OwlFancier posted:bonfire night I mean the colour and amount of smoke it gave off suggest it was almost certainly mostly black powder[1], and guess what's been on sale in every shop in the country for the last month? [1] Only "almost certainly" because a lot of improvised explosives will give off a lot of white/grey smoke if they're not properly prepared, but generally if they're that far off they'll normally give off a lot more smoke than bang (e.g. 21/7 bombers).

fuctifino posted:But yeah, if it was the remembrance day service that was targeted, it could very easily be the start of Irish republican action on the mainland, due to the tearing up of the GFA. Can't see them doing anything preemptive, and current SF policy is to sit back and let the DUP accelerate reunification instead. If an enforced border is implemented here i honestly have no idea what will happen as regards a republican response.

Just Another Lurker posted:Can't see them doing anything preemptive, and current SF policy is to sit back and let the DUP accelerate reunification instead. Actually, yeah... very valid point. I only threw in the potential IRA theory as the media has been speculating that the remembrance service was the intended target. This is probably going to end up being some QAnon fuckwit.

It'll be forgotten about by the rest of the UK and despite Scousers holding grudges for loving forever they'll end up claiming it as a false flag or something because I fear the Q influence runs pretty deep here. I hope I'm wrong though and this helps lift the veil from some peoples eyes. I'm pretty tired of it all.

How is Labour handling the various byelections you asked? By blocking their previous candidate from the last three elections from the shortlist for being a leftie: https://twitter.com/graeme_currie1/status/1459822975784562688 Full thread text: quote:Yesterday the NEC blocked my inclusion onto the North Shropshire local members hustings to shortlist for the upcoming by-election candidate. Under the guise of “due diligence” they raised spurious concerns regarding a tweet 2018 of a Palestinian badge and a Facebook post in 2020 where I quoted Jeremy Corbyn calling for calm following the Equalities Commission’s report on findings of Institutional anti-Semitism in the Labour Party. I consider I have been unjustly slurred as anti-Semitic. I abhor this slur and I am devastated and disgusted. https://labourlist.org/2021/11/labour-selects-ben-wood-as-candidate-for-north-shropshire-by-election/

I'm glad nobody was seriously hurt other than the alleged bomber. It's interesting to watch the story change in real time: we've already gone from hero cabby stops attack on Remembrance Day parade to this poor driver getting his eardrum blown out at the end of a normal fare to the hospital. The other people arrested may not have anything to do with the cab passenger other than being unsuspecting housemates or people he called recently, cos I guess at this point the police are just casting around for whoever they can round up to say they're doing something. Or some/all of them may have been in on it, who knows.

Guavanaut posted:Women's hospital, so the most likely are antivax, anti-abortion, or the even further wingnut fringe of both that's convinced that hospitals are stealing live fetuses to extract adrenochrome/make vaccines/keep Jimmy Savile alive or whatever stupid poo poo they're on this week. Bingo. The "Cosmic Scousers" are proper nutjobs and I wouldn't be surprised if it's something linked to all that shite. I had to work alongside one and she legit believed hospitals were harvesting fetuses for celebrities to bathe in the blood and stay youthful forever. Everyt ime Lady Gaga would come on the playlist at work she'd have a meltdown and have to go sit out in the KP area because she was so traumatised by this knowledge that she was in on the baby murdering. How she didn't get fired I still don't know.

WhatEvil posted:But because I was doing it on my tablet rather than my PC, no ad-block, and before the piano started, I got some ad jingle (and reflexively said "gently caress OFFFFFFFF!"), which is the absolute lowest point of human creative endeavour (the jingle, that is, not me telling it where to go). Worse is when watching a guide for how to do something in a game - it makes it really difficult when trying to follow the flow of something complicated and it keeps popping out to sell you some poo poo for 15 seconds. If you pause (i.e. to try the thing you just watched in-game), it then adds another ad break after a few seconds. Worst of all, new channels can't turn these interstitial ads off, and partners can only turn them off by disabling monetisation entirely. I know they're doing it to make the platform just annoying enough to push users into subscribing to Youtube Pro/red/whatever, but it's loving annoying. It's absolutely just greed. They were making enough with the embedded ads but wanted more, so they added the opening ads. Then sometimes there were two ads. Then sometimes they were unskippable. Then they added the inserted ads. DickEmery posted:If it is white blokes then it'll be 4 "lone wolves" and forgotten by next week.

Important update from the live blog: "A crime scene investigator wearing a white suit was seen going in and out of a property in the street and a number of police vehicles were at the scene. Police helped to carry shopping deliveries and a Deliveroo to properties within the cordon."

Yesterday my daughter wanted to watch something on Youtube, so I set it playing on the TV while I sorted out the kitchen. The ads were just absolutely nuts. In less than an hour I lost count of the number of times I had to skip totally randomly timed ad breaks. What's more some happened only minutes apart, were unsuitable for the pre-school content she was watching, and many ads were totally random lengths with some even longer than the original video. More than once it tried to play literally a full hour of Peppa Pig as an 'advert'. Normally I watch occasional Youtube stuff on my PC with an adblocker, so it this isn't a problem. Next time I'm just going to cast the videos from the PC to TV.
