That seems like squid ink. I can see from a quick wikipedia skim that he studied greylag geese and jackdaws and I confess I'm not very well read on the behaviour of greylag geese and jackdaws, however it's very well observed, known and understood that in primates such as chimpanzees and...

That's not even close to true, in group and out group distinctions within a species are very clear in the animal kingdom and extreme aggression between them commonplace.

That doesn't mean it's meant to be like that. Where the arrow is looks like the gap between the fixed channel and pivoting bit. Clearly water is going to go down there. If you silicone all the way round both sides then the water exit whichever side is the path of least resistance. That's why...

Why do you want the silicone bead to go all the way around anyway? Shower screens/frames are usually supposed to be left unsealed on the inside so that any water/condensation can run out into the tub

Could you expand on this a bit please for someone who is looking at getting his roof redone? What is considered high quality membrane and what is low quality?

So edgy, so counter-cultural!

Reply from DEFRA, bold emphasis mine. OK so end of the year apparently. We'll see.

I emailled my local council again to ask for an update, the reply: So it's already being rowed back a bit. Depending on how you look at it, 2 x 50L bags 4 times in 4 weeks could be interpreted as lowering the allowance compared to the existing 1 bag per visit (with no limit on visits). No...

Just mix up an extra bit of tile adhesive (assuming you're using powder/cement based) and pad it out with that.

I see this rhetorical framing a lot. 'Whether or not it's going to happen is not the question - you have no choice, it's just a cosmic force like the tides and they're going to flood into your country, all you can do is decide is how you're going to accommodate them once they're here'

Of course, but brazenly wandering into Target/CVS/Footlocker (US chains) and openly taking large amounts of high value discretionary/luxury items is a bit different to junkies shoving munchies up their jumper.

Twitter / X is awash with videos from California where shoplifters, either alone or in groups, brazenly fill bags with goods from the shelves and walk out unimpeded while the employees look on. This is due to police not responding to shoplifting under the value of $950 and for chain stores it's...

Hi, the previous owners of my house for whatever reason had 3 separate overhead lines to the house for a various telephone points. Since we moved in 8 years ago we haven't had a landline and don't intend to get one. These redundant lines are attached to the bargeboards which need replacing...

Is this still a thing? I thought all the subsidies were basically over now?

Ours takes engine oil no problem and they have a bin for the contaminated 5L containers once you've emptied them into the big IBC. Last time I took a load of used filters as well, the bloke said to me 'we can't take those, you'll have to put them in your wheelie bin' Make it make sense!

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere - I did search multiple ways and drew a blank. A bit surprising considering the nature of the forum but hey-ho. Anyway.... My local tip/Household Waste Recycling Centre charges for DIY waste - ceramics and rubble first bag is free, then charged...

Not necessarily, non-religious male circumcision was the norm in the US (and still is, albeit perhaps to a lesser degree) and I assume in Canada too.

Funny you mention Dr. Money. Very influential character and one who anyone who hasn't read up on him and his most famous patients, David and Brian Reimer, really should. https://www.simplypsychology.org/david-reimer.html...

This bit from the BBC article got me most. Jacob died "in his cot, alone" on 30 December 2020 at home near Swadlincote, Derbyshire, having suffered a "living hell". RIP little fella.
