In our house, we typically fry an egg, or make an omelette and eat it with the provided carbs. For example I do not like to eat pork belly, so I fry an egg and eat it with the chips or similar on the plate.

@clvrmnky if you want even more evidence of it being a very think plastic, take a look at npfpackaging.co.uk/heavy-duty-polythene-thickness. 130um would be considered “Heavy duty”. Anyway, time to have a comment cleanup.
Tim
Aug 14, 2024 20:41
@clvrmnky to be clear: understanding 130um as an SI unit is absolutely correct, and nobody is arguing against that. The thing you got wrong is your claim that it’s “tiny”. So in reply to your incredibly sarcastic comment “However, I think we can agree it is thin. Can we do that? Please? Agree that "130" of your earth "microns" is a thickness that is quite thin”: no. We can’t agree that.

@clvrmnky you seem very keen to jump into arguments on this thread. But I have no idea what this argument is about. 130um is equal to 5mil (not 5mm, that’s different). User71659 was simply saying that, as vinyl sheeting goes, 130um is actually not that thin. For example, I just found a similar product that’s 70um. Plastic sheeting easily goes down <10um. The listing for this product literally calls it “extra thick”.

If you're going to argue Jesus is not fully God, it's not worth discussing. We're coming from such different views of God and Jesus that it becomes meaningless.

@SoFewAgainstSoMany those who do not believe in Jesus to be the only way to their salvation will be thrown into Hades. Luke 10:16, Luke 16 and Romans 1:20 are relevant
Tim
Jun 19, 2024 16:31
@SoFewAgainstSoMany I think Gal 3 disagrees with that claim. You've also not explained why you believe being the first human is a reason to be saved: was Jesus wrong when He claimed there was only one path to salvation?
Tim
Jun 19, 2024 16:31
@SoFewAgainstSoMany Adam could have believed (we don't know that he did) because Adam was told by God that a descendant (of the woman) would save humanity - Gen 3:15. The Bible is very, very clear on this point: there is only one way to salvation through His Son, Jesus. John 14:6. Adam being saved through being made of mud / being the first human would directly contradict Jesus' claim.
Tim
Jun 19, 2024 16:31
@SoFewAgainstSoMany Abraham also heard the voice of the Lord (Gen 12, 13, 15, etc) but he was considered righteous because of his faith (Gen 15:6, Rom 4:3). Many people saw / talked directly to Jesus (who is fully God, Phil 2:6) but they didn't have faith, and weren't saved (Luke 4:28, Luke 23:39 vs 40-43). Also, believing the Lord exists, and having faith in Him for your deliverance alone are also different things: Jews believe the Lord exists, but they are not saved, because the Law does not save. Only faith saves.
Tim
Jun 19, 2024 16:31
@SoFewAgainstSoMany "Both of these figures, Adam and Jesus are in heaven": citation needed. There is one thing and one thing only which saves people: faith. Being the first human counts for nothing if Adam didn't, when he died, have faith in the Lord for his deliverance. The Bible does not say if Adam had faith at that point: we cannot, with any level of certainty, know if he was saved from hades.
Tim
Jun 19, 2024 16:31
@SoFewAgainstSoMany "Abel who Jesus said was innocent goes to heaven while his parents who taught him about God since he was an infant go to hell" - not at all. A child's righteousness does not impact a parent's righteousness any more than a parent's impacts a child's. God does not have grandchildren.

That's not a hypothetical either - renting a property out does cost money. E.g. in my local authority you have to pay for a yearly Gas Safety check and register the property. Probably redecorate at end of tenancy / fix wear and tear during. All these costs could rapidly increase to the point of prospective tenants not being able to afford it.
Tim
Nov 22, 2023 16:33
@CharlesDuffy no, they would reduce them to the break-even cost of renting. Nobody would rent out a property for £200pcm if it cost them £300pcm more to do so than leaving it unoccupied. In the case where that value (£300pcm in this example) is greater than tenants are willing to pay, occupancy falls below 100%.

@Richard from a quick scan through, I think he practices medicine without a licence, breaks fishing quotas, has contact with an infectious disease without reporting it, weather modification (possibly not a crime?), destroys property, feeds people without appropriate food hygiene measures, causes large gatherings without licences, assaults someone with spit (sort of with permission, although I bet his saliva isn’t an approved medication), and kills a tree without permission. I’m not sure if raising from the dead would break laws?

@zibadawatimmy yes, my thinking was that it doesn’t count as “government issued” if Jesus performs a miracle to have a licence (and now he may be committing fraud). I guess he could perform a miracle to take ownership of a company which has the appropriate licence… (maybe that counts as theft / coercion)…

@pygosceles stop tagging me in comments, you’re not actually reading / understanding what I’m saying and keep coming out with this conceptual codswallop that doesn’t align with reality. This conversation is going nowhere.
Tim
Feb 1, 2023 01:37
@pygosceles You still seem to be arguing the hypothetical, because, right now, tax law is not covered by the ex post facto law. What you think should be the case is irrelevant to the discussion of what currently is the case.
Tim
Feb 1, 2023 01:37
@pygosceles you've written a lot there, but it still doesn't change the answer. The current interpretation, by the judiciary, of the constitution, is that tax law is not covered by the ex post facto rules. That's been the case for many years, and I'm willing to bet it will remain that way. I'm not even sure what you're arguing? That it shouldn't be the case? My statements are purely factual, not hypothetical.

@pygosceles judges do have authority on this matter in the present. It might change, but the question was about now, not a hypothetical about tomorrow.
Tim
Feb 1, 2023 01:37
@pygosceles please reread my comment: the judiciary have interpreted that non criminal law isn’t covered
Tim
Feb 1, 2023 01:37
@bdb484 the clause itself doesn’t, but from my understanding the current interpretation of it by the judiciary does limit it to criminal law?
Tim

@vsz tax law isn’t criminal law

@CharlieEvans and your take assumes good faith on the part of the graphic authors. Nobody knows what their intention was, but we can identify agreements which seem to have been excluded with little obvious difference to those which were included. My default response would be "they want to show the UK as isolated". Your response seems to be "they made a mistake"? or "they ran out of space"? And BTW, the UK absolutely counts as a "major, multilateral, economic bloc".
