Beef and barley in the slow cooker, now to shower and head to Ikea. The freelancing life!
- you're better than IKEAmonospaced
- Not when I'm on an Ikea budget. And craving meåt bälls.i_monk
- I've recently turned myself off the idea of getting a slow cooker — going to buy myself a stove-top pressure cooker instead.detritus
- I use the slow cooker only for ramen soup preparations, for the rest, the express pot... included when i do oxtail stewOBBTKN
- I use my slow cooker for chicken chili and other stews, and sometimes a pulled pork or beef.monospaced
- ...this was one of the articles that changed my mind: http://www.seriousea…detritus
- (I've basically spent the last 6 months hovering around the idea of getting a slow cooker. Was about to Do It last week, then read the likes of the above there)detritus
- That guy is deliberately making the dishes bad in the slow cooker though. It's easy to use it to make great food. I cook with all 3 and have for decades.monospaced
- But if you're already good at making stews and soups in a dutch oven, then you probably don't NEED a slow cooker.monospaced
- That was just one article on the subject, there were a few that agreed with it. I'll get a slow cooker eventually, I'm just going to start off with a pressure odetritus
- My only problem with the slow cooker is the size. Never get the dull-looking muck he's posted pics of.i_monk

Anyhoo, someone has blocked the toilet in the office. Has to be the worst thing someone can do. My arse needs emptying and there's no legitimate way to do it comfortably.

- hahahaha wasn't me, I stayed home!HijoDMaite
- Lol at still having separate men's and women's toilets. Where do you live, the 18th Century?face_melter
- No, Face, where most of the world's population still live, with certain natural bounds that a lot of people appreciate. Where do you? Neutereden?detritus
- We have mixed toilets here and I really wish we didn't. it means that there are rarely pristine bogs because men are filthy assholes who defile all with pissdetritus
- out the window?microkorg
- find a trashcansted
- ^^ Wait. If you had separate bogs, the men would still be pissing everywhere, right? You will disregard those natural bounds and the women's instead?face_melter
- I'd just use the ladies on the sly.detritus
- I used to have a restaurant and I can tell you with certainty that the woman's bathroom was always way filthier than the mensGnash
- That I can believe, but having lived in a warehouse for nearly a decade I can as equally state that at least women don't piss all over the place...detritus
- in public restrooms women pee without touching the toilet seat, or trying not to, thats my theorydrgs
- my partner does that. it's borderline hilarious to watch. AND I DO WATCH.detritus

Definitely got that Montezuma's Revenge. Woke up at 4 am clenching my abdomen in pain and headed to the bathroom for a nice workout. Fuck you conquistadores!
I was in Mexico all day Sunday and have no regrets, still the best seafood restaurant I've been to in years. Here is a pic of the culprits:
Shrimp tacos and Blackened Octopus tacos!
My office mates will have to do without my dj skills and my dad jokes today. Looks like it's just me and my sick (with a cold) daughter watching Disney movies all day.
- That blackened octopus looks great!dmay
- it all looks sooooo goodmonospaced
- looks delicious,
had a basic kebab today , gave me an indigestionGeorgesII - Always have some charcoal capsules in the bag when traveling/eating out in Mexico ;) Charcoal absorbs toxins, really helps.sea_sea

Paging mugwart!!
Hey bud do you have any idea who is working on the VFX for this? I just pray the team is top notch, I don't want anyone to fuck this up for me. :-/
- Hey! I'm not on this. Looks like MPC, AKA the slave drivers, are doing this. They do great stuff normally so yeah i might be good ;-)mugwart
- http://www.moving-pi…mugwart
- They did Jungle Book. I don't think there has ever been better done anywhere on anything.HAYZ1LLLA
- personally I felt their work was sub par. had it not been for incredible weta's work, people would have focused on how bad mogli was:
https://www.wetafx.c…mugwart - ironically the best work you'll see is the stuff you'll never know was CGI!mugwart
- annoyingly its trendy for a director to claim no CGI in the shot when the entire shot was screen projected with CG!mugwart
- I second on Hayz1lla's comment, Jungle book was fantasticGeorgesII
- Mail them a warning. Tell them not to fuck up!pango
- The VFX in Jungle book were nothing short of amazing. Did they win the Oscar for that? Or is that when you won Mugwart?HijoDMaite
- Most of the work was incredible. There was some roppy work but yeah - time, changes, budget. Its probably the only disney film i have ever like. (pre rogue one)mugwart
- alas no,not this time. We didn´t make the short list this year. We have won a few times in the past though. the choices are always a strange one.mugwart
- never understood why the last batman wasn't even nominated. Personally i think that was the hardest achievement i have ever seen artist push for.mugwart
- I actually thought the JB film was meh. But the CG blew my face off when I took into account it was all shot in a small room. It's the new bar my mind has set.HAYZ1LLLA

