radmonger posted:Does anyone know on what basis the list of people to get vaccinations is compiled? Which part of the government needs to have an up-to-date contact address? At least in London it's at the HCP level (roughly equivalent to the old NHS Regional Authority, the level of bureaucracy between trusts/CCGs and NHS England itself) but AIUI these don't actually exist in a lot of the country and it's being done by hospital trusts, CCGs, and individual GPs leading to people getting multiple invites and all sorts of other fun and games. The current priority list (in descending order) is: Residents in care homes for older adults and their carers 80-year-olds and over and frontline health and social care workers 75-year-olds and over 70-year-olds and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals 65-year-olds and over 16- to 64-year-olds with serious underlying health conditions 60-year-olds and over 55-year-olds and over 50-year-olds and over (We're currently only doing the first two groups, with the next three groups due to be done by the end of Feb - after that it all gets a bit hazy, especially as once you get past the 6th group there's much less likelihood that they'll have up-to-date contact details, there will be all sorts of issues with people finding time out of their working day, and the big one which - to my knowledge - still hasn't been answered, whether or not people who don't qualify for free prescriptions will get it for free) To answer your actual question - it's your GP who has to have the correct details and this should be distributed to the relevant people.

Legal revolution only. Although yeah I worked it out as I was typing this that it's just another law to punish us because they know people will try poo poo as we get more and more desperate.

Private Speech posted:As someone who really likes surface it's definitely a complex choice. Windows thinks it knows best what input option you want and does not offer basic configuration options for seemingly no reason. Tap the keyboard icon with you finger, of course you want the touch keyboard thats fine. However tap it with the pen and here's a handwriting recognition pad you don't want to use. Doesn't matter if you swap to the actual keyboard everytime because you just wanted to pres ctrl or whatever if you use the pen you must want the hadwriting mode. No windows 10 doesn't care that I've been using tablet pcs since before the ipad let people know what a tablet was or how incredibly proficient I am at using the pen on the virtual keyboard it will always go to the wrong mode which may sound trivial but really fucks me off when I just want to type a letter for a keyboard shortcut the fact that this £800 (at the time) tablet can't be set not to waste my time. Similarly the virtual keyboard is set to a limited touch friendly mode by default and you have to go into the settings to give yourself permission to use a version that actually has all the keys a keyboard has. Frankly Windows 10 pisses me off in general, its a lovely mobile OS wrapper where you have to click though a minimalist badly organized 'settings app' to find the setting you want to change is still buried in a menu that looks like its from windows 95. Its better than 8 was just because it's doing a worse job at pretending to be a hip new mobile OS instead of creaky old windows. Don't get me started on S-Mode either, its not cool for you to turn that on for me microsoft what the gently caress. The screen is nice and the pen input is as good as the various wacom powered tablets I've had before. The model I have has incredibly bad wifi reception though, it literally won't pick up wifi if the screen isn't directly facing my router.

the answer of course lies in the middle - every statue and pedestal to have a massive orange bag locked over it with the words "THIS MONUMENT IS NOT IN USE", thereby preventing defacement or removal

NotJustANumber99 posted:So at the moment it is legal to pull down any statues you don't like? Reading the article, the new law is actually about making it harder to remove statues legally by requiring "planning permission and consultation with local communities". So even if a university or council wants to take down a statue, the local gammons get a chance to object.

But is this even unprecedented, Jesse Ventura was a US governor, just didn't come from a tradition of mask-wearing, and I feel like masked wrestlers have won office before.

Honestly all politicians should be required to wear masks, and if you want to become PM you need to unmask and kill the current incumbent on the parliamentary floor.

Mr Phillby posted:I have a surface pro 3 and its okay. Windows 10 is uniquely bad at handling pen input unfortunately so theres a couple of little frustrations and annoyances that make using mine a bit of a pain. I don't have the keyboard case so this is my entirely pen driven experience Yeah I've had SP 5 and now have SB 2, so I have some experience of it. One thing I'd recommend for the touch interface is TouchZoomDesktop (replacement for the touch driver, not as necessary as it used to be since the default driver improved, but it does have some nice features like emulated mouse and universal pinch-to-zoom) and TouchMousePointer (onscreen overlays of various kinds, including things like a gaming controller and virtual touchpad, you can make new ones via the Tablet PRO Manager windows store app) by the Japanese dev SummerLoveTrue. They are free for personal use and have no ads, but it's best to download older versions since the new ones have some features only with a paid license. Also they have basically zero footprint (like 10MB memory and 0.3% CPU if turned on). Here's links to download the standalone (older) versions - it's fine to let them update: TouchMousePointer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/397sij8wst80y3n/touchmousepointer2079.exe?dl=0 TouchZoomDesktop: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0q9mlylnd4cv1e8/touchzoomdesktop2079.exe?dl=0 Tablet PRO Manager: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/tablet-pro/9nblggh1rqvc?activetab=pivot:overviewtab Private Speech fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Jan 17, 2021 |

I do a lot of surveys online because I am poor and need the £££ they give me. I will always be upset when they ask where I am on the political line and left = left/liberal. I dislike Liberals and think they should gently caress off and die, but maybe the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

This seems to be more targeted at councils and institutions tbh - forces a requirement for planning permission and community consultation for any 'historic' but unlisted statues to be removed with the secretary being given final veto power over local authorities. It's not just statues but also road name changes (obviously we the reaction to angry gammon noises over the Havelock Road renaming) requiring support from a super majority of residents Less about stopping angry mobs and more about hobbling any councils trying to do things the Tories don't like
