radmonger posted:I suppose I’m probably cautiously in favour of the recent reforms in Cuba that permitted the existence of family owned resteraunts and so on. Does that count? As I said, I don’t claim to be the leftiest person in the world. I generally think the rules of society should be collectively set by the people, ideally peacefully. I don’t particularly buy the idea, shared by liberals and communists, that there is some form of metaphysical true knowledge of what the right rules _should be_ that overrides that process. It was an example of you being a liberal and more "oh cool, worse than I remember", although of course liberalism has historically been very compatible with racism.

Gonzo McFee posted:It'd be very dumb considering I've already told you my opinion on why her analysis is worth dick. If she has an article about how much work it is to do the type of work that stands up in libel court you really can't dismiss it because she's a lib. I know several journalists working on this type of thing, not in Europe but still. This poo poo takes an INSANE amount of work. Sometimes literally years with months at a time of 12 hour days. And if you don't do it well you face utter financial ruin or worse at the hands of some total oval office and their smug satisfaction at making you suffer.

Anyone with a bit of legal knowledge know what the deal is with salvaging stuff from skips? The advice I've found has ranged from 'it's still the owners' to 'its considered to be abandoned so help yourself'.

Same as salvaging stuff from someone's bin. Salvaging their bank statements and utility bills for example.

Anarchists, still great. Police, still have a primary function of protecting property rights of the haves. Predictable outcome but still enraging. Failing to oppose the Coalition anti-squatting law is one of those poo poo policies of the Miliband years.

We'll have to see - it might get picked in the mainstream press as an excuse to publish glossy photos of riot police (which they love) and that could feed the narrative of "why are there fifty loving police around a single squat, and I can't get anyone to investigate my actual burglary" which would be a good thing.

New Fudge Released! Hey guys! I know it’s been pretty quiet on the caramelised-sugar based goodies front for the past month or so- I caught Covid in February which obviously made me shut things down for a bit, then have had back to back events and markets up till now. Busy times! However now I’m able to settle a bit back into my normal routine, and am very /very/ happy to announce my latest collection of flavours. I’m also running a competition at the moment- it’s very simple. Drop by my Facebook page ( fb.me/fudjit ) and comment on the completion post with a flavour suggestion. I’ll be picking one next week to make, and the winner will receive a free selection box. Simple as! Current flavours Yoghurt - A result of mad science experiments into seeing what other dairy products I can use to make fudge, this is a firmer type- rather like Scottish tablet, with a delicious yoghurt tang at the back end of the flavour burst! Gilded Rose - We went fancy with this one- it was meant to be our valentines special before the plague shut that down. Rose flavoured fudge decorated with golden lustre; the flavour is like Turkish delight, but with a creamy dairy finish. Great for Mother’s Day! Pretzelicious - Making its return after nearly a year! Crunchy pretzels are surrounded by a slightly salted fudge for an amazing set of flavour and texture combos- sweet/salt and crunch/smooth makes for a lovely mouthful! Vanilla Daimomite Strawberry Milkshake Unicorn Barf Salted Caramel Veganilla VeGinger All stock is live at https://www.fudjit.co.uk and costs £3.50 + p&p for each 100g bar. And as always, use the goon code ‘roastbeefisbest’ to get five for four at checkout. Get fudged!

The advice I've found has ranged from 'it's still the owners' to 'its considered to be abandoned so help yourself'. As a recent filler of a skip, you'd have been doing a favour by taking stuff out. Means more room. Filling them has a surprising amount of skill to it so don't stir up the contents too much, don't leave a mess and absolutely don't put anything in.

kecske posted:Anyone with a bit of legal knowledge know what the deal is with salvaging stuff from skips? The advice I've found has ranged from 'it's still the owners' to 'its considered to be abandoned so help yourself'. It's tricky, because the stuff in a skip remains the property of the owner until the skip company comes to pick it up, then it becomes the property of the skip company. So legally you've no right whatsoever to take anything in the skip, and if the stuff has some resale value then it's not impossible the owner might even have contracted with the skip company on that basis (e.g. if there's a lot of insulated copper wire in there, some scrap dealers will actually offer to buy it or at least hire the skip for free, ditto electronics waste and so on) so while in most circumstances the owners won't give a poo poo about people taking stuff out of there in some cases they definitely will care, maybe even enough to ring the police or at least come out and shout at you. (Note: not a lawyer, just someone who has rescued stuff from skips in the past - seriously in 2002 you could have set up your own data centre if you knew which skips to poke around in)

kecske posted:Anyone with a bit of legal knowledge know what the deal is with salvaging stuff from skips? The advice I've found has ranged from 'it's still the owners' to 'its considered to be abandoned so help yourself'. We could use a good appeal case (or a change in the law) to clarify this point, as it's not entirely clear. My assumption for the time being is that whatever's in there belongs to whoever owns the skip, as they've arranged to receive it and it's in their possession and control. Depending on the exact situation, there may be an argument that it also still belongs to the original owner. In practice, you're probably okay as long as you're not taking something that the skip owner might object to, such as if it has scrap or recycling value. (You could always try asking if they mind before helping yourself.) If through some extremely unlikely/unfortunate set of circumstances you end up sitting next to me, then you probably have a good shot at running "at the time, I honestly believed that they wouldn't have minded me taking it" as a defence.
