Julio Cruz posted:how small are your burgers if you're getting 3 1/3 per 8oz ribeye About 75g or 2.6 oz per patty I'd guess. I got 9 patties out of the batch last night from the three 8oz steaks. A 1/4 lb burger is 4oz right?

Borrovan posted:Do the maths. They already said that they roll 'em up small and smash 'em out thin, which is Correct for a smash burger & you can double up for a little bigger than a quarter pounder yes I did the maths actually that's the point personally I really don't see the point on using ribeye on something so small and thin it's going to dry out as soon as it even looks at a hot pan and arguing that the equivalent of a <2.5oz burger is going to cost you £8 anywhere is just flat out wrong

Well we are now banned from travelling to the USA from Monday and it's unlikely to be in good shape until quite a bit later so they may cancel on you first? Wait and see if you get some compensation unless there's a limit to when you can cancel.

Prince John posted:The reason given is that if the first wave peaks when predicted, the second wave will arrive in winter, when the NHS is least able to cope. The second wave of the Spanish flu was also much more deadly than the first, although I've not seen any evidence either way to suggest whether there's reason to think the same will be true with COVID-19. I've heard that arguement but i dunno the problem seems to be lack of ventilators so surely spreading out the disease which will require ventilators to save 10% of those infected is the smart choice. We could even be prepared for the next wave so we could save more lives by having more beds/ventilators ready.

So on the afternoon of my first day of coronavirus-enforced working from home, my home PC collapsed. I think the SSD has failed, but I was vaguely thinking about getting a new machine anyway, so I guess that’s happening. Anyone know if this is an extremely bad time to buy a PC because of the virus? And can recommend someone who can ship a decent rig at a reasonable price quickly?

Angrymog posted:I'm a bit concerned that Bardeh has seen two people collapse today. Please stay away from Sheerness. Same thing happened near me this morning. Somebody collapsed in the vegetable aisle of the local Lidl, cracked his head, blood and paramedics everywhere. My boss is due to fly out to Tenerife for a holiday tomorrow. He's going ahead with it because he doesn't want to lose the 1.5k he spent on it. I don't know if he's booked to fly with Jet2 or not, so this can go one of two ways. Either he was booked to fly with them and I don't get left to my own devices for a week, or he does fly and gets stuck there for who knows how long when Spain inevitably locks down the country. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Communist Thoughts posted:Bojo: our pandemic plan is to have everyone become infected with the lethal virus First off it's very like Corbyn to want to see proof before blustering about things, we thought that was the right approach with Novichok. Second of all, there is unfortunately a trade off situation here in that disruption of every day life will also cost lives, just like mass evacuations in the face of looming disasters cause injuries and sometimes their own deaths. We do them because we can see a clear benefit to the action rather than the alternatives but there's no costless solution. The Tory approach is flawed with a lot of assumptions but alternative courses of action will have their own assumptions and whatever the course of action taken, it's vital that the public understands what they're agreeing to or being signed up to. Boris hosed up his conference by saying 'Well we've decided people are going to die and we're not going to do anything yet.' as if they just didn't care enough to act and they don't but an honest discussion and change of course needs public awareness of the facts to increase before an alternative can be agreed. For the moment we attack the herd immunity plan on its many open flaws, we then hear the modelling data they used and point out the bullshit in it and construct a better plan with public agreement.

The second part of your post is straight nonsense sorry, the assumptions made in our fun herd immunity plan are not equivalent to the assumptions made in the tried and tested plans being enacted by countries who know how to deal with pandemics. That's tory PR garbage. The last bit is eh, cowardly and time wasting bullshit that's not going to result in a public agreed plan lead by some craven labour mps. The plan is obvious horseshit. We can nitpick the fake plan while we call it out for the murderous negligence that it is. It's so loving demoralising to see the whole establishment come together, literally like never before in our lifetimes, to softly softly this loving madness. Corbyn is supposed to be the guy who picks people over the economy and nope he's gonna thinkyface at this poo poo. Whats even the risk to labour and Corbyn at this point? A catastrophic election loss?

Communist Thoughts posted:The second part of your post is straight nonsense sorry, the assumptions made in our fun herd immunity plan are not equivalent to the assumptions made in the tried and tested plans being enacted by countries who know how to deal with pandemics. That's tory PR garbage. The covid 19 response plan is going to require all 66 million of us to act probably very differently, it's essential that we all understand and agree to the basic logic of it. The Tories failure to understand that is why they thought the herd immunity strategy would be okay and why they already had to clarify that action will eventually be taken more similarly to other countries. Any other plan is going to have to overcome that same level of skeptism and potential for disobedience so openness, public buy in and knowledge is key. Covid 19 is out there, it's already killed people, there's no plan that will save us all. What we can and will demand is a plan that consciously sacrifices things like the 'economy' to protect more lives and while such abstract things are fine and we should be issuing demands now (ahem, https://www.rs21.org.uk/2020/03/13/acting-on-covid-19/) the national plan is not something that can just be cobbled together from looking at other countries from afar, it's looking at what the authorities know and think will happen and the strategy forming from it.

Also labour don't have access to an epidemiology department to make their own plan because that's a government office, and they're politicians, clearly not qualified to do it themselves.

Bardeh posted:Just went to Rochester, high street seemed normal if relatively quiet, but then there was an older woman who'd collapsed in the doorway of a Holland and Barrett and an ambulance zoomed up and took her away. In all likelihood just a fall, but my anxiety levels shot through the roof and we came straight home. The guy in the vape shop was bug-eyed and talking about his cousin in the SAS (lol) who told him we're getting locked down in 3 days and not to drink tap water. I'm not usually a particularly anxious person but gently caress, I think I gotta take a break from reading/listening to the news. What the gently caress is it with people working in vape shops being conspiracy theorists?

As a general note yes, simply taking in new facts without having the knowledge, time or context to interpret them is going to only cause worry rather than clarity. gently caress there's a political theory of panic and time under capitalist society in this. Are bubbles not simply psychological reaffirmation groups but also necessary mental health protection to allow us to disregard the infinite sources of updates which we are now connected to? If so how can we signal to other bubbles in a collaborative way that we are possessing worthwhile knowledge and contain people of value and friendship? In periods of class struggle that was simple enough for socialist groups to do so as they would be organising and leading strikes to help others but modern day charity intervention doesn't carry that same impact because it's a top down saviour model rather than joint struggle. These mutual aid groups getting set up are going to be loving fire. namesake fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Mar 14, 2020 |

I had a breakdown a few years ago and was put on antidepressants and beta blockers. I’d wake up every morning and check Twitter and BBC to see where had been attacked or bombed, and somehow relate myself to that location. It was a bad time, I got out of that habit but I feel myself going back towards it. I feel like I need to know everything. Which isn’t very helpful.
