Johnson has been vaccinated against COVID several times, and it was on the news at the time. He is publicly pro-vaccine.

The hairdryer thing was probably before vaccines were available, although this article does not make that clear.

The set-top box can do OTA too.

Celery. Chop it up finely and add to sauces and stews; great in bolognaise for added umami flavour.

Also carrots, cooked and blended into sauces and gravy, adds sweetness. And don’t forget carrot cake, which surprisingly does not taste of carrots, but they give it a real moistness.

Well, if you are not circumcised then you have a hole in your foreskin (when it is not retracted), and you also have the hole in the glans. So, multiple holes.

If banning does not work, how do you explain the significant drop in attacks by breeds that are already banned, whereas XL Bullies, previously not banned, account proportionately for far more attacks?

You definitely don’t need advanced maths for most programming, especially the usual enterprise/web development. I have worked for almost 35 years as a programmer, the last 25 years as a senior developer, and my math skills are not great. My formal maths education finished at age 16, and I only scored an average grade in the exam. Programming is a distinct skill from maths, and if you have some natural aptitude and a real interest in it, then you can make a career as a developer, mostly learning as you go. Some formal computer science education may be useful too, although I did not have much of that either.

Guilty! But you are posting in the wrong community.

I lack the willpower to block the bot. Someone please save me from myself.

I’m afraid that does not help, fiction or non-fiction, it is all the same to me. It is amusing to try and spot the clear fakes, and to second guess the responses - will it be NTA or YTA?

I probably need to go cold turkey.

I accept everything you say, but I am still subscribed to it and read it a lot, even gasp following the Reddit link to the replies. Someone help me please with my addiction.

It is dark energy, and not dark matter, that is believed to be causing the accelerating expansion of the universe. Dark matter has the opposite effect - gravitational attraction.

There is also a private health care sector, with its own hospitals. A lot of consultants work in both the public (NHS) and private sectors, e.g., one day a week they will have a private clinic at a private hospital. The private sector is funded by insurance, and this is often a perk offered by employers. Waiting lists are generally shorter in the private sector, but, in my experience, the expertise and level of care is no better than the NHS.

I have always been called a developer in my career, but yeah, I am a programmer/code monkey. Developer sounds posher, but we all know what we really do. I like programming, writing code, and I could do without all the bureaucracy that goes with it, some of which I really hate.

The excellent “I, Claudius” BBC TV series was repeated recently (I think it was on BBC4). One of my all time favourites. I had forgotten how funny the Caligula episode is, and the demise of Messalina is truly bone-chilling.

He has brought it all upon himself, by his past behaviour.

I use Kilner glass jars for home made preserves. The jars come with non-reusable lids, so you have to buy new lids when you re-use the jars for the next batch. Until I discovered the lids from Stokes mayonnaise jars are a perfect fit for the Kilner jars. Good thing I like mayonnaise.

It is tricky. My assumption was the opposite, that this would help Labour win the next election, which is why Starmer is doing it. But what do I know?

Yes, technology@lemmy.world especially seems to be more active to me.

I should sleep more often.
