Hannibal is fantastic. It's characters and events you know, but played completely differently and surprisingly. And from the sublime to... From upthread, CSI: Miami is worth watching because it goes completely insane. The first season or two are fairly low-key; David Caruso even does some acting. But then his ego kicks in, and Horatio Caine goes from serious cop-slash-scientist to a sunglasses delivery system who blows away more bad guys per episode than Dirty Harry in a demented wonderland of glass and painfully oversaturated colours while everyone around him stands open-mouthed at how awesome he is. Two shining moments: The opener where a guy is shot, falls from a balcony and is impaled on an ice sculpture. Nice Coroner Lady says something like "shot in broad daylight at a crowded party? That's cold." Horatio: "It's as cold..." [dons sunglasses] "...as ice." [darts offscreen] YYEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH! Horatio is in Rio for some bullshit reason, and is ambushed by a drug lord's goons. The (very cool) Apollo Four Forty remix of Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western score Man With Harmonica starts up, and he stares them out for a long period before blowing them all away in slo-mo, then pointing his gun at the camera and saying "This is justice. Miami style" and firing. YYEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH! (He then gets back to Miami in about 20 minutes flat.) This was somehow the most popular show in the entire world for a while.

Hearing from an extremely well informed journalist friend that there’s a complete lockdown of London from Friday. No idea what form this will take though.

Realistically shutting down public transport altogether (temporarily freeing Watford) and having the same sort of system as France and Spain where plod will shout at you to get indoors and/or arrest you if you're not on the way to the shops (experience may cary depending on skin colour).

Wachter posted:I don't think she's in a union, and I won't specify the company except to say that it's a supermarket chain that should loving know better. I actually suspected as much because I worked for Tesco when I was younger and I encountered some utterly incompetent fuckwits in management positions who would try to pull poo poo like this with people. Who exactly sent her home and did she get anything in writing? If not she should still be at work as usual and my advice would be to turn up at her normal times and stay there - even just sit in a break room or whatever - until they give her something in writing to say they consider her to be unfit for work. Hopefully that would be enough to get a sick line from her GP. Definitely see if you can get in touch with Citizens' Advice or a labour relations charity if you have one locally. It might be a different story if she was at a call centre or something, but even then they would have to go about this in the right way. Her employer has a responsibility to accommodate her if she considers herself fit for work and find her alternative work in the place temporarily. You absolutely can't just turf someone out of a place of work because you don't like how they sound

What does a lockdown mean for people who can't work from home (ie: me), or is that one of those trifling issues Pfeff won't have thought about yet? I've got about a month's pay in my savings but if I'm going to be getting the equivalent of SSP for the forseeable that's uh, not going to last me very long at all

Guavanaut posted:52% rears it's head again. I hope this is being made much worse by the policy of basically testing nobody unless they are literally already dying in a hospital? I assume most people have seen the Lancet editor's letter/comments, but this bit really sums it up for me quote:After weeks of inaction, the government announced a sudden U-turn on Monday, declaring that new modelling by scientists at Imperial College had convinced them to change their initial plans. Many journalists, led by the BBC, reported that “the science had changed” and so the government had responded accordingly. But this interpretation of events is wrong. The science has been the same since January. What changed is that government advisers at last understood what had really taken place in China. this has been a gently caress up from start to finish, and I hope that we manage to get through this without too many excess deaths and that there is some sort of inquiry into how the gently caress this could possibly have been allowed to happen I also hope whoever wrote that article about how anyone who question the government is a danger to society burns in hell (even more so than your average telegraph columnist will)

Huh. Well it's not like he can win anyway. gently caress, I'm having one at the moment. I've been mostly ok today, but this afternoon's gotten bad. Just for once I'd like that voice in my head that says 'all is lost' to not be right. It sucks when the predictions sadbrains make are accurate, and it also sucks that everyone else assumes that I'm the crazy one for accepting realistic predictions

Allegedly everything but supermarkets shut and they only open at set hours with Army guard, all transport shut, cars banned. If you are on the streets you have to say where you are going. I.e. they are trying the Wuhan protocol. Its the only thing shown to have worked, but its severe.

Oh I understand that part I think, sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant what happens in terms of.... wages, for those of us in non-supermarket retail? (I work in a builders warehouse which I'm assuming will count as non-essential)
