learnincurve posted:My lad has been officially put on the incapable for work list but as a added bit of torture, as a treat, we won't know what money he will be entitled to for another 7 working days. I heard back from the IIDB people a few weeks ago. They say yes I'm disabled, yes I have the condition I said I did, yes it's lifelong and yes it was caused by my old job. They also say it's only 4%* disablement because I seemed fine on the day of assessment (I was fine because I haven't worked full time in ten years and haven't worked at all the last 5), and they don't pay out unless you are at 14%* or more. Currently appealing it with a big letter that properly hosed up my hands trying to write, but not hugely optimistic they won't bump it to 13.9% and say gently caress you we're still not paying. * Of what, i'm not sure. 4% of total possible capacity? Compared to another person? Compared to the worst possible disability?

It's reassuring to see that Rishi is getting poo poo for jetting off to California for 'talks', where he just happens to have one of his 12+ known homes during run-up to Christmas, and loving hilarious that he's now been dragged back by business leaders for emergency talks. People aren't happy that he hosed off when people needed him the most. I think Rishi has destroyed any chance of succeeding when Boris is eventually knifed in the back. fuctifino fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Dec 17, 2021 |

Skarsnik posted:It doesn't mention pubs as such but we are assuming we'll be going back to seated only/table service etc. Rule of six possibly If the case rate doubles every 2 days and it's on 88,376 now, it would exceed the population of Wales the day the Christmas sales start. That's also when we're expecting to get good data on severity. Calculations assume an infinite supply of frictionless, perfectly spherical Welsh people, but I think it's fair to anticipate the same thing as last year where SAGE realised they had to bounce the PM into making the right decision by releasing more and more horrifying forecasts until Boris' reality shield finally ablated. The prerequisite for the decision is him thinking there's no other choice, though really that moment was a week or two ago. Calling it for an evening announcement on the 22nd.

So 2 weeks into being a dad and all I can say is thank gently caress I had 3 weeks of holiday saved up to tack onto the end of my pat leave. My company isn't really that great with the benefits and only provides the government mandated minimum (same goes for pension contributions) so they just give me the two weeks off. At 2 weeks though, we're still not 100% on the feeding or sleeping schedule. My other half is pulling her hair out at the lack of sleep she has due to his feeding cycle (1 hour feeding/changing/settling him and he's up again an hour and a half later for more). He also still has jaundice, spits up a lot after every feed and goes through clothes super quickly as a result. If I was back at work on Monday and wasn't here helping with what little I can, I'm not sure how she'd cope. How does it work in other countries or is paternity leave just one of those things that are free market hosed and it's down to how generous a company is to pay you to be off looking after your new kid.

Did not know this: https://twitter.com/BritainElects/status/1471621182889803777?s=20 Otherwise, my feeling on looking at the results of the various by-elections (councils) is that on the whole the tories are getting a punch in the gob, but not in all cases. But as it is council by-elections, local factors play bigger role.

Homemade paneer is always crumbly. It is impossible to apply enough pressure to make it firm. It still tastes OK but crumbling it into a curry just isn't the same. Flavoured gin is the way to go. Once the mixer is in there you can barely taste the gin. One of my colleagues tested positive yesterday, probably with Delta as that's still the main strain around here. Work still has not told any of us who were in the office with him at the beginning of the week, despite the fact that we created an entire sign-in system designed for this. The result is that all of us who were potentially exposed carried on staffing the customer service desk and attending in-person meetings. One of those meetings was with half a dozen university students, who are travelling home for Christmas to various places all around the country this weekend.

Huh that's weird I've literally never had a decision come without them saying how much I'll be getting on the same piece of paper. Hopefully they'll tell you it's All, but at least he's on the incapable list, from personal experience that much alone must be a load off.

Huge if true (Not kidding; the Tories traditionally have the low cunning needed to actually act on blood in the water and even if it doesn't flip, a big enough swing that it even looks credible is going to be a massive boost to anyone looking to replace Boris. "He's clearly destroying our party's reputation and with it ensuring that our historic win in 2019 will be a one-time affair.")
