The Question IRL posted:It would be like if there was a man named Ceremy Jorbyn who threw wild minks and ferrets at people on the street, and it got pinned on someone else instead. The press quite happily published a line about "Corbyn fined £10000 for anti-mask protest". They declined to mention it was the crackpot brother Piers. Edit - 2 is the smallest prime number.

Guavanaut posted:I often wonder how an actual scientifically competent government would have handled Feb/Mar. Not even necessarily socialist, although a government that cared about people's health more than number up or space rocket would have to at least be someway towards technocratic socialism. Look at any number of Asian govts and how they handled it. Most are poorer and even more flagrantly corrupt than the UK. You also have the gamut from authoritarian to democratic states handling the pandemic relatively well compared to the "West".

It's something you inherently distrust because it is easy to fake so you want both the trappings of quality (which is why jewelry stores look the way they do and have people to assure you of the quality, and why they're expensive) and you want to be able to see it well enough that you can trick yourself into believing it's worth it. Let me tell you about mail order diamonds...

jabby posted:I mean I'm doing locum work right now, so I only get paid if I show up. I'm also likely to be low risk of catching covid having already had it. I also work with Covid positive patients, and spend a lot of time in or near hospitals. Well yeah in the context of the half-assed poo poo the govt is doing it's completely counter-productive. It doesn't help combat the virus, and will drive down uptake of the app for all the reasons you've already mentioned. For the record my dept concluded that it was pointless (since our only exposure would be at work and it would have to be paused) and so I don't think any of us have downloaded it. Hypothetically though being very heavy handed about it could work if your aim was to gain control of the virus, people's welfare be damned. Mandate that everyone has to have the app or you get fined, fine/arrest anyone who doesn't self-isolate or breaches quarantine orders, and enforce everything rigorously. Much of Asia is doing this to a greater or lesser degree.

Particularly in the UK most of the medical profession seems a bit lefty or at least centrist, but working with US docs and reading r/medicine there's a huge FYGM mindset.

If we were really serious about combating climate change, well there are about 10 gigatons-worth of decommissioned nuclear warheads sitting around the place with nothing to do, and nobody particularly likes the Alps do they? Nuclear winter also works pretty well to cool stuff down. Maybe 1Gt per year for the next 10 years?

Trickjaw posted:O great knowing thread, the usual broadband question, I'm afraid: Any good deals out there, with at least a semblance of reliability? I am on Post Office and its laughably crap. I hate to say it, but think BT might be best, and looking through Virgin reviews I think Myra Hindley had more fans. I've personally had good experiences with Hyperoptic and Vodafone. Currently on Sky which is acceptable but their router is very restrictive and it's not an easy task to change as they have some very specific configuration requirements. Unfortunately my choice was between Sky, BT and Virgin so it was the best of a bad lot.

I'm sorry for your loss, but I am curious how this jives with religious stipulations (Muslim ones specifically) that need the burial to be within 24 hours? I've had to do a death cert once coming off a night shift because the family needed the funeral ASAP for religious reasons.

Pub suppliers will charge a 6.35kg tank for about £15, £2.40/kg, and even the pro-tier option of a BOC small cylinder rental scheme works out about £5/kg. How about CO2 fire extinguishers? They're used for cheaply pumping CO2 into fishtanks. jabby posted:Death cert stuff. I am sure some gammon would blow a gasket if they realised how quickly a death could be certified for a Muslim compared to their Nan where the mortuary team take a week to track down the only responsible doctor they can contact because everyone is on-call, on-leave or never answers the bleep.

Nutapii posted:Is that because of historical kicking off, PALS challenges, or is it a voluntary adaption to the religion? How do the staff feel about it? No idea how it came about. From a staff point of view this usually means the night shift doctor get the dubious honour of staying behind to wait for the mortuary team to come in to sort out the paperwork. Depending on how efficient they are I imagine this can range from nbd to irritating if you've just had a rough night. Like jabby's case mine was semi-expected so things were already in place and it wasn't too bad. I can imagine it being a total shitshow as well though.
