Finally looking to give this discord a go, but the link keeps saying expired (https://discord.gg/vnWwfX). Does a new one need generated or something? Edit: ^ pizza express seem to survive on vouchers as well. I see their “o2 pizza for a fiver (actually 6.5 because who wants a classic)” has been replaced with “two for a tenner”, and I think like many Italian-fare restaurants they massively rely on booze sales to make up the low spend on food.

Oscar Romeo Romeo posted:Can this be raised/lowered? It looks like one of the desks we can have at work (with lots of complaining and a doctor's note) which have a little pull out thingy on the left hand side to raise and lower the desk. Yes, it’s a standing/sitting desk. You raise it by manually pulling it up and the legs ratchet.

Braggart posted:People were talking about cuckooing earlier. Would that involve an enormous overnight increase in visitors to a flat, so far lasting nearly a week? It's all day every day in a building that was extremely quiet. I am in all day because disabled and any noise made in the stairwell is quite loud inside my flat. I haven't tried to make out what they're saying because that would be nosy, but this is looking weird. At one point on the first day there was a great deal of noise so I looked out and it was 2 guys carrying a chest of drawers up the stairs, so I assumed it was just someone moving into one of the flats. But there are still lots of visitors during the day every day. I don't think it happens at night, or if it does they haven't woken me. Too hard to tell, but if they’ve just moved in a lot of visitors and moving furniture isn’t exactly unusual. If anyone watched Line of Duty (and I know a lot of you did) it had a very good example of Cuckooing in the flat with the fridge. yes, yes, they all have fridges, but there is one in particular.

Hentai Jihadist posted:Dang corbs is looking and sounding significantly older each time I see him, I wonder if that's what's behind the rumours of McDonalds' taking the helm. I've been toying with the idea recently that it could be a good thing for Corbyn to step down sometime soon. He's done amazing things for the party and growing the vote, but there are still a significant amount of people out there who believe he's a communist/anti-semite/hard-brexiter, whatever, and it feels like we're hitting diminishing returns now.

I get that being in opposition means giving the government a kicking when you get a chance, but this doesn't seem like the right hill to do that on... The interesting thing about the act is that as Mindgeek are in favour of it you could block an awful lot of content just by putting some form of verification on their sites (they own pornhub, redtube, youporn, brazzars etc). Except they've no interest in doing that unless everyone else is subject as well. Red Oktober fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Oct 16, 2019 |

Azza Bamboo posted:Ian Blackford showed the house a joint letter sent from Scottish and Welsh representatives to the European Commission. The content of the letter was not discussed, he instead proudly pointed out that the letter was written on paper with a letterhead, was properly addressed and duly signed, inviting the Prime Minister to look upon it as a lesson in how to behave. Which is constantly taking focus away from the actual deal, and is all anyone is talking about.

tritsch posted:I had a walk around Borough market yesterday afternoon (clearing the alcohol related anxiety from the weekend) and they have a decent selection of wild mushrooms but they are on the upper scale of prices I'm willing to pay, otoh I know I could learn to find them but I don't trust myself not to do a death...maybe there is a better/cheaper place to buy than in Borough market? (Might try my local east end one at the weekend) I like Borough Market, but literally every other market in London is cheaper, so if you can find them absolutely anywhere else, that'll answer your question. I can't help with that part though. Its nickname among market traders is 'Thorough Markup'.

Exioce posted:On the subject of housing chat, I dunno why we haven't moved housing underground at scale. Offices and commerce too. The land beneath our feet is pretty much infinite. You could give every person in the country more room than they could reasonably make use of. It's not like people look away from their phones these days anyway to peer at the outside world, and you could just have a digital window showing you a rainforest or some poo poo, if that's your thing. Just get some tunnel boring machines and automate the process. Tracks between underground houses could be used for electrified trams. Pedestrian and biking lanes besides. Then, the land above ground could slowly be turned into a mostly public space (parks, schools, hospitals etc) and a lot of re-wilding done. Probably tech, geology, and cost are the reason, but where there's a will there's usually a way.  edit: ^^^

goddamnedtwisto posted:The 70s block I live in is also a weird hybrid, with the honeycomb (i.e. no supporting walls at front or back) cast-in-place RC construction (and weird overlapping maisonettes) of Balfron but in a low-rise with a (single course!) brick outer. It's stupidly over-engineered for the application and seems to have been a bit of an experiment by the GLC in new ways of building low-maintenance housing right at the tail end of the boom. Would love to read a full on Brutalism post. I'm a big fan when done correctly (Barbican, Hayward, Dunelm House, AT&T Long Lines) but when it's done not so well it can look so bad.
