goddamnedtwisto posted:Peas and runner beans give you the best bang for your buck, in terms of just how much better they are fresh from the garden compared to shop-bought, IMO. They're like a completely different food. When I was a kid we used to grow peas in the back garden and I don't think any of them ever made it onto a plate, we'd just eat them straight off the plant. Cucumbers are good because you can grow proper pickling cucumbers like what the Americans have instead of being restricted to 'English' ones which are all we get here but are slightly luxury there. Also I got like half a dozen growing them last year while one of my tomato plants gave me precisely nothing.

Darth Walrus posted:The thing about this, though, is that most of the worst aspects of the UK's COVID-19 response are yet to really hit home. We have a healthcare system with high efficiency but low capacity, and a badly shredded social safety net. As soon as the rent freeze ends Unless I've missed something, we don't have one of those. You still gotta pay your rent, it'll just take your landlord 3, not 2, months to evict you if you don't. And then you will still have a CCJ judgement against you and be unable to find anywhere else.

Apraxin posted:this 'scandal' that the telegraph dude is tweeting about is that in 1998 Dodds sent out an email asking people to work on her student politics campaign, the uni said that was against the rules but an understandable mistake and fined her a token 25 quid, which the student paper wrote up as 'sleaze and scandal as dirty dodds is punished for corruption'. when asked about it 20 years later, Dodds was like 'oh that, yeah, the editor didn't like Labour much' and Freeman had a loving meltdown quote:And of course, national political climate being what it was back in the autumn of 1998, there was no more obviously reader-pleasing pose for a student paper to adopt than an anti-Labour one." One of the two student papers actually, the other being the Oxford Student, and having been there myself, at that time (huh wonder if I ever bumped into Hadley at a party or something), I can attest the Cherwell was 'the right wing one' and this being Oxford was not some monolith of socialism.

On top of all the NHS posting - even if he were the virus doesnt give a poo poo about that. A ventilator is a ventilator. Antibiotics won't help you. More nurses wont help you. You can be Jeff Bezos, your money won't keep you from the same fate as your minimum wage window cleaner. If it wants you, you're dead. This is one thing where capitalism can't save you.

ronya posted:Labour did in fact go to the election with the very tensely-negotiated commitment in 2017 that freedom of movement will end, something Ed "Controls on Immigration mugs" Miliband didn't countenance in the slightest. I thought this was simply a statement of fact. The 2017 position was that we will Brexit. Brexit means the end of EU freedom of movement, by definition. What was left fuzzy was what would replace that.

ronya posted:No - there was always the possibility of the common market, or a common market, and a corresponding embrace of four freedoms including freedom of movement. I don't remember Labour ruling this out? EU Freedom Of Movement all caps was always going to go, unless we cancelled Brexit altogether. Labour stated this as a matter of fact, not something to be revelling in the streets about. 'A Common Market' New Immigration Agreement wasn't, as far as I'm aware, off the table. Of course, it's all a bit academic now.

pumpinglemma posted:Other universities do have more engaging teaching methods, I think. I did maths at Cambridge, and most of the lectures were just copying things down, but that was OK because most of the actual learning happened via grappling with the exercises and then talking them over in one-on-two supervisions. I did History at Oxford and in my time at least, lectures were strictly optional. I think I went to, like, two, both in my first year. You get your essay topic and reading list, you go to the library and get your books, you read them and write your essay, you go to the tutorial and read it out to your tutor, and then he eviscerates you for an hour or so. Lather, rinse and repeat for three years.

ronya posted:The NEC can hire and dismiss the GS or any directorial staff at will - albeit the use of this power is contentious. If the report maintains: the GS was the obstruction, then the obvious rejoinder is: then why didn't the NEC move against the GS. If the argument is that the NEC was before then too finely balanced (even with clean slate wins in 2016 and 2017) Clean slate wins of what? You are aware most of the NEC isn't elected by the membership right?

namesake posted:And this is still 'why do I need to put a roof on my house? The sun is shining brightly.' level of thinking. By definition working remotely allows for recruitment across a wider geography, perhaps even globally. Are the labour shortages a global problem? No people in the USA, China or India willing to take on a role for a foreign company? It's not like a physical interview would be possible during a lock down anyway so what's the harm in trialling people from across the planet after a remote interview? Oh and now that your project lead and many coworkers are 8 hours behind you you're going to have to do lots of evening working so you can all call in together, sorry that's just how it is now. I mean it's not like this wasn't a thing before the 'rona yet programmers remain well paid. There are fewer people worldwide that can do this well than there are open roles. Language barriers and timezones remain a thing. If the bosses could screw us down to minimum wage they would have done long since, theyve certainly tried, but they can't.
