Absolutely this. Starmer may want to be Blair, but he is and always has been Kinnock.

Guavanaut posted:The modern ones are a lot more inherently stable, and I think VTOL tiltrotors have always been slightly worse, but the traditional autogyro does have an interesting failure mode where if you push on the stick to escape what you'd think might be a stall the rotor stops and you fall out of the air, whereas if you don't do that they almost never stall. Sir John Cosmos strikes again - I walked down Fenn Street (the one in Hackney, not whatever this not-on-the-tube silliness is) the other day.

Angrymog posted:I am kind of interested in some of the red and black ones - how big a jar do they need, and do you just give them bits of rotten wood or plant based kitchen waste to eat? My dad has a colony in a sweetie jar that’s probably about six inches tall - one of those plastic jobs modelled to look like an old glass one. I burned a few ventilation holes round the top, put in an inch of soil, a few bits of wood, moss on top and then some leaves. My dad adds a new leaf once every couple of weeks and bits of veg every couple of days, as needed. The colony does so well I have to keep taking them out to stop the jar getting overcrowded. The main danger in such a small enclosure is getting them too wet, or too dry. If you want to give it a go I’ll be happy to send you a dozen for a starter colony. suck my woke dick posted:Missing some Porcellio expansus I got some P. hoffmannseggi instead - I need to update my list!

The problem for the sensible people in Labour is that none of the cretins they're imagining will actually turn into Blair are remotely viable as General Election candidates. Say what you want about Blair (and I have and I will), but he actually had some policies and ideologies to go along with his leadership. The current senior leadership at the party can't have lunch without focus grouping it to death. Why didn't Keith make more of the petrol crisis in his speech? Because there wasn't time to run a loving focus group and report back about it.

But arabic for south is 'gnub' (Egyptian pronuncation) - towards Nubia, but for north is 'shmel' (left). Indicating an East/West world orientation rather than our North-centric culture. [/I digress]

Which is why I treated myself to a kid's globe earlier this year which isn't fixed along the rotational axis so I can put different bits of the earth at the centre in different orientations. Hours of fun and better than looking at those flat maps which try to do the same. (Bargain from amazon :spit: - 2 globes - one of the earth, one of the night sky - £8.99 the pair. You can twizzle them every which way.) Guavanaut posted:Given the orientation of North Street on that map I'm not so sure we have one of those either. Maybe it points at the geomagnetic north pole? And I was today years old when I found out there is a difference between the geomagnetic north pole and the magnetic north pole.

So how about those Brexit customs checks then? Do I remember correctly that currently the UK is not doing any customs checks at all for anything that is going from the UK to the EU... but that these checks will begin soon? Was it 1st of October by any chance that the UK-to-EU customs checks were going to begin? Or did they delay... or what was the date again? How's it gonna go, do you think (my guess is: lol, lmao)

Basically, the situation is like this, and will stay that way: * The EU has implemented full checks for anything going in. UK, being primarily focused on services for export, is facing barriers and a volatile situation. As soon as the UK starts diverging on, say, data protection, the entire industry goes up in flames when EU stops recognising equivalence, which is done unilaterally * In exchange, the UK is not thoroughly checking imports and does not have the capabilities to do so, so EU based companies can export to the UK fairly easily. Raising barriers now, with shortages already widespread, would blow up spectacularly You may recognise that this is hilariously one-sided, but it suits the EU just fine. In fact, I don't think they would really object much, but other UK trading partners may find the current situation less than funny. I think we are currently still at the stage of

I do not think they will have a choice but to kick the can down the road indefinitely. Certainly as long as crises keep happening whenever another implementation date comes up.
