Demonised, tortured, extirpated - is it time to bring the wolf back?
  • Yes, bring them back. Also going to face opposition from the 'hunting, shooting, fishing' crowd as well. Because the wolves may eat some of the animals they were going to kill for sport.

  • Hydro-Quebec plans to charge higher rates for large homes that use 'excessive' amount of electricity
  • Good. Some people think they can leave lights and stuff on all day, because they have more money than sense.

  • Holy cow!

    That's even better than I thought. Even prouder of her now.

    Thank you

  • I can remember when North Korea being a nuclear power was 'fantasy' and 'it'll never happen'. Despite all our sanctions, they've still managed to develop nukes. Thanks to Russia, China and Iran. And we day back and watched because we wanted that cheap oil and gas and the plastic tat from China.

    how's your week going, Beehaw
  • Not bad - chuffed to bits that my daughter got a 'First with honours' in English and Creative Writing. No idea what that means* apart from it's an excellent result.

    *I left school at 15, before taking all my exams so that I could start work in a factory. So very proud of her ;-) Her substack is here

  • Tomorrow take my wife shopping for her birthday present, laundry, and then on Sunday, a quiet lunchtime drink with family.

  • EDIT: Also check if you legally can physically eliminate the drone in that case. It’s the most effective strategy.

    Just tell the police you were clay pigeon shooting and the drone flew into your path.

  • Unsure where to post but does anyone else think beehaw is s little too closed off?
  • No. I'm jacked off with all the crap that comes from Lemmy and the sooner that Beehaw drops Lemmy the better. So many bots and trolls there. If you're not a flag waving Hamas apologist you're a Trumper. It's a cesspit.

  • Nigel Farage’s Reform party overtakes Tories for first time in new YouGov poll
  • We may sneer at 'Good old Nige' but he's getting airtime and people are going to vote for him and his party, however cack we think are.

    Now that may hurt the tories, which is all well and good, but if they keep getting publicity and what have you it's going to draw away votes from more deserving candidates.

    Also hilarious as it was, we should not be condoning throwing of objects etc. at politicians, however much we dislike them. That's a slippery slope and could lead to some serious injuries. What appens when somebody decides it's funny and will get laughs on Tik Tok to throw acid or bleach? Or a glass bottle full of piss?

    We've seen what his 'patriotic' supporters are like and we don't need more of them.

    How do I make my bread really dark?

    Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

    Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

    Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

    Any ideas?

    TIA

    Well, this is inconvenient.

    Won't be doing any laundry just yet then.

    Supercat!

    This was my wife’s new throw/ blanket thing. Daisy never used to get on the sofa. But now if the throw isn’t there, she’ll sit and look until one of us cracks.

    It's taken two years

    She loves these throws. And as long as I keep my ankles crossed and legs still, she'll stay.

    Must admit I choked up a bit as our last two would never do this.
