the boundary changes aren't going to go through this parliament. lab/libs/snp aren't going to vote for them because they increase the tory's advantage (however marginally), and whichever tory MPs are projected to lose their seats are obviously not going to vote for it.

communism bitch posted:Sleeping with my girlfriend is like purgatory most nights. My cycle is that I spend 2-3 nights each week not sleeping because of her sleep-talking, fidgeting and farting, spend a couple nights sleeping soundly because I'm so exhausted, and then once I'm well rested it's back to the routine of being woken up every hour. Sometimes I retreat to the sofa for some peace, but then she comes and kicks me awake at 4am and asks why I left her alone lol Don't Lol me posted:Glad it's not just me with this exact scenario.

spectralent posted:Also about the only time I ever thought uni was overly-PC was the one time a lecturer got really mad at me for saying that HIV prevention and care was a gay issue. She kept insisting it was offensive because "anyone can get HIV". in the US, about 70% of HIV cases are gay men. 25% are straight; 5% are drug users. it is most definitely not just a gay issue and she was right to shut you down, if only because it's a really dangerous opinion

bitmap posted:we're moving over to month to month soon so in the interests of protecting ourselves from a snap eviction we were circling out on the map, looking at where stuff started to get a bit cheaper than the peoples republic of hackney and when we got to catford I just tapped out. I'd move to a commuter town in a second but then the monthly rail card costs almost as much as my rent now I made these a while back, and you might find them useful. They're specifically for my commute to Green Park, but they'd likely look similar for any other central London job. I recommend you right click and open them in their own tab - they're pretty big. I also didn't know much about map services, which is why they're artifact-y as hell. First up we've got house prices, which are like rents but have much better data (thanks, Land Registry):  Next, we've got commute time to Green Park using tube, bus and walking:  And finally there's how expensive the area is compared to all other areas with the same commute :

general charity chat: if you're making a fair buck, think about pledging a fixed fraction of your income to charity. 10% is the usual recommendation, but if you're filthy rich it should be more while if you're just scraping by it should be less be the socialism you want to see in the world

R. Mute posted:Good post, but I'd also like to ask everyone to spare a thought (and a pound) for the less "sexy" charities. I was manning an info booth for one of those at a hippy festival the other week. They're an organisation that focuses on improving healthcare in a couple of African countries - but they don't focus on a specific disease, they don't build hospitals, none of that. They're all about organising transport/access to healthcare, setting up healthcare funds, providing additional training for local medical staff, sharing knowledge - real broad structural stuff. Hard to measure, but incredibly vital. A big part of their goal is to not only keep people alive, but to also make sure staying alive doesn't cost them everything they own. From an EA standpoint, the problem is that why is this charity doing all these things when presumably some are better than others, and it could be doing just the one thing which is the most effective use of it's donors money? This is especially important when you learn that it's really hard to beat the benchmark, which is to just give 90% of the donation to the global poor. That has an efficacy of $7,000/life saved equivalent. coffeetable fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Jun 18, 2017 |

If you've ever wondered 'how on earth did civilization arise in heat like this?', the answer is that repeated exercise in high temperatures alters your body, reducing your heart rate and increasing your sweat response. It takes a few weeks of daily cardio though, so all y'all are just gonna have to suffer. More details.
