That's like, totally the point! That damp goo-like biscuit paste is the nostalgic flavour of my childhood.
I work for a summer in one of their factory
I mean, it was an independent factory, but they did a lot of contract for them. I can tell you the factory I was was very strict on hygiene and quality, surprisingly.
But one guy told horror stories of the old days. Better not repeat it, you will never want another cream biscuit.
I heard that story too, it was a popular meme down South. But it was about the white sauce in kebab outlets.
Ooh you lucky so-and-so!
Sadly mine got ripped beyond repair in the great storm of '14, The Offlinegate Scandle... god the winds were unbelievable, whole threads got pulled up by the roots. Posts flying everywhere.
I saw hopes and dreams scattered here, there and everywhere. Terrifying really. A good friend of mine, his coffee got knocked over! Yeah. See! I told you it was terrifying. And doubly terrifying, as it was the first one of the day and he was still a bit bleary eyed!!
Try telling the young people of today...... and they won't believe you!
In 1916, the year after the final formulation of the field equations of general relativity, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves. He found that the linearized weak-field equations had wave solutions: transverse waves of spatial strain that travel at the speed of light, generated by time variations of the mass quadrupole moment of the source. Einstein understood that gravitational-wave amplitudes would be remarkably small; moreover, until the Chapel Hill conference in 1957 there was significant debate about the physical reality of gravitational waves
I wish I had but it is not possible at the moment to travel around the world. I think my physical condition will not allow me to travel too long for the time being, but that's a completely different story that doesn't belong here.
Seconde.... when we reach page 1001... seconded. Olive-hating. It's a straight red-card imho.
then I have a hint for you - something you might really like - create a programming language running on your own design virtual machine - one can do so incredible stuff with it and even break current paradigma (like code segments shouldn't change during runtime - crap, that takes away all the interesting possibilities with evolvable code at run-time).
We created a programming language and virtual machine to run millions of parallel task, but which is still easy to program nearly like a single task program. It is using a Forth like approach and has a stack with is concurrently usable by multiple tasks without to interfere with each other.
An example - opening 4 branches of 2000 tasks each which execute "doStuff1" to "doStuff4" is like this:
2 split { taskID 11 split { taskID 2000 > join case [ doStuff1 doStuff2 doStuff3 dStuff4 ] } }
Have you ever seen any other programming language doing it that comprehensively?
Weird flex but ok. And an appreciated contribution on the road to page 1000.
Thought I'd contribute more knowledge to this thread by a simple copy pasta
It's OK, pasta are good.

Almost 3 hours have passed, and only 10 pages added.
I has a disappoint.
Perhaps you'll get to keep it (for a while longer)
I demand total integrity from my biscuits.
Particularly with a simple-yet-tasteful tomato and olives sauce.
We tried our best M'lord, but we are merely humble peasants and meme farmers.
If you're more into solid state physics, I got you covered
We create laterally large and low-disorder GaAs quantum-well-based quantum dots that act as small two-dimensional electron systems. We monitor tunneling of single electrons to the dots by means of capacitance measurements and identify single-electron capacitance peaks in the addition spectrum from occupancies of one up to thousands of electrons. The data show two remarkable phenomena in the Landau level filling factor range ν=2 to ν=5 in selective probing of the edge states of the dot: (i) Coulomb blockade peaks arise from the entrance of two electrons rather than one; (ii) at and near ν=5/2 and at fixed gate voltage, these double-height peaks appear uniformly in a magnetic field with a flux periodicity of h/2e, but they group into pairs at other filling factors.

Completely off topic:
Just had an open backed van drive past, with a chap on a megaphone chanting 'Any Old Iron, Any Old Iron'.
Hell - that takes me back, to being a kid in Yorkshire, and a chap with a handcart used to come round doing the same thing
(I'm not THAT old, but it was Yorkshire, and the internal combustion engine was late to arrive with us)
