Bobstar posted:That's a good analogy, because in the parking space example, if gatekeeping needs to exist (due to scarcity, as you say), then it should exist at the blue-badge-issuing level, not the yelling at people for not being sufficiently paralyzed level when they park their blue-badged car. But the equivalent for masks would be hanging a blue badge around someone's neck on a cable lock, or some other kind of "I'm disabled" marker, which would be...not great, so it's much harder. I suppose the idea is that the type of gammon who is going to go around yelling that they won't be muzzled by the authoritarian socialist Boris Johnson won't want to wear a lanyard saying "I have an underlying condition" either, but it's not ideal. But yeah random members of the public shouldn't be judging how disabled someone is or isn't, but I'm still staying 2m away from non-masked people. e: 3:20 smoke weed er'ry daylight savings.

Miftan posted:Package arrived today in good condition. To be honest it could've probably come in a smaller box without the red filling, but I don't know how easy/cost effective it is for you to get a bunch of different boxes. Can't wait to try it. Iirc you only had the vegan option? Be very interested in your thoughts on it. That batch came out more like tablet (which is odd given how literally /every/ other one did- I suspect the different types of fat in the base ingredients are the reason). And yeah, I did feel your box was a bit too empty lol. Basically about 95% of my orders are for 5+ bags, hence the larger boxes- also the brown boxes are an order of magnitude sturdier than the white ones from previous batches, but because they’re from thicker cardboard they’re also bigger. Also, I just realised. Quite by accident I genuinely have created what is effectively UKMT.xls, just from organising my orders over the months..

People who can't wear a mask are entirely reliant on social distancing and hygiene to stay safe, so you keeping your distance is helpful to them as well as you.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Anyone know anything about 3-D printing? This is possible, though I haven't got that far myself. You can use Blender (open source 3D programme) and Python to script any shape you want. https://www.mertl-research.at/ceonwiki/doku.php?id=software:kicad:3d_package_with_blender I imagine there's a plugin that might make it more straightforward - maybe Extra Objects? My knowledge of maths isn't good enough to know if this what you want, but as every point on a 3d model can be (is) represented by a set of coordinates and these coordinates can be manipulated from other formulas I imagine this would work. In terms of 3D printing, you can easily export files from Blender to be used in 3D printing. There's various guides online as well as functions within Blender to make each shape more efficient (such as make a mesh wireframe then expanding each edge to create a honeycomb type structure for example) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzcNH5pvd7Y justcola fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Jul 24, 2020 |

Also the Prime Minister literally wrote in a book that Jews are obsessed by money, but we don't talk about that.

Genuinely, one of the requirements was a suitably large and equipped kitchen with the facilities and storage space I need as orders keep growing month on month. And the place we’re looking at has a post office closer to it than my London pad does (I live on an estate that despite being in the middle of a prosperous suburb manages to be almost perfectly equidistant- 1.1 miles- from almost all points of interest, shops and services).

A few months back I got a new housemate and he's been doing my head in. He sits in his room all day playing games and shouting to his pals on his mic, never cleans up and the rare times I see him he talks and talks about anime or games or whatever, there's no real dialogue. I realised this morning a lot of what I dislike in him is what I dislike in myself and have made attempts to improve on over time, so to see him totally revel in his lifestyle is at odds with my own ideas of something I wanted to move away from. So realising this I am trying to show him more compassion and understanding and be more reflective on why I wanted to move away from that sort of thing in the first place. I feel like this is the right way but was wondering if there's something I'm missing. I've tried a lot to do more stuff together, but if I cook us tea he just takes it to his room or if I suggest some activity to do he's always busy. I really want to get along with him as we live together, but I feel I'm putting all the effort in and he just doesn't care (apologies for the e/n type stuff but it's getting to the stage where I try to be out of the house as much as possible which doesn't help during a pandemic)

If he doesn't want to change, then there's a good chance he won't end up doing anything differently, however hard you try. I agree that if there's a good opportunity to have some interaction with him, it's a good way of building a relationship with him, but that's a two-way street

3d printing revolution chat: Thanks folks. I just need to know whether it's possible not actually do it (though that would be cool!) Corbyn being sued chat: It's preemptive at the moment. I read somewhere - maybe even on here - that one of the reasons Corbyn hasn't gone to court over any of the BS to date despite the desire of many to see him take such action is concern over the cost. I see a lot of anti-Corbyn comments that he is 'rich' and doesn't need the money to fight a court case yada yada. As he probably does give a lot of his money away and as the 'wealth' is that house which apparently the neighbour's home is valued at £1m after lots of extension work so the deduction made is that Corbyn can afford a £1m house (which probably cost about £25k when he bought it) and is therefore very wealthy, while deliberately ignoring the fact that these sort of legal cases can run to £'00000s if they're not won. The fund shows that he has the support of people because if he is sued he won't have the choice about going to court or not and may still end up with a ginormous bill. Flatmate chat: I think you are within your rights to ask him to wash up his stuff, basic hygiene stuff. When I lived in a houseshare (7 of us and the kitchen consisting of a cooker on the landing and a fridge in the living room) one of the inhabitants never washed up, so one of the other guys took to collecting all that guys dirty pans etc, going in 'dirty guy's' room, pulling back his bed covers and dumping the dirty pans all over his sheets. It escalated from there on in. I wouldn't push him for 'small talk' chat responses. Just be pleasant. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 13:50 on Jul 24, 2020 |

Did you have any conversations with him about the household dynamic before he moved in? I'm asking this specifically because (pre-pandemic) some of my housemates would have probably described me like that, but from my perspective between an office job and a pretty active social life the times that I was actually home I would absolutely just want to sit in my room, have some peace, enjoy my hobbies/game and have a break from the effort that being social requires. I guess my point is try and establish if you both have the expectations before you make any grand gestures/efforts towards him, else you might just end up annoying him and making him uncomfortable in his home. Your housemates are your housemates, your friends are your friends. There might be some crossover over time, but it shouldn't be assumed that anybody who moves in is going to develop into a full friendship. (That's absolutely not to say that you don't also have the same rights to be comfortable in your home etc ... Balance) Edit: the pan stuff is gross though, if he's not maintaining basic hygiene standards in a shared house then the rest of you should definitely have a word with him. Probably best to so that together (he'll feel singled out but he won't point his anger at an individual housemate) blunt fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Jul 24, 2020 |

Saying 'beyond the pale' is antisemitic because one etymology is the Pale of Settlement in Russia. Beyond the pale there are Jews. But as Miftan once said, if you weren't allowed to say anything that had antisemitic overtones in the 19th century, that would cover pretty much everything. Being unable to understand metaphor or art was a common antisemitic trope in the 19th century, to the extent that you'd get forewords in books saying "this book is not for the Jew" and if any Jews complained then haha that just proves that they couldn't understand that this was just a metaphor for "not for people who can't appreciate metaphor or art" checkmate, but that doesn't mean that if I say that Stephane Savary can't appreciate metaphor then I'm being antisemitic. Except it probably does now if you're on the left.
