Blair is interesting as a tale of two premierships too. The first term was full of genuine progress, especially in the realms of devolution and human rights, but after 9/11, Blair very quickly went the way of ol' George's paranoid religious apocalyptism. https://twitter.com/pornstar1985/status/748863770064289792

I'm really curious as to why this beer has the strength as a secondary piece of info.

 I don't disagree that knowing the 'thickness' of the beer is useful but why is that more important than whether or not it's basically vodka?

Eh beats me. The key take away is that "high gravity" is high alcohol party time. Barleywine and Old Ale are like 12-15% ABV.

It is a different and accurate way to measure alcohol content. I imagine this measure developed before people understood that an alcohol molecule in the beer was responsible for getting them poo poo faced. The physics of why high alcohol content = high gravity is pretty simple and interesting, but I am going to drink instead of explain it.

Woops mixed up original with final gravity. (Also there is a measure of darkness and it's EBC/SRM, the one for bitterness [more accurately for beer it corresponds to Hop usage/amount] is IBU.) Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jul 4, 2016 |

Halisnacks posted:What about the best from a "this person will head the government for 3.5 years" perspective? I understand the hope that having a flagrantly lovely Tory in power might tarnish the brand longer term, but this country has had such horrid governance recently that I'm really hoping for the least bad Tory option. Well, Liam Fox would be the worst. Followed closely by Ledsom & Crabb & Gove & May. The reason I'm saying that Fox would be the best is purely because electability aside, they are all Tories. And not soft, lovey-dovey Tories. Several of them hate gays. May is a Home Secretary & I think except for Roy Jenkins & Ken Clarke Home Secretaries have all been dreadful human beings. Gove wrote a book as a young man lionising Michael Portillo, & while according to people who know him he genuinely abhors inequality because of his background, & recognises that he's where he is in a large part because he was fortunate enough to be adopted by a well off couple who were able to send him to an independent school, the bigger concern is that he's an intense ideologue who has repeatedly shown contempt for facts which disagree with his world view. And those facts would include the fact that his policies would quite likely to increase inequality because he's a loving idiot who has admitted he'd not be a good PM. Liam Fox has come out & said that abortions are bad and has called for "huge restriction, if not abolition" on the UK's "pro-abortion laws". While Defence Secretary he was far too close with dodgy regimes in the middle east like Bahrain, he wanted The Guardian to be prosecuted for printing the Snowden revelations, he's an arch-Eurosceptic who would be a disastrous idiot in exit negotiations with the EU and he wants an end to ring-fenced NHS spending. He'd be a nightmare, which is why you hope he'd have the job for 6 months before a general election is called. It'd be a rough 6 months, but I'd rather 6 months of him than just shy of 4 years of Theresa May.

There are plenty of case studies from countries like Belgium that show that you can massively decrease the number of abortions by using comprehensive sex education, guaranteed availability of contraception, consent-based empowerment, rape crisis teams, availability of emergency contraception, and even just paying new mothers so that nobody is ever too poor to have a child, coupled with a solid social floor. Most of those have side effects that are actually good too. There are also plenty of case studies from countries that flat out ban abortion like Ireland that show that the largest effect is an increase in back alley terminations and the dangers that come from that. This kind of ban culture bullshit comes from both sides of the aisle and I'm not sure whether it's hopeful idiocy or active malice or both.

I really doubt even a Tory majority could get a bill making abortion illegal again through Parliament. They could probably do some horrible poo poo in that area like cutting funding provisions and adding conditions and restrictions to make things more difficult and unpleasant for the woman involved, but I'd like to believe that a flat out ban just isn't something that would pass a Commons vote, let alone get through Lords. e: I know May wants out of the ECHR, but surely such a law wouldn't stand on human rights grounds in any case.
