Stop buying at supermarkets? My local butcher (who also makes excellent sausages) will cut rashers however the customer wants, including leaving rind on, and is always busy!
No1 son is a qualified Butcher and works in a high class organic butchers...

The difference between supermarket and butcher shop meat is night and day..

More expensive but so worth it.

It's a shame daughter is a vegan... 🤣🤣🤣

absolutely - especially if they even state where their meat is coming from and you can actually visit the local farmer, from where the animals originate. It is often a matter of how those animals are raised and what feed they get, which makes for excellent meat quality. A butcher can as well help with selecting the right cut for the meal you are having in mind - the only meat I buy in supermarkets is kangaroo otherwise I buy from our local butcher - it is a bit more expensive, yeah, but as well not that much and well worth it.

Water consumption torture used to be used on pirates or noncompliant sailors back in the days of Jack Sparrow and other legendary people I know. And this is the good ol' British navy doing it for fun, and from my history lessons at school as opposed to wiki.

They used to tie a naughty chap to a mast, and force him to drink water slowly but constantly via a tube down his still conscious gullet. As above, salt depletion would make them go wacko first (low sodium) before the kidneys became fully porous, and the blood juice just drained out of him, followed relatively quickly by seizures coma then being buried at sea. Because you start peeing for lack of control before the kidneys give up, which is incredibly painful if you have ever had a kidney infection. So the more you pee, the more you start to crave the water, and it becomes a vicious cycle where in essence you are drinking water to die. Excellent.

I've added in some medical stuff to make it look even more fun (accurate stuff mind), but it's a horrible way to go and very painful to the muscles everywhere, as well as feeling like you are being run over across your midsection, without going into a whole homeostasis explanation of sodium, pot, carb, etc balance explanation.

Before you died though, they would often stab you as well, just for a bit of sport. Bless the old royal navy eh?!

I have probably sounded quite evil now from the above. I am.
 
yeah, but it just isn't - if you drink too much pure water, the salt content in your body will decrease and this can kill you - it is even called water-poisoning.

the same is true if you drink salted water - like ocean water - it will dehydrate you.
Certain recreational drugs can fool your brain enough to do this. I've seen a couple of instances where people just drink and drink and die.

it's too bad there isn't just an entire powerplay mechanic composed entirely of pirate factions across the bubbles. With allegiances and territories and "wars" between them entirely dictated by pledged players.

that would make much more sense than the current powerplay mechanic that somehow exists between super powers and factions yet hardly referenced by either.

at least a criminal underbelly would make sense to be sort of a "shadow" power structure that is usually ignored by the official power structure except in general terms.

Well, this is an unexpectedly detailed and frankly terrifying post from you Mr Hat.

Makes sure windows and doors are locked and the stopcock is turned to the off position.

Stop being imaginative because it simply hurts too much thinking about what we don't have.

For some reason quite often for light banter in the pharmacy staff room we'd discuss stuff like this. I can remember walking in one day and the topics were the best combo of drugs to take for suicide or if you really wanted someone to suffer you'd slip x into their tea- and feeling a bit awkward sitting down with my coffee because the day before I'd accidentally dinged my line managers prized mug.

Thank goodness I did not go into pathology because then it would have gotten really weird at break times:D