My 15 year old daughter is currently taking DRAMA and MUSICAL THEATER in 10th grade.
She's been telling me how most of the kids in these classes say they have not yet figured out their sexual preference or even gender identity. She says the subject is constantly thrown around in conversation, to the point she feels a bit like an outsider for just liking boys. I think this is complete bullshit. I'm sorry but I am not just being "traditional" here what the fuck man, what's wrong with parents today?? Do you care that your child only has a constant diet of Hollywood, Social Media and Tumblr?At what point does tolerance, bigotry and common sense meet?
- I know exactly what you're talking about. School for the Arts here is the same. many kids seem to be figuring out what gender they are.Gnash
- I have a 15 year old daughter too, everything is a drama... and these classes (Arts, Music, Theatre ) encourage difference...dmay
- yeah its disturbing how the media drums it down kids throats. Corny as it sounds teach your kid to be true to herself, to think and question everything.mugwart
- And at least there they fill comfortable to discuss that without someone calling them fags or gaysdmay
- and not give a fuck what others think/care about.mugwart
- (also common sense in 2017..... ;-))mugwart
- :) i think you are over reacting. Aren't drama and theater usually where misfits gathers?pango
- if she doesn't fit in with the misfit. i'd say she is safe.pango

Been wearing a heart monitor since last Friday. The idea is every time you feel a palpitation, you push this button on your monitor and it sends a transmission to where the doc can see it. So I'm pushing the button when my heart freaks out and then the doctor calls me on Monday and says I need to see you asap. Your heart has been racing up to 190 bpm! This freaks me the fuck out, since I was in California on a work trip. I went to go see him today finally and he prescribed a beta blocker/blood pressure med. I've been feeling totally fine since Sunday and haven't pressed the monitor once. Doc says if this pill is ineffective, they'll have to do an ablation where they go in through the groin (!) and shock the heart.
Hardest part is no caffeine. That's just inhumane,
- are they panic attacks?
How long do you have to be on the blockers? did you journal when your heart began racing, what were u doing in those moments?bklyndroobeki - where you doing anything when it hit 190?
sorry to hear. hope the beta blockers do the trick. Hang in thereGnash - Metoprolol ftw!PonyBoy
- Yeah pony, exactly what I'm on - 25mg.
Thanks all. Feeling good and staying positive!stoplying

Trying to watch Ultimate Beastmaster on Netflix but the mandatory "USA! USA! USA!" every three minutes is really getting obnoxious. Why even have competitors from five other countries if you're going to focus so heavily on the Americans?

Try to discuss politics and defend your point of view in a language that is not yours, is not easy my friend...
- terry crews really sucks eheheh,

(ps try hope your not dyslexic as well - that's defending a point of view with that disability!)mugwart - A downvote for a post like this? LOLOBBTKN

El asesinato de personajes siempre será una característica de la política. Siempre habrá personas que mienten y engañan para fines políticos, y, en mayor o menor medida, lograrlo. Siempre habrá teorías de la conspiración, ya veces conspiraciones reales, y odio, y miedo, e ignorancia, y venganza, y todas las otras putrefacciones. El grado en que estas putrefactas prosperan depende del medio ambiente. No hay nadie más hospitalario para ellos que los medios de comunicación de derecha, que ahora está en todas partes y se multiplica.

@pango
Character assasinations will always be a characteristic of politics. There will always be people who lie, and deceive for political ends, and for better or worse, will succeed. There will always be conspiracy theories, at times conspiracy reality, and hate, and fear, and ignorance, and vengeance, and all other putrefactions. The grade in which putrefaction is measured is dependent on the ambient medium. There is nothing more hospitable for those who the means of communication is a right, which is now everywhere and multiplies.
- oh thanks!pango
- The last part is not correctly translated...OBBTKN
- "...There is nothing more hospitable for those than the right-wing media, wich is now..."OBBTKN
- ^ this is the correct translationOBBTKN
- Where's this from pango? 'Derecha' is simply right, not right-wing. I took this as a comment on free speech. Not an attack on right-wing parties.IRNlun6
- It'd be denial to think all the 'putrefactions' listed would only apply to ring-wing media.IRNlun6
- I seriously just randomly copied from somewhere and google translate it.pango
- Talk about difficulty in arguing about politics in a different language... that simple difference changes the entire context of the statement.IRNlun6

