    Reverend Muhammadovsky replied to How many keys do you carry with you when you leave your home? :
    Usually three. Front door key, and the two keys that open the sliding glazed door at the rear. Besides these I own eight keys: car (x2), window (x2), window restrictor, bicycle lock, shed, and meter box.

    Reverend Muhammadovsky replied to "Mitigation efforts that have worked before ARE NOT WORKING with the new Delta variant virus". Are you unmasked/unvaccined STILL?:

Here in the UK, the Delta variant is now responsible for the majority of new cases, but it's been reported that most new cases admitted to hospital are in people who are old enough to have been given the vaccine but have rejected it. So if you live in a country that has a very high proportion of older and vulnerable people already double-jabbed, or vaccinated with a single shot of Moderna, you probably don't have a lot to worry about. I would be far more worried if the Brazil variant had taken hold. However, our government has taken a cautious approach in keeping mask mandates and social distancing in place for another month, which isn't going to be popular but I think is a small sacrifice that will allow us time to get a few more millions vaccinated.  less

I don't really know much about the benefits of antioxidants, so it's not something I would give much thought to. But it's generally reckoned that it's good to eat lots of vegetables and pulses, go easy on sugar and processed fats, and that foods prepared from scratch are generally healthier than those heavily processed or packaged.I don't often buy dried beans because even after soaking they take a long time to cook. It took well over an hour last time I prepared black beans from scratch. So I rarely have the patience. Mung beans are the exception as they only take 20 minutes max. I use dried lentils a lot more than beans. I think it is possible to get canned beans without added salt, but I don't usually read the small print on the labels.  less

At present the only alternatives are to use a locution like "the variant first identified in India" or to call it by its scientific name, B.1.617, so using Greek letters sounds like the perfect solution. Until we run out of letters. Then move on to Hebrew?  less

But if her purpose in quitting is to avoid an investigation, then I think that is very unethical. Back in the 1990s, there were a lot of historic cases of police corruption and "framing" being exposed in England, and it became a thing for detectives to take early retirement in order to avoid internal investigations and disciplinary procedures. Some people suggested at the time that if they did this they should forfeit their pensions.   less

I don't really like travelling abroad on my own, but I will do it if I have enough motivation. I have travelled to Iceland, southern France and Ireland on my own. I wouldn't say it was terrifying, the cultural and lifestyle differences aren't as big as, say, between the US and Mexico, the language barrier isn't an issue in Ireland, and not very much in the other two countries. But I always feel ill at ease travelling on my own for reasons I can't quite define or pin down, and the further away from home I am the more aware I am of being alone. Last year I researched the possibility of flying to southern India or Taiwan, but I've had to put that on hold for obvious reasons.

Some have cast doubt on the pangolin being the link because the coronavirus variant discovered in the pangolin isn't similar enough to the variant that infects humans. However, it is agreed that wet markets are a serious health risk, giving viruses the opportunity to jump the species barrier, and that they have been responsible for a number of outbreaks of bird flu in humans.   less

We have heath and moorland fires, which are sometimes set deliberately by landowners in order to maintain heather moorland for grouse shooting  or grazing land. This is done in a controlled, rotational way in small patches, burning off the old, coarse vegetation and encouraging the growth of new shoots. It is controversial because of possible effects on biodiversity, drainage and water quality, and the inevitable release of greenhouse gases. Moorland is only a semi-natural habitat, and if left untended for decades much of it would eventually become forest. Campaigners have also questioned whether grouse shooting is really a wise use of the land anyway since it is an activity enjoyed mainly by the super-rich and generates few jobs. However, heather moorland is appreciated by hikers and day-trippers for its scenic quality when in bloom, and it's unlikely that it will be allowed to revert to forest any time soon....    less

Peaceful, large-scale immigration into Ireland is a very recent phenomenon - there was hardly any before the 1990s. Today, the Republic of Ireland has one of the largest immigrant populations in Europe, pro rata. Most of the new arrivals are from other European Union countries, especially Poland and the Baltic states. So Ireland is probably still a lot whiter than most of north-western Europe. The very high tolerance of immigration may be explained partly by the fact that it's a sparsely-populated country so people don't feel they are competing with immigrants for land or other scarce resources.  less

    Reverend Muhammadovsky replied to How does your state/country compare to our state (California)?:
    We're getting roughly 50,000 new cases per day, and deaths in the mid-hundreds.

Compared to those four counties we're doing better in terms of cases and deaths per million, but nationally the UK is still one of the worst-affected countries. As I see it, it's partly because we're in the middle of a Europe-wide second wave, and partly because our test-and-trace system is inadequate. The only silver lining is that we've managed to roll out the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine a couple of weeks before anyone else.

Instant Ink is a service by which HP will automatically deliver new cartridges when you are running low. The message said:"A Network Configuration page will print. You will need the code on this printed page in the next step." 
    Is there a way to get past this stage or will I just have to order my new cartridge another way?

    Do movie producers all have a sock phobia or something?

No explanation was given. The transaction was more than £5, which some businesses set as the lower limit for card payments. Had the barber told me that the card reader was broken, I might have believed him, but even this would have been a poor excuse, because with 4 or 5 people working there you'd expect them to have more than one card machine. If this had been eight or nine months ago, I would have been surprised, but with people increasingly using contactless payments even for small transactions since the start of the pandemic, a business refusing to take cards is an anachronism, and it makes me wonder whether there's something else going on.Do you think this could be a sign that the business is a money-laundering operation?  less

If the authorities move someone to a jail where he is more likely to be targeted because of his political views so that he has to be put in solitary, is afraid to eat in case his food is poisoned so that he loses 42 pounds in 2 months, and can't even open a window?

Should I send them a Christmas card each or one addressed to both? Another one. Suppose I have a friend called Chloe whom I've known for 20 years. She has a long term partner called Roger whom I hardly know, I've only met once and spoken on the phone to him a couple of times. They live apart for 8 months of the year because he works in another country, should I address my Christmas card to "Chloe" or "Chloe and Roger"?
