Norway is second on that per capita list and USA is first in tonnage. I could see how USA first, Norway second could be bungled out of that. Perhaps after a glass of wine or two. Or three maybe.
12KG of dried beans per capita is astounding. Those Scandinavians are giants among us.
I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything. There are many things I don’t know anything about, such as whether it means...
Oh thank you. Feynman’s up there with Sagan for me as an easy listen that brings insight and joy.
Currently working my way through Cosmos again (the book). I genuinely marvel at these minds that have such deep, deep insight and understanding yet manage to convey it with such ease.
edit: I am 4 minutes in and smiling. What an incredible mind.
edit 2: I’m at the magnets section and just realised I’ve seen this before a very long time ago. Long enough ago to be fortunate enough to not remember most of it and get the joy a second time.
I’m gonna get you the proper measurements etc. tomorrow because it’s very late here but the ingredients are:
400g wholemeal flour
White plain flour, seived (my own preference is about 1/4 but you let your mouth decide from experience)
Baking soda
Pinch of salt
Buttermilk until it’s fairly mushy
Honestly you just lump it all together. Make a circular mound out of it. Criss cross with a knife and lob it in the oven on a floured baking tray at 180C for fan.
I’ll get you a proper recipe in the morning or poke me if I forget. It’s hard to do wrong and I’m not a good baker.
I would tend to do 400 / 100 brown to white, no wheatgerm as I said but I do like it it a bit more dense. Higher white flour ratio will have it slightly less dense so up to yourself. It’s technically possible to do with normal milk and baking powder (instead of buttermilk / baking soda) but I would always go with the buttermilk and soda myself.
I also frequently use that recipe and just roll it out and cut scones out of it with a glass or large cutter. They cook faster for hungry kids and have more crust (which I like).
Interested to hear if you do give it a whirl. :)
edit: I had a quick look at your post history and see you’re vegan. Baking powder (probably 2tsp I imagine for the acid + base instead of 1 for just the base when using baking soda) with oatmilk I would imagine would be totally fine. I’m not sure if there are any acidic vegan milks that would be the equivalent of the buttermilk?
In a pinch I have used cows milk, baking soda and a small amount of vinegar or even lemon juice in the milk for raising. Good luck!
Hypothetically speaking if I a 18 year old man paid a 48 year old woman to have sex with me and I wear a condom and we both consented to it is that morally wrong or is it morally okay?...

There is a history here of ridiculous things getting delivered so if that had made it to Ireland I’d say the postie would have done the business.
There was a lad a few years back that sent increasingly obscure addresses to see what would get delivered and documented it for fun. He called it “Me V’s An Post”.
To be honest I use signal “message to self”. I know there are better ways to do it but it’s a very convenient way to transfer small files from my laptop to my phone securely.
This is a classic example of why fines are only meaningful if you’re poor. Scaled fines based on income or wealth or jail time is the only thing that will prevent this kind of thing.
