I grew up there in the sixties. Regular ingredients came from the local market (this was before supermarkets) who typically sold regionally grown produce. We supplemented with home and allotment grown vegetables which were shared around the neighborhood. The food was great. Tinned food was quite expensive and generally considered an unhealthy novelty best used on camping trips - I'm looking at you fray bentos, you and your weird deliciousness.

if it's for construction use, Bonsai is an incredibly powerful BIM solution that can also output 2D. Bonsai is probably the most complete IFC compliant (and native) system available.

can you still get the fabulous Marmite Twiglets in the UK? I live in SE Asia now, and marmite spare ribs are widely available and absolutely delicious, and cheap, so all good.

why even fly? Just jump up high in San Francisco, and wait for the earth to revolve beneath you before coming back down and landing in Houston. Houston, no problem.

Blender should be on there as an alternative to many Autodesk and Adobe products

In 1998 i was part of a project team that included the Met Police's IT R&D team. Those guys had a novel facial recognition system then, that was trialled in Clarendon Road in Watford. The results were not good, but the reason for canning it was that the civil liberties groups were going nuts and threatening mayhem. I cannot believe that 26 years later they haven't already implemented it and been using it for some time.

To stay alive we must eat. Generally, to optimise our life span we should eat healthy, nutritious food. The current regime doesn't appear to be benefitting suppliers or consumers. The current regime appears to be skewing land prices with detriment to other uses of the land - housing affordability. Fundamental reform is needed. Kudos to those attempting reform. I hope we get a good solution for all.

Not an accountant, but i guess the funeral ceremony for the previous head of state - no political involvement - cost about the same. Thus swapping one non-political head of state for another cost in the region of 150mil. That seems rather a lot for someone to carry out a purely ceremonial role. Am i missing anything?

 

“There are still so many things we don’t know about [a milky sea] beyond that it must be caused by bacteria,” says Steven Haddock, a marine biologist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Moss Landing, Calif., who collaborates with Hudson on milky seas research. “What are the substrates that fuel the growth of these massive numbers of bacteria, and what are the environmental factors that keep them from getting diluted into the water column?”
