Clearly the penalties aren't audited by a human at any point in the system.

goddamnedtwisto posted:If it helps, it definitely wasn't the fatalities that moved the dial, it was the >£1bn cost of compensation for the South Quay and Manchester bombs. The fact that most people are surprised to learn that there were 2 fatalities at South Quay (and 3 a Baltic Exchange and 1 at Bishopsgate) and literally hundreds of injuries at each, many of them life-changing, is all you really need to know. The focus of all of the reporting was on the financial damage, not that a bunch of the servant class[1] died and were injured. i didn't even know there were injuries. i was going on the folklore version of an event i knew nothing about. i'd be the first to roll my eyes at the up the ra contingent of the thread for being ignorant fantasist dickheads and i did more or less the same thing. like a big stupid jim mcdonald DERPDERPDERPDERP like that  i've just made a right dickhead of myself, and i'm going to go away and reflect on it

I was watching "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" when i heard the shots, life is strange and oh so complicated.  That is the type of crap the Tories risk bringing back to my home by putting the GFA & NIP in jeopardy with their silly little Brexit shenanigans.

crispix posted:i think it's very important to be honest about when you've dropped a bollock This is an incredibly laudable sentiment (and one that would reduce the size of the internet 90% if everyone abided by it). Like I say don't beat yourself up *too* much - all of the contemporary reporting was about the financial cost, the injuries were just a number buried away at the bottom. The one that really sticks in my mind is the single death (who was also the only serious injury) from the Bishopsgate bombing, a photographer who snuck through the cordon to get pictures and was killed by falling glass from NatWest Tower. Nasty way to go, but the report literally spent more time on how much glass had been broken in the attack than on what that glass had fallen on.

I see the BBC have a new article up about how people are complaining about their previous article about trans people bullying lesbians saying actually it was a really great article. The reporter seems to have deleted her twitter so I guess shes probably been cyber bullied there.

Was that the one where they quoted a cis woman saying that self ID is bad because predatory men would gain access to women's spaces, and then it turned out that the cis woman was a serial rapist, or was it a different one?

We just had parliament in Finland start debating a citizen's initiative on improving the trans legislation (there's plenty to fix) today, and surprise surprise, the national newspaper of record has an editorial directly referencing that BBC piece of poo poo piece this morning. I've been half expecting TERF talking points hitting the media here any time now, beyond some fringe social media personalities, but still it pisses me off to see it. What is worse, it feels your average reader is just lapping it up because the major newspaper still is felt pretty credible, and more than that BBC is felt like a very reliable thing to refer to.

It was basically just all British agents and that’s why they had to come to the table” That's not the view I'm signing up to at all.To clarify, and in my understanding, the IRA leadership were pushing peace and stood down a lot of the actions, and for a brief time in the 90's, British military intelligence filled the vacuum and tried to keep up the narrative and the violence. That gave the govt the excuse to refuse the IRA a seat at any negotiating table, and that's when the IRA leadership decided to set off those bombs. e: I know someone who worked in such an undercover unit, and his job was was a hitman, torturer and getaway driver. They did a lot of doorstep murders, and a significant number of those news reports in the late 80's and early 90's where "<Such and such> was shot dead on their doorstep. Paramilitaries are thought to have been involved." news headlines were state sanctioned murders carried out by such units. Half his unit died on active service, and half a dozen of the survivors all mysteriously died of heart attacks in the same week when they announced they were about to whistleblow. fuctifino fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Oct 28, 2021 |

OwlFancier posted:You would need an absolute army of people to program in the specific layouts for every single store that is like that and everything would need to be done perfectly on time too. I just cannot see it working out cheaper in the long run. A dumb fad yes, but I cannot see it working in most places. It doesn't make sense to take the rough and messy business of brick and mortar retail and then require it to run on precision. Eh, they already keep track of where every single item is, at least down to the shelf level. They've been doing this since at least 2001 when I was working on Tesco home shopping. When they move stuff around they just have a little handheld scanner thing that scans the product code and then they used to just type in a code for the aisle number and shelf number - they probably just have it more automated than this now. I wouldn't be surprised that if they've got cameras tracking stuff or whatever it can just have them scan a code and then put the thing on the shelf and that's it.
