This is just that classic thing of right wingers being so self obsessed that they can't comprehend that people might be taking vaccines, wearing masks, etc to protect others and not just themselves. Also on the alpaca front: when I was a kid there used to be adorable wild ponies in my village that would wander up to for scritches and try to beg bread of you if you were walking back from the bakers. When foot and mouth happened they rounded up all the cute ponies, shot them, and burned them on a big pyre. So gently caress anyone who tries to bypass quarantine and animal health regulations because it results in dead ponies and crushes my childhood innocence.

Moonwolf posted:They're hoverflies because bees don't nest in carcasses and hoverflies will lay eggs in them like crazy. But also yes, ancient reference guy didn't know his entomology. The whole point of the thing is that it was a miracle and only Samson could answer the riddle because he was the only one who has witnessed the miracle. Because of this I personally think the Philistines were justified in feeling that Samson had broken one of the major rules of riddles, though their response of threatening to murder his wife and family was probably a bit ott and things got a bit out of hand from there on. (For those who may not know their Bible this episode ends with Samson braining 1000 Philistines with a donkey's jaw, setting a model of conflict resolution which would dominate the middle east to the present day)

My Dad had a three wheeler in the early 70s because he already had a motobike licence and you didn't actually need to be licenced for a car to drive one. He then parlayed his motorbike licence into a full yemeni drivers license because he needed to drive trucks while he was working there, and then when he moved back to the UK he was able to use his yemeni licence to get a full british drivers licence without ever actually taking a driving test. It's an extremely boomer story. I think they changed the rules eventually and he did have to do a proper driving test, which he is still bitter about.

Yeah I mean the factional infighting was the anti-lockdown section of the party stealing some CCTV footage to force the pro lockdown Hancock out of office and then getting their crazy Ayn Rand quoting man into the job. From that point on its just been a steady march towards letting chaos reign.

Yeah this country is bad for rents but I have literally no idea how people can afford to live anywhere near Dublin. Also if you're looking to move to Manchester make sure you live somewhere in walking distance of a metrolink because the buses are loving useless.

stev posted:Numeracy is pretty terrible across the board in this country. A majority of voters don't understand the very basics of how marginal tax rates work, so it's not surprising that some people can't grasp negative numbers. I worked with a woman who was an accountant and had previously worked at HMRC who tried to turn down a payrise because it would move her into a higher tax band.

Remember when everyone was saying that Starmers strategy was "don't interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake"? His strategy now seems to be actively generate terrible headlines about your party to interrupt the government deliberately causing food and fuel shortages.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Anyone know anything about this? My dog has a tag on her harness and a tag on her collar. I don't clip the lead on to her collar but I keep the collar on in case she slips her harness (we used to have one of those Julius K9 ones and she managed to escape from it once). I don't have a collar on her round the house because we've got a very secure garden but I probably should do just in case. e: and the story is definitely more about people who don't bother putting a tag ont he harness.

I had a dream the last Saturday where a person bathed in golden light appeared and warned me my alarm was still on and would ruin my lie in. The dream was true so I woke up, turned my alarm off, and went back to sleep. What I am saying is that my dreams are blessed and so far the gift of foresight hasn't told me anything about royalty dying.

Ascension already has a bunch of stuff NASA abandoned there, including a crumbling model of a space shuttle from the 1970s. And according to some people there is still a prototype Moon rover in a shed somewhere on the island. I wonder if the ESA earth station is still there or if us leaving the EU has also hosed that up.

Bobby Deluxe posted:A spectre is haunting the Labour party, apparently. Yeah the overriding attitude is "we don't care because you don't have an alternative". Unfortunately for Kieth this is true for Tories but not for labour voters who will happily vote for greens/nats/lib dems depending on their location and level of meltiness.
