Angepain posted:Can't we just call them freedom pastries and tell our children they were personally invented by st george, who was born in england You've reminded me of the 'freedom fries' debacle from 2003. When France refused to join the US (and UK) in bombing the crap out of millions of Iraqis for having the gall to have been born over oil fields, US renamed 'French fries' as 'Freedom fries'. quote:When reached for a statement by the Times, a French Embassy spokeswoman said, ''I wonder if it's worth a comment. Honestly. We are working these days on very, very serious issues of war and peace, life or death. We are not working on potatoes.'' She also noted that French fries are, in fact, Belgian. source: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/61086/did-americans-really-call-french-fries-freedom-fries

OwlFancier posted:Supposedly, statistics indicate that weather doesn't do much for turnout either way, though with counfounding factors in elections god knows how accurate that is. Our canvassing teams said it definitely dented their efforts - round here with it dark by 4pm (or earlier in the worst weather), noone opens their doors, and during the day time canvassing, working age people were out so it was mainly retired persons that they were speaking to and they (a) mostly vote tory, (b) do postal votes and get them in before the national tv etc campaigning gets started, (c) trust the BBC and tend to buy Daily Mail, Telegraph, and Sunday Times and were quoting tory talking points about Corbyn back at them. We did intend to start campaigning early but without a manifesto and the relatively short campaign, it wasn't really possible. And Welsh labour are useless and despite Wales being very heavily 'leave' got spooked by the MEP elections and went heavy remain.

Red Oktober posted:A lot of that is horrifyingly real for me during my second redundancy. The first one (2010 or so) was fine - helpful job centre advisor who got my experience (she had similar before joining the JC) and that they would have very little for me and helped me pass the hoops while I did my own search. I thought you got sanctioned for applying for jobs for which you were either over-qualified or under-qualified but still had to apply for a certain number per week?

Ms Adequate posted:Yeah, I guess I just don't get how that's such a widespread condition... I think a lot of it stems from fear. It serves the ruling elite to keep people worrying about homes, jobs, security, where the next meal is coming from and also 'thank god I'm alright'. It's about keeping people mired in the bottom 2 layers of the Maslow pyramid. Keep people unsettled down there and they won't have energy to look further up. This is also why the tories were so keen on offering multiple choices for people for schools, hospitals and so forth, instead of ensuring all schools provide a decent education for all kids. If you're spending all your time worrying about what choices to make for your kids' schools you won't have the energy to pay too much attention to the nefarious activities of the government.  Maslow might not be perfect, but I think it's a fairly simple and reasonable model.

Gort posted:Wait, when are the leadership elections? I haven't heard poo poo ed: ^^^^ Are you in the Labour Party? If so then your CLP might be having a nomination meeting as the candidates need nominations from a certain number of CLPs / Unions / Affiliates to get on the final ballot which will be announced next week at some point. Our CLP is having one this weekend for all members. I guess some CLPs aren't having one at all, and others might be doing the 'behind closed doors' thing. Our CLP sent out two emails informing about the meeting. Leadership / Deputy Leadership voting opens end of next week (not sure actual date and can't be assed to check) and you should get emails with voting information in as before. Also I think there is voting for some NEC reps at the same time.

thespaceinvader posted:If you own a house in which people can live, you own a home, and are a homeowner. It's impossible to be a landlord without owning a home, at least in part. You can illegally sub-let. You rent a flat with a double bedroom (so you are not a homeowner). You then sub-let the double bedroom to 4 Romanian girls while kipping round your girl/boyfriend's place thereby making twice as much rental income from the illegal sub-let as you are paying the landlord. I personally know this happens.

