This is incredibly petty and childish. But then again so is Brexit, so fair play.

Bardeh posted:Boiled sprouts are loving disgusting and slimy. Roasted sprouts, as long as you do 'em just right, are fine. Sprouts fried in butter with a bit of bacon - gently caress. yes. Had roasted sprouts for the first time this christmas (I'm 30) and holy poo poo they're an absolute delight. So much sweeter and flavorful, instead of being little balls of fart.

We should dig out (literally) those machines that drilled the tunnel, and just make massive underground train tracks to every country within reach.

WhatEvil posted:We were just talking about job applications the other day: I'm still salty about a practice verbal reasoning test I had to do in the middle of jan. The way these work - you're given a block of text like you'd find in a poorly written encylopedia. With the text is a statement, and using only the information in the text you have to say if the statement is true or false, or if you cannot say. The problem is, these things are all bullshit, and the writers can't keep to their own loving standards of what language means Like in this one:  The explanation they've given doesn't actually have anything to do with the statement - it's just describing properties that Testudines have, and saying that they're therefore turtles. It's almost affirming the consequence (As in "Dogs have 4 legs, Cats have 4 legs, therefore Dogs are Cats") except they've mangled the text in their explanation - the extract doesn't say that "Testudines are characterized by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield", it says that Turtles are. And if the explanation is garbage, it's useless as a training tool (also any recruitment test that you can train for is probably bullshit). Also, that's not what a collective noun. You wouldn't say "a testudines of turtles" like you would "a gaggle of geese" or "a fleet of ships" - they're acting like "Testudines" is a synonym for "turtle", but the second loving sentence admits that there's some ambiguity about whether Turtle = Testudines, so something like "Testudines is synonymous with Turtle" is impossible to answer, because there's no option for "sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't". And then it turns out they nicked the whole thing from wikipedia: quote:Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines characterized by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield.[3] "Turtle" may refer to the order as a whole (American English) or to fresh-water and sea-dwelling testudines (British English).[4] The order Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species. The earliest known members of this group date from the Middle Jurassic,[1] making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more ancient group than snakes or crocodilians. Of the 356 known species[2] alive today, some are highly endangered.[2] Oh except they removed the bit that made the ambiguity explicit. Cunts.

"the only snake left in Ireland" sounds like it should be a children's book that tries to teach kids to be understanding and not judge people for being different, but accidentally has a messed up race-existentialist message because animals are poo poo metaphors for people.

Luxury Tent Carpet posted:I really have grown to despise the bbc, it’s news and editorial in particular They had an article a few days ago, about how a quarter of tweets about climate change come from bots. Buried in the middle, they said that only 5% of tweets advocating action on CC come from bots. But they don't say how many CC-denier tweets come from bots. Seems to me like that might be the important number. They do say:"Tweets about "fake science" were found to have been written by bots 38% of the time and 28% of tweets about oil company Exxon were posted by bots." Which doesn't actually say if either "fake science" or "exxon" tweets are CC-deniers or not. It's just two random numbers that don't mean very much. And I've tried to dig out the proper numbers, but I can't, because the paper they're quoting from hasn't been published yet, and every single loving paper has that exact same weird sentence word for word that they clearly copied off some press-release (except for the Daily Mail, which naturally, didn't report it at all afaict). It's like how they had a big dramatic headline about "Fake News Election! All parties are engaged in blatantly making poo poo up, it's an absolute mess, god they're all awful" and then halfway down the article it turns out that the Tories lied on 80% of their online ads, and Labour didn't lie on any.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Fundamentally the rope wear problem is a factor of a non-straight 3.5 mile run - there's always going to be friction because there's no way of keeping the rope taut without fouling the clamping mechanism, so the rope wears out scraping along the bottom and sides of the channel. Steel ropes and grease are your actual solution to both the rope wear in the run and the slipping problem for smooth acceleration - ironically the first (wrought iron) cable works in the UK opened - at Fore Street, almost directly under their Limehouse station - a year after the L&BR switched to locomotive haulage. I love a good double-entendre, but when you make it this easy it just takes some of the fun out of it.
