Pablo Bluth posted:The Morrisons in my north Hampshire town, not an area of particular deprivation, have felt the need to move all the spirits behind locked glass. :everythingisfine: My local Tesco, in a leafy suburb (update your XLSXs) has gone from gentle springloaded knee-high open-format saloon-style barriers and/or simple nylon-rope barriers to show a checkout is closed, to full-on mechanically-operated waist-high closed-face barriers on every checkout and multiple head-height mechanical barrier doors at chokepoints and main doors. There was less security in City 17 FFS. I assume shoplifting is up, can't think why.

The Sainsbury's near me (and the Co-Op too maybe?) have big monitors above the till showing a live CCTV thing of you. One of them has MONITORING IN PROGRESS written on it. All a bit ominous tbh. In fan related chat: took apart a slow-spinning fan the other day to lube the motor with 3-in-1 oil hoping it would help, and now for some reason the fan needs a kickstart to get spinning when the blades are on and still spins at about 10% of the speed it should. Oiling the bearings has somehow made it worse.

our local coop is nearly empty because apparently the supplier just didn't turn up twice last week due to driver shortages they are supposed to be doing a double delivery tomorrow but the manager was saying that will be useless because most of it will end up in reductions oh and the freezers went down last night so they have no frozen stock and barely any fresh meat

peanut- posted:https://twitter.com/AllezLesBoulez/status/1549049127681626112 Given that these same people basically have no views on the things that are happening that 'they' are not talking about much (like war in Ethiopia and the Maghreb, or the global shipping crisis, or TB and cholera back in the UK) I assume they just don't want to talk about anything that is happening. Just like nursery rhymes and 'everything is fine' repeating? Or do they want to talk about the 5 million acts of immigrant terrorism that are happening every minute and that the mainstream media is covering up with stories about the weather?

WhatEvil posted:Anyway, hope you're doing OK, UK goons. A tip I've found to work well for cooling you down (particularly at night) is to bung a bottle of water in the freezer, get it properly frozen, then when you're feeling hot, hold it on the inside of your wrist for a bit. You have high-flow blood vessels close to the surface here, so it does a really great job of cooling your whole body down quickly. Something that I’ve found works way better than I’d expect is tying a bandana around your wrist and soaking it in water. As the water evaporates it cools the body down quite nicely

Z the IVth posted:If the fan spins slowly the motor is on it's way out. Is there any way to extend its lifespan? When I took it apart the motor didn't seem particularly user-serviceable in any way tbh. Might remove the rotating oscillating gear bit just so there's one less thing for the motor to have to spin, but given that it's not set to oscillation mode it's probably not really making much of a difference to the power anyway.

Hopefully they don't work by Grimm's fairy tales, or Ancient Greek myth as like yeah like everyone just dies horrible in them.

They're both cunts, but Johnsons smirk at the end when the questions move on and he's successfully ducked the issue by talking about 1940s tank warfare just sums up everything he's about. Bullshit and bluster til the problem goes away for the time being, then smug because you've successfully dodged the issue for now.
