I think it depends how much butter you use and how often you take it out to stir.

My girlfriend tends to make scrambled eggs in the microwave and they're nowhere near as nice as doing them on the hob. She also cooks most vegetables in the microwave rather than boiling or steaming them.

>A tormented mum claims she was attacked by a "sexually charged" ghost for two hellish years - before the birth of her daughter banished it for good.

>Charlene Smith, from Harlow, Essex, says she was first awoken by the deviant spirit touching her intimately and initially mistook it for her partner. However, over the coming months the mum-of-six says the spectre continued to attack her, forcing her to desperately turn to ghostbusters, mediums and even a priest to no avail.

I'm so confused.

I wish I had a sexually charged ghost. So long as it doesn't start slamming doors and leaving all the lights on.

Thanks, professor. I look forward to your next paper.

She's read this thread and is doing this on purpose.

She looks like Jessica Hynes.

Does Jessica Hynes have a willy? If not, would she like one?

They can put a hat on.

All that hard work will keep them warm.

They're not really suppliers though. They're just companies set up as a bonkers scheme to create an illusion of competition by having a fuckload of middlemen buying energy off real suppliers and selling it onto consumers. The big suppliers are in no real danger in the short term.

Where the fuck is Lembit Opik wih his Big Dick Energy Company?

Cheers for that, I've downloaded a ton of games including this one I enjoyed as a kid.

This thing really is pretty cool, the screen is WAY better quality than I expected. Its far brighter and crisper than anticipated, and the form factor is very comfortable.

>>25223
I suppose that's what I get for trying to use this website on this newfangled device called a phone.

>>25223
The screen is really the cherry on top of the PSP. That's why I had said PoPoLoCrois was the best complement for the device, its graphics are just high-end pixel art that play towards the size and density of the screen, where a lot of other games at the time were pushing too hard with 3D that the hardware couldn't handle.

Honourable mention for the screen (and browser) being a great way for 17-year-old me to watch porn.

What's the battery life on a PSP these days?

I was eyeing up the current crop of portable gaming pc type things, but they're a lot of money for what I know would almost certainly end up as me just playing an hour or so of Crash Bandicoot on a quiet night shift.

>>25226
About 5 hours or so, but you can also buy modded power banks which give a lot more. A cheapy chinese one on amazon has users reporting 7 ish hours. Which is honestly about the same as a Switch if not better.

Other relevant metrics are BKT and MOP.

Depends - if you're already long CRT or FRK then everything is probably good for the next seven days. Othewise you should pull-out/sell.

>>8967
That's a strategy that requires giving it everything you've got to pull off.

It does - but as long as your house is in order, and you're very long HOE, then everything should be okay.

Leonardo Dicaprio just invested in Mosa Meat: https://mosameat.com/blog/leonardo-dicaprio-invests-in-mosa-meat.

As far as I know then the only way to get exposure to this sector is via Jim Mellon's Agronomics fund. It looks expensive -- 15% of any increase in NAV goes straight into Mellon's pocket (and that NAV comes from hard-to-value tiny private companies), but this is a hot area and unless you are a millionaire then you have no alternative.

I put £5k in a few weeks ago after listing to the Mellon interview on the Moneyweek podcast and then reading his "Moos Law". It is up 36% since then but I expect it to be more of a rollercoaster ride that a smooth trip to the moon.

It is far more interesting than my Temple Bar Investment Trust holding, which seems to be suffering from Long COVID - it has still not recovered to its pre March 2020 high.

SkyrimVRLad here. Started playing Oblivion but I'm really starting to lose my patience for it. Even with mods to improve the user experience it feels like it was designed to frustrate the player at every step, combined with the Todd Howard Patented Glitches.

For example, the mouse isn't accelerated in menus, and unlike Fallout 3 which came ~2 years later on the same engine, there's no way to use your keyboard to navigate the menus. I've got a mod which introduces controller support which makes the menus navigable without getting carpal tunnel, but sometimes the menus don't pick up the controller and aiming with it is nigh-on impossible so I have to keep switching between the two.

If you go cave exploring and don't come out after about 0.1 seconds, you get the "your horse has returned to Leyawiiiiin stables" message, so what's the fucking point in having one if you have to fast travel to pick it up every time you get off it? It controls like fucking shit anyway so whatever.

>>25200

Oblivion is a very marmite game. It hasn't aged well at all, and even if you install enough mods to bring it up to a modern standard it's still a buggy mess. Far more unstable than even something like Stalker, and the process of adding content to it only leaves it less stable. Modding tools like Wrye Bash are arcane wizardry I still don't fully understand and getting it stable is a royal pain in the arse.

