Is anyone aware of what is happening with bread?

It is being mandated that all white flour - and anything made from it - must be 'fortified' with synthetic folic acid. This is from December 13th, although it is already in many foods.

Apparently, it can 'possibly' help to prevent up to 200 neural tube defects in pregnant women per year. For that reason, virtually the whole of th...

Ahh--Ovaltine, There's a memory from my childhood
There used to be a Wanders/Ovaltine factory in the next town along from us and a treat for us kids would be a trip over to the factory outlet and get a bulk tin of Ovaltine tablets/chews. The tin was like a gallon paint tin size with a lever off lid same as a paint tin - must have eaten thousands of them yum yum. Then the factory was sold ou...

Trump's fate aside.

The markets love it.

Oil trading lower, and an end or a significant ramping down of Iran war, has already been priced in.

Stocks up.

Money to be made.

A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go around
That clinking, clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round

Intolerance/sensitivity, or Coeliac Richard?

Main brand Rice Crispies always did contain gluten in the form of added Barley (other than Nestle's gauranteed GF, now discontinued).

More generally, I agree. So much prepared, now called processed and ultra processed food, is crap, and tastes crap.

I've stopped buying so much of it. I spend half my shopping time these days re...

And it now also contains Gluten ! So further limiting buyers !

Not that I ever bought it before.

I visited an oriental supermarket when I lived in Wichita Ks in about 1982 and noticed they had 2 types of Ovaltine, one was made in the US and the ingredients read like a chemistry set, the other had the original ingredients, malt, dried egg, dried milk, cocoa and reading further it was made in the UK for export to Asia and imported into the US. I guess the customers appreciated the original prod...

Following on from chocolate being filled with crap, I now see Kelloggs are changing Rice Krispies. They will no longer be made with rice grains but rice flour and cornflour. Surely that must bring the name into question. I find it strange that the bean counters think people wont pay more if raw materials go up so just add crap to keep the price down.

I think the real culprits are the sup...

Only Trump knows how Trump will react. Except, if he's constrained by his own side deciding not to back him up anymore. They have to be careful though. Split the vote by attacking Trump too much, and they guarantee a Dem' win in 2028.

But I can't see Trump now using all that extra military force he's been building up, to attack/threaten Iran and end the war that way. That's not a good rea...

Les
Out of interest Uni Thread (which have links to Tracy tools I think) do list BA inserts.
Tracy do list them 1.5 D inserts but are quite expensive !

Google AI said the early frames were BA, later were 10-32 UNF. I was concerned about how thin the frame apparently is and maybe a helicoil type thread insert wasn't appropriate hence making an insert as Les has done.
