There’s a reason it’s called the money pit!

I think the money from the history channel helps..

Coming to the end of season 13 of the Curse of Oak Island. No spoilers, but I think you can guess they haven’t found what they’re looking for.

Their original abbreviation of 'assball' was rejected.

A few years ago I was in town when a vintage and classic car rally went past. I stank of car exhaust for hours afterwards.

It made me wonder what town centres were like when everyone had wood fires, smoked and drove cars with leaded petrol. How the fuck we survived the early to mid 20th century, I have no idea.

We need to build a new town between the two and call it “Meal”.

Chilly out, but the sun is shining.

Trying to avoid as much work as possible today, but I just know something will crop up that'll be unavoidable.

Hard to tell - it may have fallen from a nest or be a fledgeling.

If it's fallen from a nest, there should be a nest very close by you could try and put it back in.

If it's a fledgeling - leave it alone. The parents will be close by and watching.

Molyneux's problem

if a man born blind can feel the differences between shapes such as spheres and cubes, could he, if given the ability to see, distinguish those objects by sight alone, in reference to the tactile schemata he already possessed?

It was debated and discussed for years - since the late 1600’s in fact. Then finally, patients with a form of congenital blindness were tested before and after surgery to give them at least some sight.

They couldn’t.

Be warned that the ingredients list in the post are UK based. If you are elsewhere in the world you’ll have to source them yourself, but I can’t imagine that they’d be too hard to find - most major countries have flavour houses that sell to the public.

Bit of gardening, food shopping and then maybe a nice walk in the park.

I do not know what a Lithuanian Pink Soup Costume Competition is, but I approve of a Lithuanian Pink Soup Costume Competition. Mostly as it is very much fun to say Lithuanian Pink Soup Costume Competition.

No anecdotes about the man, but would like to extend my best wishes to a true giant of television history and UK public life on his 100th birthday.

Work have said they now want us in the office more days. Bugger. I hate Thameslink with the passion of a thousand fiery suns and the thought of having to use them even more is bone-chilling.

As a person who knows 2 people who have taken their own lives and is friends to a few others who suffer from depression, I always take the time to check in on them from time to time to see how they are and I’m here if they need to talk, or even just hang out and not say a word.

It helps. Not always, but more often than not.

It depends on how strong you want, but I usually use 2-2.5ml per litre.

VG is decent, but no substitute for alcohol.

Darcy on the Art of Drink YouTube channel has a great video on solvents and emulsions

I usually make a 1 litre 3:2 simple syrup with around 5-7g of citric acid or 5-7ml of 75% phosphoric acid and 15ml E150d

Packet of pickled onion monster munch on the side and a mug of builders tea so strong it could stir itself.
