Ruth Perry's family have been denied Legal Aid so if you would like to / are in a position to support here is the gofundme. (I haven't put my personalized link because I don't know if that would doxx me). https://www.gofundme.com/f/fund-familys-legal-costs-for-ruth-perry-inquest quote:Just days before the start of the inquest into the death of Ruth Perry – the Reading primary headteacher who took her own life following an Ofsted inspection of her school – her family have learnt that their application for Legal Aid to fund their legal representation has been rejected. More OFSTED bullshit: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2023/dec/02/ofsted-misled-inquest-death-teacher-ruth-perry-training-claim quote:
More distressing info in the article than I've quoted.

Once upon a time I was in a crowded shopping mall and someone accidentally bumped into me. sighing to myself at the inevitability to come, I drew my katana and they were promptly slain.

At least give that person your wakizashi: Wikipedia posted:A popular incident tells how a commoner bumped into Saiheiji Tomo, treasurer of the Owari-Tokugawa family, and ignored him further when Tomo demanded him to apologize. Feeling merciful, the samurai offered the peasant his wakizashi so he had a chance to defend himself, but instead, the commoner decided to run away with his wakizashi, causing further dishonor. The incident resulted in Tomo being disowned from the Owari-Tokugawa clan. He later regained his honor by seeking out the commoner, collecting the wakizashi and killing the whole family.[5]

When I take over, I'll alay all your fears and solve all crime and such by implanting mini-explosives at the base of everyone's neck. There will a free app where you can vote to trigger it at any time.

There's never been a full on war between two nuclear armed powers, so logically mutually assured destruction must also work for solving interpersonal crime.

Guavanaut posted:Capital punishment for people who put wrong things in the recycle bins would lead to a lot of very confused noises from the commentariat. Wikipedia says that the largest discovered pair of sexy primes is as follows p = 11922002779 x (2^172486 - 2^86243) + 2^86245 - 5 p+6 = 11922002779 x (2^172486 - 2^86243) + 2^86245 + 1

English Electric was already a thing and by complex lineage ended up as part of BAE Systems. Although they already produced their own jet fighters so it wasn't that big of a leap.

So it's the most wonderful time of the year again.... It's freezing outside. Today's exercise consisted as far as possible of me pacing up and down inside heated tat emporia on the High Street without buying anything except a bottle of olive oil and some bog cleaner.

Window shopping is nice IMO, it's like the other kind of shopping except you don't have to spend any money and you get 90% of the satisfaction you would get from most of the things on offer anyway.

Sounds like the torc from The Anome (they also travelled around by sort of zeppelins attached to rails but I digress) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anome quote:It tells the story of a boy growing to manhood in the land of Shant, a society composed of many different, and wildly individual cantons, some of which are run by cults. Each adult wears an explosive torc which can be detonated by remote command, bringing about instant death by decapitation. The torcs are controlled by an anonymous dictator, the Anome, whose identity is literally unknown. Because those whose heads are exploded are selected primarily by the cantonal leaders, for violations of local law, the Anome is able to operate with only a handful of assistants, or 'Benevolences', who themselves do not know his identity. and didn't Battle Royale have something similar? I can't check because I gave the book away to a charity shop last year.

We just don't have the opportunity to go on telly the next day and yell it, and also like get encouraged to think like even more killing them Just digging this out again to say this is bullshit. I've gone through some pretty mad hit with random members of the public and i never came out the other side thinking they should be hung. I definitely came out the other side with strong opinions about some of the police involved though. Echoing other sentiments in this thread that there is a big difference between wanting to do some violence for a few moments vs using a significant national platform you have to call for the death penalty.

450g of compressed R290 deflagrating sounds like a quick way to warm a house. A HVAC engineer recommended to me that multiple mini-split systems are a far better way to do heat pumps than having a single fridge-freezer sized external unit serving the whole house, you can have mini inverter-compressors for each zone, and have them heating, cooling, or dehumidifying based on each zone's needs. Only problem is getting hot water for the kitchen and bathroom.

 Owner Gary King, who opened the steakhouse seven years ago, has defended his team's decision to deny Dan his prize and charge him by simply declaring 'the challenge is to eat everything'. However the restaurant's own most recent breakdown of what the challenge includes fails to mention any salad. He admits he did feel sorry for the stuffed customer but claims he should have asked to swap the salad for more chips or onion rings before the challenge began, but he didn't. Gary said: 'It's simple. It's a challenge and the challenge is to eat and clear everything, otherwise it wouldn't be a challenge. 'Had he said to us that he didn't want any salad then we'd have put a few more chips or onion rings on. He didn't say anything at the start or while he was eating it. His exact words were 'I know it's stupid but I'm not going to eat that salad. Not even for £50 because I don't eat salad'. 'I felt sorry when I saw the pictures because if I'd have spoken to him beforehand then he may well have said he didn't want salad. 'Once it's on that table, that's it. there's no point in telling us afterwards because we're not going to strip the salad off and give him a bowl of chips and a bowl of onion rings, are we?’ smellmycheese fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Dec 2, 2023 |
