I wondered why some people had been letting off fireworks at 11pm rather than waiting til midnight, until one of my friends on our Google Meet call suggested it was probably people celebrating Brexit since that officially happened at midnight CET. Fucks sake.

None of them from either party gives a gently caress about kids getting their education, they just want the schools open as a crèche so that everyone can keep going to work

It’s astounding how bad he is at politics. Great idea putting someone less than five years an MP in charge of the party, though I’m sure there are some with less experience who nonetheless have more political nous than him

Hasn’t solar come on leaps and bounds recently, to the point where it’s actually cheaper than fossil fuels? Not that it’s a great option in this country though.

Stand ups can be useful but the whole point is that they’re supposed to be brief - you stand up so that everyone is uncomfortable and people don’t drag stuff out, if there’s anything you need to talk out with a team member you do it afterwards so everyone else can get back to work It isn’t necessarily something suitable for every business and every project but I’m not surprised at management consultants selling it as such

Aphex- posted:I got a v60 for pour over at the start of the first lockdown and subscribed to a local roaster who sends out fresh beans every week or so, and it's muuuch cheaper than when I was at the office buying it. And it's also lightyears more tasty than instant. If you're someone who drinks coffee every morning I can't recommend it enough. Just get a v60, some filters, a cheap burr hand grinder, a £10 scale on amazon that goes to .1 grams and you can make insanely tasty coffee every day for very little effort. Yeah this is what I do, it was like £40 for all the equipment and £7.50 a week for coffee and it’s so much better than buying it from almost anywhere. I’m fully convinced that most people who hate coffee hate it because they’ve only ever had bad coffee. My fiancée couldn’t understand how I could drink it black but now she does too, so long as I’m making it.

From what I gather, transmission rate outside is very low unless you’re in close proximity to someone else for an extended period, even if parks are crowded you can probably still keep your distance enough to feel ok about it.

Bloodly posted:Which then leads to the question: "What is the end goal?" What do they see happening when they've drained everything? What do they hope the country to be after all this, presuming they do get everything they want? I can't understand. Capitalism is inherently short-sighted, having stuff in the here-and-now trumps any kind of long-term thinking. It’s why shareholders always oust CEOs who will forgo short-term profits in lieu of future stability and why conservative parties around the world are going all-in on ‘reopen the economy’ when these policies actually cause more damage that short lockdowns.

WhatEvil posted:Second or third time I've seen recommendations for double-masking now that the new, more contagious variants of covid are about : Yeah I’ve seen this increasingly recently, and it’s at least driven me to get a better mask that the one I had which was just a single cotton layer, the ones at Vistaprint are two cotton layers with a filter between them and if I ever need to go into a small enclosed building I will definitely be wearing a disposable medical-style one underneath too.
