Brilladelphia posted:There are many roles in the civil service which are public facing, as my department is, and I can also confirm first hand that intelligence is by no means a limiting factor judging by many of my colleagues (also Bugman you come across not only as intelligent but also a really good person, I'd gladly have you on my team. Definitely consider applying if you find a role that sounds up your street, the civil service is great to work for in my experience) Thank you. What sort of roles are there in the civil service? And do any of them help folks? Currently in the heritage sector and... well things aren't looking too good for us at the moment. A good cat.

That reminds me of a comic based on the teleporter/duplicator problem, where someone asks "how do you know which one is the original" and they answer "that's easy, the original is". Sounds like SMBC but I can't find it now.

Comrade Fakename posted:They are fully aware of this (well, at least some of them are). That's why the Queen's speech included Voter ID and this "free speech on campus" poo poo. It's not about the culture war (well, not just about that), it's an attempt to hold onto longer-term power. The free speech stuff is a pretty pathetic attempt to reverse their fortunes among the young. I doubt the speakers at the Oxford Union really effects generational opinion, but it's an attempt anyway. From a few pages back, but the Oxford Union is an organisation that's independent from the university, so any attempts to force them to invite objectionable speakers by pressuring universities is likely to be about as effective as Keith's leadership.

Josef bugman posted:Thank you. They're incredibly wide ranging, e.g. the work of the Foreign Office is obviously very different to the work of Natural England, and then roles will vary massively even within organisations, so there's bound to be something out there for you, though I'm not sure exactly what scope there is to work in heritage in the CS - if the National Archives counts then there are roles such as this - not public facing but would be a foot in the door. There are definitely roles whose purpose is to help people, or at the very least who engage directly with the public - I work in such a department myself, and as Jaeluni said, every role is technically public service! Search on civil service jobs (as Jaeluni linked above) for the grades 'Administrative Assistant' and 'Administrative Officer' in your area and see what comes up, and definitely fire off an application if you see anything you like

Also tends to be right-wing though as a pipeline for student Tories. Bozza was president back in his day for instance. JCRs and I guess OUSU though? Lot more vulnerable.

In recognition of it being Eid Al Fitr, I was going to donate some money to a charity that supports the humanitarian effort in Yemen. I know that not all charities are equally correct; but is there any reason not to donate to MSF?

Moving to B only would be a political success, and that might well be good. The government doesn't need to argue for it, they're the government, they can just do it, and then because they have done it it may well prove very difficult to vote for a different government that would undo it.

Guavanaut posted:I think we're finally getting there. The secret was lasers all along. This fusion power is always gonna be x years away is personally really frustrating to hear to me. Fusion power research has been chronically underfunded and still is, yet things have advanced steadily for decades and we've slowly gotten closer and closer. So fusion is not something that's constantly on the horizon and the main reason it appears to be that way is funding and lack of political will more than anything else.

It's kind of true though isn't it? It's just a reflection of the fact that people initially grossly underestimated the challenges involved and the more it's studied and the more challenges are overcome the more become apparent. I actually laughed upon reading a BBC article yesterday about an "important breakthrough" with magnets that, late in the article, added "there are still many challenges to resolve but nothing insurmountable, we're really hopeful of getting something working in the early 2030s!"

radmonger posted:If you have a national ID service, you simply don’t need the electoral register, so that becomes a pointless and obvious waste. The electoral register is used for more things than determining who can vote. It's an important tool for the court system, where it's used to make sure two people with the same name aren't confused and also to select jurors.

Huh, I'm all booked in for my vaccination today. Am actually kind of impressed by how easy that was to do. I got a text at like 8:45 AM saying I'm able to book my vaccination. I tapped the link, got taken to an extremely simple webpage that made me put in my date of birth on a janky-rear end calendar from early-2000s web design, then I got a huge list of available appointment times. Picked one and I'm done. Tomorrow I'll be that guy posting his side-effects

Well, thats because there are other reasons people younger than 38 might be needing to book one and they can't check for all those factors online. It says on the front page what they are.

Previously it gave me a list of things I could check off if I was eligible, but I'm not going to lie about being a social care worker. This time I just sailed through no questions asked.

Are you 38 before 1st July? Could be that Otherwise I guess theyve just turned off/down the age check thing because theyre lowering the age limit every few days and maybe because things are progressing at different rates regionally and it would be a ballache if the system kept turning people away. Dunno But if it let you, just go because why not.
