Zebb means cock, apparently. Where's a good place to get a laptop? Have a £350 budget, want an i5, 8gb ram, other junk - could do with it sooner rather than later (apologies if this is the wrong thread)

feedmegin posted:My boss ordered a 32kg sack of flour from some place online. It's around, as long as you want a lot of it. Couldn't find paprika for the life of me, online shops not delivering any, co-op was cleaned out, so I ended up on amazon. "Oh, they do it in big tubs, but it's cheaper if I go to their ebay shop", then at ebay, "Oh, they do combined postage, but it's cheaper if I go to their website", on their website, "Oh if I spend over £25 it's free delivery!" £30 of random spices later... I don't think it was cheaper, but I have a lot of paprika and chilli on the way!

This is the lamest dystopia ever, what with flour being a black market good hidden under the counter and needing the secret free mason handshake just to get a few grams for an illicit home baked crumpet

Borrovan posted:My brother (front line NHS staff (&incidentally tested positive for covo!)) was saying that false negatives are way safer than false positives, based on the assumption that if you test positive you can just go back to work when you're better. If they get a negative result, his NHS Trust just keep testing until you come back positive. Yes, some people I know have had an extremely expensive run in with enforcers from a certain company because the 7 letter name of their company contained 3 letters the same as Bastard Company. I do some fairly basic website stuff for friends and relatives and I have to continually nag at them that 'no, you can't just copy a paragraph from wikipedia' and 'no you can't use that photo just because you found it on google, you have to get permission from the owner'. Sometimes it's very hard to track down the original owner of an image if it appears in multiple locations, and sometimes owners do not reply to requests so too bad, you have to use another image.

While all the other men under lockdown are shaving their heads as a means of re-establishing a sense of control I am going to let it grow out as long as possible so when people see me in person again I'll have moved right onto the 'glorious mane' length without suffering the 'terrible mullet' phase.

You don't necessarily have to do the mullet phase, you could have what I have whereby it sort of grows in on itself in an expanding cone out of the top of your head until it reaches critical mass and falls down.

Anyway gonna give my head a 3 all over tomorrow for the first time and see how it is I did mine a 6 all over. I want to try and fade it into around 3 around my ears but even using a load of big mirrors I found it so difficult seeing the back of my head properly. There is pretty much zero chance I will be able to round in a straight line. I wish i could just get the stuff away from my ears though.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:I would kill everyone in this thread for just one pack of that easy yeast. poo poo's like gold dust. Morrisons had flour yesterday, but they had literally stuck it in the thick paper bags they put pasties and stuff in and put a label on it, so I'm guessing they just used the flour they get in bulk for their bakers and decided to sell it in lieu of having any of their regular stock. We ordered yeast off Amazon and they sent us an extra pack for some reason, now we have too much yeast.

Is that also where the Manx originates from too, and is there a proposed PIE root? It sounds quite different from the rest. (Excluding Basque which is like the only pre-PIE language to survive in Europe.) It's interesting that there's no trace of that in Ireland itself (so says the mappe), as some of the last exclusively Gaelic speaking settlements in Ireland were supposedly Presbytarian Scots Highlanders in Ulster (but not in NI), who would have presumably said leann.

I would imagine that Ireland is probably more influenced by the english word than the more remote islands. Old dialects and words often only really survive in isolated places.Jose posted:Anyway I know we're all slating starmers poo poo response to covid but he has nothing on the democrat leaders They aren't even loving wrong lol.

Oh I meant to say - I listened to the latest UKMT podcast yesterday and I liked the format and learned a lot. Now I feel smart about Europe. Also if anyone else like me didn't fancy reading the 860 pages of the Labour report and wants to get all angried up again, the WDTATW boys read it and did a good episode going through it in depth where they brought up some stuff I hadn't heard about so far.

So a friend of mine and fellow Labour member has sent me a link about a live meeting for something called The 'Workers Party UK' called the death of Project Corbyn, hosted by George Galloway. What's a tactful way to tell her that it's best worth avoiding? Aside from being a different party, of course.
