Is there a reason why way more people would've moved house in the past 2 years than the 2 years before 2017 or the 5 years before 2015?

ThomasPaine posted:Thanks! Yeah, Alienware is a dumb idea but they just look so cool lol. My living situation at present is sufficiently chaotic that I'm not really willing to go for a desktop. I'm likely to be moving flat in ~5 months and then probably again not long after that. Hurray for academia. I'm not made of money but I have a few grand in savings. Wouldn't really want to spend beyond the ~£1500 mark ideally, and it would need to be a solidly built machine that'll last me at least five years or so. I've heard Huawei is alright for the price? I've also noticed that getting an i9 processor adds to the price considerably, is this worth it over an i7? Long time lurker here, first post! If you are dead set on the idea, and constantly on the move, as I was - then I can recommend a branded Clevo laptop. They make barebone laptop chassis'' that are sold on to 3rd parties who sell them as their own: I believe the most popular named brand of them in the US is Sager - and there are plenty of UK companies offering them too. I got mine from Scan under their 3xs brand 4 years ago now, and it's still going strong. Also Scan offer excellent and prompt support in my experience, and have sourced replacement parts for me very quickly before. I found it a little easier to take apart than big name branded laptops, so maintenance is a bit easier too (I've broken my keyboard before and cracked my screen after dropping it while open, both parts were easy for me to replace.) They also look pretty decent imo, they don't look stupid like most gaming laptops, they just look like a basic workstation. I took mine to uni and work with me (I was back and forward a lot) and everyone just assumed it was a generic, basic laptop. This isn't to say the finish is cheap, just not garish - the back-lit keyboard was just plain white too, but newer ones have toggle-able RGB. Speakers are also great. Downside is, although the laptop itself is quite light - power brick is not, and battery was 4 hours max when using it for work (word processing, Web browsing etc.) For reference, my machine is a Clevo P650se from 3XS, with a 970m and while I can't max most newer games anymore unless I lock 30, it still runs games better than my PS4. I think the newer ones have max q or you can choose a RTX 2060 version to cut costs - both should run most newer games 60fps I believe, but you can always check benchmarks. Worth looking into it anyway, but in my case I really found the portability to be worth the extra cost.

goddamnedtwisto posted:That was a sealed indictment, which isn't an extradition request. If it was extant at the time he went into the embassy, why was it not even mentioned by anyone - including Assange's legal team - until six years afterwards when the US finally did formally request extradition? The public existence of an extradition request changes the political cost to taking Assange into custody. It's one thing to nominally nab him to face rape charges, and another to face punishment for publishing inconvenient information. That's why USA waited until Assange was in custody before making the request public. Sweden refusing to promise not to extradite him to USA was a pretty good reason for him to fear subjecting himself to Swedish custody.

Pencils R Cool posted:Never heard of this Craig Murray chap before (so apologies if I'm endorsing an article from Milkshake Duck) but I found this to be a good read. He's a very interesting person who as British ambassador to Uzbekistan got a front-row seat to see how very willing HMG is to ignore so-called British values because [$_OPPRESSIVE_TORTURING_DICTATOR] is our man; and was then comprehensively nobbled when he tried to speak out about what was going on. Through this, he genuinely knows a fair amount of dirt on a lot of very rich people. Unfortunately, the experience seems to have broken his brain so badly that he now can't help but peddle any old conspirabollocks going (at the moment he's all in on "Alex Salmond is being framed by the Establishment to discredit Scottish independence", having indulged previously in such numbers as Assad apologism/discrediting the White Helmets, and "Mossad did Skripal and anyone who disagrees is a Zionist pigdog"), and so the stuff he does actually know about becomes ever more indistinguishable from the fairy stories he trots out for Russia Today.

having politics chat with the fam while we're on holiday at Center Parcs my mum I think is going to vote Green because she doesn't like Corbyn very much (she's been taken in by quite a bit of the Lib Dem propaganda like "Corbyn is a leaver" and "all 3 of the main party leaders could lose their seats" (loving  ) but she doesn't like Jo; either)my dad was talking about Corbyn lacking "charisma" which is important because he needs it to "lead" apparently  I think he might go LD(we are all in Coventry NW so it doesn't matter very much who we vote for as it's a Labour stronghold) my b-i-l thinks Corbyn's nice but useless ("why won't he make a stand and say that Brexit is bad for the country") but my sister is a good egg and will get him to vote Labour anyway I'm sure (sadly they're in Harborough which is pretty solidly Tory)

Ornedan posted:The public existence of an extradition request changes the political cost to taking Assange into custody. It's one thing to nominally nab him to face rape charges, and another to face punishment for publishing inconvenient information. That's why USA waited until Assange was in custody before making the request public. The UK weren't promising not to extradite him to the USA either. However he would have been in far less danger of being extradited from Sweden than he would have been from the UK - Sweden has a dual-criminality extradition treaty with the US (meaning the offence has to be an offence in Sweden for him to be extradited) and very robust whistleblower protections (and is generally much less amenable to political pressure from the US). As to your first point - what's your proposed sequence of events? Sweden asked for the EAW so the UK could arrest Assange and then Sweden would drop the EAW and the Yanks would go "Well as you've already got him in custody we'd like you to send him here"? Even if this was a legally possible thing (he'd lost the appeal against extradition - had he not gone into the embassy he'd have been on a plane to Sweden that night), what's in it for the Swedes, and in what way does it end up less damaging to the UK?

Wow. Even if the guy was smoking weed that's one hell of an overreaction. Crazy how quickly I'm getting radicalised against the police these days. That said, since moving down to London one of the biggest differences I've noticed compared to Glasgow is this entire city stinks of weed all the time. It doesn't bother me and I actually quite like the smell, but gently caress me it's noticeable.

Thanks for everyone's help earlier with the Undecided, Possibly Tory voter - I scanned through the replies for points to use even though I didn't have time to comment. I think they're a lost cause, the overwhelming mantra is 'Never Corbyn' and domestic policy doesn't interest them at all - Johnson can lie about nurses all he wants but the important thing is whether or not Corbyn would negotiate with Argentina over the Falklands. I get the impression that they could witness Corbyn rescue orphans and kittens from a burning building and they'd mutter about him undermining the fire service or something. On the plus (?) side, they live in a massively safe Tory seat so it's not as though their vote will make much difference.

So "I smelled some cannabis" is the UK police equivalent of the US police's "I thought I heard someone scream" then Funny how it never happens with rooms full of white people, might be worth it for the deodorant industry to investigate the odor absorption properties of low melanin skin

dont know if I missed it but the bbcs non apology for editing the answer from Boris is p poo poo and useless https://mobile.twitter.com/BBCNewsP...60%2Fframe.html how is clearing up repetitious phrasing an excuse also the BBC news article says quote:The BBC's statement follows an error on BBC Breakfast last month when out-of-date footage of Mr Johnson laying a wreath was broadcast due to "a production mistake". which is just bizarre. like it was famously at remembrance Day which is famously in November and it's still November you even mentioned the loving wreath in that fucjin sentence arrrshaghgg maybe they think that if they acknowledge it was actually only the week before last then people will start thinking there's something odd going on? at least theyre putting the word mistake in scare quotes so there's a modicum of truth

Is the timing of this election going to play inyo the number of young registrations a bit? Like students will be away at uni rather than usually in the summer they're back home? Of course that doesn't explain the uptick across all demographics, but might temper the massive youth figures a bit.
