Can you get withdrawal symptoms from chocolate? I've stopped having chocolate from new years and I've been waking up at odd times with stomach aches that come and go, is this normal?

I love some Jam but Corbyn speaking on the Iran thing just provokes countless "Hey you took money from Iran's government" Which is true and was a bad idea. I know he's being genuine but he's pretty compromised here.

Union membership isn't any kind of commitment at all, just join, and if you feel like leaving, you can (but shouldn't anyway because seriously wtf). The game developers' union is part of IWGB, who are way more radical than most traditional unions so a good shout, but far from perfect (not a great democratic structure, but eh neither are most other unions). Cardiff person should join both Unite & IWW imo - not that I know anything about Unite or charity unions, but the best union organiser I know is an IWW officer based in Cardiff and works for Unite for his day job so if you dual card you'll definitely have whatever support you need. Also if it's not a well unionised industry, IWW's got a Your Job Your Union campaign going on atm (largely instigated by Cardiff people) so if you feel like any workplace organising yourself you will be well supported.

Pretty sure that's a false equivalence for someone accepting ten thousand pounds from a dictatorship speaking in their defense. Like it was a really really bad thing to do in retrospect. I thought everyone was in agreement about that already. Criticism of US action against Iran becomes less credible with Corbyn as proxy.

Corbyn taking money from the Iranian government certainly isn't a great look, but then he was deeply compromised anyway having accepted yearly payments to work on behalf of the increasingly corrupt and internationally condemned British regime for decades now.

I mean yeah, why not? As long as you're not chucking them in ditches. The Co-op here usually lets elderly people in the village take them all the way home instead of lugging bags, and that gets repeat custom because they're not going to take it on the bus to go to Tesco.

Used to do that when we lived across the road from the supermarket. Every now and again somebody would go round the gardens and collect them back up.

When Corbyn went on Iranian TV, what sort of line was he actually pushing? He generally seems the type that's willing to talk to anyone, while holding to his own views of peaceful cooperation. I remember one time this came up, he pointed out that he also regularly goes on the BBC despite not agreeing with them either.

And now "the west" has taken action against Iran for mainstream justified reasons and Corbyn is speaking up in defense of Iran. Just imagine that it was Boris Johnson and he got money from an American private healthcare company for wholly unrelated reasons and now he wants to drop his 2 cents on the best approach to the NHS is.

OwlFancier posted:I always wondered how those worked, do they put something in the pavement to set it off? Is it just like a big magnet or something that pulls a pin out in the shoe that goes over the wheel? The line is an electromagnet, when the trolley goes over it it pulls a magnet on a spring-loaded lever down, which releases the (also spring-loaded) half-shell that rotates down to cover the wheel. Stopping the half shell from moving with a bit of tape gets you round that (the shell locks in the closed position but can be released with the right tool), as does lifting the wheel a couple of feet. There's a similar mechanism that just locks the wheel directly if you take the trolley onto a travelator (and of course unlocks as you reach the end of it), and there's some smart ones based on RFID that lets shops lock the trolleys at the door if they've not been through the tills (and also detect you trying to tamper with it), but they're expensive enough that I think they only get used in places like Costco where there's serious high-ticket items.

Bobby Deluxe posted:We have the same, which means there's a certain way along our local rat bastard street where the radius cuts out and there's always a pileup of trolleys across the pavements. Our place used to have flooding until they dredged the local river. 27 tons they took out, a poo poo load of shopping trolleys. All from the rat bastard street that even the taxis wont go into.
