The Question IRL posted:Oh I'm sure there is lots if reasons why it wouldn't work in real life. The Americans did actually play with the idea of using sticky foam, based on insulation foam but with more propellant for both increased range and increased expansion, for less-lethal riot control in the 80s (which was of course the peak period for extremely (and justifiably) angry demonstrations outside US embassies), which is probably where he got the idea from. Now they abandoned the idea for a couple of reasons (not least that there's very obvious suffocation issues) but one of the main reasons was while they were demonstrating it for the news everybody noticed the special, highly-secret solution they were using to remove the foam from the soldiers being used as guinea pigs was actually just Johnson's Baby Oil with the labels torn off the bottle, and every revolutionary in the world took a trip to their local equivalent of Mothercare.

Thanks for the advice, all. Looks like I’ll be back in action this weekend then.Bobby Deluxe posted:Has your sense of taste / smell returned? Was worrying about this the other day, seems sort of important. Hard to say. The other day I could smell something constantly, which I eventually realised was the inside of my own nose (given you mentally block it out, having lost my sense of smell I stopped doing this so that was a weird 24 hours). My sense of taste is.. muted, but certainly better than it was at the weekend. I’ve obviously not been cooking this week (due to both feeling too rotten and the health risk factor), so we’ll have to see how things shake out next week.

Are people still getting the loss of taste/smell? I was under the impression that's way less common with omicron, and I never noticed it (probably because I have no taste at the best of times lol). I wonder if some of the other variants are still kicking about in much smaller numbers?

Time for a Goon to step up and and offer to be Camrath's official fudge taster for the next couple of weeks. Re various covid rules - don't forget Wales is different to England as I expect Scotland & NI are. Can't be arsed digging out the welsh rules but no covid pass required after Friday 18th is one I remember. Expect to remove other rules after 28th Feb but not definite yet. Masks still mandatory in shops and health centres. I wish the Great British Press would make it clear when Al Johnson is making rules for England and when for the Uk. Eg this £150 council tax milarkey - while it does now apply to Wales following recent decision by the senedd, when it was all over the press at first it was just for England.

My back fence/gate already needed a barricade yesterday, and that storm didn't even go through where I live, so it's looking grim for it surviving tomorrow. Looking forward to having an argument with my neighbour when his loose roof tiles he's done nothing about for over a year fall on my roof and cause damage.

I was under the impression that's way less common with omicron, and I never noticed it (probably because I have no taste at the best of times lol). I wonder if some of the other variants are still kicking about in much smaller numbers? I definitely did. I didn't lose my sense of taste completely but there are certain things I can't taste currently, it's super weird. I didn't realise I'd had any loss the first few days because things tasted fine, then it turned out it was just those things that tasted fine and other stuff didn't

It's proper windy down here in civilisation and we weren't even covered by the yellow warning for the last storm or the red one for the next, gently caress knows what it's like where the warnings are in force. Mind you we also have all the tall buildings acting like the Death Star and focusing winds in weird places - I was walking across this bridge earlier and out of nowhere suddenly got hit by 30-40mph gusts from what felt like every direction, making the bridge bounce around so much I actually undid my jacket and started clocking where the nearest ladders were just in case I suddenly found myself in the drink.

I don't know what it is about that model of bridge, but crossing them always makes me a little nervous. They bounce around far too much at the least provocation. I know that's by design and makes them more stable but boy do they give me a sweat.

I know that's by design and makes them more stable but boy do they give me a sweat. That's the thing, this one generally doesn't (it's cousin here does, to the point where I try to remember to take the long way round to avoid it), because despite appearances it is actually anchored at both ends. This is the first time I've even been aware of it moving, which is what freaked me out quite so much, along with being hit by winds that were making it pretty hard to stay upright.
