I guess you're correct, the flights were only gifted by BA as a marketing stunt, the hotel was paid for by someone currently unknown, and at the time Bradford was only tier 3 and hence wasn't in lockdown, and of course it's impossible to prove where someone actually got COVID, so really the entire thing is conjecture that he caught it there anyway.

He could charitably have decided to #YOLO it anyway even knowing the risks.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see your face plastered on the most tacky merch ever by your grifter offspring.

Anyone who is deluded enough to believe in scarcity of digital goods needs to play on a private MMO server and watch as an admin covers the ground in the rarest purps ever to exist in the game like so much trash.

Someone posted in the bitcoin thread about how each $1 of Bitcoin is only backed by 0.03 cents of actual currency due to shady market shenanigans. It makes your prospects of cashing out in any reasonable manner dicey at best.

Smokers are well known as the only patients who never need help or encouragement to mobilise. As soon as they're able they will drag themselves out of the nearest door to have a smoke.

They might have just lost a foot because of smoke related complications or be lugging a tank of oxygen by by God they will figure out how to take that smoke break.

I shop in Sainsbury's or Tesco because they're the only places that let you scan your shopping and bag it up as you go round

Waitrose as well.

Also Waitrose self-checkouts don't weigh what you've scanned for some bizarre reason.

My family's cleaner's as I grew up had a robin reliant, lovely old gal. Not bad car either.

Never really fancied a hilux, from my time living in the states I didnt understand why our pickups were so puny by comparison. But yeah now our pickups are a bit bigger it doesnt really suit.

Still got my cyber truck deposit down

Have you considered that hilux will beat any other vehicle on the road since it can mount a .50 around the back.

A big problem GP has is poor ratios of doctor to general public. Compared to other European countries we lag massively.

The other huge problem is the British public. Constant appointments for loving nothing coupled with a legal system that encourages defensive practice leads to a lot of bad medicine.

It's not helped by GPs being drained away to supervise vaccinations or simply quitting after a year of COVID burnout. In spite of everything, doctors (especially older ones from the bad old days) are well paid and many keep slaving away into their 60s and 70s out of dedication rather than any need for money.

So some of these smaller GPs end up with one green GP flailing around out of their depth husbanding a flock of nurses and paramedics conscripted into playing doctor. This leaves you with half-baked medical opinions and no one to do the equally important nursing or paramedic-ing.

I mean, not at all? They're not psychotic, they're just emotionally driven to believe stupid things (just like everyone else)

The evidenced medical treatment for Morgellons (delusional parasitosis) are antipsychotics. Some of these conspiracists almost certainly have the same pathology.

Isn't the Davy Crocket the one where if fired, the chances of the operator surviving were not particularly great? Trying to work out whether to imagine they meant ordering others to use them, or a Strangelove thing.

I did some reading about these once. The blast radius is about a mile?

That also happens to be the range so you're firing it and running the gently caress away and hoping for only second degree burns and a light bath of ionising radiation.

Curious that the whips keep blackmail material on themselves. Surely the first thing you would do when appointed one would be to delete it/change it to something innocent like "nonces occasionally".

No that's not how it works. This isn't addressed to op so it doesn't fall under the rules about keeping things you didn't order. This in an error and I would open the package and contact the sending company.

While true that most companies would simply write it off, if it was a high value item they would try and recover it.

Waiting for the trip report when op finds it's full of sex toys.

Passport chat - I'm curious as to why doctors aren't allowed to sign unless they "know you personally" and they then exclude GPs from the list.

Do any work-from-home goons have good chair recommendations? Been meaning to get a new chair for ages since WfH has become permanent and since trialing a desk yesterday my neck is hurting from craning up to look at the screen whenever I’m in seated mode, so it’s suddenly annoyingly urgent ☹️

If your company won't supply you one then I can recommend finding the local 2nd hand office supplier and getting a chair from them. The companies with VC money will throw out their barely used Herman Miller equivalents and these ccan be had for very little.

I love battletech and desperately want to play another stompy flight sim game, but then I saw something the other day about a bunch of chuds praising the new mechwarrior for 'not giving into woke sjw pressure' which I can only assume means it's a dickhead game for dickheads now.

I just want to customise a giant robit. :smith:

A bit late to the party but the main novellist for Battletech is a capital-C Confederate.
