Hm, it seems Google have decided to rename Old Street roundabout in Google Maps? Silly wankers e: 139% is how excited an average Googler is about ~tech startups~

Overfishing really shouldn't be a problem, we just look at how many potatoes we've got and catch the proportionate amount of fish.

Eddy-Baby posted:A friend requested a primer on "politics"; they have not been interested in this, ever, but it seems they might be starting to notice that Bad Things are Happening. The recommended reading for this thread seems a bit heavy, though. Any thoughts on what/where I could send them? Ken Loach films make a good jumping off point if you can pick one that is relatable to your friend's experiences or background. Have they ever had to sign on or owned a kestrel for example. Classic texts like the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists are great and all but unless your friend is a joiner from the 19th century there's a chance they'll come away thinking "thank god we have cordless screwdrivers now" rather than recognising the similarities. That said the newly released graphic novel of it looks really nice.

Is the milk supposed to be cover for leaving the house during lockdown? I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Yeh this is officially weird now knowing his mental health issues, like he’s been super open about how ill he has been at times and that is a picture of someone who is clearly not very well. I get boo hiss Tories but with this he’s gone from someone we could work with, and was willing to work with red Labour when others were not, to having a public breakdown. This is the man who convinced the Tory backbenchers to go against the whip and keep Bercow as speaker with one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard, not the milk guy  Edit: his wedding ring is gone, drat. Not surprised to see the usual media melts on twitter jumping on this, they must know he’s had issues god drat vultures. learnincurve fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Mar 25, 2021 |

Assuming that a Tory taking a really dumb view on civil liberties is because of his mental health problems (OCD as far as I can find?) instead of just the fact that libertarians are loving psychos is an interesting choice.

The latest smoothbrained covid thunk is that the swabs they use for the tests are coated with ethylene oxide, which causes brain cancer and destroys DNA. Even disregarding that ethylene oxide is a gas at RTP, specifically so that it can be used to sterilize things like swabs and only be present in totally negligible quantities once a sterile swab is ready to use, or that 'destroys DNA' is why it is used to remove pathogens in the first place, or that it causes cancer in the same way that benzene does, by long term chronic exposure (usually occupational) increasing your statistical risk of developing certain cancers, rather than because you touched a benzene once, the loving cherry on the top is that the studies that were commissioned to find and prove this carcinogenicity that are being passed around were all commissioned by the World Health Organization, who they have currently decided to cite as a reliable source.  (I mean, it's better than most of the sources that the David Icke Covid-hoax crew usually cite, but still )Jaeluni Asjil posted:Can someone remind me of how Mike Gapes came to be associated so heavily with milk?

ITYF the current branding is 'arm', they gave me a water bottle when I worked there and everything. Thing is they were and even currently are doing just fine in their core business despite Softbank having pushed them to expand unsustainably fast since the acquisition. However, unlike the yanks who talk the talk about free trade but would never actually let a foreigner buy a company like that, our politicians have fully drunk the Kool Aid.

Aren't ARM/arm processors in like half the computing devices in the world? I think it's fair to say they're still world leaders in at least the sense of widespread use.

Yeah absolutely. Back in the days of empire, the upper class had the sense not to retool the homeland according to oversimplified economic theories (Britain, eternal home of textile manufacturing according to comparative advantage). Trying that poo poo out was for the colonies so in the likely case of things going wrong the only casualties would be a bunch of brown people rather than the wealth and convenience of the upper class.

suck my woke dick posted:Yeah basically all the phone processors are some flavour of ARM. The only really relevant market segment they don't have a major presence in (so far) is data centres afaik, technically desktop PCs but I think that's less profitable anyway. AWS will do you an arm node these days I believe. Edit: half the computing devices? Try 90% plus. Embedded is a thing.
