It's a well known fact that Rowling wrote HP with Daniel Radcliffe in her mind and only sold the rights to Warner Bros on the condition that she gets to pick the lead actor.

He also didn't say anything about JKR directly this time, just that from a position of his work with LGBT+ charities he knows that transphobia is directly harmful to people's lives. A bit like when MAGA chuds see "gently caress fascists" written on a wall and call it anti-Trump graffiti, kinda telling on themselves. Not telling anything that anyone doesn't know already, but telling that they know we know they know.

The other interesting thing about planned blackouts is the grid operators will be doing load management measures to absolutely crush industrial power consumption so they can keep the juice flowing to the residential users. Accountants start muttering darkly about triads and wander round the plant cutting plugs off kettles. The HASAWA poster will be covered up with a strict set of guidelines on fair and reasonable microwave use. Some bright spark from the labs will work out just how much benzene there really is in the tank farm and they'll feed it into the backup generator, in one stroke turning the site into a net-exporter of power and solving an awkward industrial waste problem, or at least sharing it with the community.

Burning waste benzene in a combustion engine sounds like the best thing to do with it really, since I assume with how the Environment Agency handles plastic waste the actually collected waste benzene just ends up being added to school milk in Bosnia or something.

Warmchat: it'll be rolling blackouts at specific times, because up to a week without power in an uncontrolled fashion will kill people in all sorts of ways you'd never imagine. Most mobile phone masts have about 10 minutes back-up, so nobody is calling an ambulance when you fall down the stairs in the dark. Hospitals will postpone routine surgery, because although their power might be fine, it's dangerous to discharge someone home if they don't have power, especially if they need mains powered medical equipment or temperature-sensitive medications. Literally everything comes to a halt and no amount of thermal underwear will help. That said, planned blackouts are manageable. I don't have a generator because I don't understand them, but got a power bank that can apparently charge my phone 4 times, and my solar radio as an alternative power source. For lighting, I have a battery powered lantern (with spare batteries), battery powered fairy lights (to wrap around the bannister so I don't break my neck getting to the bathroom), candles, a torch, and LED tealights. In terms of cooking, I have one of those camping stoves with a couple of gas cannisters and a thermos. I always have a few Pot Noodles, Cup-a-Soups, and porridge bowls in the cupboard which only need hot water. They're not the tastiest things but hot food is hot food. Powdered milk is OK stirred into hot drinks if you don't want to open the fridge or the power is off for longer than expected. There's also a couple of those cold packs intended for picnic cool bags in my freezer. If the power does go out, they might help the food last longer, and I guess if you need meds keeping cool then they can buy you some extra time. An honourable mention for disposable hand warmers! They warm up when exposed to air and stay warm for a good 8 hours. Useful for if the power goes out suddenly and you don't have time to make a hot water bottle. Lambs wool insoles will also help stop the cold seeping up from the floor, if there's no room in your shoes for multiple layers of socks. Everything else, people have already covered. Maybe if you have any outside space, keep a bucket of rainwater so you can flush a toilet if the water pumps fail. I'm not even a prepper, this is all stuff I've acquired after experiencing storms that knocked out the power for 12 hours and houses that were appallingly insulated and impossible to warm in winter with only night storage heating.

the daily mail informs me jeremy corbyn is a useful idiot of putin. hmmm. i dont believe that entirely but unfortunately it does suggest that corbyn was unfortunately unsuitable to run the country. Admittedly he wouldnt have totally hosed us beyond belief and got kicked out in 45 days, but his current actions do suggest he would have been incapable to deal with and deposed in a situation such as we find ourselves with ukraine.

Maybe if he'd been taken seriously in 2018 when he proposed penalizing Russia by expropriating all their assets in London and getting Russian money out of British politics they wouldn't have decided to gently caress around in Ukraine in the first place, and it was partly tacit financial appeasement that encouraged them. Who knows now? I remember the Daily Mail opposed that though, it was communism or something.

Guavanaut posted:The newer ones are fairly self explanatory. It is an amazingly unfortunate name - but it's just the merger of the diesel engine company started by Clessie Cummins and the electrical machinery company started by David Onan. Generators aren't difficult - they start like a petrol lawnmower, they have an On/Off switch for the power and sockets to plug stuff in. Just don't do something stupid like run it indoors and definitely don't get an Illegal Death Cable to plug it into your wall sockets. And don't plug sensitive electronics into one that hasn't got an inbuilt inverter. I've got an ancient 1970s 2700W portable genny which I bought for £75 on eBay years ago when I was building a shed and new fences at the bottom of the garden and it was more convenient than getting a really long extension cable from the house. Never thought I'd be sizing up what I can and can't run off it in the house in the UK in the 2020s. A functional modern nation with the 6th largest economy in the world...

On the subject of backup power stations, I ended up going for one of these after a few days of research. It has pretty good reviews among friends of friends who spend time off grid as well as reviews on Amazon & youtube, and offers 288Wh for £199.  It's Lithium Ion, but I think it's worth the risk over cost... at least in my eyes. I need to be able to guarantee I can continue to use my medical vapes, and to also keep my entertainment tablet, mobile and PMR handheld radio charged. I'm also looking at some 12V bulb options too so I can light whichever room I'm in. The only 220V device I may occasionally use will be the Volcano vapouriser for a few mins at a time, so it won't be under any heavy strain at all. The heaviest use would be charging up 2x18650 batteries, which I have to do 2-3 times a day. The power station can be charged by wall socket, 12V car socket, solar panel or USB C charger, and has various protection things like over charge and overload. Depending on how things go with society, I might look into getting a 100W solar panel at some stage. I also bought a 256GB SD card which I'm going to cram with various TV entertainment for the tablet, as I won't be able to power my PC if there's a blackout. I guess I can't be any more prepared than this. fuctifino fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Nov 4, 2022 |

Personal opinion, I’d highly recommend picking up a headlamp if you’re concerned about power cuts. A portable light that’s more practical than your phone’s flash bulb is a bloody godsend, and as an added bonus actually has practical uses outside of a power cut if you’re trying to do any task which requires strong directed light in an otherwise dark area (just think of any time you’ve had to struggle with a phone’s flash to check a leak under a sink or whatever). I have a black diamond revolt 350, and the amount of light it puts out in high power mode can illuminate an entire room (and as a warning, it will temporarily blind anyone who tries to look at you, like you’re loving god), while it’s low power mode can be used comfortably to navigate dark environments at home or read or paint warhammer minis or whatever else you want to do in your cold dark flat on hell island. Has a red-light mode too to avoid loving up your dark vision, and can be USB charged or powered with AAA batteries. Unsure of the exact battery life but I’ve heard it can do about 200 hours of light on low. Seriously can’t emphasise enough how much it felt worth it after just one or two basic maintanence tasks. Doesn’t have to be that lamp exactly but the first time you’re in a cellar or round the back of a washing machine doing something that requires two hands and realise you don’t need to hold your phone for light, you will wish you’d bought one earlier.
