goddamnedtwisto posted:The weirdest thing about this story is it happened while I was involved in complex negotiations with a north-London based snake breeder about trying to obtain a (non-venomous) snake as part of a scheme involving a Korean artist staying with one of my parents' friends, and an attempt to get the Paris-based daughter of said parents friend involved in an exhibition at the Saatchi gallery, because apparently my life is actually a cautionary tale northerners tell each other about what goes on in That London. Your involvement is always the weirdest part of any story.

Somehow I subbed to the lovely New Statesman newsletter & have been too lazy to unsubscribe. Checking my email todayquote:Good morning. Boris Johnson is under fire after saying that Margaret Thatcher gave the United Kingdom a "big early start" in the battle against climate change by closing so many of the country's coal mines. So congratulations to Stephen Bush for being the only person to agree with Boris's smug little joke.

About the only thing that Thatcher proved is that jobs can be dangerous and unhealthy and bad for the environment and yet policy can still somehow manage to be worse. Good thing we had that environmentally friendly North Sea oil and gas boom though.

I love the fake outrage here. Like, what in the last 40 years of Torydom has led you to believe that they've changed their mind and decided what they did to the miners was bad, actually? Guess it's not  polite to acknowledge the Tories were evil then, and it's a direct line from then to now, but with several decades' worth of brazening traditional decorum into dust?

The agreed upon handover is that the tories will take the "working class" vote by going all in on culture war and fascism but still doing the same policies Labour are going to do the same policies too but they will be given the city dwellers with higher education who they will attract by... Oh... Keith please hold up your end of the bargain It's all gonna go to poo poo kieth please say you support BLM So reminding people that the tories whole thing is they are the enemy of the working class will just clutter the brains of the common folk unhelpfully

I was trying to remember because I couldn't think if the addition of the starch made it more or less dense.

That's caramel custard, which is more like a flan. Their page for custard powder says 0.81g/cm^3, and egg custard is 1.19g/cm^3 So a binbag full of egg custard would float in the Dead Sea.

Now i'm imagining Boris being forced to walk the plank into a slurry tank filled with custard I would have kept it full of pig poo poo but the fumes might have knocked him out too quickly and i do so want him to fully enjoy the event.

So a "long ton" is an imperial ton 2240lb or 20cwt. These are units of measurement I learned at primary school which as any fule kno by now was a very long time ago, when time was measured relative to incidents rather than clocks.... we used to have school exercise books with all these (and rods, poles, perches, chains etc) on the back of them. A short ton is 2000lb and is what the Americans call a ton. Neither of these is the same as a metric ton which is 1000kg It is equivalent to approximately 2,204.6 pounds; 1.102 short tons (US), and 0.984 long tons (UK).

Know what I find funny? Kitchen scales with ml as a unit. Unless you're giving me a place to enter the density, that's just grams with a fake moustache!

Here's the big unanswered question about Crimes of Grindelwald, released in 2018: is the Grindelwald rally meant to be Jeremy Corbyn at Glastonbury? e: I have posted this in the wrong thread, but perhaps understandably so.

I am constantly amazed that there aren't more international disasters or trade wars caused by either conversion failures or a miscommunication over which indentically-named unit of measurement is the one being used. I wouldn't blink if the report found thta the Evergiven got jammed in the Suez Canal because the Captain didn't realise she was built using American Boaties which are 0.03 bigger than British Boaties, and that none of the tugs could pull her out because they were rated for Metric Heavies and the calculations used an obscure unit of Heavies found only along the banks of the Suez on Wednesdays.
