Bobby Deluxe posted:"We only have 'til 10, better get munted quickly" is an entirely british outlook, in line with the previous "Better meet in a large group now, before they ban it for being incredibly unsafe." Surprised Ireland hasn't introduced this actually, we switched to 10pm off licence hours years ago, no pandemic required (just the weirdly powerful lobbying of the Vintners Federation of Ireland)

Spangly A posted:western europe not UK, defined with a population of 480m, so 14m would be just under 3% population coverage. 14m is probably a pretty reasonable number for total UK infections, taking into account that at least 70k have died of COVID, and true IFR is probably max 0.5-1%.

IFR is a wide range really , CEBM had a paper recently showing IFR declining from .75% to .25% across the summer. I think 1% is probably a very conservative upper-bound (in a health system that hasn't just completely collapsed), and 70k is probably a very conservative lower-bound for COVID deaths, so total infections of 7m is a conservative minimum. But I think that range of uncertainty is easily broad enough for the real number to be 2x that.

big scary monsters posted:If you lived in catered halls you missed out on interesting people like my flatmate from Oman who at home had seven sisters who did all the housework and had never cooked so much as a cup of tea before in his life. His technique for cooking frozen meatballs was to heat up about an inch of oil in a pot, stand well back from the hob and toss them in, still frozen, resulting in huge explosions of oil all over the kitchen (that he never cleaned up). Other culinary innovations included his famous boiled whole chicken, eaten with no seasoning or sides, and boiled lettuce in milk. My PhD program had a few female Saudi students, the interesting bit was that the Saudi government would also subsidise a male relative to move over and chaperone their entire lives, paying them tens of thousands for the privilege. These dudes seemed invariably to be complete failsons who just wanted to get wasted and play videogames, while disapproving of anything the women wanted to do that wasn't cooking them dinner after a day in the lab.

Guavanaut posted:That at least sounds like it would either put an end to hyperpartisan politics or become hilarious in short order. This happened with Jefferson being VP to John Adams after narrowly losing in 1796. I'm sure it wasn't as wacky as implied in the hit musical Hamilton, but I'm pretty sure they hated each other as much as two aristocrats can. E: actually I just looked it up, apparently Adams shouting out Jefferson as his last words (they died on the same day) was because they became homies again, not lifetime enemies
