If he never fired a shot it isn't really an assassination attempt is it? Intended quite possibly, but not an actual attempt.

Others are asking how a person with a firearm came within 500m of the former president. Every time he goes out there are people with firearms closer than 500m, and I don't mean Secret Service or Police.

180 grand for the printer? Holy cack that's peanuts. Just think what we could do if we spent the money on this sort of thing instead of giving it to politicians.

All the better for China then - they don't give a flying friar about anyone else.

What's the odds he looks at gay porn and visits The Blue Oyster Club?

China doesn't give a flying friar about anyone else. The fact that this could make launches difficult for them is neither here nor there.

They really don't care.

Some of them must have been fairly long lived - they couldn't have grown that large in just a few years. Several species of whale live over a 100 years. And then we have the Greenland shark living possibly up to 500 years and although not massive, their ancestors must have done something right as their descendants are still here over 400 million years later. Or perhaps they were just very good at hiding.

Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

Any ideas?

TIA

My daughter is studying Creative Writing and English Literature at Birmingham (UK) University. She's put together some pieces on Substack. Most of them are over my head, but this one hits right in the feels. Apart from a couple of technical inaccuracies, it's spot on. Hope you like it ;-)

 

This will be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me.

 

The best of both worlds.

Lunch will be one of these filled with homemade hummus and salad.
