You can sit in VR for games that expect you to be standing but the game will think you're like 3 feet tall. It can be tough to pick dropped things off the floor if you're in a standard office chair with armrests, too. On the plus side, anyone watching your avatar will die laughing as you Cossack-dance around the map. As well, I think in general VR is built for American-size houses where you can easily clear out a two-metre square area to play in, rather than Great British Hovels.

Yeah this my issue, I have a VR headset but to use it i have to rearrange all my furniture and I just cannot be arsed most of the time, it definitely assumes you have a large area entirely devoid of things to bump into.

blunt posted:Not at all, there's plenty of stuff that you can play seated such as racing sims, anything that has the option of teleportation movement (most games!), media stuff, PokerstarsVR and the fantastic goon-made Gorilla Tag. Thanks everyone for answering. Tbh I mostly play games in order to run around beautiful countryside as though I were healthy and capitalism did not exist, so I want VR with a non-VR body. I don't know why I expected disability options yet really, but I'd have thought the decrepit wrinkly market could be massive eventually.

I doubt the "British pork" label really means much any more in terms of sales, people will buy what's available, EU or otherwise.

TACD posted:What’s the latest information on the accuracy of these? I remember early on reading the accuracy was appalling and we had access to loads because the US rejected them as useless, and then later on reading that actually they’re fine? They're not particularly sensitive so will false-negative quite a bit, especially because people are reluctant to stick things deep enough into their head holes, but if you're testing semi-regularly (and get a proper test, or at least do multiple LFTs, if symptomatic) they're fine. IIRC the false-positive rate is basically zero, but the false-negative rate can be as high as 25%. They work best in the way we're still mostly using them - for testing a couple of times a week as part of your normal routine, alongside a widespread PCR testing regime. Don't forget that PCR testing lab fuckup was picked up because so many people were getting positive LFTs but negative PCRs, it would have probably taken weeks or months longer for anyone to pay attention otherwise. The Americans didn't want them because, well, look at the place - a population willing to shoot somebody for asking them to wear a mask at Costco are *not* going to be amenable to regular, self-administered testing. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Nov 3, 2021 |

Just been emailed by Labour HQ. There was a data breach/cyber attack on Friday. I'm not especially surprised they are lax with personal data, given I resigned as soon as Starmer got in.

I remember early on reading the accuracy was appalling and we had access to loads because the US rejected them as useless, and then later on reading that actually they’re fine? Both my work colleagues tested positive on the lateral flow tests. Then sent off the PCR and got negative. But suffering from all the classic symptoms, a couple of days later went to drive thru PCR places and got positive. Turns out that they were initially sending to the dodgy lab giving false negatives. At work we've decided to rely on the ltf which we take before going in on Mondays. Because in any case the PCR doesn't seem able to pick it up until you're into the infectious stage.

https://twitter.com/JustinOnWeb/status/1455847420139552768 30 minute interview with Kathleen Stock, 100% sympathetic, never questions any of her claims, has an intro framing that firmly establishes she's in the right, nods along as she says students have been brainwashed by an extreme minority of lecturers, and Stonewall is 'encouraging' trans students to feel unsafe when they're not and 'the world is not as hostile to them as they think it is'. At one point Barnett clearly feels she hasn't expanded enough on the 'crazy woke lecturers' point and actively prods her with 'So your colleagues - they were fanning the flames (of harrassment against you)?'

IIRC the false-positive rate is basically zero, but the false-negative rate can be as high as 25%. Real world use for original lat flows have a false negative rate quite a bit higher than 25%, the frustrating part is I can't find anything that defines why it's so high. From having been exposed at a civil partnership ceremony not that long ago I'd guess you factor in the apparent majority of people who think you shed viruses less than 24 hours after exposure. There were one or two academic sources I looked at from early 2020 saying that the false negative rate of LF testing done by academics and clinicians prior to day 4 is over 50%, but if Delta can be symptomatic and even cause hospitalisation by day 3 it's probably reasonable to guess that you can get good results a bit earlier. Post-exposure testing for 3 days in a row starting day 3 is a good idea. The Americans banned lateral flows because the regulatory body started reviewing their use and found out they were being marketed and distributed at state level without any regulatory clearance, which (pretty reasonably) made them a bit upset Spangly A fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Nov 3, 2021 |

Wait so they got 250 votes, on a three line whip, with 361 MPs, on a bill opposition MPs apparently also supported? Am I missing something or are there really a decent chunk of Tories who think "fully legalise corruption" is a step too far?

Some labour or other opposition members must have also abstained because 250 votes shouldn't be enough to pass that, suggests about 100 tories abstained. Also lol that we live in a completely naked kleptocracy.
