They posted this recently  I grew up in this remote town. They were on an industrial estate next to the cricket pitch and the beach. It wasn't a "rough part of town", it was here, next to the carpet man who was either a paedophile or employed paedophiles. I doubt many people could've taken you to their door. winegums fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Jun 10, 2021 |

NotJustANumber99 posted:Maybe we should just move the planet a bit so it orbits the sun in a round number. Or I guess spin a bit faster or slower so the days fit in better to the existing year we have. Presumably the nukes would be involved in achieving this which would be putting them to good use for a common goal. Of a tidier calendar. I am in favor of slowly moving the earth further out, to counter the increasing luminosity of the sun, 500 million years left at most before it becomes too hot advanced life. Not enough.

Well as I have been looking at a sky that looks like the lower half of this image all morning.....  I did see the solar eclipse in 1999 and also a lunar eclipse in 2013 I think it was when I was in Egypt. But other than that, I find these things are Obscured by Clouds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16V-wNwlTw0

bessantj posted:If someone were to say "I don't think climate change is real because a lot of leftists think it is." or "I don't think COVID-19 came from a lab because Nigel Farage said it did." Is that a logical fallacy? Which one would you consider it to be. I was think Appeal to Spite, but I'm not sure that fits. Reading this post about argument decorum just reminded me of this tweet I saw yesterday. https://twitter.com/JustinWhang/status/1402684879104512001?s=20 (Bonus points is that fellow Goon Slowbeef is one of the top replies to it.)

The Question IRL posted:Reading this post about argument decorum just reminded me of this tweet I saw yesterday. Not very keen on loving horses though, unlike some people around these parts. It seems to upset the horses a lot too, so I think we should file it alongside things like fox hunting and the Grand National as things involving horses that should be looked down upon.

gently caress, that brewdog response. "If you're having trouble with an abusive line manager, speak to your abusive line manager about it. I don't see the problem because we all love the amount of money we're making. Now put your mame on this letter or your loving family starves. Kisses, James (I'm a punk, honestly)"

I wonder if the brewdog guys believe their own bullshit, because it would take some cognitive dissonance to earnestly think you're a cool, ethical, rebellious, anti-establishment, no suits here company while using phrases like 'growth journey' (and every other type of management doublespeak you can imagine)

Everything about that brewdog response is nauseating and horrible. All the, 'you spoke. We listened.' bollocks, the 'were actually a teensy bit hurt  ' stuff. It's so synthetic and cloying, and this kind of implied threat running throughout it makes it seem genuinely kind of sociopathic.

Someone's dug out their old 'Business for Punks' book, and it's making some interesting reading.quote:I love ignoring advice as much as every stupid muppet loves giving it to me. My advice, to those seeking advice, is don’t even bother. Advice is for freaks and clowns. The thing about being driven is you need to know your own way. quote:Be a selfish bastard. Seriously, you have to be. If you’re not 110% up for it, no one else is going to give a drat. quote:The biggest mistake you can make is actually caring what people think. To hell with opinions, conventions and consequences. It is all just a game. quote:Put your conscience and morals in a drawer, lock it, throw away the key and join the revolution. Because at a certain point you’ll have to do things you know you shouldn’t. quote:To grow a business you have to forget all about being reasonable. You need to thrive on being unreasonable and then have the skills to hammer your position home. You need to look after the interests of your team and business and only those interests. On many occasions you are going to have to be ruthless, brutal, cold-blooded and cynical. This is OK. As long as it is done for the long-term good of what you are trying to achieve. Think of it as a lioness eating one of her cubs to ensure the others survive. Sometimes you will have to murder your darlings.

Guavanaut posted:Maybe it's time for Biden to take full advantage of the fact that the UK's nuclear deterrent is not independent. I mean, my understanding is that it is in the sense that if we wanted to glass Washington DC tomorrow we could do that. The lack of independence is more that we rely on the US for warhead maintenance, so if we wanted to glass DC 5 years from now that might be more difficult - but if it came down to it and we did ever go full Juche I suspect we could develop the ability.

As for not being able to target the US, well, we did nearly accidentally bomb the place already - and given we were aiming for a missile range in the US there, I doubt there's some kind of absolute lockout.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Well as I have been looking at a sky that looks like the lower half of this image all morning..... I've been reading Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything and he describes the ultimate instance of this where a chap called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillaume_Le_Gentil travelled to India to observe Venus transiting across the sun. Every 120 years or so this happens twice, just eight years apart. In Le Gentil's case it was predicted to happen in 1761 and 1769. He left Paris in March 1760, failed to make it to India in time because of the Seven Years' War between France and Britain, and got blown off course before he could get to land somewhere else and so obviously couldn't do any proper observations from a moving ship. When he eventually made it to India he built a small observatory before the next transit of the pair would occur in 1769. When it did it became cloudy and he couldn't observe anything. He then decided to head back to France and when he finally arrived back there in October 1771, found that he had been declared dead, his wife had remarried, and his relatives had "enthusiastically plundered his estate".
