XMNN posted:I'm just highly sceptical of anything that these people are so pleased by It's obviously disappointing, but I think people were prepared for it - the important thing is Starmer pushed himself as a unifier, he made a lot of promises, and he needs to be held to them. The bad people are out to push a counternarrative that "we won" and "the leftist experiment is over" and in time it might be true, maybe that's what Starmer as leader really means - but right now they're trying to assert dominance and say they're in charge now, so expect a lot of performative celebrating and don't let them have it

Jesus Christ why are so many people so eager to feel angry and upset? Is there an actual reason for it, or is it because we are trained like Pavlov's loving dogs to just get angry at poo poo because it's the only emotion we can actually feel.

I'll absolutely give him a chance, if labour keeps the same policy direction then that's fantastic, but if we're back to being a fully melt party then I'm not wasting my time

Anger is the other side of care, I don't think you can care about things and not get angry about them. And there are a lot of people out there who are feeling very good who have absolutely no right to because they have done nothing with their lives but make other people miserable. Anger is an important thing to feel, but a difficult thing to discharge when the appropriate channels for it are denied you.

Feel a bit of a distance to the thread on Kier tbh, he was by all accounts a big player in making Labour put a second-ref in the manifesto and that was a loving electoral disaster choice and legit completely unprincipled and I Did Say but eh. Honestly have never felt so disconnected from politics. Congats UKMT libs you just achieved a big step towards rejoining your lovely EU and we have a guaranteed decade of daily torture for the disabled that will pay for it hope it feels good.

I think people were more concerned with how you "respect the result of the referendum" when the result of the referendum was maximum racism and also fascism please. Like you've seen the kind of poo poo leavers wanted, it's poo poo like the death penalty and national service and other dogshit like that. Which is why they all voted for the tories.

Chatting with my neighbour (from a distance) she brought up that she hadn't seen me outside clapping and she forgot on Friday so had a bit of a finger wagging from another neighbour for being late. I'm not doing it mainly because this town is overwhelmingly conservative voters so it comes off as an empty gesture, but gently caress me that its now an obligation.

Guavanaut posted:I stayed in a farmhouse in France once where some construction workers had built some kind of shrine in the attic, with a little wooden cross and woven basket with some items in. The attic was full of flies, and the only reason I found that shrine was that maggots were dropping down into one of the bedrooms from that part of the attic. That's crazy. Builders are among the last people I would expect to be dabbling in all paranormal type activities. Is this normal in France? What about car mechanics? Imagine going to get your tyres balanced and the bloke starts asking you if you believe in a god

They were French builders in Northern France. Not sure what kind of thing they had going on. Maybe they built a shrine for a saint's day and Extremely Prod Jesus cursed it with flies. Or the basket had some fruit in and it was just a natural process explainable by science. But I didn't see any fruit remains and it was still weird to be woken up by people shouting about rains of maggots.

That's actually fairly normal historically speaking, I think, people would often build small shrines or leave objects in buildings to ward off bad vibes and stuff.

Lot of posting in this thread recently. Lot going on. Lot of people staying at home. Hard to keep up with the thread. Please stop posting tia. Recent hospital updates from me, winegums, medic on the front line: - We are doing regular reviews of oxygen supplies as it's running short - Many operations normally done laproscopically ("keyhole" surgery) are now converted to open procedures (bigger cuts in the belly) as the gas machines used to inflate the abdomen are open systems and would pump covid-infected air through the operating theatre. means longer recovery/increased risk of post-op complications. - PPE advice is changing all the loving time. it's inconsistent between trusts/hospitals. - We keep running out of masks. So you get fit-tested for any given mask (involves putting it on, seeing if you can smell a solvent whilst wearing it. if not, it fits/keeps aerosol out), then a few days later we've ran out so now you need to be re-tested for a new mask. Our trust has ran out of the smelling aerosol because of the amount of testing we've done. Stay safe, goons

Like I was woken up with people shouting about maggots raining from the ceilings in one bedroom, got dressed, went into the attic, saw nothing, went through the crawl hole into the roof space above that room, and saw a wooden shrine, heard very loud buzzing, and was like "huh, this is a really loving weird place." But the most probable thing is that a 2000s builder left his packed lunch somewhere in the same space where a 1600s builder had left a small shrine.

baka kaba posted:yeah I saw stories about oxygen running out next week in some places. Is that something we could step up production of or what? most decent-sized hospitals have their own oxygen generation plants because nobody wants to be lugging the stuff around that much. The problem is that those plants will be set up to supply enough oxygen for a certain amount of beds and we're asking/going to be asking them to supply to lots more than that. This isn't as much of a problem as it sounds, as they're not running 24/7 - they maybe run a couple of hours overnight to refill the reserve tank(s), so production can keep up with the higher demands, but they then have a much smaller reserve to allow for breakdown/maintenance, and breakdowns will of course be more frequent because they're being asked to run much more - this is what happened at the hospital that had to close its A&E today, the plant failed and they needed to protect the reserve so no new admissions. Smaller hospitals, or older ones without plumbed-in oxygen, rely on deliveries of cylinders - while availability of the cylinders and the oxygen to fill them isn't an issue, the transport to move them in the higher amounts needed is a bottleneck.

Also the slight risk of someone blowing up a hospital because they decided to stack a tonne of oxygen cylinders in a cupboard somewhere.

Ahhh right, I thought maybe it was delivered in tankers or something, so you could just do that more. If it's all on-site and the only delivery setup is cylinders then yeah, that's not great

Apparently BOC do have oxygen tankers but that requires you have a giant high pressure/liquid oxygen tank somewhere on the site, which is... probably going to require a bit of clearance.

there's more bottlenecks than oxygen - any muscle relaxant for intubation for the coveted ventilators is being ignored then there's the unanswered personnel problem, next year is going to be rough, next few weeks will be even more of an eye-opener, and we'll act as if we could never foresee this situation at all

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:there's more bottlenecks than oxygen - any muscle relaxant for intubation for the coveted ventilators is being ignored Oh yeah, the simplification of "just get enough vents for everyone in the country to have one and we're fine" has shown so clearly how utterly dogshit our media is at trying to explain anything. They don't understand it, and a long time ago the media decided to fire any actual science/medicine correspondents who could talk about these issues properly. That's why you get Peston challenging a professor of infectious diseases on immunoglobulin testing as though they're equals in scientific discourse.

We live in a democracy, which means you have to agree with the electoral majority or be ostracised, scum. Wait no, that's why the US put in a load of constitutional protections against democracy turning into mob rule. The people voted for National Socialism and we're gonna give it to em in the true spirit of the left! Um wait. These big brained takes including Kier's pitch seem to hang on the Great British Public always being right, which makes sense for election purposes (in the same way the customer being right makes sense for business purposes), but actually we know that: 1) The Great British Public is consistently wrong about everything. 2) They consistently vote against their own interests If your electorate is hosed and out of touch with reality, what's the solution besides dictatorship or technocracy?

winegums posted:Lot of posting in this thread recently. Lot going on. Lot of people staying at home. My trust stopped doing mask fitting weeks ago to preserve their stock of masks, and everyone in authority been ignoring my repeated emails pointing to the HSE and PHE guidance and asking if they are really telling people to wear masks they haven't been fitted for. Spoiler: they are making people wear masks they haven't been fitted for, they just won't explicitly say so or put it in the guidance because then they might be liable when we die. Easier to just cancel all the mask fitting, tell people to use the masks, and ignore any questions about it. Then if anyone dies tell their family it was their own fault for wearing a mask they hadn't been fitted for, of course the trust never advocated anyone do that.
