Sounds like something stuck in the brake caliper which has since dropped out

Gort posted:Sounds like something stuck in the brake caliper which has since dropped out Yeah I assume they did something not quite right putting the brakes back together after the MOT but both the discs and the pads are due for replacement soon so not overly bothered. There didn't appear to be any groove dug into the disc so hopefully it's fine.

Also that there's a good amount of Gen X cosplaying in the same way as Boomers do with the Blitz, and the rest is people Walting what other people went through or heavy rose tinting.

I suppose if you could afford anthracite nuts and had a nice Aga or Franklin stove or Kitchener range it would be a charming memory watching your da move the burning rocks around while all the bad bits went elsewhere, which is a nice metaphor. (Also lmao reminiscing about the blocks of gender neutral outhouses given everything else that lot go on about.)

Also holy poo poo I found a good candidate for "Bobby Deluxe posted:Two wolves: Eat a bowl of dog poo poo Jackie. One thing that the 1970s is notable for is (cn: suicide) changing the entire natural gas network in the 60s in good part because of the number of women sticking their heads in the oven, and that not working because they just switched to barbiturates or rat poison in the 70s. And then attempting to ban those and that not working so well either because they switched to the cord and noose. And then loving eventually opening up about root causes and mental health.  Ah but at least they didn't talk about it to disrupt your Sunday dinner.

There didn't appear to be any groove dug into the disc so hopefully it's fine. I don't think they actually take the brakes apart for an MOT? They do a brake test on a roller but shouldn't dismantle anything unless it's as part of repairs related to the MOT.

I think there is a visual inspection of the brake pads to check that they are not too worn as well. But yes, nothing is removed during the MOT.

I've heard some plausible theories that a massive drop in unstructured play in early childhood might be a big cause of that. Of course "we replaced all your peer group interactions with an algorithm designed to monetize your free time for the benefit of anonymous venture capitalists" exists entirely within the Euler circle of "less unstructured play".

Pistol_Pete posted:Cambridge is so loving stupid: a world class university and a thriving centre of hi-tech industry, crammed into the footprint of a medieval city and surrounded by hundreds of square miles of empty fields. The trouble is it was only ever supposed to be the university. That is literally why it exists because a bunch of people from Oxford got tired of being murdered by townies and buggered off to the middle of nowhere to build their own new university with blackjack and hookers. ARM wasn't something they foresaw. I am assuming, as well as transport being about 1/3rd the size it needs to be, there's the Oxford problem where all the greenfield outside of the city itself is under the supervision of not-Cambridge rural councils stuffed to the gills with rich Tory NIMBYs.

Nationalization: Reading some comments elsewhere that 'it takes a long time to nationalize'. I don't see why it should? Can the govt not simply announce something like: "as of the now, this industry is nationalized, we will buy shareholders out at 50p - or whatever - per share, and all payment of dividends will cease, no new logos at considerable expense will be required, all employees will transfer across at the same terms and conditions on which they are currently employed, all customers will transfer on the same terms and conditions under which they are currently contracted. Noone's t&c will worsen. There will be an immediate moratorium on all impending price increases and we will reduce prices back to 2020 levels by the end of 3 months (or whatever)." Never mind the law, laws can be changed and pretty sure there's a statutory instrument lying around that means it doesn't need to go through parliament. It would have to be done swiftly and without warning to stop the PTB in the companies from asset-stripping. And only about 3 people in the govt would be 'in' on it because otherwise it would leak and said asset-stripping would go on apace. I assume I'm missing something major (as far as I can see, it requires only political will which yes I know is in very short supply at present.) And it would have to be a mass instant renationalization of several industries eg water, energy, transport so the b*grs won't have time to transfer assets out of the UK.

I really wish we lived in this fantastical loving world these useful idiots thought we did where big corporations are all in cahoots to *checks notes* implement global socialism, green energy and massively improved living conditions. That sure would be terrible instead of making sure nothing changes and we all know our place. Imagine the chaos and uncertainty!
