I'm going to play Cyberpunk whenever I upgrade my PC, and given that the new generation of components have been hoovered up by scalpers just like the PS5, I'm guessing that'll be in 2022.

lol I hadn’t even thought of this Lorry drivers heading to EU face ham sandwich ban quote:Lorry drivers will be banned from taking a ham and cheese sandwich or other meat and dairy products from the UK into the EU from 1 January, even if it is just to eat while driving, UK government officials have said. Though presumably after waiting in a queue for a week the drivers won’t have any of their own food left and will instead be surviving on emergency rations handed out by aid organisations

Gee, sure is lucky this new Coronavirus variant (that has been known about for a few weeks now) has become a big enough deal that Boris doesn't have to u-turn on his previous "Christmas will not be cancelled and will be loosened" message without a good reason. Funny how that keeps happening for him, luckiest guy in the world.

I can't wait to see what other poo poo people get pulled up on that just fucks everything up, but has been EU law for decades and was a known quantity before we even left.

Kinda expect that they're going to ban travelling home for christmas, then do nothing to stop it, thus leaving the onus entirely on the individual as ever.

Comrade Fakename posted:This coronavirus variant stuff is a bullshit excuse made up by the government for why they’ve let another surge happen, right? Sort of ... mutations have been observed for the entire pandemic (remember back in March people were tracking different clusters around europe based on whether it was the OG Wuhan version or the Italian mutation?). The reporting about this one right now is very much just a convenient scapegoat for the Gov though, yes.

This is the sort of thing that I would expect a reasonable government to do given the situation (though a reasonable government would have taken steps to make sure we didn't get to this situation). As such, I am amazed that this government is considering it.

Basically- while there's probably a mutated variant spreading, it's unlikely that that mutation actually has a meaningful human scale effect on either infectivity or deadlyness

Maybe it's a brexit announcement "I have a piece of paper" not a covid announcement? Got my 8 weeks rations sorted anyway (just waiting for the dried veg to arrive in the post and got a few more bottles of water to get in). Flour and oil separate. Each crate is 2 weeks worth.  Most of it came from Home Bargains or amalgamated existing supplies from end of 2018 brexocalypse so not outrageously expensive. My plan is to revolve it to keep a steady 8 weeks in as far as possible and add freshies when possible. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Dec 19, 2020 |

(Note: I don't remember how many digits a UK phone number has) They're assigned by Twitter, it's the standard format for usernames if you sign up from a mobile. The numbers aren't sequential but they're also not (that anyone knows) tied to any other piece of info you give to Twitter.

ronya posted:Christmas partly cancelled. This is a classic leak hard, row back announcement strategy. Tier 4 will only be parts of London, South East and probably not much at all of East Anglia and will be applauded as the sensible and tolerable middle way. Rather than a damning failure of the government to bring the virus under control for over 8 months.

It could be a phone number for somewhere in the middle of Devon but it more likely just a random string

As he will tell you, being a Firstname Bunchofnumbers account doesn't make somebody a "bot", but it can suggest (especially along with no picture) either a low-effort troll who doesn't care about their account, or a burner account of someone who expects to get banned, so the evergreen tweet I was paraphrasing still holds up.

Living mostly on tinned food was a real downer after a while for myself, i found spuds & onions can keep well in a cool spot, put them in separate cardboard boxes or they can ripen each other.