I wish more people knew about kodi, I have one setup at my house running from a raspberrypi and haven't been on any of those malware infested websites,
enjoy it while it still legal
https://kodi.tv/- love kodi - i use it to run screenings.
Just use it for films/tv shows I already have thoughmugwart - i've been using it as a girlfriend-friendly interface to my movie collection. it's not perfect but it's pretty nicescarabin
- Love it, so simple and convenient and the entire library of movies and shows at your fingertips. It should be free for all or at least a small monthly fee_niko
- i just wish i could figure out how to separate movies from tv shows. like give each a different source or whateverscarabin
- Will try it this wkndbklyndroobeki

London and U.K. peeps, I have a question for you.
I wanted to know are there really "no-go" zones in your countries? We hear about neighborhoods that are a majority Muslim and have seen videos of Muslims marching down the streets with signs and arguing with Brits about Sharia law.
Is this exaggerated? Is it totally true? Can anyone give me first hand experiences in this matter?
As far as I know there is not one place in the U.S. that would be considered a no-go zone due to Muslims. Maybe gangs but not religion.
Thanks in advance, I just would like to be educated by those on the ground.
- where did you hear about this?
it's complete bullshit. propaganda feeding the hate among people.uan - I bet you read that in the ballerina vid of the day thread.uan
- yea i think that's where someone mentioned it and I got to thinking about it and wondering if there was any truth to it.HijoDMaite
- just make sure you're with an adult and you should be fine. Jesus.Fax_Benson
- I think you're right about the just gangs, Hijo. As an outsider, I see it as you're ignorant if you think religious no-go zones and every muslim is sleeper...IRNlun6
- ... and also ignorant if you think Islam is just a religion of peace and has nothing to do with terrorism. As always the truth lies somewhere in the middle.IRNlun6
- the only 'no-go' zone i know of is Shoreditch in east London on a friday night. Overun by complete wankers, stay clear.Bluejam
- haha BlueJam. No, Hijo there are no 'No Go' zones with spittle-mouthed Muslims guarding the perimeters - that is all a lie. Here in Britain at least.detritus
- However, there are 'ghetto-like' areas in provincial towns and cities that are 99% Muslim and not exactly encouraging for white indigenous folk to visit...detritus
- ...but that's just 'cos they're grim and shit, much like white council estate ghettoes were indigineous white folk aren't exactly queing up to visit either.detritus
- there's a particular Indonesian restaurant I'd stay clear of, on account of the state of it's wine list.Fax_Benson
- "where indigenous" even. Strange how spelling competence can completely invert between one post and the next.detritus
- Thanks Hijo for having the intellect to question this nonsense. Detritus has it about right. Like all countries there are some very dodgy areas, however ...Morning_star
- ...these are not created by any particular group or religion.Morning_star
- This is like an accidental troll post... NOOOOOO! of course they are not - be careful where you get your information from - it fits a certain American narrativefadein11
- Ghettos in UK cities exist for economical reasons and that only. Like people choose to live in shitholes.fadein11
- Every major conurbation has its own bandit country - regardless of the makeup of the populace. About 92% of Glasgow is a no-go area. Only joking :Pface_melter
- It's 85%face_melter
- i live in the a massively ethnically diverse city in the UK. I grew up in the 70's/80's in schools which were pretty much 50% mixed. Race wasn't an issue backfadein11
- then amongst us younglings because we all grew up like that. I have many good friends from all walks of life/ethnicity/relig... - never believefadein11
- The person who mentioned the no-go zones should back up their assertion. I was curious too when I heard it as it was the first time hearing about it._niko
- i have not viewed all these vids, but this kind of narrative is out there. https://www.google.c…HijoDMaite
- the division and hate spun by those pushing an agenda. My lifetime experience of Muslims has been nothing but positive. What the fuck is happening with thisfadein11
- world.fadein11
- also this? https://www.youtube.…HijoDMaite
- Go to Manchester!!sureshot
- From my experience of life - no generalisations are ever accurate - even Trump supporters.fadein11
- The UK has been ethnically diverse since the 1950's when the doors were opened for cheap labour to rebuild post war Britain. There has been no recent invasionfadein11
- or 'swarm' as our lovely ex-PM put it. It's all bollocks. Please, this really drives me insane. No go zones in the UK? Any dangerous areas are down to economicsfadein11
- not religion. And the US has plenty more no go zones than most.fadein11
- Makes my head spin. Life is too short to be fucking uptight about someone's race/religion or whatever. One simple lesson: be cool and don't be a cunt.face_melter
- Like saying crossing the road is a no go zone because you are a million times more likely to be flattened by a bus than blown up by a 1 in a million extremist..fadein11

