Tarnop posted:It was an unjustified dig, I'm sorry. I'm just pissed off and waxy. Eh, I didn't even take it as a dig. Remember, we're all on the same side here. Budget eating: you'll trigger an avalanche but the secret is not a secret: buy staples and mix and match e.g. get frozen chicken breast, a bag of sprouts, a bag of frozen peas, and packet rice. Portion that out and it'll get you 6 goodish full meals for under 8 quid at Aldi. Carrots and potatoes are still cheap, make a dirty mash if you don't want the rice. Add in butter, salt, pepper, herbs to taste. And so on. And of course, allow yourself a choccy bar or bag of crisps or whatever you like, we're not ascetics. The actual secret that they won't tell you is to only really have one big meal a day.

Politicians will cry about their principles (lol) being abandoned by other members of their party and then immediately forget all about it when they're offered filthy lucre because they're venal shitheads who only actually give a poo poo about themselves, not something stupid like principles.

I was hoping Braverman would stay binned and at least Coffey would go as well. Braverman is a big problem and being invited back to one of the big jobs on the basis of virtually no experience and some truly shocking bad opinions is insane. Is it just the psycho office these days? Just pop a lunatic in there who can bang on about illegal immigrants and giving protesters the death penalty. gently caress this country.

Because they don’t care and her ‘resignation’ was actually 1) a sacking they agreed to disguise to give the impression the Trussy was still queen bee 2) part of the motions to collapse the Truss government and install a new leader

Who gives a gently caress about the email misdemeanor or whatever That woman is a vicious ghoul who publicly fetishizes about exporting asylum seekers. She thinks 'tofu eating wokerati' is a real zinger. There's not a single redeeming feature about her and it's shocking that anyone would want her as the face of government.

Was thinking just now about that Pratchett quote he puts in the Patrician’s mouth about how most people mostly just want tomorrow to be mostly like today, after listening to a podcast with the latest scholarship on why revolts are so rare. Hypothesis: predictability is actually the thing people want most in life because you can’t plan for the future without it. The biggest barrier we face to getting people behind changes to make their lives better is that those changes make their lives less predictable. Nobody can actually function under conditions where chaos rules, you don’t know whether it’s better to be a hyper-capitalist hustler or a communist agitator and if you pick wrong it’s a death squad / gulag, your kids might get eaten at any time by a demon of Tzeentch etc. And people are reluctant to take a risk on publicly supporting a change until they have cover for doing it. So people really hate anything that increases uncertainty. They hate this more than they hate their standard of living decreasing predictably, in a way they can plan around. To cope with this without going mad, normal brains invent reasons why the status quo is actually cool and good. A few weirdos don’t do this but that capacity is equally likely to result in Jordan Peterson as it is Karl Marx or Galileo. Implications: - radical change can only happen if the government fucks up so badly that they create too much uncertainty over the future. Supplemental: this is why Lizzy T really got shanked. She reduced the relative risk of going socialist v sticking with Tories. - the main aim of any socialist party is to get the masses onside; the way to achieve this is to reduce the risk and uncertainty people the masses feel as a result of supporting socialists. I think this tracks for why running food banks etc is so effective, it makes us a known quantity with positive associations. It may also imply that politically you should never run a funding or benefit program unless you are so well resourced that you will never have to turn anyone down, because if users have only got a 50% chance of it working out in their favour, that’s scary uncertainty and they’ll be more pissed off if they ask and don’t get. But then that hits the moral barrier of, sometimes you just need to just help whoever you can. I suspect this is a big question for unions that haven’t got critical mass, for example. - accelerationists are focused on the wrong thing. People don’t revolt because of how badly oppressed they are in objective terms. People revolt because either they can’t figure out whether whatever they’re doing to try to survive will work or not, or because they are convinced it will not. Turns out we can accept an awful lot of predictable oppression (some of the research cited was on how enslaved people rationalised things, some was on how people in concentration camps survived)! But put us in a situation where live or die is 50/50 and we don’t understand why, and we will riot.

Electric question. Got a Neff induction hob. Worked just fine for 7 years. Trying to make tea and when it gets switched on, that circuit trips. If it's in standby mode then it is fine but as soon as the hob is turned on the circuit trips. Went outside, reset the breaker. Tried again, happens again. Changed fuse in hob plug, rest breaker, happens again. Tried in different plug socket, reset breaker, happens again. To me that means the hob is probably dead and needs repairing/replacing. Sound right? Any other testing that could be done?

Almost always if it worked fine before, and nothing else has changed, then it's knackered. Jeherrin posted:You are almost certainly tripping an RCD breaker, which protects against shorts.

Basically on the box outside with the breakers on, it's the individual switch for that circuit that needs flicking back rather than the whole house. Is that the difference between them? It's now unplugged.

MCBs can trip fast too in the event of a complete short circuit, which is what I suspect you have there, or the individual breaker could be an RCBO (both in one, newer). You could get a load tester, but those are either expensive or vaguely suspect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HQGXZU2d4I I'd assume knackered, no user serviceable components within.

You might remember me posting a few years back about the pigs trying to nail me to the wall for violent disorder at a protest, and it looks like the hammer has dropped. I’ve been charged, though because I found out through someone pointing me towards a court listing, I don’t know what with. Presumably what I’m expecting but you never know. Anyhow, it hit me like a ton of bricks at first but I’ve recomposed myself. It’s scary but I’ve not compromised my own moral code and that would be far worse than theoretically breaking a law set by someone I probably wouldn’t even get on with. Worst case is a bit of prison time, though it’s my first offence if they convict and I’ve not been involved in that world for a long time. To be fair, even if worst comes to worst i tend to get along with people and I’m fairly stacked and hairy, so I think I’d be okay. And I’d end up absolutely ripped from lots of working out and not much food, probably meet some interesting characters, experience something not many people ever do, and generally get to be the ‘guy who’s dead nice but also went to prison for a bit so don’t mess with him’. All in all I’m not feeling as bad as I expected, other than having to shell out for legal help. loving pig bastards.
