If your eggs are more than a couple of days old, don't poach them. Fry or scramble will both be fine, but poachies need the freshest eggs you can get.

If you must poach an older egg, line a cup with cling film/Saran wrap and make a parcel of the egg then poach for the usual time. It's not as pretty, but it pretty much works.

If you fancy a small change over to comic/graphic novels, I can highly recommend the Alan Moore run of Swamp Thing. Two years ago I would have also included Neil Gaiman's Sandman, but it seems that he's a piece of shit, so if you do want to read his stuff, please pirate it to avoid giving him any money.

$7 per US gallon is the price; that's around €1.60 per litre.

I dunno, there must be something in her head that makes her neck so chunky.

Which market? US/EU?

Budget?

My wife loves the EV3. We took a test drive last summer and she almost got one as a company car, but there was a long wait for delivery, so she took an EQA instead. Now she's in a different job, we're waiting for them to hit the post-lease resale market in a couple of years.

There's a lot of discussion of the first episode here: https://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=119160.240

I've linked to the start of the live discussion, as I reckon 8 pages of pre-release speculation is a bit much for most people, but YMMV.

My initial thought is that George Fouracres is the standout performer in this episode, but given that he has plenty of sketch and "proper" stage experience he's got a big headstart on some of the stand-ups. He provided my two big laughs, one in the Hamnet sketch, and in the final "45 Seconds...". Emma Sidi also does well with her one main character. Post-Fast Show, the sketches do seem very slow and dragged out; that's the SNL way, it seems.

And yet they stopped making them! Pretty much every available Ioniq 28 or 38kwh in the UK had been used as a cab since new, so has 100k+ miles and a shiny steering wheel. I'm still tempted to get one, as they start at £5k but they will have been abused and will likely need a bit of work to get roadworthy.

How can they pivot away from something they were barely doing? 18 months ago we went to our local Honda dealer, and the salesman spent the whole time telling us why the sole EV they had on the lot was a pile of crap and a waste of money. We'd made it clear that we were only interested in BEV due to the tax advantages and he just bad-mouthed the only option he had for making a sale.

Refusing to use a condom is a massive red flag. Yes, they reduce sensation, but they also protect both parties from significant health risks. An IUD is irrelevant to him at this stage

Always use a condom until you have both tested clear and are committed to each other. If your relationship is poly, then condom use and testing is required for every new partner, and it's sensible to have everyone retested when someone new comes into the relationship.

I'd personally be concerned about their behaviour, either then trying to coerce you into unprotected sex, or being a whiny shit refusing to use a condom. Both of these would make me consider withdrawing consent, but I'm a stickler for enthusiasm at all stages.

Evil Dead. I love the original trilogy, the TV show was awesome and the new ones are great as well. I wish there was a truly great videogame but what we have is fine, I guess.

There's only a bath, shower and sink in this room. Any pooping should take place in the WC next door. If that changes, I'll have more concerns than fan niose.

 

Replaced a ceiling mounted one that made the plasterboard vibrate with an inline fan. The inline fan is up in the attic and ducts through the roof. The new fan extracts 3x as much air and is much quieter.

Still need to make good the ceiling, but that's tomorrow*'s job.

*Tomorrow in this case may not actually be tomorrow.
