Doctor_Fruitbat posted:That was me; I went with Omega with the EU goons. Finally made it to Heavensward, the fabled point where the game got gud (and it really did). I resubbed the other day on Omega too, but I'm at the end of ARR and I'm faced with 100 boring fetch quests before the first expansion and I just...can't. I'm considering paying for the skip - is Heavenward that much better that's it's worth it?

I'd legit go and pick some strawbs at the farm near my house (apparently 400 quid a week if you're decent at it) but my boss says we're not allowed under our furlough conditions.

OwlFancier posted:So some bosses want to make sure people are busy when working from home because they can't abide paying people not to work, but your boss apparently can't abide the idea that you might be working while they're paying you. It's stupid, because the fruit picking is piece work so if magically all the construction sites suddenly open and I can do my regular job again I can just stop the fruit picking and go back to work whenever. Yes he's a control freak so he's taking this entire situation extremely badly and I really feel sorry for his wife tbh E: ^^^^ why the HECK didn't you rub that tummy you monster

Coohoolin posted:i'm pretty sure being furloughed at one job is not impacted at all by you taking on another job if you wanted to. My boss specifically wrote in the letter informing me of my furlough that the conditions of the furlough meant I wasn't allowed to take on another job. I'll have to check my original contract, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't allow for other employment. I will have a chat to him anyway and see what he says.

It really boils my piss how everyone on the local FB group is so performative about clapping for the NHS, putting rainbows in the window for the NHS, berating people for complaining about the fireworks getting let off for the NHS, but they will vote Tory now and forever who have loving gutted the NHS.

Now of course mum feels dreadful and unsafe because of it. How the gently caress else is she meant to get food? Would granny prefer your mum went to the shops and potentially spread disease?

I mean, we know he's got the Roni, so the only routine test he could be given is for blood oxygenation, right? Assuming he's having breathing problems, it's either supplemental oxygen or full on intubation, can't be any other reason to admit him.

HopperUK posted:It's fun isn't it because anxiety makes your chest hurt lol It's poo poo. I keep thinking I have a tight chest, and a few days ago I had some weird little dizzy spells, and every time it's like 'oh gently caress here we go, it begins' but then I get some sleep, wake up feeling fine, and as the day wears on it happens again, over and over. But if I get really into a game or book or something, I don't feel the symptoms at all, so I know it has to be all in my mind, but once I get pulled away from the distractions by family or chores or whatever, there's the tight chested feeling again and arrrrgh

peanut- posted:Are people still getting post delivered generally? I've had nothing since Wednesday and am expecting things that I know have been sent. Haven't had anything for quite a few days now. I imagine it's a really lovely time to be a postman to be honest. It's hard to complete most rounds at the best of times, let alone when every fucker in the country is buying literally everything online and half the delivery office is off sick and/or self-isolating. That, plus the fact that they're not allowed to van-share at the moment means that I would imagine there is a quite frankly ridiculous backlog in every delivery office.

I don't even know how the delivery office I used to work in will even be functioning without van-sharing. 90% of all rounds there were two people sharing a van, and still on some days if there was a problem with your van it would be a struggle to find a replacement. If they need literally double the amount of vans....well, it just doesn't work. Thank gently caress I'm not a postman anymore.

If he needs tubing, don't the stats say he's more likely to die than not? e: apparently not intubated yet, but if he's rapidly worsening it would seem to be that it's near inevitable given what we know about how the disease progresses in these serious cases https://twitter.com/VinnyMcAv/status/1247241919056490499 Bardeh fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Apr 6, 2020 |

Jose posted:Just been told that as he's not on a ventilator he's probably going to survive He's going to be put on a ventilator almost guaranteed. The way this thing progresses if you get it bad is the symptoms don't subside, and then you very rapidly go downhill. Given that he's worsened over the afternoon and he's already had symptoms for 10 days, he's following that progression. Like 50/50 the PM is gonna die of this, holy poo poo

Prince John posted:Assuming this is true and not just some puff piece to create a hardworking martyr narrative, it's striking how much little he trusts his subordinates. I don't think anyone in the country would give a proverbial if he went on sick leave for a few days and handed over the reigns to his deputy - it's what the rest of us do. But he's terrified of leaving them in charge. these are Tory MPs we're talking about here, one of them probably wiped their covid snot on their hand before shaking hands with him. I guarantee that there are more than a few of them currently licking their lips about a potential cabinet reshuffle if he croaks it

As much as I'm not going to shed a tear if he does peg it, I also don't want Boris to die, the same as I don't want anyone to die of this thing. There's also the matter of the array of ghouls and freaks lined up behind him to take over.

Don't game much these days, when I do it's unlikely to be bleeding edge stuff anyway. Currently running a 7(?) year old Alienware M14 R2 so anything with better spec than that will blow my aged mind. For 300 quid you aren't going to get anything appreciably faster than your Alienware tbh.

sebzilla posted:I definitely don't need solidarity fund money to buy a new laptop, thanks though Ms A! Be aware that the pricing on that is quite deceptive, once you add the 512 SSD and the 16gb RAM it's actually £325, not the £199 it seemingly costs. Having said that, £325 seems pretty good for those specs. You won't be playing many games on it, but it's got a 1080p panel and will be nice and zippy with the SSD.

jabby posted:How do you get your pork belly so crispy, mine always either comes out burned or without delicious crackling? Slice it into 1 inch thick strips, boil it for ten minutes in water with a tablespoon each of white vinegar and salt, pat dry with some paper towel, deep fry for 5 mins on each side, take it out for a few minutes, fry again for 1.5 mins each side. Then let it cool before you eat it. Bit of a faff, but absolutely worth it.
