Scotland and NI could both gain independence, and I bet there still wouldn't be a hint of Welsh on the new "United Kingdom" fleg. Shame, because a dragon would really spice it up.

Thread may now call me “three freezers” Elsie. I got under counter, fridge freezer, and chest freezer and it’s exactly as glorious as you would expect it to be. Edit: oh yehhh

I want a chest freezer  A proper desk is probably the more urgent purchase though. What was the name of that site where you can order ex office equipment, i'd imagine they're pretty well stocked at the moment.

Cyclopentane is a very eldritch molecule. World beating performance. If you squint at it right. I'm starting to think the UK vaccination programme is going to run full-speed into the iceberg when it comes to second dose time for everyone getting their jab now.

AFAIK, it's a deliberate strategy to get at least some vaccine into as many people as possible, which I tend to agree with: I think it's preferable to a much smaller number of fully vaccinated people and a majority with zero protection.

I guess one point of concern is did they take into account that by running ahead with single vaccines, the population feels invincible and behaves more recklessly, and combined with our nearest neighbours very much not having kept up with us what that does to the model? Also I don't understand the 5k fine law thing for going abroad. So... They lied again and holidaying wasn't banned but now will be?

You can't talk about the BBC flag thing without the video https://twitter.com/jamesowild/status/1374052717841223683 Yes this is from a Parliamentary Accounts Committee session where they were there to scrutinise the BBC including ensuring it's representing good value for money etc... "I think that's a strange metric" is a very diplomatic response. EDIT: check out that ratio lol Ewan fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Mar 23, 2021 |

I think their model* is actually people are going to go loving mental on April 12th, vaccine or not, so just spam it out as fast as possible because 60% of the population with *some* immunity is preferable to 30% of the population with better immunity, *particularly* if - as has been suggested but is very far from proven - the single jab almost entirely eliminates hospitalisation and death. * I'm being charitable and assuming some kind of medical realpolitik rather than the "Just do the thing that gets us a good headline today regardless of what it means tomorrow" policy which has driven just about every single thing they've done under Johnson.

Endjinneer posted:Cyclopentane is a very eldritch molecule. The stated reason for the month delay in moving to the next cohort is to ensure second doses get done for all healthcare workers and clinically extremely vulnerable people. This is actually a pretty sensible idea, but they still seem to be pushing on with a fuckload of first jabs in the current cohort (non-vulnerable over-50) and accelerating that much quicker than the rate of second jabs (almost double the amount of first doses last week compared to the week before, second doses only up 25% in the same period). Like you say, I think they're hitting the organisational limits here; there's no *clinical* reason why they couldn't be doing >500k/day second doses right now, which would get all of the remaining vulnerable people done by the end of the month with time to spare, I think the problem is that now they've moved out of the easy areas (people already working in the NHS or living in long-term care) they just have no way at all of moving people's appointments up, so we're still locked into the schedule we set in January.

We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors.

I listened to the latest WDTATW while walking the dog earlier and they had a rundown of the bill: the latest anti-Traveller measures sound just nuts. I know it's not exactly a surprise since it was in the Tory manifesto, but it's quite literally ethnic cleansing and basically nobody in the British mainstream cares at all. e: Tesseraction posted:Just to point out to those who aren't certain from bsm's post: uncleftish beholding is a humorous thought experiment about removing Latin influence from our language.

I like Anglish as a concept but I worry that the community of people who care too much about it are going to be turboracists, like the very bad types of pagans who want everything back to before 'Judeo-Christianity' rather than the good types of pagans who like cool art and trees (and I know there's unfortunately some overlap there). I hope I'm wrong about that. I'm up for learning Basque though. Or Paleozoic Era swamp noises. e: or OwlFancier posted:just swearing and grunting.
