hemale in pain posted:they're all just hybrid bikes with fancy naming so people don't associate them with cheap commuters though I can live with fancy names if there's a functional difference between the subtypes. Hell, even in something as simple and low-kit as running there are road shoes, track shoes, trail shoes, hybrid road-trail shoes, race shoes*... *those £300 nike 4% shoes and similar, unless you are made of money you don't put miles on those fuckers once they're broken in unless you are in peak condition and shooting for a pb.

Actually, tbh, I kinda enjoy the weather as it's perfect for working and getting some training and certifications done without feeling bad about being stuck at home. It was a short cognitive dissonance moment where my brain tried to process that we're in mid-July while I have to wear my polar jumper and it was raining outside.

The floor arrows on Tesco are gone and they're scraping up all the 2m spacings. What happens off there's another spike? Seems premature.

I popped to town on the bus earlier. Despite all the signs up I was the only person in a mask. Not even the lady in her pharmacy uniform had one on. People just can't be hosed any more.

Bobby Deluxe posted:judging by my sister in laws nutritional course she is doing i am convinced i could make a fad diet revolving around measuring your portions, having meat carb and veg for every meal and carbs in moderation (perhaps even selling a special implement that measures out one persons spud / pasta allocation) and then selling a special 'slimming gum' (its just chewing gum) to keep the mouth occupied between meals quote:oh and also do some situps because no amount of dieting will get rid of a saggy gut If you do sit-ups with a beer belly, I think it just builds muscle behind the fat, so you end up with an even more pronounced belly. If you want to lose visible weight you basically have to do a lot of cardiovascular stuff rather than muscle building stuff. Or at least make sure calories in < calories out.

I will be eating Lebanese food with my gubmint tenner  Also, yeah, people are beyond the point of giving a gently caress about distancing, masks etc. The post office was full of people with no masks to the degree that I feel like I'm some kind of weirdo wearing one. Parties keep popping up around my fb feed and I can't imagine people adhering to social distancing during a rooftop party after few pints and, possibly, drugs.

Vat is 0% on some ("essential"?) foods, that was the root of the Jaffa cake court case. I think all take away and restaurant food counts as luxury.

The best thing I've seen recently is a woman (no mask, obv) picking up a bottle of wine from the shelf, idly tapping the cap against her teeth while she continued looking at the shelves, and then putting it back when she saw a bottle she preferred.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Yes I think you are right If the government used simple words to describe their decisions and guidelines, they wouldn't be able to blame the public for doing things 'wrong' when it all goes to pot. That's my cynicism (aka, the probable truth) but I sincerely think that if all these guidelines and laws had been described simply from the off we'd have had significantly fewer problems in terms of both individual behaviours and large gatherings. You need to be sure that people with low literacy levels, English as a second or other language, learning difficulties etc understand, not just White British People With A-levels.

Roblo posted:I don't mind the term gravel bike, someone says it and you know just what they're talking about. (and I have one). My point was we already had a term for those bikes though but someone decided there needed to be ANOTHER term for cyclocross bikes with slightly bigger tyres and mildly different geometry. Selling virtually the same stuff to you under another name because sales were poo poo...

I made jerk chicken and rice and it was glorious even I just used a ready made seasoning (the recipe for scratch made is just  )I couldn't have the thrilling experience of getting trampled by crowds fior 2 hours under million degrees sun in Notting Hill Carnival so eating the food is consolation.
