None if these people have coherent positions anyway, so I think you'd have to take a temperature reading on a daily basis if you actually cared to know. Forgot that she existed and is a Dubliner though, mortifying for my adopted home E: 21, the ancestral card game which led to Blackjack and Pontoon, both of which sound like esoteric racial slurs.

I was in Asdurs yesterday evening after work and there was gently caress all fruit and veg like closing time on christmas eve empty, maybe even worse than that i honestly fear this year that people in NI might have to eat just tinned carrots, which imo bear only a vague resemblance to normal carrots how do they even find ones that small

Borrovan posted:Wait why doesn't the light coming off the water do the same thing Yeah I was wondering that. Like why is the horizon not behind or above the ship? No amount of light bending would put it below the ship. Unless that's not the horizon, which is plausible, but it looks too sharp a contrast with the sky not to be

Anyway I learned today that my wife likes Starmer. She doesn't follow politics as much as I do (and certainly doesn't see all the dirt that the Internet digs up) so I'm guessing she's simply not up to date since the leadership election. Where can I find a good cliff's notes on (a) awful poo poo he's done as leader and (b) awful poo poo he's done as cps guy?

Borrovan posted:Wait why doesn't the light coming off the water do the same thing The pic is wrong. The light from the ship isn't bending that much, we are talking about nanometer levels here. The denser/lighter air bends the blue part of the light from the ship and surrounding water changing it so that it has the same color as the sky that meets the water from your position. Blue light has a wavelength of 450 nanometers, the air is 'bending' it by a few namometers just. The light from the ship is bending too by this amount.

u brexit ukip it posted:Can someone smarter than me help me understand the article's explanation: The image tricks the brain. Easiest way to think of it is there's a mirror on the ocean that's reflecting the sky - your brain therefore sees sky "under" the ship and is convinced it's flying and disregards all other cues telling it otherwise. Cover the ship up and the "seam" between the sky and the reflection is much more obvious, cover up the reflection under the ship and the fact that you're missing the bits of the ship beneath the waterline becomes obvious.

Gorn Myson posted:Awesome, another debate about the political alignment and loyalties of Glenn Greenwald, I haven't seen enough of these online lately. Glenn Greenwald is a man who is absolutely not worth the amount of words written about him. He was always a libertarian which is pretty bad even if it makes him better than neoliberals on certain areas like civil liberties & global forever war, & like many libertarians he's gotten a bit too close to the sun & the glue has melted & now he is if not a fascist then still very comfortable around fascists. That said, claiming he's a Strasserite is reductionist drivel, as is the case 99% of the time someone labels someone a Strasserite as if it as a term as any meaning whatsoever. Darth Walrus posted:You could click through and read the article. It contains gems like this: I mean, the Attlee government wasn't exactly opening up the borders. (Well, it kind of did to Commonwealth citizens as an unintended consequence of the British Nationality Act 1948 but only 3,000 per year were coming in 1953 so I'm not counting it) There's always been an element of the socialist movement, often closest to trade unions, which regards immigration purely as driving down wages & a negative unfortunately, hardly restricted to just NazBols or Strasserites.

happyhippy posted:The pic is wrong. I think that their entire explanation is in fact wrong because like I say you can see - particularly at the right edge of the photo - the "seam", which suggests that it's actually just a conventional mirage over the ocean reflecting the sky. The only way to be sure would be with a theodolite or something I suppose to work out where the actual horizon is.

the frigging council here has removed all the bottle banks and put up signs where they were telling people to put out their bottles for collection  the bucket thing they gave out about 10 years ago isn't anything like big enough for someone who goes through phases of drinking quite a lot of ale and i'm a private person, i don't want my neighbours judging me for e.g. buying the big jars of pasta sauce from asda to make a savings

gently caress, that's great. I've been saying for years papers should have to print their corrections in the same font size and position as the initial lie. If you print 50 pages of brexit lies, you should have to print 50 pages of retraction. It would instantly destroy the Mail.

Supporting Hitler until the day before the war didn't destroy them, I'm sure they'll find a way around this one too  Borrovan posted:Wait why doesn't the light coming off the water do the same thing It's not dissimilar to the effects that make the sun a thin slither a few arc minutes above the horizon if you have exactly the right sunset, although in that case it's bending light that you wouldn't ordinarily see (because the sun is below the horizon) into your eyes/camera.

While that's definitely the case I'm even more gobsmacked how useless the EHRC is after the whole Pontins thing. Always thought doing discrimination like that would come with some financial penalties at least. If anything I can see a lot more companies (particularly estate agents and the like) taking it up after seeing what the consequences are, i.e. basically none.

The EHRC is very proactive about the most serious kind of racism, anti-English racism, so you'd need to bait them into a test case by having a hotel that doesn't allow the top 25 English last names (which includes Johnson).

Because people vote for parties, not individuals, 90% of the time. So it doesn't matter what damage you do to the party, you can exploit it to get a cushy job and a nice pension and you can use your top down influence to make the party enact your agenda regardless of whether it is organically supported.
