poo poo loads of empty shelves in the supermarket, at a guess it's because the chillers couldn't keep things below legal temps and so whole sections were just getting dumped.

Ideally a lot of it may be in the backup but yeah, the freezers like to kick the bucket under strain and if you don't catch it immediately the whole lot has to be binned.

Of course, if the whole lot has gone out, the backups might also have gone lmao, they all run off a central coolant system. Someone's gonna be having a miserable time.

There was a degree of penetration of the qanon stuff especially during lockdown and yes, the US has worldwide influence. But more broadly the tories have long been at war with elements of the institution of the UK government, they are forever saying we should cut parts of the government and civil service down and also have been obstructed on occasion by things like the courts and the upper house, so the spirit is not imported from the US even if the term is.

Another tip for these hot days. If you have any sort of rotating fan, clean the drat blades. Not only does it makes them quieter, but if there is a buildup of fluff/dust on the leading edge, you'll double the output by removing it.

So there you go, you filthy peasants*

The literal head of the british government who acted on behalf of leave.eu and at least two organisations found to have been illegally funded talking about 'the deep state' is loving incredible.

He really would burn everything down if he thought it'd buy him an extra moment as Britain's Biggest Boy, wouldn't he.

I mean that's also true of trump, "the deep state" means "institutional power that I don't like" the same as "small government" means "an abortion cop in every bathroom, no money for health, food, or housing"

Scholars have thrown books at one another about the difference between LORD, Lᴏʀᴅ, and Lord though, which is more comical.

Thankfully, no. However, everything else became slick with sweat and plasma and horror and we had to stop to clean super often. Also it hurts WAY the gently caress more.

Second session tomorrow. But they have a portable a/c being delivered allegedly.

Yup, the canteen at work was selling sandwiches for 50p because the fridges couldn't cope and stock was going to be thrown away at the end of the afternoon.

Open fridges and freezers are dumb and waste energy.
