Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Yeah, kids still transmit the disease, they just don't tend to show symptoms. Hence why piling them back into schools is such an insanely risky thing to do. I've been watching TV news god help my soul and it was amazing to me how this never came up. Like zero discussion of how kids can still be carriers even if they don't get sick and barely a fleeting mention of how teachers/cleaners/office staff were all going into these environments.

The Question IRL posted:There's a second factor. Which is they prefer moving water, but when it comes to non moving water they favour rain water (even stagnant pond water) over tap water where they smell chlorine. I got one for mine and then had to get another, much bigger one because the idiot dog kept emptying it in one go. Now the cat completely ignores the one I bought him and drinks from the dog's bowl just because he's an arsehole who will take anything at all the dog has just because. Oh and the (good) cat fountains should get rid of the chlorine pretty quickly between the agitation and the carbon filter.

Well don't you know that adults who work in schools actually live in cupboards in the schools. They come out around 730am-8am in the morning to start the day's tasks, and every evening go back into the cupboard. They have no personal lives, no families or friends. Any fule kno who reads MSM comments about 'lazy teachers' 'long holidays' 'when I was at school 50 kids sat in a straight line, never misbehaved and lurned (sic )good" (I keep banging on about total lack of consideration of adults working in schools on FB. I can feel the 'unfollows' going on  )

I think I've said this several times before but moving back in with boomers who get all of their info from the BBC news bulletin has been an extremely educational and genuinely depressing experience, and the idea that they're probably more representative of the average citizen than I am is not comforting.

Andrexodus II Last I read they were saying it looks like kids are more susceptible to the heart symptoms than the flu but if course we won't really know until much later. On the one hand it's not hard proof, on the other its your HEART. Can't imagine how parents are being blasé about that risk. Lying there feeling my heart run slow and thinking welp, better write out my will wasn't the most fun bit of Corona, dunno about you

One of the doctors at work has apparently tested positive for covid and I spent a good few hours last week in a 2mx2m office with her. It doesn't count as a contact to trigger self isolation as we were both wearing masks the whole time (also half the nurses and doctors who worked last week would also have to go off which isn't sustainable!) but I feel veeeeeery uncomfortable about it and really don't want to go back on the wards again tomorrow  My colleagues are all very chill about it because they were working in the hospital through the first peak so got used to it then I think. I started in July and there's not been many covid cases at all so I'm kinda freaking out!

I can see it being manageable like that. Still a ball-ache. I have a mate who runs a business doing computery networking stuff in Manchester but some of his big clients are in London, so he regularly travels there by train. I'm not sure if it's on the scale of a couple of times a week but I guess maybe he could be classed as a commuter?

Getting dunks on him and calling him a useless oval office is cathartic, but the whole establishment still conspires to keep people like him in power and largely inoculated from the consequences of their actions...especially since he discovered that one weird trick of loving up and just not apologizing or stepping down or firing people.

As Tony donors pop up a bit in the thread, for a bit of fun I thought I'd have a look at the Electoral Commission website to see who was who Just having a quick look, there was 2707 donations since 01/01/2019 averaging 20k and totalling 59m. The biggest donations are from JCB services and JC Bamford Excavators totally 3.2m+. Beyond that it starts getting a bit fishy and murky. Ideally I'd like to be able to export all the government tenders done in the last 21 months and just match names up in a dumb way, but can't work out how to do that on the government tender website. On the other hand its fun just reading through and finding out Flamingo Land donated 50k. Or a Russian banker called Lubov Chernukhin donated over £900,000. Did you know the instigator of psychometric testing in the workplace, Peter Saville, donated £100k? Why did Fujitsu donate £14,417? Will we see M&M Supplies, donating over £200k, somehow integral to shipping goods about in a few months? If the United Karate Association donated 2k, is karate Tory? All these questions and more eagerly await to sit in a spreadsheet with Companies House in a tab in the background

My mum used to commute from South Wales to London very day. In the olden days (1980s/90s) train from Newport to London took just 1hr 32 mins on the InterCity. Dad drove her to Newport station about 15 mins away, then from Paddington she took the circle or district line and her work was just a few minutes walk from a relevant tube station. She's a fan of early rising so used to get the train at about 530am, always got a seat with a table so she could do some work, and be in work most mornings before 8am. She did try renting a flat but quite often found it took longer to get from Streatham to her work than from home to her work, and the cost of renting the flat was about the same as a season ticket, and the parentals missed each other. When I worked for a large, popular (ahem) national transport infrastructure company some of my colleagues were commuting in from Doncaster, Crewe and so on. It was never worth moving because at any time your work base might be moved anywhere else with short notice. Euston HQ was closed down and shifted to Milton Keynes for example. Continuity RCP posted:Two hours each way. Sounds like a life worth living My daily commute from Walthamstow to Croydon used to take 1h30 in the morning and 1h45 in the evening and at least twice a week 'signal failures' etc meant it took many more hours. (Job was based in Victoria when I took it and then moved to Croydon and then some people in my department got hived off to Waterloo, so again, not worth moving and who the heck wants to live in Croydon anyway?)

I can imagine a commute like that working just fine for people who (a) do the sort of work that can be done on a laptop and (b) have no life outside of their job and live to work An extra 4 hours each day finessing that PowerPoint for next weeks meeting while the scenery goes by is no biggee for the sad git whose only hobby is skiing in Japan twice a year and golf every other week (btw these are both done in the pursuit of work relationships and any fun that is had is purely incidental)

Yeah I knew someone who commuted from Manchester to London most days, which seemed insane until I realised his commute (as he was in walking distance of the station at both ends) lasted about as long as another friend who commuted from just outside of Wigan to Manchester.
