I simultaneously make seasoned rice cooked in vegetable stock and a teaspoon or two of the same spices I cooked the chickpeas and onions in With some chopped carrot, peppers, peas and sweetcorn, it’s a staple on our meal lists. We call it ‘Rice Fandango’.

In honour of Carlos Fandango :-)

I don’t remember any protests or marches about this.

Wasn’t meant to. I was highlighting the fact that 15000 have been murdered but nobody marches or demonstrates for them. Nobody is raising questions in the UN or using the g word.

It’s to show our support and prove we will get involved if asked/required. The US carrier could have flattened the place on it’s own certainly. The Netherlands, Australia, Canada and Bahrain provided support as part of the mission as well.

Good luck ;-)

I think some of the reasoning is that because it’s taken the same ingredients/processes/time etc. then commodores can charge the same as conventional beer. Where this falls down is here in UK the stronger the alcohol, the higher the tax. Companies probably will justify higher price despite less alcohol because of the expense of research or extra equipment.

They’ll stiff us on the prices anyway they can.

UK here. Guinness Zero is uncanny. Just like standard draught. I always keep some in the fridge at home.

Even worse if you’re a whale 😞

She really is pushing her own agenda here isn’t she?

There was a post here the other day suggesting she’s trying to get sacked. Have to agree.

Definitely, instead of a pretend burger or chicken. I get why some people do it, and we do it a home quite a bit with pretend mince etc. I always feel a bit of a cheat though and am trying and steer my wife away from that.

Embrace the veg!

Been using it on all 3 of my machines for the last few months. I used to always end up back on Mint but about a year ago that started crapping out on things. MX just works for me. One thing about all distros (that I’ve tried anyway) lately, is that they don’t see the wifi card in my small Beelink PC. So it’s plugged in. Windows did see it, but I wiped that and installed Linux not long after I bought it. Had a couple of issues with KDE and it wouldn’t wake from sleep so back to XFCE. Not too heavily customised but it seems to be a keeper for my main machine - the Beelink. I have a Lenovo Ideapad that currently has Manjaro on - might try vanilla Debian on that. The other machine is an ancient HP laptop - MX XFCE will be staying on that until it craps out for good.

Holy crap, that’s depressing.

And whitey wonders why the locals have got the arseache.

I think hope they were being sarcastic.

Not if they’ve been declared as subhuman. We seem to be heading that way.
