Recommending a copy of Collins Complete DIY manual, which has been useful for me when attempting the most basic of DIY, because I've no idea.  It's a pretty good step by step of most stuff, although I haven't touched any electrics or plumbing for risk of being zapped to death, or drowning in poo poo.  [e]: On the topic of DIY, has anyone got a link to either a good Groverhaus video, or podcast or whatever - I'm really in the mood for load bearing drywall.

Guavanaut posted:Probably my own biases here but electrics is fairly straightforward as long as you turn everything off at the breaker before starting and know what breaker controls what. Basic plugwiring and blown fuses yeah, though I'm still not confident enough to do anything further  Forgot gas, yeah, never play around with the gas. I recommend the book for other household stuff - tiling, wallpapering, laying floors/carpets, etc. It's pretty useful to have. Also, Guavanaut, updated the list of Previous threads.

justcola posted:That guardian article about the queen dying was good back a few years, but will I be in a 'state of national mourning' over the queen or thousands of others? Court rumour has it that the royal touch can cure coronavirus, aka "The Queen's Evil". Pretty sure there's enough of her to mail to everyone in the country. No reports say she has to be in one piece for it to work. Be good for the royal fartcatcher enthusiasts who congregate at every minor royal event, and clamour for every piece of royal tat. No greater piece of royal tat than a piece of royalty itself. Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Apr 3, 2020 |

The only thing I hope is that when Johnson's bloated rotting carcass finally croaks, his putrified remains don't infect any doctors or nurses or cleaners or any hospital staff or other patients i.e the people who actually matter. I do find it pathetic people pull the  card the second one of these evil fuckers either dies, or is close to death - being dead or dying doesn't make all the twisted poo poo they've done in life, and all the misery, deaths, and needless cruelty they've inflicted on others suddenly not matter.It'll be hilarious if after a lifetime of chasing his dream of being Prime Minister, he dies due to his complete lack of fucks given about a pandemic, because he thought it would only impact people he considered lesser.

https://twitter.com/phlespp/status/1247260125758468101  [e]: My grandfather sadly passed away on saturday. He did no-one any harm, and did his best to help everyone, even though he was not always in the best of health. Because of the hospital quarantines we were unable to spend his final hours with him, even though the nurses and doctors passed on our messages and did everything they absolutely could to make him comfortable. There can be no cosmic justice, if Johnson - a man who has never done a decent thing in his entire life, used and tossed people aside - doesn't choke on his own piss.

Failed Imagineer posted:I watched some of the dudes on Gogglebox almost in tears that brave Boris had turned the corner, and how he really appreciates the NHS now. I (a sophisticated politics understander) just ruefully chuckled. It would be wild to be able to live your life with the brain of a child in the body of an adult Ignorance, as they say, is loving bliss. I've said before I got into a heated row with a guy at work who thought Johnson and the government were doing a greeat job at handling the pandemic, even in the early weeks when it was clear to anyone with a functioning brain, or the remotest kind of awareness that they'd massively hosed up. And this is before the lock-down or Johnson catching it. And I'll bet, even after this pandemic, or at least, the first wave of lockdown (assuming we're going to have waves of this) when non-essential workers are back at work, he and others like him will still loving praise the government and their absolute piss poor handling of it, no matter how high the body count, and even if he loses members of his family to it.

justcola posted:My mum sent us this saying we're just a few weeks away from going back to normal. After pestering her for the source (The Sun) I was a bit more dubious. Even ignoring the fact it's from the Sun, lots of people acting like once the lockdown is slowly rescinded, that'll be the end of lockdowns, not having potential waves of COVID 19 resulting in periodic lockdowns and such. And yeah, that's without the fact that our government is trash and actively attempting to lift the lockdown in the next few weeks 100% will just add 1000s more to the alreasy obscene death count. Which isn't to say any of them won't try because they're all psychopaths and "Money Number Must Go Up" - hell, look at Gove wanting to "go in hot", and the government having to be forced to actually deal with this. I did hear a rumour that they really wanted VE Day (8th May) to "return to normal", but who the gently caress knows at this point.
