I absolutely do not want to be a moderator ever again, last time I deleted someone's account after they logged in for the first time and opened a thread saying hello

I would be interested in seeing a similar test between different chinese manufacturers, I bet we would see an amazing difference between makers. From that sample it looks like China is trying to solve their trash problem by exporting it hidden inside engines

The distance mustn't be easy if what ails Allie is so painful. Hope it goes well.

Omelette made with fresh farm eggs, with onions and mushroom filling, served with raw spinach

Two questions: What are bobble-hats? police? What is fly tipping?

a couple of them still carry on, portuguese car stuff, I simply moved on and lost interest but they did carry on. The others were also Pete's from back when, can't really say why but to me they just (over time) turned into a battleground of repetitive inside jokes

I, for one, think we are headed in the same direction as before in forums from a few years ago. All threads are fusing into the same conversation, with the same jokes and banter regardless of topic. Makes a real mess of it when you show up and see all threads discussing the same things, I've had two people comment this to me, take it as you will. In my small experience of different forums, only 4 or 5, this is the most clicky ever as even welcome threads turn into inside jokes in a few posts. Consider how many members register, and how many post a single "hello" and introduce themselves.

Take 1 or 2 thousand km off your recommended oil change regimen to make you happy, but the engine is fine enough with that. Good quality is good enough, you and me aren't hard on engines.

There might be a troll or two, or three, but there are no keyboard warriors here I think

Ok, there’s no meeting!

The meeting might be over the phone

Thursday I will have a meeting somewhere nice for taking the bike.

Today’s pesto, no pine nuts at home so made with pecan nuts, supermarket parmesan instead of pecorino, but pulled it off using a healthy amount of garlic and some freshly ground pepper Washing it down now with some chilled white wine sitting outside

I loved solo rides before, and will continue to. No better way to travel a distance and get lost in your own mind.

Portugal just stopped it too, on hour ago or whatever time it was when I was starting my nice bottle of red wine. Which is a shame, because the current index of vaccine related problems / covid death rate with the same age population gives the vaccine use a huge advantage. I expect some other pharmaceutical company has just made a better lobby effort in some key european decision leading countries and now we're all following like sheep with no proper evidence to back our decisions. It's 90% politics(economic lobbying) / 10% healthcare

I had fish and chips in a pub in London once, not greasy at all and I really liked it.

I was only in charge of the toppings, home made pizzas

Pea curry and fried eggs:

As an entree, do you need more than some delicious wine, some cheese and dried meat? Yes, Sofia's grilled aubergine and pepper dip, most delicious ever dipping sauce:

Mushrooms sautéed in garlic, creamed spinach, sautéed zucchini and Sofia's tomato and pea rice.

Oven roasted vegetables and rice. White basmati rice cooked with fresh mint, mushroom omelette, and spinach and soy marinated onion salad: Entree, toast with olive oil, melted sheep's cheese and the rest of the salad, I liked it a lot: Portobello mushrooms, cooked with olive oil and garlic, and white basmati with mint

Aubergine lasagna is the best way to describe this, it's a mushroom ragu as tomato sauce, sauteed or fried aubergine instead of pasta, and a ricotta / mozzarella mix as white sauce, and parmesan on top before the oven: and after, it was very nice:

I like it too, even though it's closed you can look into the distance if standing up so it doesn't feel claustrophobic. I would rather have something completely open like I do at my place, but that is really not nice with so many people on the street like here.

She doesn't mean you, surely a mistake. You never try to intimidate or show off at all.

It's too small a space, with too high a population density outside to have any privacy without walls. On the picture, the left wall is a garage on the other side, the right one has the neighbour's garden on the other side and is about as tall as my eyes or a little taller, so not that high and you can easily jump it. Still, this house has been broken into twice and both times climbing over the tallest side.
