Russia-Ukraine Invasion
Robots captured Russian army positions for first time in history,
The Ukrainian army has been scaling up the use of ground robotic systems, currently piloted by humans from a safe distance, to perform different assault operations and pull out wounded troops from the kill zone, where human evacuation teams could be destroyed by drones.

@kingsteven - if you're milling sesame seeds over your food, have you ever tried this stuff? If not, do.
Kadoya roasted sesame oil
- Now wondering why I've not mixed <this and ^that.
https://media.tenor.…Nairn - @Nairn please report back your findings, sounds tastykoma_
- quadruple sesame! not sure if i've had this one. i need to make a trip to the asian supermarket this week, will keep an eye out.kingsteven
- In all seriousness, unlike my response in the last post, this is great stuff. You don't need loads of it, but mixed with lemon and garlic, it's TAFIanbolton

- Just picked this up based solely on this postjbasnight
- Uh oh.
Let us know how you get on with it!Nairn - @ian - out of interest, why do you buy lemon juice in bottles? I somewhat condescendingly explained to my kid on pancake day why I thought people used to buy...Nairn
- ...jif in the the eighties, but now there's no need as fresh lemons are so prevalent and cheap. But now you've got me wondering...Nairn
- I must have trump derangement syndrome, I keep seeing his melon as I scroll down from that yellow cap lol_niko
- Are you girls only just discovering seasame oil or something?Continuity
- Hey Nairn, I buy fresh lemons too, for the skin (grating), cocktails etc, but the Sicilian lemons are so flavourful so i get that for general use.Ianbolton
- also, whats the difference between roasted and toasted sesame street oil?Ianbolton
- Toasted is for dressing + low burn point so you can't cook with it. I've made that mistake before.kingsteven
- @cont no. It's fairly ubiquitous but typically cooking sesame oil or supermarket own brand 'toasted' - v light compared to this.kingsteven
- try this with that. super easy beer side

I've probably already said this, but I'm always bemused by English addresses and how particular our provincial kin are with them.
I sent a package out earlier to a client and checked with him his address, defaulting to the Royal Mail one on a package he sent me - it has four lines, but he insisted on a full six line version.
I checked his address on Google maps prior and he lives in a literal hamlet in the middle of nowhere.
There's no way his postman is going to require the extra lines, because there's literally eight houses in his entire postcode.
I, living in London, need basically two lines: my street with building number, and my postcode. That's it. I'm surrounded by literally tens of thousands of other addresses and yet mail always comes through.
But no, I absolutely must have 'the Haverings' or whatever and Lower Bumpkiss in there to, otherwise it's going to be delivered to a fucking sheep, or somesuch, in his mind.
- haha, some people love all that. I can kind of understand if you live in a genuinely interesting pad and the name is part of village history or whateverFax_Benson
- but people who self-title their ugly new-buildFax_Benson
- there's a few rural areas here (particularly around the border) where postcode is useless, one code used for 10 miles of road.kingsteven
- there were no postcodes in the south outside Dublin until 10 years ago and the idea An Post could deliver to any colloquial address became a bit of a meme.kingsteven
- so there was always a bit of resistance to the postcodes (im not sure if political or farmer brain), An Post introduced post codes in the 2010s, which iskingsteven
- per property codes. and then several years of folks in co. fermanagh and the like realising they were physically incompatible with the digital worldkingsteven
- lol, lost track of my point there... royal mail postcodes are for sorting, not delivery. so they're often next to useless in rural areaskingsteven
- but yeah, there must be some tradition or pride. several times i've googled a colloquial address only to find its the only property with that post code.kingsteven
- just do what he askedrobthelad
- Ah, so that's why i checked in with him and then made a light hearted observation here. Thanks, rob. Always with your finger on the pulse.Nairn
- I can guarantee postcode or not, since I’m Oxfordshire I either write a small poem for address or my Amazon boxes go to a sheep.maikel

