Bobstar posted:Know much about assisted suicide methods? I've only really read about one, which was drink an anti-emetic and then a poisonous something. Wondering if there are others. I'm skating very, very carefully around this because English law is extremely dodgy about providing info about suicide methods, so I'll just say yes, this is something that has been thought about and methods exist. Assisted suicide methods tend to be proper medical processes though. Partly because if you're getting an actual doctor to do it you might as well go all out, partly because someone with, say, advanced ALS will not have the dexterity to handle a DIY method - that's the whole point of the "assisted" bit.

 Specifically in reference to some earl in the english civil war who was apparently not popular with his wife. Sadly flown by another royalist. Pretty hardcore kinkshaming though.

"In the UK, Google says it is seeing a clear increase in activity despite the fact that the country's lockdown measures have not been relaxed. The latest Google mobility report - which refers to last weekend - shows a marked increase in activity across the country. It said visits to parks were only 10% below normal, while they were around 50% lower at the beginning of the lockdown."

Quite aside from the legal aspect of posting about this, I wouldn't post about this. Some of the methods are surprisingly easy and accessible, and once you know them you can't really un-learn them, which isn't great if you (or anyone else who saw the post) is a person who might at some point be at risk of attempting suicide.

It's like they heard about the idea of colonies from a friend of a friend going, "Oh yeah you can sell beads and poo poo to the natives and get gold for nothing, it's great," so everyone packed off with boats full of powdered wigs they were sure the natives would be falling over themselves to buy. Then they all died of malaria and poo poo and Scotland was so embarrassed it ceased to be a country. If more colonisers were like Scotland the world would be a better place!

So a care home in my area made the papers a few days ago because 17 of its residents have died, 2 confirmed of COVID-19 but the rest died before tests could be administered. Last night they decided to hold a party outside with a free ice cream van, supported by Middlesbrough Neighbourhood Police Team and not adhering to social distancing whatsoever. They then decided to share this video on Facebook, only taking it down and making their page private when loads of people left negative comments about what a stupid loving thing it was to do. This country. Oh and why yes, Middlesbrough *does* have one of, if not the highest infection rate in the country

I’ve been using this company for years and years, Chinese Amazon who don’t gently caress about if a product is marked as real and turns out to be fake and will refund you no questions asked if an item is broken or total shite. They have all the masks but most importantly, PPE for people who need a shield instead of a mask as in, the disabled. kiddies https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10068506/9724449-kids-detachable-transparent-anti-droplet-full adults https://www.fasttech.com/products/1964/10068153/9723424

The graphs on the actual report show no meaningful increase in footfall at retail, grocery & pharmacy, transit stations, or workplaces.

Opening up schools, in contrast, would spread the virus like mad.

yeah, you're right, my mind kind of glazed over the whole 'parks' thing, of course that's to be expected but the government are definitely still half-arsing this EDIT I really wasn't trying to actually argue for ending the lockdown - as my recent posts will attest - it was more of a rhetorical 'if this isn't working, what do?' question. But it seems it is working, or at least people are sticking to it Apologies all

DesperateDan posted:Doing your own fruit wines out of cheap fruit juice beats beer brewing on terms of cost and effort- literally throw all the ingredients in a suitable container, leave in a warm dark place till it stops bubbling, put in bottles and await liver disease. Orrr just make proper cider. Take apple juice without preservatives, add some kind of brewing yeast (I like champagne), wait. It's literally how you make even the non-prison kind of cider; no boiling or hops or w/e to worry about.

I'll give the virus one thing: I'm furloughed and my work has an online "hub" thing that was mainly used for people getting rotas/booking holiday and the like before this all kicked off. It also has a facebook-lite where we're being encouraged to "stay in touch!" and the "inspirational" memes and shite that people are posting is revealing utter bellends that I didn't even detect in real life. Very helpful.
