There was a campaign to put something (ideally a teddy bear) in a window so kids could go on a bear hunt, and then there was someone who started a campaign for kids to draw a rainbow and send it to their local hospital to 'lift spirits'. The NHS then released something along the lines of "

I went on one with my ex and it was loving awesome, we booked our next cruise while on it. I can totally understand why people do it, and the incentives to book while you’re on them are big.

I haven't seen it online, but I'm sure the BBC TV news has just announced that Calderwood has resigned. But now they're showing the Queen, so who knows. 99% sure I didn't just imagine that. Probably for the best, she's too easy a target for people to point to when they don't want to stay the gently caress indoors. Red Oktober fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Apr 5, 2020 |

Josef bugman posted:Isn't patent law all about ensuring that things people "create" become used by a few uber rich companies who buy out anything that might change things and build it into something they want to see? It's used to provide an incentive for people to create something - if it'll take me 2 years to design and create something, and then another company just copies it straight away and I lose a massive share of the market it becomes much harder for me to justify spending two years of lost wages etc designing it. Owning a patent on the product means that I can spend the time designing, knowing that if it's successful I will be given a limited period of exclusivity to sell the product.

Josef bugman posted:But I assume that the incentive will mainly have vanished because most "new" inventions aren't actually done by a single person, but by a larger organisation. The organisation still needs to pay those workers, and therefore have them developing something which can be monetised. Take pharmas, where development can take years and years, so they want a period of exclusivity to make sure they can get a return.

Their advertising will have dropped off a cliff too, which is where there revenue actually comes from. Sales are just a number to put in front of the advertisers.

I've had a cough since 22-Mar which has just now resolved, but like you no other symptoms except for maybe slight increase in my usual orthostatic hypotension. Could well be Covid, but don't really care until testing is available for asymptomatics. Same here, super persistent cough for a few weeks which has now mostly disappeared but no fever / temp etc., so.... who knows? Can't get tested so...

Roller Coast Guard posted:When people say "Don't bring politics into this crisis" on social media what they mean is "Don't interrupt the establishment spin until they've finished fully embedding it in the public consciousness". It's like you see with the mass shootings in the US. First it's "too early to bring politics in, we need to be tasteful and allow families to grieve". Then it's "too long ago, there's no use focusing on the past we need to look towards the future".

goddamnedtwisto posted:There's a rather more prosaic and practical reason for that - the man stands at the kerb side so if any passing traffic sprays up horse poo poo it hits him, not her. Now that's possibly/probably just as apocryphal as the sword thing, but I reckon horse poo poo was a lot more common than having a sword fight in most places in the world. That always felt much more likely to me - the right hand on the outside only works if you have the road on your right anyway - walking up with the road on your left puts your right hand in between.

If anyone wants a quick 'response to 5G claims' for someone posting trash on facebook or whatsapp I've pulled together a few sources from across the spectrum (BBC, guardian, tech press and FT) in the hopes that whomever is reading it will not discard at least one of them. Feel free to use it when you see people sparking off about it.quote:Just to put peoples' minds at ease, the idea of 5G being linked to _ANY_ health problems, including Covid, is absolutely 100% a hoax. 100% - not "well everything is possible", not "don't really know the facts" - 100% hoax.
