I think I see the Tory plan: • Devise policies so awful that even their traditional supporters will turn away from them and vote Labour • Cross the floor just before election and be welcomed with open arms into Labour • Keep job and opportunities for lucrative directorships

The Tories are going to soon be getting the boomer generation to sign over their houses to pay for their end of life care, so why not double gently caress them by dropping the triple lock? What are the old people going to do about it? Protest?

There was a while back also advice that you should abstain from strenuous exercise for 6 weeks after a covid infection, as the inflammation could lead to long-term issues.

bit of a weird aside but can anyone explain to me in incredible idiot terms how the UK CMA has such far reaching jurisdiction? The story of forcing Meta to sell Giphy has me scratching my head as both businesses are based in the US. They also claimed jurisdiction over the healthcare giant Roche despite it not having any market presence or UK customer base.

Thanks, I feel like poo poo already so that's good! This fever is hard to get down. I'm taking both ibuprofen and paracetamol now and sitting with a wet rag around my neck to help cool myself. I am feeling better the cooler I get. Been falling asleep bundled in covers and then a cat sits on me and superheats me.

It might be worth pointing out too that not everyone can 'just get' a provisional license. I used to have one (lmao) but then my eyesight got worse and now I'm not allowed. Which is some bullshit. No way I'd be worse at driving than some of the fuckers on the road. Oh, you can't see, you're not allowed to drive? Fascists. I need to renew my passport actually. Might get the Irish one.

Try to remember that you only *think* you're cold, so lots of blankets is only *something* of a solution and can make things worse in some situations. Do what you need to do to be comfy.

Fun observations after being out of the country a long time. Had a low tyre pressure warning on the M1 today. Pulled in at a service station and since when did they start charging for air at servos?! gently caress giving them £1.50 for a bit of compressed air.

I think I boiled the virus and most of my brain cells out of my body doing it. I blame all of my subsequent posts on this. * Like a small square bit of electric blanket to warm your feet

I think it varies by location, but yeah motorway services are basically capitalism condensed into a square mile. I keep meaning to get my own foot pump or something because I hate using the machines. Some places you might be able to get a token if you fill up there.

I bought one for my sciatica (it's great) but then the cat found out about it and I caught her trying to get it down off the bookcase, so I had to give it to her and buy myself a second one. It's amazing and I plan to live on it since our house is gonna be chilly all winter.

Half cocked memory here but something like that. WTO rules. Canada just ate a big loss against China because they were giving subsidies to companies to move to Alberta and only employ local workers for example. There are arguments for and against but actively punishing shortening the travel distance of goods is something that badly needs fixing. A lot of people who voted for brexit were dumb fucks confusing the EU with the WTO.

You'd think "don't tit about with compressed air and definitely don't put the nozzle up your arse because your colon might explode" would be more of a discouraging factor than the price of a can of pringles on offer, but I guess that's what they call a nudge unit.
