Once we get brexit done we can return to buying artisanal goods in guineas and paying the underlings the spare shilling on the company pound.

I don't mind Imperial units. They seem complicated at first but the idea seems to be that they base their system on numbers that are divisible by many smaller numbers. You divide by 3 or 6 in decimal and you're going to end up with an infinite decimal point. Do it in Imperial and the number has an end. Seeing as we're not going to change our road signage ever I wouldn't mind if we sold fuel in gallons.

Mate of mine installed a power shower on their lighting loop but got tired of it blowing the fuse so he soldered a spoon between the fuse contacts. He wouldn't hear a word of it. And this guy does the maintenance on his own motorcycle, too.

The point is people are using China's success as a criticism of western capitalism in the same thread that previously wanted to remind everyone that China runs state capitalism. It's not the utopian socialist pipe dream the people here hold dear. Coming at a certain angle it looks like people clutching at straws to criticise capitalism and happening to grab the straw labelled state capitalism. If we're having a discussion about whether state capitalism works, however, then that'd be dandy. Azza Bamboo fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Apr 2, 2020 |

It's so if there's any trouble as a result of implying a causal relationship they can say "we never did that". It's basic rear end covering. Can you imagine how much more sued they'd have gotten if they implied causality when they were broadcasting the raid on Cliff Richards' house?

They make the squaddies do dumb poo poo to weed out the ones who question authority or who want to make things easier for themselves. When poo poo hits the fan they want only people who will give 110% to completing their instructions, not people who will flinch or waste time philosophising. If you want to do that in the military you should join the navy.

Payndz posted:I've been doing a lot of reading about the occupation of France, and while the romantic image is that French citizens were all hard at work undermining or actively fighting the Nazis and their Vichy stooges, the reality was that a terrifying number immediately started grassing up their neighbours for anything they could think of. (And a fair few cheerfully joined organisations like the Milice to crack their fellow citizens' skulls on behalf of the fash.) People respond to power. It's why Labour sucks a lot right now. Moral high ground, but they keep holding on to modernism and postmodernism in a world where the might of nihilism keeps proving itself right over and over.

It means attempts to appropriate the concept of strength into anything but the traditional concept of strength (military and social coercion) have proven themselves weak in contemporary politics.

The government was holding debt against its own departments? Given that we put all of our tax income in a single big pot that gets divided up in the budget, this is loving lunacy.

Well it's easier than saying that we're in an interconnected globalised economy that'd rather effectively deny us access to imported food than admit that the pound is just a concept and that there's no problem with pulling some pounds out of thin air to give to solving the financial crisis from the ground up. We learn to consume before we learn to labour. We have a much more intuitive understanding of the value of money than we do labour.

Tarnop posted:What's the benefit of "easier" in this case? Either way the power isn't in the hands of the people being killed, and no guarantee that even if there was an understanding that they wouldn't accept it as the way things are any less. Particularly as consent would have to come from the rest of the globalised world as well as our part. There's no benefit to be had from the treasury if you're losing elections, not just here but everywhere we trade with. Or should I say benefits. The benefit is not encumbering people with knowledge that bears absolutely no use to them in their lives. Azza Bamboo fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Apr 3, 2020 |

So which debts have been written off? Debts to the treasury or debts owed to Trusts, CCGs and other businesses operating in the health economy? I want to know where this is coming from because I'm wondering if this writing off debt constitutes a U turn on tory policy or whether the decision is actually being driven by the market's uncertainty. In other words, something they'd only do if their business partners don't feel confident in the health market rather than something that could have just been done at any point without repercussions. If they're buying up and writing off private debt assets because the current health market stinks so bad that no one wants them, that's totally different to saying they could have just done this anytime.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:What do you mean by 'percentile based education system'? Not heard of that term before and google not helping! We don't use percentile based. The way we get graded is by assigning grades to a certain percentage of the total marks available in your assessments. So if you get, say 80% of all the available marks you get an A or however we've arbitrarily assigned it. In China, South Korea and some parts of Japan it doesn't work like that. The way it works is that all students in any given year are ranked in order according to how many marks they attained. The top 80% of students in that list get an A. It means the grades don't represent where your level of knowledge is, but what percentile of that particular year of students you're in. It means you're competing with your entire year, not your exam board, and getting high grades is all that much harder. Countries which use this system tend to perform better in STEM subjects and also tend to have higher suicide rates among youth. E: to clarify, I don't mean your year as in your year within your school. I mean your year as in everybody who took that particular course with that particular examination board in that year.
