You're in the right place, but it may be a little bit slow going at first, also check out any of the normal trees groups as they'll likely be a bit more active and will still be friendly towards vape ents!

If you can pee on that without spilling then you have much greater control than I, haha

This guy gets why I was initially misunderstanding

Lmao, the false outrage over me not knowing that they use the same form factor for more than one test...

I'd only ever come across it for COVID tests, the only pregnancy tests I've interacted with/seen advertised have been the stick versions.

The UK COVID test were all using this plastic moulding (minus the embossed letters) and I've never seen a pregnancy test that wasn't a stick that you pee on?

And if you're aware that it says hCG (which I admittedly missed before commenting), then I think you answered your own question...

This definitely sounds like a "You can't logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into"

Silly suggestion, and no idea if it will work, but it's an easy one to test;

Get some cooking/vegetable oil, and see if it will help dissolve the residue by putting a bit on some kitchen towel and either scrubbing with the oiled paper towel or leaving that towel on the residue for 10 mins and seeing if the grease has softened.

If the oil does seem to dissolve/soften the grease residue then you can add some bicarb/salt to act as gentle abrasive as it won't dissolve in the oil as it would do in water

I've used cooking oil to dissolve tar/bitumen paint from my skin and clothes before and you can then use soap to clear the dissolved tar in oil.

Otherwise use a kitchen degreaser like you'd clean a traditional oven with.

I imagine what's happening with the oil is something akin to polymerization, so you either need to break the polymers bonds or dissolve in a suitable solvent

This should really be the canary in the coal mine for just how bad things are going to get.

Fox gloves (though maybe avoid if you have young children, or animals who are likely to eat them).

Lupins

Linaria purpurea (not native but naturalised basically everywhere in England), the bees and other pollinators absolutely love them.

Lobelia of different varieties.

Elderberry is a nice option, flowers and berries can be used in recipes

Apple, plum, pear and peach are all good to espalier

Gooseberry and currents will grow no matter what.

Budliah is great for bees and butterflies, is very fast growing and has lots of flowers for basically 9 months of the year. I would be careful with he variety you get, make sure it is a dwarf variety as it likes to self seed and the larger varieties can require multiple trims a year.

Use things like rosemary if you want relatively short boundary bushes, can also be used for cooking, they like being pruned back etc

Outta curiosity what is a Keto cough drop?

I mean I don't think there are any high protein cough drops, but I'm pretty sure you can get sugar free cough drops... You can atleast definitely get sugar free boiled sweets, a couple of type 1 diabetics I know have them, and you get them at the checkouts here as shops aren't allowed to put sugary snacks at the checkouts.

And in regards to getting proteins that are atleast in stock, lentils and peas/beans are pretty good sources of proteins, I've seen people make some good looking keto friendly naan breads/flat breads using pea protein (IIRC), have you tried anything like that?

You'd be able to, but you would need to either insulate the interior with PIR, or clad the exterior with PIR insulation.

Admittedly my property is a 1960's brick build with wall cavities, but we're build on the side of a hill with soil retaining walls so we aren't the most efficient property, though overboarding the walls has made a big difference. There is a lot of improvements people could do even remaining on a gas boiler.

IMHO, exterior cladding and insulation seems to be the best option for actually making the properties warmer with minimal disruption to living in them, alongside upgrading fibreglass insulation in the loft spaces.

We have gotten a heat pump installed and it's doing a good job so far, and that's without a lot of the main upgrades to the insulation don't, unfortunately the installers have been a pain in the ass.
