marktheando posted:My boss goes out of her way to buy the old style light bulbs from some shady shop lol. They're useful for dummy loads, incubators, and keeping sheds from freezing during winter. Not much else though. Those decorative 'vintage style' bulbs where the filament never gets above yellow-orange seem to be in style now too.

Kegluneq posted:Lol at this profligate young man spending money on light bulbs when he could just sit in the dark If you're in a house with electric heating only, that's pretty useful during winter, you can set the heaters a bit lower. Most of that is radiant heat too, so it warms quite evenly. Putting the big light on a bit early to warm the bedroom up during winter months was a fairly typical thing. They still suck terribly during summer, and have lifespan issues and all that, and it would be far better to have LED lights and a quartz heater and not live in typical British housing stock, but I don't think you can say it's a flat 82% saving. Radiant heaters are only about £9 now too, or you could probably get something like that next to free on gumtree, but that wasn't the case when the ban first started to come in.

Cerebral Bore posted:The gently caress would an actual small business owner care about corporation tax? Are even a significant amount small businesses in the UK incorporated? The two problems with corporation tax are that there isn't any banding, so a small coffee shop pays the same rate as a regional cafe chain, and loopholes, so an international coffee chain pays gently caress all. Really though, most small businesses would benefit a lot more from an increase in the amount of money that ordinary folks had to buy stuff with than they would a reduction in corporation tax.

It sounds like a lot of the criticisms from actual small businesses could be alleviated with banding, with a separate small profits rate to the main rate. That would help out the 'couple of joiners/plumbers/electricians form a limited company to limit their liability on large contracts' lot without helping the 'why can't I hire someone for an hour a week on a pittance?' lot. What are the main reasons against banding corporation tax? I suppose it could create additional loopholes for larger companies to exploit, and there are arguments that most small businesses like that should be aiming to minimize their profits by paying themselves salaries rather than dividend related trickery anyway.

jBrereton posted:If Labour's policy is not to gently caress up small business with more legislation (a good idea, this last government has added a huge admin burden) then doing stuff like banding corp tax is not a flier. There may in practice be additional admin, but it wouldn't be for the small limited company.

Fixed term legislatures with an allowance for early elections in the event of a loss of confidence seem to work well under the Westminster model in Canada and Australia. Really the worst part of the FTPA is that it allowed calling a snap election 'because everyone feels like it' rather than requiring the loss of confidence of the House.

Wasn't the last tube bomb a White British guy on the autism spectrum with no political motivation? Or at least conveniently not described as terrorism. Fortunately it fizzled, and the vast majority of people with autism or learning disability aren't likely to blow you up on a train either.

CoolCab posted:Also, it's only half of the game, which is why it's so loving awful to play. There's supposed to be a second stage where owning property and money is disadvantageous and the tension is surviving the capitalist stage without snowballing so much you lose in the second (which is religiously themed, iirc?) Instead there's just a big family argument and everyone goes away feeling unfulfilled, which is what the current consensus on late capitalism seems to be. e: 343 was when St. Nicholas died, which is why we play classic board games at Christmas to remember his suffering.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Monopoly chat: My family set had wooden houses and hotels, the player pieces, boot, dog, etc were the same wooden blocks with a 2d paper token wedged in it. My parents always told me the reason everyone else had metal playing pieces was because our set came from my grandparents who had donated their monopoly pieces to be melted down into spitfires to win the war. It's possible that they donated them along with a larger pile of scrap metal, but it seems unnecessary as most of them were pot metal or similar.
