My limited understanding of Irish politics, based entirely on Ireland Simpsons Fans tweets, leads me to believe that this is very unlikely to happen. Also:

No matter what the outcome, I'm quitting the party after the vote. My reasoning?

My membership fee costs somewhere in the order of playing the lottery each week. Over the next five years, I feel this has a better chance of changing my circumstances. Given the charitable work they do, the circumstances of others too.

Labour's position should be to steal the unborn fetuses from the wombs of Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh people and use the stem-cells to keep English pensioners alive for a few more years.

They'd lose a couple votes on the margins but overall I think they'd gain a couple seats from it.

How would they sell a policy of sparing those Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh fetuses the pain of existence in order to force it onto the English as a positive?

I live right on the Irish Sea and my flat is facing the River Mersey, we get bad wind at the best of times so this is gonna be hilarious. Jose remember when you visited me and there was such a horrific draft through the place? It's still pretty bad ughhhh

Luckily I'm dying from a fever and vomiting and stuff so In not going into work tomorrow. Earplugs in and I'm gonna sleep through the whole storm yay

Thanks! I'll be fine I hope. Just feeling like shite right now cos I'm at the sweating like gently caress stage of the fever (which tbf is a million times better than the horrible chills). I just get mega pain in my calves when I have a fever and that is annoying me the most right now ughhhh.


Also when I'm ill I end up craving challah and salt despite having not eaten it since I was like 5yrs old and on a school trip to a synagogue :shrug: Someone make some for me pleaaaasseeee

I had my dressing gown on, a duvet and then 3 blankets (one of which was wrapped around my head) and a hot water bottle. I just could not get warm at all. Decided to have a scalding hot shower to try and help but even with it cranked up I just couldn't feel the heat and still was shivering!

It did work in the end though, I got back in the blankets and had a cup of tea and now this is happening lol. Had to add some ice to a flannel to apply to my head.

It's freakishly warm here! 10C outside and nearly 24C inside with no heating on!
It's raining and I think it's windy from the sounds but not extremely so - can't tell through the window as outside my windows is quite a sheltered bit of garden.

Edit: 30 year olds post date the pound note now.

I'm nearly 40 and dimly remember them. I also like how it rolls when speaking of "hundreds of notes".

The 20MHz bandwidth is a compatibility setting for old stuff that don't understand new(ish) protocol stuff.

Using a wifi extender usually effectively halves your connection speed, since half the width is used for extender/router traffic. This isn't simple to fix without replacing one of the wifi links with a wired connection--even if you get a wank router with dozens of antennae, that could mean it picks up more of other people's wifi, which would restrict the bandwidth it can use.

5G wifi has much shorter range, since the higher frequency stuff can't dodge walls and stuff as well as 2.4g. This is actually a plus in most urban settings, since that means it doesn't have to negotiate bandwidth with as many neighbors. Also it's got a lot more channels than 2.4g since higher frequency enables denser traffic.

Your phone's very probably got a better antenna than a usb 3g router--also, it could support phone traffic frequency bands which your router can't. This is a bigger issue with LTE, but there are lots of 3g variants as well.

I'm reasonably certain the above's correct, but it was a long time ago I had to bother with any of this stuff

This is pretty much spot on from my time in comms. Meshes work by having two antennae, a local internal net for routing traffic along the mesh and the external antennae that you connect to and NAT back to the main node through. Depending on config you can run this second net as a guest network if you'd prefer and just have regular access points, but you're much better off here having each AP on a wired LAN connection due to the information above. A good mesh has either a wired LAN connection or is directly connected to the internet connection on the master node, so that the mesh wifi can take care of traffic from the remote access points.
