Down here in Tassie we seem pretty well stocked for water as well. My family will likely be reining in our showers once it stops raining and the tanks are no longer covering our needs though. Right now the more we use the less strain it puts on our storm water drains. We might lean on the landlord to upgrade to a solar hot water system at some stage so our showers are closer to genuinely free.

Hopefully this doesnt make me sound too ignorant, but I find Indian food hits different to hot sauce. With Hot Sauce you are trying to condense down all the different elements into a single substance its why it works so well on fairly bland chicken or with chips etc. Indian cuisine is like a palate of different flavours, so instead of having to build sour notes in they can have pickles, for sweetness take some chutney or a Raita or Lassi. Means I can handle a subjectively hotter curry than hot sauce.

That's probably a dumb take but I find that to be the case, and the larger the group the greater variety of extras can be justified and shared which makes the whole thing even better. At a 4/10 WBS (white boy scale) I get a bit of colour, at a 6/10 WBS I would be fairly rosy and have some sweat going, at 9/10 WBS I am beet red and the sweat is flowing (and I will probably pay for it the next day).

I had the pleasure of attending a Nepali wedding a few years back and I found all the food on offer there very manageable. Also went to a neighbourhood BBQ where a group of lovely Chinese ladies from Heilongjiang had prepared some dishes from their home. When I mentioned the flavour was great but it felt like it was.lacking in heat I got an immediate invitation to her house (which I sadly never took up due to life being busy) so she could make my wife and I the version that's not been "Australianised" by removing most of the heat.

Anyway all of that is a very roundabout way of saying that for someone as picky as I am about a lot of traditionally English foods, I am glad I can give other cuisines a crack.

The 9 out of 10 they serve people like me, it might have an equivalency for their authentic scale, I don't know. This is one of those places where when we go in for a meal there is a constant stream of people with much darker skin than us coming in to pick up takeaway and it was like that before Uber eats was in the area. Apparently it was really popular in the Malaysian student community, before our government decided to fuck over the education system to make a bunch of racists happy by limiting student visas.

Australian chiming in.

My favourite Indian restaurant was this little hole in the wall place (for the first three years of operation, they upgraded when the word got out). The first time I went I ordered a Vindaloo, the lovely waitress/chef that took my order asked how spicy. I was a fool and said, I like spicy food, how about a 6 out of 10. I actually made it 3/4 of the way through but the owner/other chef came out to check on me, I think because he was worried I was about to combust. It was astounding, easily the best Vindaloo I have ever eaten.

The next time I went in I ordered a white guy 4, it honestly was still fantastic, but not as good. The owner came out to say hi, asked what I had ordered this time, and he said "Ah yes we make that without any chilli.", never been sure how I should take that. For a while I was hoping to gradually increase my tolerance but I think I am topping out at white guy 9.

Doesn't matter how often these programs are shown to save lives there's always some conservative stroking his rock hard erection while he talks about taking these programs away and fantasises about the number of young people he is indirectly murdering.

I don't take drugs (well except ones purchased from a pharmacy) never touched anything harder than a bit of weed, but I have at least one friend who has a child that survived their teens thanks to pill testing.

What fucking ghouls.

I think the timeline got a bit fucky here too, shouldn't one side of the alleged paedophiles face be trying to hide in one of his jowls? Oh and someone applied the make up correctly so you can't see all the disgusting skin mottling?

0 out of 10, worse than The Last Jedi.

Ultima Underworld, Thief, System Shock and after a short pause they drop this. Amazing company.

You know I always love seeing the contrast between beautiful ebony skin and the gorgeous pink treasure inside. I find that its a lot easier to find photos and videos of white girls spreading their pussy. Is that just that white girls are over represented in porn, do I suck at looking for it, or are black girls just less inclined to pose like that do you think?

I miss Never mind the Buzzcocks. Can someone reach out to Noel Fielding for a comment on this news?

So glad I moved from a FTTP connected house to a Fixed Wireless serviced area. Not jealous at all.

Although I am setting higher than advertised download speeds, which I think may be due to having a 4th gen connection in an area where almost everyone I talk to is using 2nd gen and doesnt seem to understand why you would want to update.

I mean yeah, but the fact that serious drama in a scandi country was seen as transgressive humour in Australia, does that not prove my point.

9*18=420, yup sounds like the maths capability I would expect.

 

So I responded to a post by donaldjmusk@lemmy.today on conservative@lemmy.today (yeah yeah I know don't feed the troll, but sometimes you just feel the need to be perverse) where he kept making disingenuous points and for some reason was quoting small sections of my replies back into his.

Too late I realised he is a mod on that community and he had been curating his responses so he could ban me and delete my comments and mischaracterize the conversation. I am guessing that references to the sexual proclivities of his idol hurt his fefes. But still he could try arguing his side rather than do that crap.

So anyway just thought I would put the word out that this is the new fun tactic.

 

Beau Miles, an Australian adventurer and super optimist, is trying to plant a bunch of trees.

A lot of Beaus content is about the power of positivity and the environment, I would suggest he is worth a watch in general. Even better when he is trying to achieve something worthwhile.

Can Lemmy help?

Not sure how widely this little drama is known outside of Tassie. But this farce just keeps getting more ridiculous.

 

Episode 7 "GoldenEyes" is out.
