Jaeluni Asjil posted:Didn't Isaac Newton used to do that but using a thin glass rod and not a book to stop his 'precious essences' escaping in the night? I go through these glorious periods where I forget that sounding exists and eventually I get reminded and I just want to curl up and cry  I think it's because I can't forget the thing I read as a young teen where the Gestapo used to snap glass sounding rods in situ as a torture method and it's one of the few things I've read that genuinely scarred me

Guavanaut posted:https://twitter.com/Mr_Considerate/status/1317156327379116040 Meh. I'm with fuctifino. Getting all heart-eyes about anyone Moscow-backed in 2015 is pure shite. It's not like in 2015 we didn't know what 'Moscow-backed' meant. He might be good on TV and he might be a lefty but that doesn't make him a good human.

Guavanaut posted:Is anyone getting all heart eyes about him? I just see a bunch of people who thought Jews did 9/11 and a bunch of rags who've praised everyone from Mussolini to Pinochet in their time trying to use it as a reason that we shouldn't trust anything he says about Britain in 2022. You mean... apart from the whole 'Lynch and Dempsey should run the country' thing that happened after they were on the television when the first wave of strikes kicked off? Stopped clocks, and all that. He's not wrong that the working class is getting utterly hosed. But shilling for a Moscow-backed warlord in 2015 suggests an eye-watering lack of judgment or awareness that surely makes one wonder what other blind spots he has, and then it turns out that one of his other blind spots is people of colour, at which point I struggle to see him as anything other than—as fuctifino put it—a oval office. And call me old-fashioned, but I don't think cunts should be in positions of power.

josh04 posted:Actually I think we can say that the evils of the British Empire are directly connected to the British Monarchy? I think it's incredibly easy to say that and really very ridiculous to say otherwise? Agreed. British imperialism has always, or at least until very recently, been conducted either directly by the monarchy, or in their name.

BalloonFish posted:Corbs is still a Member of the Privy Council, since it's an appointment for life and he was made a member as LOTO. Same goes for Diane Abbott as (former) Shadow Home Secretary. As I understand it the accession council is meant to be a full meeting of the Privy Council plus the various religious, judicial and military representatives, so JC was probably entitled to be there. But there are over 700 members, a good chunk of whom are based in Commonwealth countries and in any case not all of them could fit into the state rooms at the palace. So it's probably a curated list of invites for 'senior' members (ministers, former PMs, current LOTO and DLOTO and so on). But then I spotted Peter Mandleson in the crowd, so who knows on what grounds he was chosen! No one has learned the secret signs and wards to keep Mandelson out.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:The justification is that it is apparently against protocol but apparently that's not true in the case of megary. It's Meghan being a control freak / attention seeker blah blah. Fact that others were holding hands doesn't count. Basically it's anti-Meghan hate. There is a whole subreddit that’s dedicated entirely (and it’s most Americans…) to ripping her apart in the vilest possible ways. Last I saw was that they were deciding that a crease in her dress was a colostomy bag. Genuinely unhinged shite.

Private Speech posted:But he said he was moving from England? Without getting into whether or not the SNP are basically Tories, the point I was making (having grown up there) is that one party states are bad, end of. A veneer of social liberalism doesn't make that palatable, and neither does a decade of decline in emergency services, education, health services, and parliamentary integrity, as well as infrastructure failures, social and student housing crises, and a general failure of innovation or imagination. If you want a radical labour tradition, move to Wales. Scotland is small-c conservative. It always has been. Jeherrin fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Sep 30, 2022 |

Sad Panda posted:Electric question. Got a Neff induction hob. Worked just fine for 7 years. Trying to make tea and when it gets switched on, that circuit trips. If it's in standby mode then it is fine but as soon as the hob is turned on the circuit trips. You are almost certainly tripping an RCD breaker, which protects against shorts. Stop using this appliance immediately.