But for me it has a similar appeal to Stalker. It has this cozy type of alluring character which may or may not just be nostalgia. I'd like to think not, I played Morrowind when I was a kid and I don't feel as much nostalgia for it, it just feels old to me; with Oblivion I was in my late teens but I still feel strangely fond of it. The environment is picturesque, the music is soothing, the fundamental gaemplay loop is satisfying.

I guess the problem and the strength with Oblivion is that it's the raw, barebones template every subsequent Bethesda game has been built on. If you squint hard enough in Fallout 4 you can still see the skeleton of Oblivion underneath.

More or less, yes. Except real. And somehow not either disturbingly uncanny-valley, or offputtingly similar to a real life animal. I know genies are shady motherfuckers when you make a wish like this.

So as you can see, your dream of porking a BBW pornstar is considerably more achievable.

>>42272
That's amusing.

Good thread, m8.

>>5351
Sorry, i misread your posts. Yeah, that does sound odd. Maybe the elevation of the ground is slightly uneven which causes a hand to dip or twist - i don't know, i'm drawing at straws. Perhaps you could blind test the experiment - call over a friend or two to perform the same actions and see what result they get - be extremely careful in what you tell them before hand - you simply cannot even allude the the answer you're looking for (to be honest a great length of turned over earth will probably be enough to bias their results).

Suggestibility has a lot to do with this sort of thing - are you particularly gulible?

At the end of the day it's the night - you'll just have to study yourself to find an answer. The best way I've found is to consider what answer you want, then go the opposite direction. Though this may be why i'm so confused and doubtful of myself.

>>5351
Dowsing does not work under controlled conditions. And you personally would have to go to extremes to get your conditions controlled, as >>5351 implies, so it's not worth it. Just put it down to your unconcious mind and move on.

>>5351
Do it 100 times and come back. Dowsing is pseudoscience and I'm genuinely surprised that there are some people here who seem to have taken it at face value. I'm looking forward to the oncoming thread about chiropractic and then we can go talk about flat earth in the weekday thread.

If dowsing really worked, it would be a lot more popular, because it would be a lot more marketable. A multitude of reasons as to why this could be coincidence, bias, or whatnot have been presented.

Of course you could have your cake and eat it by acknowledging that it's bollocks, but say that you enjoy doing it as a reflective experience.

>>5350
I have that book, it is very interesting. Can also recommend.

>>5353 Just put it down to your unconcious mind and move on.
Nope. I want to record, in excruciating detail, the exact moment my monkey brain does this thing. Gaze tracking, SQUIDs clamped to my brain to see what I'm thinking, hands and dowsing rods instrumented better than a post-Challenger shuttle launch.
And you can't stop me. Well, apart from the SQUIDs.

What did all the supporters of banned opposition do? Did they vote for other parties, or boycott the election completely? Because 50% of the vote is either acceptably decent or a guaranteed failure if elections were fair, depending on whether it's 50% of everyone or 50% of just the people who were allowed in.

>>35345
Putin's own party got 50%, but at least another 30% went to controlled opposition. Turnout was significantly lower than previous elections so the assumption is that the real opposition simply stayed home.

Also, the fraud this time was hilarious. They didn't even bother with the balloons. There are videos of people quite literally stuffing ballot boxes while polling staff just sit there and watch them do it.

>>35346

>Also, the fraud this time was hilarious.


Not much point giving them the benefit of doubt.

And those voting machines really are a marvel of technology.

I am Welsh. I disagree.

Speaking of which, some cretin has gotten themselves banned from 3 of the 4 Opera VPNs available to me. Please don't nuke the last one, .gs is one of my very few connections to the land of my fathers.

I got banned for a year for being a penis mutilator because I asked for advice about my second degree burns I got on my arm from getting something out of the oven. Please unban me, I've never mutilated my cock.

>>15882
Ok.

Even if it was cock abuse lad, I don't think he should be banned during a medical emergency. As an imageboard we ought to be judged by how we treat how most completely bonkers users.

I'm on my swan flight and I think I'll quit soon. I topped out at £227,000 (paying nearly £88,000 in tax, you can thank me later) even though most of that is in shares. Work has turned into just another bean counter hell hole, and readin gsome recent feedbck other people are apparently on-board with throwing personal responsibility over board and sucking dear corporate leader's cock. I know that makes it sound like I'm the problem, and I probably am, but this cult like hero worship is rubbing me really the wrong way.

In that case, you might want to reconsider, since Continuity IRA came second-last on the initiative roll this year.

I really enjoy painting individual models but despite liking repetition (autism firmly checked) I don't get much out of re-painting the same mini over and over. Practice makes perfect, so some repetition to learn painting techniques is helpful but I could never play 'Nids for example. I should mention that I'm more of a board game person that likes painting minis than a TTG player. Battle Masters, Heroic Quest or Space Hulk for example, though I've dabbled in Infinity and by rule-of-cool bought minis for other games with limited units to paint.