Kin posted:So, ISP chat again briefly (i hope). When I got mine there were 2 SIMs in the package. One was a freebie PAYG for any phone and the other one is the one to put in the router. Give them a call if you can't find the second one! Ed: is there a phone number printed on the Delivery Note? This should match the phone number of the SIM you put in the router. Ed2: Just found the packet the data SIM came in: it says Pay Monthly Mobile Broadband on it. That is the one that goes in the router. Ed3: just found the Free PAYG SIM. It says Free Pay as you Go SIM blah blah on the front. That is NOT the one for the router. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Feb 7, 2020 |

These are the two SIMS I got in my package: Use the one that says Pay Monthly Mobile Broadband on it in the router. The PAYG is just a freebie. If you didn't get a PMMB one, then they must have missed it out. The phone number of the SIM to use is the one printed on your delivery note.

How peculiar! It is the Homehub thing you've got isn't it not a mifi thingy? This is what I have (but took me a while to find it on their website!) http://www.three.co.uk/discover/devices/huawei/B535?memory=0&colour=White I just thought - maybe if you weren't already a 3 Customer they do some sort of credit checks before sending the unlimited SIM out. I've had a 3 mifi for over 6 years now on a pay monthly contract so I'm known to their systems. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Feb 7, 2020 |

(Well I DO have one of those mifis but I've had it years and it's great to take around when I'm visiting friends or stopping in travelodges etc - obviously needs a signal!) My homehub is £22pm for unlimited and gets up to 80mbps and typically around 60mbps most times during the day. Ooo err just noticed they've got a better deal on the mifi than I've got - can't remember when the contract ends though! I'm getting 40GB for £18.25 and they're showing £12 pm. Last time I asked my deal was the best one. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Feb 8, 2020 |

Renfield posted:I recently changed from Virgin fibre to 3, with this same router etc - although I went for the 12 month contract at £27 - £10 less than VirginMedia. Having had one of their mifis for so many years with the same kind of 'discounts' they've not screwed me yet! I took the 24 month version but yeah if they try to stitch me up, I'll change. I doubt they will though. I also get a decent signal too. Obviously useless if you live somewhere with lovely or no signal. I hadn't noticed the adult filter LOL I guess I don't watch stuff that it applies to.

Kin posted:Hmm, i feel like i've been a bit railroaded then. I was expecting the hub rather than the mifi thing though. I mentioned the 535 model i could see on the site, but he just kept going on about he's giving me a "better, newer version". I couldn't really check what it was though because i was gated from the rest of their site. To be honest, I'd get on to them again and say it's the home hub thing you want not the mifi thing and you think they've made a mistake. I've always found them reasonable to deal with. The homehub router is a 'normal' router size and quite light so you could consider it portable depending what you were doing. I take the mifi out in my handbag as I don't use mobile phone data. The huawei 535 model has 4 ethernet ports. There's another one they offer with built in Alexa but it only has one Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Feb 8, 2020 |

(1) As expected, my CLP have anointed Starmer (glad I didn't waste my energy going) and Rosena Allin Khan who I haven't seen mentioned at all on here and had completely forgotten about. (2) Big headline on top of one of the red tops (didn't notice which one - probably the Express) - British public urges Johnson to go big plans (or something like that). Funnily enough, when Labour put 'big plans' in their manifesto was it not considered unicorn, fairy tales, 'who's going to pay for it', ridiculous etc etc?

ThomasPaine posted:Quick question: applying for a new job in a long-term professional position, would you list temp bar/restaurant work in previous employment? I guess it depends. Is this a CV application or a form and if it's a form does it ask for a 'complete list' of previous employment? Lots of employers (or, rather, HR departments) like to see a chronological list of what you have been up to. How many years of work have you already? How long was the bar work your job? Was that your only temporary job ever? My last job application that asked for a 'complete list' (which with a work history covering 45 years if a truly complete list was provided is ridiculous) - I put the main 'career jobs' and a single line saying 'Various temporary positions in hospitality, retail and service sectors have been omitted - full list available upon request'. I didn't get the job for reasons best known only to the recruiter! Ed: Just saw your reply that it was during a masters degree. If so, I wouldn't bother to mention it unless you want to hide the masters and make the job the main thing. (Depending on your area, having higher degrees is not necessarily an advantage when applying for jobs! ) Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Feb 9, 2020 |
