It’s just dawned on me this morning that Johnson has probably gotten away with all the party stuff now. No one is talking about anything but Ukraine.

In an attempt to make it all a bit less creepy. My favourite PiP moment is watching Hitman 2/3 videos on youtube and thinking "That voice sounds super familiar" and asking Pilchenstein in the Hitman thread if he was on PiP. He is!

And really, it’s not about making the care homes nicer, it’s about making the prisons more poo poo. They don’t care about care homes, except as a means to bash prisons. It’s like the men who bang on about domestic abuse of males and male suicide, both of which are clearly awful, during women’s day, week etc, and then completely ignore it the other 51 weeks of the year.

For beer from a cask the magic words you want to google are “beer engine”. http://www.shakespearebrasserie.com/engine.html The link above has a great diagram. For kegged beer you use co2 to force the beer out https://content.kegworks.com/blog/parts-of-a-draft-system You can identify the two at a bar by either having handle which is “pumped” - that’s the cask version, or a switch that is just flicked down - that’s the kegged version.

Josef bugman posted:It's one tweet. I don't think that we are going to see anything larger than a few cross words over the next few weeks. I'd love to be wrong ofc, but I think the best we can hope for is that some of the more Liberal areas become a bit more lefty in general. We'll have to see - it might get picked in the mainstream press as an excuse to publish glossy photos of riot police (which they love) and that could feed the narrative of "why are there fifty loving police around a single squat, and I can't get anyone to investigate my actual burglary" which would be a good thing.

A bad case outcome would be they get a failed payment without having processed your cancellation and it gets reported to the credit agencies. You then file a “notice of correction” against the missed payment mark, but the mark never goes away. So your score is lower, and you are relying on any future lender clicking into the missed payment and reading the notice of correction, rather than just seeing the missed payment and assuming you didn’t pay your bills. It’s not a very fair system - I still have “missed payment” from 2018 or so when amex didn’t transfer my debit details over properly which I can’t get removed.

Payndz posted:There was a short-lived US cop show (Stalker? Something like that) that my wife was hooked on where every episode had one of those breathy, slow-paced acoustic covers. I swear one of them was Blue Monday, which was just an affront to all that is right and good in the world. It was Stalker - only one season - and I thought it was quite clever to be honest to take all of the songs that are actually about stalker behaviour and make them creepy again. Every Breath You Take is an obvious one but there were quite a few others.

OwlFancier posted:Or at least that is the case given that I think a lot of people would rather die than not have amazon prime, given how the pandemic has demonstrated that people would also die for haircuts and gawping at things in supermarkets, or the right to eat horse paste. Strictly speaking I think lots of people were comfortable for other people to die so they could get their haircuts and Amazon. You know, service workers.

goddamnedtwisto posted:This is a really weird demonstration of a generational/cultural divide because "Porridge" is extremely well-known slang for prison among Gen X and boomers because of the wildly-successful and perma-repeated sitcom of that name. I guess the posters confused about the term just don't watch much broadcast telly. I wonder if this was the idea behind A Quiet Night In, the Inside No. 9 episode. 2 criminals breaking into a house at night, but rather than only talking they're not talking at all.

TACD posted:We ordered a printer off Amazon and they emailed us a “password” to give the delivery person when they arrive 😂. Like we’ve got to engage in some embarrassing spy noir cosplay because our home address (where we’ve had more expensive stuff than a fairly cheap printer sent) isn’t a solid enough verification that it’s really us buying it?? It's a two-way thing - they don't have the password until you give it to them either. Stops the delivery person claiming they delivered it and keeping it. Deliveroo do the same.

kecske posted:I'm sure this comes up every time a polling station opens, but what's the deal with the clipboard rosette brigade who accost you and ask who you voted for when you try to go in? Is it exit polls or turnout metrics or something? Exit polls. They get the metrics formally later but the polls can be useful in the short term. I don’t think they’re allowed to ask outright now, but they can give you a piece of paper and ask you if you would tick how you voted.