- non-EU immigration - breakdown please? Yes there may have been a rise but not a swarm... jesus.fadein11
- What the fuck - I cannot believe I am having this debate in 2017. Even if so how has a rise in Islamic immigration have any connection with no-go zones/terror.fadein11
- All Islamic terror in UK has been by British muslims. Jesus - dont feed the hate.fadein11
- no terror on British soil from Islamic immigrants in last 20 years. Fact.fadein11
- mis-read hijo's post the uk has some of the hardest cunts around, no chance there would be a no-go zone there lol. The original comment was about europe_niko
- and there are plenty of snowflakier countries where that might be a possibility_niko
- There are plenty of places in Scotland and Northern Island that are still no go if you're Catholic or Protestant.monoboy
- *Ireland.monoboy
- Define 'No-go' area. What's would you expect to happen there?fruitsalad
- By the way, there's plenty of military defined no-go areas all over UK/USA. "MILITARY" "MUSLIM" See the connection yet? M words. M mother f*cking words.fruitsalad
- What the what? What exactly are you trying? Fruit salad.pango
- After the riots in Bradford and the backlash from white brits they know their place these days. doesnt stop them walking around with a chip on their shouldertrooperbill
- ^ I mean what is a no go area. Are we talking a gated community? a guarded community? If you go there you get beaten up? You get robbed? raped? what?fruitsalad
- it is a term someone just made up. I think they meant dangerous public space.pango
- where did you hear about this?

To your response, growing up years before "Political correction" I'd say yes and same time no.
My area was a strange one. One part very poor; Muslims and 'foriengers' (as my racist father would call it), rich 'jewish' areas with strange houses and normal 'Christian' suburbs for 'normal' people. the '' is my failed parental teachings.
The school fights were bloody and violent and the medics were often called out. In a way it was good as people were learning that they just hated and were looking for excuses to beat the living shit out of someone.
There were parts of the place you didnt go - I guess a 'no-go' as you put above. Pubs were very risky and in clubs which were a giant sleaze fest - I would be know to just be dancing over blood.
Now there is a lid and a word on things and I only see people subressed not to talk about it nor admit there is a problem.
Personally I think this is the power of the BritExit and Trump movements as suddenly bigets have a 'say/'vote'.
I digress, moving on to your question ... to be honest yes but on a smaller scales.
Not because the world is better but as people are too fucking poor to living in London and are having to move out.- forgive the dyslexics errors, struggling this moment.
as to strange houses - my father was a chartered surveyor so I would get low downs on house in the car!mugwart - Also Ive seen the worst of all sides of the fence but now people I think are just pissed to fucking death of this shit and just want to live a life!mugwart
- so all those YT vids out there with "reports on the ground" may have come from groups sympathetic to the neo-nazis running a muck?...HijoDMaite
- ...and the overall disdain for a growing Muslim population in the U.K. and Europe?HijoDMaite
- growing muslim population? what are you on about???? there isn't a growing muslim population aside from normal population growth. We have been ethnicallyfadein11
- diverse for over half a century. We only accepted a miniscule amount of Syrian refugees (shameful) - there is no growing muslim population lol.fadein11
- what? there is no growing Muslim population? I didn't think there was debate about that. ok I need to do more research in to this. thanks.HijoDMaite
- "overall disdain for a growing Muslim population in the U.K" - you said itfadein11
- I think the regeneration projects that are happening through out london are the main issue. People are loosing a sense of identity and cutlrual history.mugwart
- Take Soho - when I started working here famous small record shops were nexted to taliors next to brothels, next to a comic shop. Now these places are being ...mugwart
- booted out (aka local comminity regardless of ethinic background) and replaced with starbucks/ prets and million £ 1 bed flats.mugwart
- its my opion that as people are loosing this and listening and reading dribble like the Mail.... its easy to be herded into this 'right' wing movement.mugwart
- Someone posted a img a while back where noting cultural housing 100 years ago to now. I think people are just uneducated and fighting against the wrong thingmugwart
- but im an idiot - what do I know ;-)mugwart
- I agree to a degree mugwart - but gentrification is happening across London and every major city - its a by product of failing capitalism where homogeny rules.fadein11
- Then we agree!mugwart
- forgive the dyslexics errors, struggling this moment.
