Altho walking down the middle of main roads with no one round listening to Explosions in the Sky was like 28 Days Later or Walking Dead

Listening to tunes such as EITS in surreal situations like that can be shit cool!

Going by the radar it looks like Dublin will be getting it hard in the next 2-3 hours.

What the feck is going to happen when all this snow melts ? Trade in the snowmobiles for boats imo.

Funny how all this weather talk can be mistaken for web cam porn chat. So many people claiming 8 inches, when it's only 6. And others confusing centimeters with inches

Great darts !

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/12/21/china-still-making-soy-sauce-from-human-hair/

WTF?!

The latest China quality merchandise to be the cause of scandal is soy sauce made from human hair.
Chinese newspapers have been reporting with disgust that the manager of a Shandong province food company has admitted that “In small scale factories we have been making soy sauce out of human hair as a cost control measure.”
A worker familiar with the practice explains:
“Soy sauce is made by fermentation, but at small scale places they skip the fermentation and use amino acids extracted from human hair as part of the process instead. There are villages where they collect human hair for this.”
He goes on:
“I was working at a factory in Hebei province before – there they added salt and amino acids to caramel coloured water, and mixed it all with dirty water to make soy sauce. At the place where they extracted the amino acids they had lots of human hair and animal fur stored, it was quite sickening.
They also made vinegar by adding acetic acid to caramel coloured water. The village had any number of places making soy sauce, but the villagers there would only ever buy vinegar and soy sauce from famous brands.”
Soy sauce is normally made by fermenting soy beans. A more modern low-cost method (which tastes quite different and has been found to introduce carcinogens) utilises acid-hydrolyzed vegetable proteins to skip the lengthy fermentation process entirely – it is likely a variation of this process is being described here.
Another worker explains similar shortcuts being used to make vinegar (which is also normally the product of fermentation):
“At small factories making vinegar they would take pure acetic acid [a highly corrosive acid normally used in industrial applications] and just add it to water to make the vinegar.
At the decent places they would use food-quality acid intended for this purpose, but at the more unscrupulous outfits they would just use [highly impure] industrial grade acetic acid instead.”
Although such claims might ordinarily attract scepticism, as the practice of making cooking oil out of sewage is already well documented, these claims sadly take on an air of depressing credibility – in fact soy sauce made from hair and fur has been reported since at least 2004, and evidently no progress has been made in stamping out the practice.

Doubt there would be a difference apart from giving yourself more work to do opening/closing.

Hi all,

Just to confirm, the game is down for everyone.

All running tournaments and sngs will be cancelled and players will be refunded according to rule #31 at http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/tourRules.php

All ring game hands in progress will be rolled back as if they never happened.

If, when we come back up, you think either of those things didn't happen correctly, please contact support and they will look into the situation for you.

I don't have an estimate right now when the game will be back up, but it's being worked on as quickly as possible.

Apologies for the downtime.

Anyone have the Amazon Kindle app on Android? I have it and have a load of Kindle books on my device but I can't figure out how to add them to the app, it still shows only the three books it came with by default, I can't figure out how to look for more. Am I missing something really obvious...?

[tylerdurden94]

so kitchen sink is blocked/not draining, emptied everything out from under, undid ubend to unblock it, cleaned it out, water still isnt draining from sink. could waste pipe be frozen outside?

Same thing happened to mine earlier.

Waterford currently remains a snow free zone in this 'phase 2' of badness, thankfully.
Unfortunately my families destination for christmas is up in the hills of north Cork and is currently under a foot of snow.

Our traditional family christmas is under serious threat for the second year on the bounce.

I used to be a big fan of the gulf stream, now it's increasing failings are starting to piss me off.

just the books that i got from amazon came up on mine automatically. dunno if you can sync it with the content on your kindle. can't see any option for it anyway.

Bus or train is always a toughie for me in this weather.

Bus - outside office in Leeson Street to outside front door in D15.
Liable to be fucked in snowy traffic.

Train, 15 min walk to Pearse Station, 35 minute walk from Castleknock to home, but timetable can be fucked in this weather as well.

6.15 left office, walked to Pearse, no show of 6.30 train, as 7 approached no mention of 7.00 train on noticeboard. Then louderspeak announcement in Esperanto that we should hop on dart to Connolly where Maynooth train would be waiting for us. Hop off at Castleknock 7.40, 100 yards out of station manage to hop on a 38 which brings me home in a slow and sludgy 20 minutes.

I was the only passenger so got yapping to the driver, and couldn't resist asking him what time he had left town at just to see if my decision to get the train was the winner. His reply was that the fact the bus was empty might be the clue, everyone had got off and walked - he'd left Baggot St at 4.15, O'Connell Street at 5.00 and got to Castleknock for 7.45. Result.

Decent little conspiracy theory on youtube that BPs messing about with sonar stuff to cap the oil leak has shifted/reduced the Gulf Stream.
