@InspectorCaracal we use the easy cook stuff, you can probably find it in your supermarket somewhere

@InspectorCaracal small possible improvement to the rice cooking method on your blog:

for long grain rice, get a pot of boiling salted water, throw in the rice, bring it back up to boiling, then turn off the heat, put a lid on it, and just wait for 10 minutes

check it's the right texture at the end, if it's not ready just leave it in there for a bit longer, drain, serve

don't even have to keep an eye on it

I've had this for about a week now after a long time of saving up and quite a while of waiting to get my tentacles on it

This is the Sinn 556 I MoP S, it's one of Sinn's entry level models but it really is excessively nice

Fit and finish is excellent, the movement is running well within COSC standards, and the dial is fucking stunning whenever it catches the light

Any pictures I take just don't do it justice, it's just beautiful

@maple what if robot girls?

@noelle "wannabe" is a song about polyamory

Seriously, "if you wanna be my lover you gotta get with my friends"?

ENGLAND: literally the only country where, when given large amounts of opiates, we think to ourselves "let's trade all this for tea"

I personally think that the Ladies' Watch prize should have gone to Moritz Grossman, Men's Watch to Vacheron Constantin, Men's Complication to H. Moser et Cie., Jewellery Watch to Bvlgari, and Artistic Crafts to Vacheron Constantin but I'm not on the judging panel

@Jo that and the sheer disappointment of not having enough wine when you could have sworn you picked up a proper bottle

@Jo they're 2/3rds the size of proper bottles, so if you pick one up thinking "oh, that's a decent price for a bottle" then you'll be sorely disappointed that you only get 2 glasses out of it

Keep an eye out when you're in Tesco, they've started selling 50cl bottles of wine with verrry small labels saying they're not proper wine bottle size, you might get caught out if you're not careful

@Jo nothing they release can possibly match up to the mental image of Geralt fronting a death metal band I have in my head right now

@minego that as well, yes

If you're operating a car, don't tailgate the car in front like a bastard

Thus spake the octopus

@frinkeldoodle oh yeah, definitely

@frinkeldoodle oh no, that's what the after dinner ones are called

@frinkeldoodle surely fed talks are just ted talks scheduled for after lunch

@natalie@masto.ninja imagine giving a speech in front of all the media with a bunch of microphones pointed at you but instead of mic stands it's just me holding all of them
