Elizabethan Error posted:the above starts at 4:10 in the below video if you're interested in further context. I watched like half an hour of this. British politics is so much radder than American politics; I wish our congresspeople would fuckin' slam each other with sick burns all the time like British MPs do. The only downside is that "order" no longer sounds like a real word.

The instructors were showing them the paddle movement needed, then flipping them over so they could themselves back up. I guess it's a handy skill to have, I've never been kayaking.

Not being upside down, but specifically the bounce up. Like, falling, bouncing off of the ground, then falling back down knowing that, this time, there won't be a bounce.

There is more momentum transfer on a bounce but less energy transfer. Momentum transfer and the attendant acceleration is what fucks up your back, though.

I was in such a class, but I sucked at Greenland rolls, usually had to wet exit instead. But it is super handy to know, if you ever get flipped by a wave or in whitewater. Having to leave the kayak in the middle of rough conditions or far from land means you might never get back in, or will sink if you can't bail out the water that now fills the hull.

Perestroika posted:Last Week Tonight recently had a segment with various clips of the current Speaker calling for order, and it's just Something which people outside the UK might not know is that the speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, is an elected MP. The MP's vote amongst themselves to see who want's to do it. Now John Bercow was a hardline right-wing Tory MP but over the years he drifted more and more socially liberal. When the speaker position came up in 2009 most people in the Tory party didn't want Bercow to be the speaker. Tory's wanted George Samuel Knatchbull Young, Baron Young of Cookham to be speaker, much more in line with what they like. Now the speaker is not aligned to any specific party but you tend to try and get someone from your own party in the hopes that they will be sympathetic to you in the future. What happened instead though was instead of voting for their own candidate, Margret Beckett, most of the Labour MP's voted for Bercow, just to annoy the Tories. He's been elected twice more unopposed because everyone will just vote for Bercow again if the Tories put someone up against him (including the Tories that still like his as it's a secret ballot)

Firos posted:Ahem, the nickname is The Honourable Member for the 18th century. When you hear them address him they are always keen to stress 'The Honourable Member' because Rees-Mogg is desperate to be on the Privy Council which would make his title 'The Right Honourable Member', they're just clarifying his position to him every time.

He's always come across as a decent guy to me though, and a lot of people have come forward to defend him (including the current Seargent of Arms, at least I think that's the spelling. Who is black and had racist abuse and was defended by Bercow) Either way his putdowns are awesome. Especially when he gets angry.

Rees-Mogg is in the same position as Boris Johnson, though, in that he's very popular with a certain subset of Conservative Party voters and members, but is not very well-liked by other Conservative MPs, which would make it difficult for him to become leader of the party based on how their leadership elections work. They are going to lose the next election in any event, but if it's an especially bad loss (it probably will be) they'll probably throw up their hands and go, "Well, electing the outsider worked for Labour!"

His job is to keep MPs in line but I think the people accusing him of being a bully are people who work for him as on staff at the Speaker's Office. I wouldn't be surprised if there's something to it.
