sunday quiz

40/50 yayyy!! I must be a kid at heart.

Wonderful! Please sling some my way.

Forgot to check this year's Ignobels cos Munich etc. til today - link

Not the best ever selection this year, though I didn't know that drinking alcohol improves one's ability to speak a foreign language. Proven by scientists. It's hard to beat the electrified chopsticks of 2023 imo.

Football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars please chef. Lightly stir-fried.

Ouch. I don't like your chances of removing the stains. Maybe clean by whatever means that works, and then seal over the top with a viscous self-levelling compound (Bunnings). Re pitting, I'm thinking breeding grounds for airborne wild moulds/yeasts but you'd know better than I if this is likely a problem with your set up. Best of luck!

True.

Not much difference between 11 and 10.60.

Not yet. Still $10-60. Will go up in January as per usual.

Probably not. Beer/mash has a lot of organics in it, and CLR is wonderful for removing stains due to non-organics but doesn't do so well with organics. Maybe oxygen laundry booster or washing soda would work better? Patch test essential.

EDIT: CLR is high risk of damaging the cement floor unless it's been thoroughly sealed with something non-reactive. Lots of micropitting which you probably don't want near the beer cos microbiology. Could wax lyrical about concrete/cement floors - used to work in the industry. Unless sealed, cement floors are VERY reactive to a lot of chemicals and stain/degrade very quickly. The worst is fats & oil contamination - does horrible things to concrete and very difficult to remove without damage. And beer is full of lipids, which crosslink easily with calcium carbonate.

You may be looking at grinding back and re-finishing the floor - I hope not but it depends a bit on what stage the beer was at when the beernami happened.

Damn. What a disappointment.

Thanks chef!

Same as Force please chef.

It's Friday!

8/10

The crimestoppers website might have some information tomorrow - particularly if the police are still trying to find/identify the perpetrator.

Bananana fritters with chocolate sauce please chef. And a large Blue Heaven spider.

Just watched this - holy shit! This is one fantastickly good doco. Yes, it's worth 49.56 minutes of your time. Published a year ago, but still horribly relevant.

The Deadliest Infectious Disease of All Time | Crash Course Lecture

Greg was a mate of my mum - they shared art classes and he used to come to dinner at our place back when I was a kid. His work is quite collectable, so I think you've scored a win here. Could be worth a few hundred dollaries at auction.

Next leg of flight home starts in a couple of hours. Couldn't get a premium economy seat so doing ordinary economy. Kill me now.

Hi Peeps. Just about to get on a plane back to Melbs. Have missed you all.

More than possible, probably you're correct.
