Wow, that's a bit much. In the stores where I shop they just look at it
it and type in my DOB.

A bartender or server is never supposed to serve someone who is already
intoxicated. The establishment can be held liable for what happens if
they leave, get in a car and wind up killing someone.
 
As to how old someone "looks"? I don't know about you but I can't tell
by looking at someone how old they are. Grey hair isn't necessarily an
indication.
 
Here's a fun memory. When I lived in TN there was a liquor store nearby
owned by a couple of guys. They never asked me for ID. One day one of
them said, "Would you mind if I looked at your drivers license?" Of
course not. Turns out he and his business partner had a bet. They'd
been trying to guess my age. One thought 33, the other 35. I was 46 at
the time. Made my day! :)

Or perhaps a percentage reflecting the relative numbers of men and women
in the service. The Army is 14% women. Why should the ratio of combat
infantry positions be 50-50?

Exactly. Navy is more even but not 50% hence no expectation of 50% of
anything. 'GI Jane' aside in the movie, we don't have any female seals
because none have made it. We do have plenty of female SB (closest
thing to a Seal). Generally, we females are representative based on
percentage across the job areas of the Navy. Higher percent than Army
by far. I'll check but I think it is 30-35%?

Of course, I will follow up regarding lesbians in the military, these days it's like a "Bull Dykes Gone Wild!" tacky reality show, pretty disgusting!

All the TIADers who can't cook a lick use 'em... if you're happy with

Crock pots are excellent if you're a lazy bastard who hangs paint by
numbers on your walls thinking it's art.
Even huge commercial kitchens like Campbells doesn't throw all the
ingredients into the vat at the same time and cook it all at the same
temperature for the same amount of time. I think Taco Bell uses a
slow cooker for reheating their previously made mystery meat chili.
The only thing I found a slow cooker does well is to prepare steel cut
oats, saves all that constant stirring, however there's still 15
minutes of constant stirring at the end or it'll be all congealed
lumps.... but doesn't pay unless one is preparing at least a week's
worth of oatmeal at once to reheat each day for breakfast... after
about a year I gave my top of the line slow cooker away because we
tired of oatmeal. I tried it for other dishes like soups and stews
but all were failures in my opinion, especially regarding veggies,
always half cooked or cooked to mush.

In other words, you were too dumb to learn proper use of the appliance
and how the recipes work.

Janet , that's just CNN doing a bit of fear-mongering . There have
been giant wasps around for a while now , I've had them come around once
. Killed 'em all by myself - run away and call us ? Really ? And the
finish , with honey bees being decimated and populations declining ?
Shit , my 4 colonies at end of winter is now either 8 or 9 , they can't
decide . Admittedly , my colonies all stay home . Those jet-setting bees
that travel to all the neat events like pollinating almonds in
California then haulin' ass up the coast to the Apple-in pollination
event might be a different matter . Mixing bees from all over in one
location then sending everybody off to somewhere else is a great way to
spread bee diseases and pests .

I'll use a box mix because it saves time, it's cheap, and the results are
better than if I tried to make it from scratch. I can make a cake just fine
but a box mix gives a finer texture and tenderness. I can't say if the mixes
you got in the UK are the same as in America.
 
That I don't know. I have never tried them in any country:))
 
To make the cake you add a cup of water, 3 eggs, and 1/3 cup oil. I'm too
lazy to haul out the mixer so I use a hand whisk and mix if for at least 2
minutes. It's a lot of work! The most important part is to not bake it too
long. 🍰