Really feeling what a nightmare health insurance is in America at present. I'm looking for a new job. My contract role is up in mid May, so trying to line something up so I'm not out of work for too long.
I get my insurance currently through my contract employer. It's okay but still close to $1,600 for a family of four for medical, vision, and dental.
I get contacted by a new contract recruiter for an appealing role, give them my minimum hourly rate, then ask about health insurance. They don't even offer it.
So like why keep me on the phone when I tell you it's a dealbreaker? My wife's company insurance sucks and would cost even more.
That health insurance must pretty much be tied to employment is beyond ridiculous.
Thanks Republicans!
- Get out of this asapOBBTKN
- My wife and I are both contract with no employer paid plans. You don’t want to know what it costs us out of pocket.monospaced
- sorry for ignorance, but 1,600$ a month?HAL9001
- that is fucking insane. I wish you the absolute best dude. Being Canadian feels pretty lucky right now....exador1

- $1600 a month is good. Thats $400 a week and about standard for premiums.monospaced
- good god monogarbage
- same mg33 - family of 3 is ~$1700 monthly through healthcare.gov.whatthefunk
- I'm so glad to be on the verge of a vaguely social state that doesn't have $400 a week in health charges. That's fucking crazy money. Get it together, America xNairn
- Our shit is broken here in the UK. The NHS is hugely inefficient and underfunded but I don't worry for my kid's health because I need to pay out such huge sumsNairn
- The place you work pays for your health insurance?? Strewth! Never heard of that! Expensive down under but we pay own private health insurance.sab
- Yep I'm your whingeing pom from central casting re AU health insurance premiums, but this is madness. I'm stunned by what mono said.MrT
- checks health insurance here in Aus.. yep, $530AUD a month for family of 4.. MURCA YOU SO BROKENautoflavour

Tahini is my new favourite thing.
I used to buy it to make houmous and would do a few batches, get bored and move on and then it would just sit, a half-empty jar lonely and unwanted at the back of my fridge, before a clean out a year later.
I've gone through a whole large jar in a month now. It's great with chicken, it's great with salad, it's great with mayo as an earthy wetness to sandwiches.
Any time I snack, I hoy a glob onto the side of my plate and by Jove, it works with near everything.
- Never tried it other than in houmous. Cheers for the tip!mort_
- yup. i like it better than hummus. you use the raw version or make it?renderedred
- this is the recipe i use: https://www.loveandl…renderedred
- Another fan here. Yoghurt, garlic, tahini + lemon sauce is great, of course with a shawarma. Tahini instead of butter on toast sometimes for me too...MrT
- my fav brand: https://californiama…renderedred
- equal parts tahini and honey for the win! super man energy for the full day or night.AQUTE

- My youngest daugther, she 's vegetarian, loves it too... I've only tried it once. Still in the war between the "primitive omnivore and the Sorosian vegetarian.OBBTKN
- aw yeah! al'fez do tahini in a squeezy bottle, bought it a month ago for falafel as it was the only tahini in the local tesco, it's getting a lot of use.kingsteven
- also recently bought a sesame mill after seeing one on tiktok lol. like a pepper grinder for sesame seeds. it's great with everything...kingsteven

- I have a jar in my fridge and didn't know what to do with it. This post is helpful!stoplying
- Oh yeah, stoplying, do MrT's then, as that combo is divine. That said, I now want to try tahini and butter on toast... .Nairn
- @rend - might you be able to get 'fresh' tahini where you're at? Not sure how much difference it'd make, mind:)Nairn
- @nairn, you can, of course. but there is no difference.renderedred
- what we call tahini is tahini sauce of any kind or variety. then there's halwa of course. and raw tahini.renderedred
- Halwa paired with a medium strong English cheddar cheese is a combination to die for. I say 'paired', i mean sandwiched like a mad GodNairn
- don't start me on halwa :)renderedred
- OK, halva and cheese has gone on my to-sandwich list. Cheers!MrT
- woah, just to be clear - I sandwich wee morselets of halva and cheese. An entire sandwich worth would probably leave you catatonic.Nairn
