Because the alternative if you don't is potentially worse. "Is it worse to not know?" is and always should be the safety metric. Also reminded me that I read the most  news comment today mad at not just one but three things that exist entirely in my head Just needs to work migrants/Islam/Travellers in somehow and it's bingo  Norman! They're building mosques outside again! The Question IRL posted:The part that gets me is how some people on Twitter are trying to explain how if you are discussing this being about a slap without looking at some other vantage point then you have missed the point or lost at social media.

So from what I can piece together, Staines' ground is on land owned (indirectly) by a hedge fund, and the owner of the club has been trying to buy it from them for years with court cases flying back and forth and the fans of the club not really trusting either party that much, and this is either the owner of the club going full purple-ink or someone trying to make it look that way.

Brendan Rodgers posted:I hope that's not how lifts work. I mean they shoudn't crash but she would be stuck in it if the power went out. Lifts don't run on unicorn farts. Though I suppose if unicorn farts are of a different density to air you could theoretically make a lift that used them as ballast. Also you've now got me wondering if the saltburn cliff lift would run without power, I think it probably would but I don't know exactly how the operation functions, but I think it is just water powered and brake controlled, so it should get you to the end of the cycle at least. Although at the moment granted it doesn't work at all because it's a victorian water idiot contraption but if it did work then it would probably work without power.

Actually looking it up apparently it does still (theoretically) work and is generally quite reliable given its age, they just never opened it for the last few years because turns out locking twelve people in a tiny box is a bad idea. Hopefully it hasn't seized up cos it is quite fun. Also the source of the jeremy corbyn sickos image. Also when looking it up I discovered the extremely victorian initial power source: quote:In 1924, an AC electrically-operated water pump was installed to replace the 1913 DC generator and pump arrangement, which had earlier replaced the coal gas-fuelled four-cylinder Crossley-built internal combustion engine-driven water pump.[1] OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Mar 29, 2022 |

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Apparently it caused the DLR to stop I posted about it on the last page, but have since found out a bit more. The big substation next to Poplar DLR went on fire. This took out (among other things) the lighting in the Blackwall, Rotherhithe and Limehouse Link tunnels, the radio system for the DLR (not the supply current itself but they can't run it without radio in case of emergencies), and power to most of Canary Wharf and other buildings built after about 1987 throughout Tower Hamlets. It makes sense in retrospect that power to the older buildings would come in a different way but it's still interesting how sharp-edged the divide seems to have been. Still doesn't explain the power cuts in bits of Ilford, Greenwich and Hammersmith(?!) that seem to be connected, and have all now somewhat ominously changed on the UKPN site from a breezy "We expect power to be restored by 1500" to a rather less breezy "To Be Confirmed".

Went to work yesterday after having a tooth removed, not the smartest thing I've ever done. Speaking of not smart things. On the weekend a gang on the night shift said they'd been forced to work 13 hours because they'd worked from 8pm to 9am. No amount of explaining about the clocks going forward would move them. Still, 12 hour shifts are poo poo and can gently caress off.

Give them the extra hour imo Government wants to create fake rear end hours, people should be paid for them. Double pay if you have to work over the other one where there's two 1.30ams too because poo poo's confusing

If the clock goes forward you've worked 13 hours, if the clock goes back you have worked 13 hours and also you should get an hour off next shift because you already worked that hour twice. This is a bad picture of what I think is a little egret which I took because I have not seen one before and it was chilling in the river.

I remember at one place I worked there was a week-long argument on the mailing list for the NOC (at the time on the suicide shift pattern - 4 12 hour days, 4 12 hour nights, 4 off) about how overnight shifts should be handled on the switch to BST, including long and baroque derails about how even if you were on a day shift it still effected you because your shift ended at 7 pm one day and started at 6am the next. The sharper of you might have picked up from that last one what the real problem was - the shifts always went on GMT *for precisely this reason*. It was the nerdier version of the bodybuilding.com 7 days argument (any excuse to post this): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eECjjLNAOd4

They used to switch off all the ATMs for at least 2 hours when the clocks went back, I'm not sure if any still do, but it was definitely over the stupidity of someone withdrawing money at 1.30am and then at 1.15am 45min later, even though the master log would have each line in UTC at some point.

We will all scatter like autumn leaves before the terrible posting power of the toddler raised in a world where nothing is forgotten. They will be asked their opinion, and we will all tremble before their pronouncements, while lesser beings shake their fists in impotent fury at "this you?" they will rise above it, great and terrible, cast from the crucible of twitter undeterred, unhindered, their antecedents burnt to ash by the blistering atomic heat of their takes. Those unprepared to be ratioed should not enter the posting coliseum.
