It uses some weird protocol and is quite finicky as a modem as well apparently. There's a very specific router compatibility (which is the same reason it doesn't play well with a pi-hole). All the routers that are compatible last I checked are also not the cheap and cheerful ones hence  .

There are a number of people at our local co-op who are 'banned' after regularly bilking an entire basket, but most staff even if they see that person, they just go tell the manager and the manager calls the police who log it and then do gently caress all. Presumably it's for insurance reasons. Also I bet if the stock goes wildly out of what the head office is going to demand an explanation as to why you're losing whiskey by the gallon.

TACD posted:Quick question about the COVID booster thing, is there a distinction between “immuno-comprised” and “severely immuno-compromised” when I go to book it? There may be some guidance on the society page for your condition - British Association of Dermatology, ArthritisUK, British Thoracic Society etc. In general it's the GPs screening the records to see what you've been labelled with and sending you an invite if you tick the necessary boxes. It is quite binary since they won't necessarily distinguish disease severity, just condition and any relevant immunosuppressive medication. If you're under a hospital consultant it would be more helpful ask them directly. In my non-professional capacity if I were invited I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth and just get jabbed. The roll out has been a bit of a shitshow for the immunocompromised cohort since there are so many parameters (that keep changing!) that dont translate well to something a machine can do automatically and no one is paying staff to sit down and sift through these records. Everything that's being done is on top of existing work.

You get lung or oro/nasopharyngeal cancers from smoke. Oesophageal is usually uncontrolled reflux but iirc smoke wouldn't contribute mainly cos it doesn't get there.

oxford_town posted:Tobacco smoke is an established risk factor for oesophageal SCC (and, to a lesser extent, adenocarcinomas). I don't think as much research has been done on non-tobacco environmental smoke, e.g. from indoor fires, but there is some stuff our there. I'm not well read on oesophageal CA beyond the basics but if there was an association wouldn't we see population level changes as the world transitioned off cooking fires onto gas and electric. Conversely you would expect higher rates in communities that did still rely on woodburners. Rural third world and Scandinavia. Is it the case?

There's a large conservative club just around the corner from me, and I'm thinking about creating fake social media profiles pretending to be them, and loudly announcing the opening of a community warm bank in a couple of weeks, including free hot food and hot drinks. There would be something in there that it was the least that they could do, as they felt responsible for the state of things today etc. etc. I'd state that this would be in partnership with our local absentee-landlord MP, who has agreed to pay for the heating costs, with his picture and name plastered over everything.

fuctifino posted:If there's a political, environmental or social protest group in the UK, you can guarantee that the police and/or military intelligence will have infiltrated it. It's been like this for years. I've seen it happen during the Occupy protests, and even the anti Scientology protest groups back in the day. Never underestimate the levels that the government will go to snoop, control and set up. Going so far off the rails as to end up in jail is counterproductive to the job. Shouldn't they be inciting recidivists to commit crime so those people end up in jail instead?

Something something scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
