We need memorable starts for the seasons for when they stop working properly. But I do see DesperateDan's point that there's an advantage to being able to tell by celestial means for when the calendars stop working too.

If they do it to anyone less involved it's not interesting, if they do it to anyone more important then two police officers taking part in a non-disclosable training exercise led by retired SAS Captain Cecil Murderer find them having died of autoerotic asphyxiation in their own home.

It crops up again with a whole bunch of dickheads from Wagner to Mussolini going 'victim culture bad, hero culture good' though, so we can probably hazard a guess that moaning about 'victim culture' has been around for as long as appeals for someone to not be a fash oval office have.

I still think that the best way to provide information would be by comparison to other diseases where the majority have a slight fever, a small minority have serious disease, and a significant chunk of those with severe disease have long term health problems or die. So many people were going around saying "only 0.4% mortality rate" when I really doubt they'd be saying "chill out, it's only somewhere between untreated polio and yellow fever".

The one good thing I can think of to say about Jenkins was that he did say that he didn't care how much Ronnie Biggs stole compared to the costs of extraditing him, bringing him back in front of a court was more important, which makes him look almost principled compared to "we will break international law to make sure that we never have to see Shamima Begum again because the Mail said she isn't really british and we're more scared of them" from more recent home secretaries. That's a very small one good thing. Jaeluni Asjil posted:Didn't they betray the South Wales miners back in the 1920s or did I imagine that?

I'm 99% sure that Barry in Four Lions is supposed to be a parody of David Wulstan Myatt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XT8Re4r_ig Which goes a way to explaining why he's so ready to bomb a mosque to 'radicalize the moderates', being a neo-nazi conspiracy oval office wearing Muslim vibes more than a Muslim.

Looks like there have been a few, Stephen Jones is another who went fash->jihad and then got done for trying to radicalize other inmates in prison, and Muhammed Islam is one who appears to at least be somewhat sincere (but probably still fashy). Myatt is just the most infamous because he wrote so much poo poo and tried to position himself as some sort of public intellectual of regressive counterrevolution and antisemitism.

Getting even 12% of people to switch to cycling would do wonders for reducing road maintenance, whereas if you fix the potholes but do nothing about the over-dependence on individual car use then you just get more potholes again. At least until the biosphere collapse, I imagine you could use some of the larger ones for the bodies then.

Banning non-electric vehicles in 2030 probably means that the alternatives will suck for a bit, and then will get better. Like with RoHS, the lead-free replacement solders sucked rear end, and for a few years it may have caused more harm than good through increased e-waste. But once a critical mass of the market had moved to RoHS compliance lead free soldering techniques improved to the point where you didn't see much reliability difference. CFL lights suck too (in part due to RoHS concerns, but also in general), but it's one of the eternal liberal vs. planner debates as to whether the market would have spent anywhere near enough time developing LED lights as a CFL replacement if regulators hadn't phased out incandescents. LEDs are better than both CFLs and incandescents (for almost every purpose) but were not a mature product at the time incandescents were phased out. Presumably given enough time and research interest and funding LEDs would have become mature tech at some point, and there's always a danger to "we must do something and this is something" type approaches, but a well considered phased approach to scrapping incandescents spurred LED development. Of course some people aren't happy about that. They're the same people who enjoy hanging thieves and beating children apparently https://twitter.com/JoeTwyman/status/847017907800412160

A 'poo poo cow' scenario, if you will. With the 'smart cow' situation, only one cow needs to figure out how to open the gate for all the cows to leave, so with 'build a better lightbulb' multiple competing ideas are a good thing. With many cows figuring out how to poo poo in my yard without me noticing only one of them needs to succeed for me to have a big poo poo in my yard.
