Angepain posted:the real Curse Of Ham is when an old white man swears at you about being willing to nuke things lol'd And yeah I didn't give my previous the right emphasis, I definitely think it's used today as a full on racism defense, just thought given some of the things theologians have historically come up with it may not be a completely false origin. e; £112 billion is 12 billion more than the £100 billion quid the government is spending (on either Boris boondoggles or padding their mate's bank accounts). Would genuinely be surprised of 12 billion of that goes anywhere useful

This Page3 show on Ch4 is surreal. At one point a quarter of the UK population "read" the Sun everyday. So that's probably every other British male regularly salivating over nonce pictures...

She sent the sternly-worded email yesterday evening and around lunchtime today got a reply from her boss in a tone I'd describe as business grovelling apologising for the misunderstanding and asking her to instead take eight days of holiday a couple of weeks from now, with uncharacteristically extensive quotes from company policy that implied he'd received a very serious talking-to from HR and/or the general manager for his cavalier loving about. Nice.

They're driven by dogma and ideology rather than duplicity. Not that that changes the real impact of what they do and what should change their thinking.

They never gave the slightest poo poo about anti-semitism as an objective issue. They were just doing a smear campaign. And honestly it bums me out just in a really earnest let's-be-nice way, there were party members spouting hateful poo poo about Jewish people and the right wing of the party deliberately conspired to keep those people as members for longer, they deliberately delayed the expulsions and allowed those people to claim the sociopolitical credibility of a major party, that's a big loving deal they actively promoted the political legitimisation of people they knew were anti-semites it's loving disgusting.

The headline calling Brass Eye "out of touch" is just perfect. justcola posted:https://www.nhsbt.nhs.uk/british-bone-marrow-registry/ PSA: As the bone marrow registries contain almost exclusively white people it's particularly good if non-white people can sign up, and even better if you're a combination of different ethnicities because that generates the odd HLA combinations that are difficult to match.

knox_harrington posted:The headline calling Brass Eye "out of touch" is just perfect. It's not even as if that type of article was rare. I remember people sharing a dozen different examples of the "She's a big girl now" type stories, often when young celebrities or celebrities' young kids turned 16. It certainly was a tabloid staple and I'm sure there are still recent examples because the underlying culture hasn't changed.

German app source code is here, so I don't doubt that he could download some source code and make some cosmetic tweaks, or ask someone else to do so. All the infrastructure to get between that app and the NHS issuing contact trace details is conveniently Not Jimmy's Problem. e: That's just the general documentation, but they have said all source is Apache license in those docs. e2: Here we go, iOS app, Android app, and a bunch of server side stuff on the main page. itt we make our own contact tracing application.

Actually, thinking about it, Jimmy's suggestion is the polar opposite of an Elon Musk Child Coffin Cave Rescue Playset, because it's a proven, sensible alternative to a pie-in-the-sky "world-beating" solution that probably won't work and is backed by a complete idiot. It still has that same self-aggrandizing Twitter tech-messiah energy, however.
