I have a package that got lost for three days in Europe, then turned up in Kent and has sat there for three days, so I'm getting an exciting look at how the queues are doing down there.

Shout-out to no-one in government or media doing anything to stop "children don't get covid symptoms" being interpreted as "children don't get covid" or even attempting to encourage children to wear masks. I have seen a couple of kids wearing masks around here, but otherwise not one child at the nearby school or around the neighborhood, even up to college/sixth form age has been wearing one, nor their parents, nor when they get on public transport. They seem to literally believe that they are completely exempt. I wonder if the dire news from the hospitals will spook people into doing what nobody in the public sphere has even attempted to encourage them to do.

The disease was always being transmitted by children, there was never an acceptable reason to allow them to spread it.

PS happy-within-realistic-parameters new year, thread, I hope you all at least found solace in something over the last few weeks. I found a banging chocolate orange trifle recipe for anyone that wants it.

God drat it, I thought I'd finally found a use for the five chocolate oranges my parents foisted on me, and it doesn't use actual orange chocolate. :gonk:

Also, what is the government's plan if overseas businesses don't bother collecting fees and just pocket the cash?

I liked Friday Night Dinner, except the final season where it had very clearly run its course, but I really recognised the kind of people it was caricaturing, especially the dad.

I like cringe comedy, but The Nightman Cometh tested me. It is toe-curlingly embarrassing, an absolute masterpiece of cringe.

Whether or not they're beautiful, wind turbines look better than traditional power stations by quite a margin, and unfortunately we've got to have something blotting the landscape.

I like coffee enough that I'll probably get a Nespresso machine or similar at some point, but not enough that I could even begin to be hosed with a proper machine or timings or whatever. I think that's down to laziness more than taste though.

Couldn't begin to differentiate different bean types or anything like that, but it's incredibly easy to tell if they're relatively fresh or stale as year old bread by smell, and that's as far as I care.

Parler is to Twitter what 8chan is to 4chan. It exists purely as a platform for people too grotesque and evil for the regular platform, and anyone who is willing to attach their personal details to it is a piece of poo poo who deserves to be hosed over pretty much by definition, and any exceptions would need an extraordinarily unlikely reason to be there.

I was saying to my parents that a proper lockdown should include food deliveries by the state, but after this I think I'd rather take my chances with covid in the supermarket.

Could we follow up the Keithbot from the podcast with a full deepfake op-ed writer? The goal is to get a regular column in the Guardian. I reckon you could do it within four months.

The medic's rapid fire needle gun would come in pretty handy right now, we'd have the covid vaccinations done in no time.

If you don't think that's prime "You broke it, you bought it" then IDK what to say.

Or he was really worried about the effects of a no deal Brexit on his business and thought things were going to be somewhat okay when a deal was signed at the last minute. It doesn't say how or why he voted.

It's fascinating, because it takes literal minutes to happen. You can sit down, eat dinner, then immediately take a whizz and make the bathroom stink like vegetables that have been cooked for three hours. No idea how the human body works that fast.
