I eat, read and love Taylor. No, even more than that.

Jon was the kind of man that when a random woman walks into their shop and says sthg along the lines of “I really love books and your shop: can I work here?”, he wld just say….Ok.
Kind, patient, really fucking random and erudite. The exact bookseller you need.

Earlier this year, Family Mart rolled out these teary-eyed stickers to combat food loss. They worked so well now they’re giving them out for free.

ULPT I need a way to move 13 2000lbs pallets of margarine side to side and then down into a 6ft hole and then cover it with dirt
It must be quiet and fast. I'm not opposed to renting heavy machinery but they must be quiet and able to be operated in low light conditions. For the record, I don't think there's anything unethical about this, but it was recommended I post here and I'm desperate.
The margarine cannot be harmed, no melting or changing its shape of any kind. Afterwards, I will dig it up and whatever is left I will need to either dissolve in some kind of acid or burn it someway that has little clean up. Thank you.

What might happen to someone if they were to consume say, 3lbs of margarine every day for a month?
Just have some extra margarine lying around that I'm hoping to put to good use. If not 3lbs, how much could I eat a day and still be okay? Thank you.

r/NoStupidQuestions 1d
Are there any chemicals that will dissolve margarine with very little cleanup?

Are there any chemicals that would dissolve margarine without a trace?
r/NoStupidQuestions 1d
Curious about the ramifications of keeping large pallets of margarine underground for extended periods of time?
If I were to put a few large pallets of margarine underground (stored in cardboard boxes in plastic wraps) would it melt?
Would the temperature be sufficient to maintain the solid state of margarine? I'm thinking about 6ft deep. Thank you.
r/askanything 1d
Looking for a method to transport a 2000lbs pallet of margarine into 6ft deep holes and cover them?
Must be done in low light scenarios and quietly. Hoping to do this myself. I'm hesitant to rent heavy equipment as it may be too loud.

r/ask 1d
What is the easiest way to slide a 2000lbs pallet of margarine into holes an inch wider on each side and approximately 6ft down?
It will need to be done in low light areas, preferably without any hired help. I'm trying to keep it as quiet and as fast as possible.
Thank you

r/heavyequipment 1d
Looking for a machine I can rent to slide 13 pallets of margarine (~2000lbs) from side to side multiple times quietly.

Berwick Bank could kill more birds than any other windfarm on Earth, devastating colonies of Gannets, Puffins and Kittiwakes off Scotland’s coast. 🚨

We support renewables, but not at catastrophic cost to seabirds already in crisis.

Coates is Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social · 17h

Did you know, it’s 30 years to the day since the Financial Times killed one of Britain’s finest poets? They didn’t mean to. It’s just that Gavin Ewart was 79, and – according to legend – the day before they’d bought him a lunch that involved enough booze to fell an ox 🧵

The menus were not printed until 2003, so we cannot be sure of the all-time record for the most expensive lunch. It may have been achieved when Spivey met the 79-year-old poet Gavin Ewart at the Café Royal in October 1995. The exact cost is lost somewhere in the bowels of the FT accounts department. But the bill was somewhat overshadowed by the aftermath.

The main item on the agenda was alcohol, not food. Ewart began with several negronis (gin, vermouth, Campari), which is not an amateur’s drink, and carried on from there. “We departed the Café Royal in a moderately straight line,” Spivey said in the article. He put Ewart on a bus home then lurched off himself. The following day he received a call from Mrs Ewart.

“There are two things you need to know,” she said. “The first is that Gavin came home yesterday happier than I have seen him in a long time. The second – and you are not to feel bad about this – is that he died this morning.”

I would personally take it upon myself to invent ice cream. And then have a go at antibiotics. Bcs why not? I’ll have metal.

It’s exactly as if they’ve decided we’re no longer human. More and more, I long for the Iron Age. Pre-Roman invasion. Bronze Age, maybe. W a hint of iron.

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."

I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral

The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.
