As a teenager in the 1930s my mum was a housemaid (to a local doctor), if she were still around she'd crush his balls for saying that.  edit: 221b baker street, violins & cocaine... solve the mystery.

https://twitter.com/LeftieStats/status/1784895823735656891 Jesus this would leave the country basically ungovernable. I don't think a parliament like this could even swear in a First Minister, but if they manage it would be a Labour FM getting in on Tory votes presumably. And then the only coalitions that work require Labour or the SNP to work with the Tories or with each other, and I don't see either happening--a Lab-Con coalition would essentially be returning the ball to the SNP right after gaining possession, and an SNP-Labour coalition just seems unrealistic given the long standing animosity. I don't think we'll see early elections in Scotland but if we do I don't think it'll be just the one unless the polling shifts.

WhatEvil posted:On the other hand, their only solution seems to be "more urban sprawl". It's a real problem because just spreading out for miles in every direction and filling it with low density housing is super unsustainable. Those houses bring in less tax revenue than it takes to service all of the roads and other infrastructure needed to serve them - so higher density areas, which are mainly lived in by less well-off people, end up subisidising the suburbs (where richer people live) through their property taxes. What we need is density but Canadians are loving allergic to it*. the zoning reregs in ontario is like the single good thing that's coming out of that shitstains office the complete insane overreactions to high-speed rail are completely incomprehensible to me. plenty of people commute to toronto; when i lived in kw it was pretty common. at least there there exists a provincially run transit system that's affordable if not super fast. i live in the other london now, and the train trips into toronto (~195km) are $73 day-of (one way) and like $40 if you can plan ahead a couple of weeks. complete insanity.

Also, I know it's unfair to pick 30p Lee up on this sort of thing, but he's evoking the "working class housewives cleaning their door steps" trope as a response to 'lefties complaining about filthy streets'. Those women are cleaning their door steps as the public 'face' of their house. They're not scrubbing the pavement or the gutters or the street. That was done by the municipal corporation or the borough council or the district authority or whatever layer of byzantine pre-1972 British local government applied. So yes, Lee, that was the local government's job as part of those quaint old ideas like 'functional public services' and 'civic pride' or even municipal socialism that used to exist but that you're not so keen to hark back to.

Tesseraction posted:Seems a lot of the party up in Scotland want John Swinney to take over. His wiki page doesn't suggest he's either good or terrible, so what is his actual röntgen? He's my high school English teachers brother. He is pretty dull. The teacher had an affair with a Classics teacher and got her pregnant, that was the scandal at our school. His constant trips up 3 flights of stairs to "fill his kettle" in her classroom should have been a clue.

What do we want to take from that era? Municipal power stations that sent waste heat to warm local homes? Nah. Municipal water corporations run with a sense of community responsibility? Nah. Housewives scrubbing doorsteps because that was one of the few politely visible parts of their home life they could affect and show pride in? Yeah!

Bozza posted:There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux! Except Android. Because Google hate freedom (but it didn't exist yet at the time of that rant)

Jakabite posted:What's the advantage of Plex when I can just put stuff in my windows library and my telly detects it and lets me stream it over wifi? You can load up the plex app on your tv and browse through your media Netflix style. Well that and synch up across any device with the app installed. So you can start something in the living room, continue watching part of it upstairs from where you left off and then watch the rest of it on the train to work or whatever. I'm not that much of an a TV addict but having access to your content when you want it is kinda handy. Kin fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Apr 29, 2024 |

Endjinneer posted:What do we want to take from that era? Municipal power stations that sent waste heat to warm local homes? Nah. The Lee Anderson-style "working class Toryism" really does as swing and miss on its idolisation of 'personal responsibility'. Those women scrubbing their doorsteps were only two or three generations removed from their forebears who had experienced the ur-liberalism (as opposed to neo-liberalism) of the 19th century and knew exactly what 'personal responsibility' meant. Anderson thinks it means 'stop moaning, get a job, scrub your doorstep, clean your street'. The Victorian working class did take responsibility for their situation and their improvement. It's why they organised themselves into (illegal) trade unions, formed mutual associations and co-operatives and building societies. They elected people like Joe Chamberlain and Abel Heywood - people who would clear slums, improve sewage, build waterworks, erect street lights and plant parks - to municipal roles when they could. They had no parliamentary voice so they took responsibility for their collective improvement and progress by themselves. "Take more personal responsibility...but not like that." It's a bit like how you can short-circuit ancaps by asking them why unions - a free mutual agreement by colleagues to maximise the leverage of their position and extract maximum remuneration in the market for labour - aren't an expression of small government responsible citizenry.

More importantly Lee wants that back because it's someone else doing the scrubbing.
