Food
I'm making homemade döner kebab tomorrow, and I realised that none of the red chilli sauces I was seeing in shops looked great. Nor did any of the recipes I saw online.
So, yeah, I invented my own.
I could eat it all with a spoon.
Ingredients:
3–4 relatively long red chillis, de-seeded (or not. You do you), roughly chopped
1/4 red bell pepper, roughly chopped
1/4 small onion, thinly sliced
Half a garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp pul biber, minimum ( I went more towards half a teaspoon)
1 tbsp tomato concentrate
1/2 tbsp lemon juice, minimum (I went a fair bit more)
A small pinch of MSG
Salt, to tasteMethod:
1. Heat the olive oil in a small sauce pan over very low heat, add the onions and garlic, and sweat until soft, and taking on a tiny bit of colour.
2. Add the tomato concentrate, raise the heat to the lower end of medium and cook out, stirring, until it caramelises. Add a tbsp or so of water to deglaze, and stir.
3. Put the contents of the sauce pan in the jar of an immersion blender, along with all of the other ingredients.
4. Blend until it will blend no more. You want purée.
5. Taste and adjust your seasonings.
6. You're done.

- Are pregenent sir?Ianbolton
- the actual story is they have to ask men if they were born male to determine if they are not pregnant. its funny when you imagine some old geezer getting asked.kingsteven

UK is Fucked
Dear fellow United Kingdom subjects.
The local election results are a wake-up call. If Nigel Farage gets elected as prime minister we will prove once and for all that we are a country of fools. Fools because we let that shower of shit in Westminster, regardless of the party, get away with arrogance, apathy, stupidity, ignorance and corruption without recourse.
The maelstrom of appalling excuses by the Labour party candidates for losing their seats in the local elections is hilarious. Truly hilarious. 'The dog ate all the ballot papers' would be more believable.
I don't know what the answer is but the Farage shaped writing is on the wall if things don't change.
Sincerely,
Angry from Birmingham

- People are idiots, and I say that as one.Nairn
- Think it's inevitable now. The less appalling options have almost run out. The place is fucked and Labour, despite having some genuinely useful long-term plansFax_Benson
- won't have time to fix enough before the GE. The urge to put the fork into the socket is real. We've done it before.Fax_Benson
- Brexit already ruined loads of businesses, made our lives worse, so weird that people seem to still back the guy who had a big part in doing that to us.PhanLo
- Life is truly miserable for people because of it, but not because of the reasons reform is running on.PhanLo

- I live in a part of London that's been mostly Labour with a smattering of LibDem for DECADES, and now it's over half Greens. Interesting times.Nairn
- Same here. Birmingham has been Labour since the Stone Age. Now it’s a mix of lib dems, green, reform and labour. I have no idea how this will turn out.Morning_star

Ad of the day
Maybe it's just me, but doesn't this look like he's trying to film her tits whilst she's trying to cut his hair?
- I thought he was shaving her tits in some sort of weird reciprocation.Nairn
- Weird!! What is he doing though? Maybe he's using a breast cancer scanner app on his phoneIanbolton

- What's amusing for me here is seeing that 'Bap' is a Norner thing, except for a wee smattering across the UK.. including one wee dot exactly where I grew upNairn
- A rollPhanLo
- Bapkingsteven
- heh, I'd as much use any from bun, roll or bap, although I think the latter a bit wider and flatter. And then there are stotties... .Nairn
- None come anywhere near closer to a Scottish Morning Roll though.Nairn
- @continuity: https://encrypted-tb…Nairn
- roll and bun pretty much interchangeable, local variety is the belfast bap, bit denser and 4 times the sizekingsteven
- @Nairn you fuck off with that.
Don't make me post photos of the homemade kebab I'll be making this weekend. Including the bread.Continuity - A roll or a bun. Bap sounds like a fancy thing you'd get at hipster eatery.skinny_puppy
- @pups: I see you. Want an avocado bap? There's home-cured artisan smoked salmon on it.Continuity
- That's a rollstoplying
- @continuity exactlyskinny_puppy
- I've heard Roll, Bap, Bun, Barm Cake, Cob, Batch. Kinda depends where you are in the country.Morning_star
- surely we all love a warm pair of baps first thing in the morning. Maybe with some meat in there. And sauce?Ianbolton
- but still, they're either bread rolls or buns here in LeedsIanbolton
- Dinner roll!Akagiyama
- travelled across the North of England last week - Bun, Roll, Bap and Barm were all used._me_
- According to Italian-Canadians: cake_niko
- a cob is a particular black country version, rectangular not round or square.
a bap is larger, as nairn sayshans_glib - and i agree, the daddy of all is the scottish morning roll, perhaps the finest piece of baking known to mankind, as long as it's fresh from a bakery.hans_glib
- supermarket "morning rolls" are an abomination.hans_glib
- @m_s - good observation. Perhaps someone could map out all of the regional differences? That might be fun!Nairn
- ^ flol!Continuity
- tbf to MS, i just saw the photo and commented BAP on impulse without even reading the words.kingsteven
- I was just kidding. I realised after posting I should've put the link 'above the fold' so to speak.Nairn
- FFS don't be fair to me, i should have paid closer attention. I need to learn,I do this all the fucking time.Morning_star
- hehe, you're not alone! the amount of times I do the same... @hans - Dunns in Crouch End do a French Baguette that has a SMR finish on the top and it is Divine.Nairn

Artificial Intelligence
working on a little waste-of-time project for a friend.
Friend tells me one of his connections has a son who is an AI expert.
Talk to AI expert son, he can build website, back end, admin, inject AI into everything to make our lives easier.
Gives us decent quote.
Meet with him to discuss scope.
Discover He uses all the latest ai chatbot tools to vibe code.
Ask him what programming language he studied.
Says nah bruh, I'm just great at prompting.FML
- Imagine, a new wave of programmers who have never programmed a single line of code. crazy times._niko
- I can only hope your response was a simple 'nah bruh'.Nairn
- I'm not surprised, there's not much coding going into building websites nowadays. And there's a lot of libraries already in place.palimpsest
- Even pre-AI I'm sure anybody on QBN could build a website with no coding skills just using a CMS.palimpsest
- yeah fair enough, especially for front end stuff, but I do get nervous when it comes to more critical/back-end admin/account stuff, but hey what do I know :)_niko
- on a side note my buddy who teaches )professor) Computer Science at a University here just told me that AI is doing such a good job coding that he doesn't nee_niko
- graduate students any more lol. Crazy. What's the point of even offering these courses?_niko
- Senior devs are going to be in high demand in a few years, never been a better time to geht into coding than now!jamesbeat

Elon Musk
So Elon Musk seems to have accidentally revealed his mom's account is one of his alt's. So he has both been impersonating his own infant child and mother online.
How much more pathetic can you get.
