It's a shame that the UK never got onboard with the whole Consumer Access Module thing for tvs because that's what most of them expect if you're doing it that way, but I think the only times I've ever used it is for Boris Johnson Makes A Vital Covid Announcement An Hour Late, the internet is down, and Tigers. cat tax

I'm weirdly warm. Monday night I couldn't get warm for trying, jacked the heating right up and my living room was 25C. Last night I had the heating on but not as much. Today/tonight warm enough with no heating at all despite it being the coldest night so far (-1C expected to get down to -5C overnight) and my living room is at 19C. Weird... or what?

It won't be some big bang thing - the over the air TV by aerial.may be but linear TV over multicast IP is already a thing. Plug the old dears' smart TV into the router and they won't notice the difference for a while longer. Worst case linear is strictly less functional than on demand so you can fake the former with like a script built on the latter. And as I say in two decades (one is optimism from the bbc) they will have/need a router anyway. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Dec 8, 2022 |

In terms of why there's a shortage of any given medication -- pharmacies do not get this information as a rule. But the supply chains are just as fragile as every other industry with just as little flex, so a small increase in usage will lead to sudden shortages. And increasing the supply of drugs at the manufacturing end takes months or years. We've seen a lot of antibiotic scripts and there's no increase in supply possible so now there aren't any. It sucks and I cried at work because I am tired of being shouted at. It is not my fault, people. I'm on a tenner an hour. I just work here.

I quite enjoy watching broadcast tv when I'm back at my parents' house, it's nostalgic and reminds me of a time when media consumption was less atomised ...for about half an hour, before I realise that it's 90% unwatchable garbage

It's funny watching broadcast tv at my parents now, it's like being wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket of Countryfile, antiques shows and 'gentle' comedy-dramas. It's perfect for old people to have on in the background as a reassuring hum while they potter around the house.

The Torygraph is running a story how it's disgraceful that soldiers who are getting paid less than ambulance crews will be forced to cover them over Christmas because of the strikes, not realising that the response was going to be "well the government should pay the soldiers more as well". It is impressive how badly the Tories are misreading the mood of the country at the moment.

Isn't there a massive scandal ongoing with servicemen suing the MOD for accommodating them in dwellings that haven't seen significant maintenance since the 70s? (Because they were sold to a private landlord lol). Luv to run an authoritarian state when you underpay and abuse your security services. That never ended badly for anyone. - many Roman emperors.

All my mates who joined the navy had living expenses low enough that they were able to buy houses when they got kicked out for shenanigans. Not nice living on a ship but any worse than an 18 year old's first flat? It is cold today.

Watching the Harry and Megan doc and it is almost entirely about how utterly loving dreadful the British press is. That’s it’s focus. Let’s see how many stories about that make it onto the news websites.

Camrath posted:Thank Christ I managed to find a few more day’s supply by rooting through drawers, spongebags etc. But unless I can sort something out (or go down to half doses) I still run out in less than a fortnight. Just in time for a stressful af Christmas. Woo! Our procurement team have said there's none in stock at the wholesalers so you might be out of luck unfortunately. I like to double check as "out of stock" can mean a lot of things, ranging from "discontinued in 2003" to "we don't have it at the moment, but can get it in this arvo".

A bunch of people saying "Oh it's going to be a bit of an inconvenience for me to travel" and what happened to the main event the Headline was talking about? quote:Update: This story has been updated to remove an interview with an individual whose travel plans are unlikely to be affected by the strikes. Absolutely top tier BBCing. Such neutrality.
