The real trick if you have long hair is to pull it out and put it to one side rather than letting it go down the drain. You still get some but at least the drain will last you through an entire shower that way.

jabby posted:Do you have to carry a really big opposing magnet to cancel it out? No, but you can normally pull them open with enough grunt - for safety reasons the power of the magnets is limited to apply only about 50 kilos of force when they're closed. Anyway the Weird Trick is that there's a bug in a lot of the older intercom systems where if enough buttons are held down at once the system resets and the door lock releases. It only works on the numbers higher than the most significant figure of flats in the block (so if there's 50 flats, holding down buttons 6-0 should do it). They're replacing the systems now so the trick will yield diminishing returns. Also if you're a morning person, the "Trades" button on most of those systems will open the door between 8am and midday. (Also those systems have the older FB access locks - the ones with the semicircular opening - which can normally be activated with a screwdriver or even a ring pull)

goddamnedtwisto posted:This came up a couple of times previously in the thread but it had moved on by the time I noticed and thought to ask - does anyone have a source for this? Because even the lovely 80s security retrofits fail open, and I've literally never seen a physical lock installed on a council block of any vintage on an exit route. Also any further word/confirmation as to whether or not Serco had run actual gas pipes up the stairwell? mentioned it elsewhere but the stage 1 report - despite the news articles trying to flay the fire department - is more focused on the control room being understaffed and procedures for staying on the line until the person is rescued not adding up to the amount of calls coming in. keep in mind stage 1 focuses on night of fire and response, meaning the inquiry can't say what lead up to them being in that state until stage 2 there was also communication issues on the ground between fire/police/ambulance (they were deciding if was a major incident of not 30m between each other but not telling anyone else). no sharing of info between the control room personnel of the status of each room (and it not getting fed back to ground crew). they were unprepared for dealing with a high-rise that should have had compartmentalisation failing and no one with authority was making the call to call off the stay-put order (~50m after the fire started is the judgement in hindsight of the paper when the fire was clearly out of control, but stay-put was called off over 1.5h later) the main point of the inquiry is in stage 2 though, this seemed aimed at delving into the minute-by-minute response of a crisis scenario and it's not surprising that things didn't go to plan that's just off memory though so have a read of vol. 1 and 4: https://www.grenfelltowerinquiry.org.uk/phase-1-report

https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/1192126915789950976 Encouraging but not that interesting from a topline pespective. More interesting in the follow up questions: - Only 29% support Johnson's Brexit deal, 38% oppose - 25% of Leave voters oppose his deal, 47% support One in four leave voters not backing his deal could be problematic if the Brexit party really does stand everywhere. https://twitter.com/DrFrancesRyan/status/1192029756239306752

As a mental health worker I had to clear out one of these and it became a life long scar, so I might as well inflict it on others Spoilered for weak stomachs/those eating previous staff had not realised it was a thing that might hold stuff and thought it was just a weird plug hole and thus it never got cleaned properly and that shower was solely used by a lady who happened to have vagina problems and oh god the memory of the smell/texture/sight of it is enough to turn my stomach 15 years later I put olbas oil on the inside of a dust mask and otherwise built my own hazmat suit largely from bin bags to deal with it and ended up killing my sense of smell for about a week because that much olbas oil up close is a bad loving idea in the vast majority of circumstances. But it got cleaned

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:i was reading the grenfell report earlier, it goes out of the way to mention the gas pipes not being a reason for the fire spread despite earlier indications. they still had the pipework exposed and not boxed in months after the refurb though, but that's decorative and more a sign of shoddy workmanship than changing the hazard of it all. nothing about the pipes being in the stairwell (i do vaguely recall that mentioned at the time), and the report does praise a specific engineer for cutting the supply which was the fuel source after everything else had failed around it Thanks for all that, and for filtering the report. I really can't read it - if I think too much or too long about Grenfell it just completely fucks me up.

in fairness i'm only reading vol 1 and 4 and avoiding 2-3 which focus on the minute-by-minute details of what happened. only read up to chapter 25 atm as well, and stage 2 is what i'm more interested in as focusing on the minute-by-minute crisis response doesn't exactly help existing tenants in high rises in a regulatory context if you have any specific questions i'll keep them in mind for the next reading session

Also that reminds me that there are South Park fans that are *still* salty about that episode (because it pissed all over the cliffhanger at the end of season 1) which makes it objectively the best episode, in the same way That 90s Show is the best Simpsons episode because all fandom is idiocy and should be hosed with at every opportunity.

Finally got my own dodgy Lib Dem poll leaflet through the door today.  This is a Labour Tory marginal and the sitting Tory MP isn't standing! Pretty sure Electoral Calculus isn't a pollster either. 2017 result:  Side note, any other UCU members in the thread going on strike on the 25th?

DesperateDan posted:https://twitter.com/bbc5live/status/1192024742506696704?s=19 I really, really hope it continues like this. Conservatives just do not know how to react when members of the press don't have their tongue firmly wedged up tory arse. Sooner or later the sheer volume of crap might mean a few bits trickling down to those low information voters. Anyway if there's one thing you can say for Jo; Swindon, it's that unlike most of her party she's been a dyed in the tartan lib dem since the cheeky girl era.
