The tee-shirt would be more Chasian if you replaced ‘TARIFFS’ with ‘BOOMERS’.

He did have an unhealthy obsession with boomers. I guess it made a change from people thinking immigrants were to blame for everything (by people I mean some of the public, not forum members). In Chasey world it was the elderly!

Being the middle-class git that I am, I'm in the habit of making a very basic vinaigrette dressing using just olive oil, balsamic vinegar and whole-grain mustard.

I've got two different sorts of mustard, one of which makes the dressing thicken a lot, even when further diluted two or three times with oil.

Which one do you think thickens the dressing?

Guess the one on the left. The potassium salt is hygroscopic (although id guess there's not much of it in there) and the only other difference is the explicit disclosure that there are seed husks present. Google tells me this is packed with soluble fibre so I'm guessing this results in a bit of gellation?

Ha, you knew this was for you. I would have guessed the same, but we're both wrong. It's a bit disappointing, as I wanted it to be one of the less wholesome ingredients that was doing sumfink odd.

I wish that news sites wouldn't write headlines about tragic events that make me laugh at the framing of the headline.

I'm guessing that they thought that 274 - 242 = "28 killed on the ground" either didn't sound dramatic enough or too arithmetica, so went for their terrible headline.

On the plus side, at least they went for the accurate "killed" rather than some euphemism.

Its actually 32. I suppose 32 does fit the description of dozens.
But in my head dozens means 50-80.
