You cut the lid off with a tin opener & whack it in the oven for a very disappointing pie.

the dad of one of my exes' used to have fray bentos as a guilty pleasure. given that he was a priest this is arguably on the "acceptable" end of the vices spectrum

Yeah we used to eat them because we thought it was what you had to do as students, then we all had a crack ping moment of why are we doing this to ourselves

While a grain platform can be used for corn, a specialized corn head is ordinarily used instead.


Mate of mine just got a prawn cocktail sour beer or something through in his monthly craft beer box.

It's not.

'Nature' will survive. If we did absolutely nothing it would survive but around 95% of species would likely die. Then it would start to recover. This takes place over 50 years to millions of years. Places like India might become uninhabitable within our lifetime.

The runaway greenhouse scenario where we end up like Venus is considered unlikely. The CSPAM climate thread thinks its the only possible scenario. Note that they have very few posters with ecological backgrounds so you should be asking why they know anymore than you do. They don't. They barely understand the science papers they randomly cite. Most of them are computer janitors and have absolutely no authority on climatology.

That's not to say the situation isn't bad. It's pretty bad. As said, India is probably boned. Lot of places in Africa also boned. Malawi, for example, is predicted to lose most of its maize harvest by 2050. They're currently trying to mitigate against this with crop diversification and conservation programs. They might be able to survive in a way India won't. All this means there's gonna be a lot of migration and refugees. This is the real grim poo poo right here. A lot more likely than the low probability apocalypse scenarios is that humanity just murders lots of people because of unrest. If it goes nuclear then there's your end of the world.

I think they've hosed keeping temperatures from going over +2.5 C by 2100 but they might still be able to manage 3 or 3.5. Developing world is going to need a lot of money injected into it to incentivise them away from following the industrialization path that the west got to indulge in.

The real problem is there's very little wiggle room now. We've wasted our getting ready time and now we have to do something. So if another republican government gets in power in 4 years then the US rips up any carbon reduction plans and that's it. We can still get out of this without complete disaster but it means a world wide reduction in carbon continuing from now until 2100 with absolutely no room for bumps. One insane right wing demagogue in the US or China that goes 'gently caress it' and industrialises more than ever before and that's it. The world has to thread a needle for a long time.

That is to say: We might have to panic about the end of the world but not right now. So chill. And don't let genuinely mentally ill cspam posters get into your head.

my mother’s people are from the coast, our best god is Kondole and I live in Derbyshire LOTS OF SAD FACES


Kondole was a a grumpy anti social bastard. One night his people were having a party and needed someone to get the fire going and our boy was the only one with the matches. He didn’t want to dance so buggered off into the bush and hid there. The men of the tribe found him and there was this massive row that turned into a fight, and one of the men speared Kondole though the head. Bunjil the creator eagle god was sitting in a tree and witnessed all this and decided to turn all the men into Animals - he revived Kondole from the dead and made him the first whale.

Enjoy your fishing!
