Regarde Aduck posted:How so? IDK, not so much in the immediate term, but in the long term I am suuuuuper duper concerned that things never even get to the point of going back to normal, let alone being the jumping off point to smash capitalism that we're all hoping for. Giving the police even more sweeping stop-and-search powers, taking absolute control over everyone's movements, and NORMALISING that... is pretty scary. I'd've been a lot less scared if they hadn't waited until it was politically convenient. Jesus that's a snipe. 197 is the smalled prime number that is the sum of 7 consecutive prime numbers.

i'm still weirdly optimistic about the long term post-corona world here it's kinda callous but tory voters decimated, government responsible for one of the greatest peacetime catastrophes in generations in a way they simply can't spin or hide from, the mask has slipped entirely from the entire parasite class, workers know just how little their lives are worth. I know hope is a lie, but...

Loving the spin that it was actually the fault of the bad public the brave boy boris had to act. If only they had all been perfect rational actors we wouldn't have needed any governance. That has to have been from one of Dom Cum's books.

XMNN posted:lol if the UKs digital infrastructure crumbles hours into the lockdown I've been saying this for a while. Once everyone is trying to do online working from home, online lessons, streaming dodgy movies, won't take much for it to crash. I read netflix are cutting the streaming quality of their movies to help cope.

Our local DIY store which had announced extra long opening hours just this weekend (presumably on the assumption all these folk suddenly shut in would be doing tons of DIY) just posted a message saying they're closing for the duration. I was wondering, so many injuries need hospital attention are caused by DIYers, unnecessary strain on the NHS. Maybe you can get a light in a supermarket? Or is it one of those fluorescent tube jobs?

I think Netflix did it because the EU asked, but the ISPs have been insisting it's not necessary. Honestly they cope with every normal weeknight evening just fine and there's no reason this should be that different.

Guavanaut posted:Loving the spin that it was actually the fault of the bad public the brave boy boris had to act. This whole thing has to be intentional - these lockdown measures had to happen, there was no getting around it, and the slide from "everything's cool we're definitely not going to be doing that" to "we're doing that" through a bunch of stages happened in such a tiny window that you can't pass it off as organically responding to an evolving situation The whole thing's been entirely performative, just so they can put the blame on someone else (and kill a lot of people and put a ton of strain on the NHS by delaying for PR)

On a semi-related note, there used to be an online Scrabble knockoff (not Words with Friends or anything on Facebook, a standalone website) that I was thinking of using to provoke some family arguments but I can't find it now, does anyone remember it/can anyone suggest something similar?

AFAICT the one I've signed up for is just a live showing of a person running apub quiz, which you participate in at home, I don't know how it'll work beyond that.

That's about 30-35% of the staff in those massive bank buildings before you even get on to the rest of the list. Nothing in the world is more important to regulators than their regulations.

Nah the bank buildings are empty apart from security guards and some computer touchers. It's the first time I ever remember looking out at 8pm and seeing more lights on in the residential blocks than the commercial ones.