I love the 40k lore, Eisenhorn is my bible, but these days I'd rather learn something new I didn't know about painting than doing more identical units.

>>25209
Bite the bullet and run a rainbow army where every model is painted in different colours

>>25210
I refuse. I like the idea, but I don't want to face an army against a try hard when I really just want to have a fun time for an hour or three. It's like having a pint with a friend v.s. the weird guy who wants to have a downing contest. Missing the point and not really welcome.

>>25209

New edition of Kill Team just came out and this time it actually seems to be good, not just potentially good but let down by some illogical shit.

I wish Kill Team had already been a thing a year or two earlier, because then I wouldn't have got invested in two massive armies, I'd have just had a team for lots of different factions.

Still the repetition has made me into a good painter I suppose. It's just a shame that it's also made me slightly weary of actually painting.

I caught some of the Emmys last night. Surely nominating The Mandalorian for an award for "outstanding casting" is just trolling? Disney spent the entirety of the airing period of the last season publicly distancing themselves from Gina Carano for being a Trump loonie, but pretending it was for anything other than her being a Trump loonie.

>>446323

>>446323
Space Bostonian was great, Boba Fett was good and Meth Chicken has good pathos.

>Disney spent the entirety of the airing period of the last season publicly distancing themselves from Gina Carano for being a Trump loonie, but pretending it was for anything other than her being a Trump loonie.

I know it's the Emmys but there's no reason to be a faggot about it.

We had a similar thing last year near my work; a full procession of cars honking their horns, and teenagers on quadbikes, for nearly an hour, all driving past to mourn the passing of some similarly lovable rogues, and those weren't even gypsies as far as I know.

A significant decrease in burglaries in most Leinster counties is being attributed by senior gardaí to the deaths of three prolific criminals as well as a number of arrest operations.

The deaths of Tallaght criminals Graham Taylor (31), Karl Freeman (26) and Dean Maguire (29) made international headlines after the car they were travelling in collided head-on with a lorry as it drove the wrong way down the N7 near Rathcoole on the night of July 7. The three criminals who had over 200 previous convictions between them were main players in a gang who used the motorway network to carry out burglaries in rural areas.

Figures obtained by the Herald suggest there has been a major drop in this type of crime over recent weeks in most of the garda divisions where they were most active.

https://sundayworld.com/crime/irish-crime/decrease-in-leinster-burglaries-attributed-by-gardai-to-deaths-of-three-criminals-in-n7-crash-40858796.html

Proof, if it was needed, that society is so much better off when you remove the small number of habitual criminals.

>>35331

Yes but how do you remove them when the police are working for them?

Not to be confused with the notorious B-Road Gang who terrorised rural homes in Wiltshire during the early 1980s.

NHS m8. Get yourself a job as a bottom bitch lab assistant or pharmacy technician, your qualification will enable you to actually progress from there (potentially with taking additional modules/certificaations etc).

>>14046
It's probably still worth trying the networking thing. Don't ask the people you know, but if you can find someone you don't know but who went to the same...house? College? as you, you can just talk about that during the interview and let them assume you were one of the gang. LinkedIn probably has lots of this information listed.

>>14047

Teaching is also an option, if that appeals. Chemistry graduates can claim a bursary of £24,000 to train as a teacher.

Teaching is definitely a possbility. With an ever-increasing gap on his CV, OP will struggle to land a private-sector job worthy of his formal education, but all is not lost if he's still in his mid-20s.

In the mean time, I would go on the lookout for any job at all that gets you out of the house every day and gets you at least a few hundred quid a month. Two years is a long time to not be doing much of anything. It's not just two years of non-existing job experience, but possible employers will also be skeptical if you can just hit the ground running and get back into an everyday work routine from one day to the next.

There are jobs that can ease you back into a daily routine. You could do part-time work delivering food, or some low-level customer phone support. You don't have to work in a warehouse or supermarket.

There's a whole world of civil service jobs out there with an application process designed to cut out connections. If I remember right sifters and interviewers don't actually see your job history either because they certainly hired me with a year gap. Apply for HEO and at a push SEO unless you have management experience. Pay is shit but you can get a nice/work life balance in a very secure job that looks good on your CV if you ever want to escape, plus you're not selling rubbish to people all day.

If anything the problem we have is that not enough people apply and of those they seem unable to provide answers to the competencies so posts just go unfilled. I don't think it would be wrong if you asked for advice on competencies if you need it. Saged ticked because I don't know if I should be recruiting arse-pissers.
