I went to the dentist because this is probably the safest it'll be for a while, but you could not drag me to a pub. (Or a gym, but that has always been true.)

Could be talking bollocks but I had a vague idea you don't need a proper driving license to drive in the army? Although something huge like that you'd imagine they might have put some training in place.

You need a special army driving licence, I once worked for a guy who did the tests, he used to laugh about teargassing people during their tests Idk if it was true or not but charming guy nonetheless

You'll need the equivalent training courses to HGV to operate something like that on the roads. Which of course doesn't stop HGV drivers from doing stuff like that. Not sure if the separate BFG Driving Licence is still a thing, but the army used to teach driving to a lot of other public bodies (fire brigades with large vehicles, Defender training for the GPO etc.)

To be entirely honest right now is probably the lowest amount of cases it's going to be for a long time. Again and again around the world opening schools is the single biggest factor in cases taking back off.  E.g. Spain, red arrow points to school openings and bars/restaurants were about two weeks before that. The UK has largely stayed at the low-ish amount of cases it has due to people frankly not trusting the government and imposing their own social distancing measures but the eat out scheme has broken down a lot of that resistance and schools reopening will kick it into overdrive.

No joke I actually spent a little while after reading that tweet thinking about some kind of cleric that worships the free market and quotes mises articles at people. Which would basically be indistinguishable from a libertarian and that's the joke, except that the invisible hand is literal because the market god has literal invisible hands.

My sister and her daughter are terrified about my great niece (aged 4) going back to school this week for all the reasons we've previously mentioned - bubbles, siblings in other bubbles, in other schools, adult school staff and so on (my niece is in the 'vulnerable adult' category).

For those you can it's still a terrible idea due to fees and tax. They will charge you up to 30% commission and then the tax man will hit you for 55% of the rest. If you took out the whole £11.5k you could end up with as little as £3.5k of it.

Something I was wondering about this chart: I can't find anything in Google as everything seems to return stuff on what Imperial College is doing in response to coronavirus now or subsequent research or articles analysing the original research. I'd like to know how they decided on the October up-swing - did they factor in a temporary lockdown then schools opening and Rishi having people eating Nando's for half price?

I have to assume that graph assumes no further intervention. Because still the majority of people haven't been exposed to it, so either you have to keep doing lockdowns (if you don't go the full distance to actually eradicate it the first time) or you let it go absolutely wild and pile the dead in the streets.

Very surprised to see the government treat viral outbreaks the way I treat maintaining my car. Which is to say do the bare minimum until it breaks again rather than stumping up front to fix it properly. Of course I on the other hand would probably do the latter if I had my own money printer.

The Question IRL posted:I saw this cool article floating around on Twitter today.  quote:The exemplary figures of evil today are not ordinary consumers who pollute the environment and live in a violent world of disintegrating social links, but those who, while fully engaged in creating conditions for such universal devastation and pollution, buy their way out of their own activity, living in gated communities, eating organic food, taking holidays in wildlife preserves, and so on. It does make me think about the stuff that I do that hundreds of millions of others couldn't, even if it's not hide in an escape pod level. I still aim to be self sufficient in whiskey and to eliminate 90% of what I recycle within 5 years though. Completely unrelated, I hoped this was a troll but it seems legit:

Given that we're not getting pay rises or bonuses for at least the next couple of years, they're going to have to work really hard to convince me to come back to the office. Still pondering joining Prospect, but not sure how much use they are if you're not working at a union shop.
