Homelessness charity Shelter’s staff start ‘unprecedented’ two-week strike
More than 600 staff set to walk out over pay, with Unite saying some workers worried about becoming homeless themselves

More than 600 workers at the housing and homelessness charity Shelter are beginning an “unprecedented” fortnight of strike action on Monday in a dispute over pay – coinciding with one of its busiest times of the year.

The Unite union said a 3% pay increase this year had left some of Shelter’s staff unable to pay their rent and very worried about the possibility of becoming homeless themselves.

Shelter said some of its services would be “temporarily impacted” during the strike, but added: “We are making every effort to continue to serve those in need of our help.”

The two weeks of strike action will see its staff join postal and rail employees and workers across a number of other sectors who are taking part in industrial action over pay in what has been called “the December of discontent”.

Thought I was fairly internet desensitized but goddamn the documentary on C4 tonight with the :nms:filmed autopsy of a young mother who died of cancer:nms: was a pretty tough watch. I thought pretty sensitively done though, genuinely interesting and informative without veering into spectacle.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
So, heating chat.

I've got central heating with the thermostat in the upstairs hall.

Is it better to heat the house with all the doors closed, open, or it won't make a bit of difference?

I figured with the doors closed, each room would individually heat up quicker and then the hall would be surrounded by warmth like an insulation, so it in turn would heat up quicker, not to mention the heat would stay built up in each room too.

I've noticed that if I open the living room door the heat built up "escapes" into the hall so figured closed doors are best.

You can substitute 65g of blood for one egg (~58g) or 43g of blood for one egg white (~33g).

Some sources suggest that this is more humane than how we currently get eggs, especially if you obtain it by flying in through the windows of landlords at night.

To show that they are doing something to display suitable contrition to the fascist press.

Also so that we can laugh at all of the people who opposed Corb's free broadband proposal on the basis of "it'll give the government control of the internet" by proving that they can gently caress up the internet plenty well without giving us anything good.

Speaking of my struggle with eggs

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63864786

quote:

The UK is "sleepwalking" into a food supply crisis and the government must step in to help farmers, the National Farmers Union (NFU) has warned.

Yields of tomatoes and other crops will likely slump to record lows this year, it said, with potential supply problems ahead as already seen with eggs.

Soaring fuel, fertiliser and feed costs were putting farmers under severe pressure, it added.

But the government said that the UK has "highly resilient food supply chain".

Some supermarkets are rationing egg sales after farmers cut back or halted production because of rising costs - a situation made worse by the Avian flu outbreak.

However, the NFU warned that food producers in other areas were now facing difficulties.

It said production of energy-intensive crops like tomatoes, cucumbers and pears was likely to hit its lowest level this year since records began in 1985.

It also said milk prices were likely to fall below the cost of production, while beef farmers were considering reducing the number of cows they breed.
