    Anything tomatoey or red-peppery. Sweet and sour sauce would also do that. Also, the type of pasta shape isn't really affecting anything.

    In 2019, AI-programmers were able to make convincing videos of people talking from a single source image, so they tried it on some famous portraits:

    So we're approaching a time when we will soon not be able to be sure if a video of someone saying something provocative is actually true or not.
    CT creators are going to have a field day with this technology.

    Unfortunately we've kinda passed that stage with deepfake videos being distributed through social media. it has been used to help influence elections
    According to this article from Sept 2020 60% of deepfake videos now target politics and views are up 2,000% since late 2019...

    It's from lycopene which is contained in the tomatoes.
    Rub with lemon juice and put them in the sun

    The sun? You do know this is Ireland, right? :D We use sunny days to do loads of washes ("there's great drying in it"), we don't have time to sun-bleach our kitchen containers! :pac:

    I thought that was their old name, too, but etymonline disagrees. Anyway, both names are very fitting, they do flutter by and their wings "melt" like butter if you touch them.

    I was in London about 18 months ago and there was a guy on the tube eating a cardboard box. Well, that's what it looked like - you can get squares (blasphemy!) of takeaway pizza in lightweight boxes.

    10mm Socket. As soon as you open a socket set these little blighters make a mad dash for freedom. Looks like this one drowned in an effort to escape

    Why does it look like it was soldered on? It can't be just the rust, can it?

    Like all home mechanics, I've lost a few of them.
    I found one in my shed a few months ago. Have no idea where it came from but it definitley wasn't one of my sets :confused:

    It fell into the cooling system of an engine.

    Got caught in the thermostat.

    If you are missing your 10mm socket, your partner may have put it in here. What a monster to do that :/

    It's a myth.

    Then again I can never find a 13mm when I need one so there may be something in it.

    I call BS. There's not even one pair of blunt scissors with glue residue on their blades in there, nor can I see any screwdrivers with broken handles, nor is there a roll of ancient, yellowed, deformed, fused-together sellotape. No string or fuses either, or oven/fridge lightbulbs.
