I just had a bout of short but nasty virus-something (30 hours of ~39° fever, then mostly cold symptoms) and afterwards I've completely lost my sense of smell. Google tells me it might last for weeks, months or possibly forever

Like I tried dipping my nose in a bottle of whiskey and it smelt nothing. I don't like it

the mechanism is human brains op

the way they work, they make humans imagine ghosts

Machinery running at low frequency in the sub 20Hz range (infrasound - you feel it more than you hear anything) is known to cause feelings of unease and fear in humans. There's been plenty of debunked ghost stories which cropped up because people got spooked due to low frequency nearby equipment.

basically you can spend every night for the rest of forever faffing about with peanut butter and live-catch boxes, attempt poison and wonder if that smell is a decaying corpse under the floor, or you can dehumanise yourself and face to sticky boards. until mice enlighten themselves to the truths of buddhism and overcome desire they are doomed to suffer.

also, there is never just one mouse. Buy a bunch of wire wool and get to plugging holes

There will be a nationwide test of the alarm messaging system on Sunday 23rd April.

For some people a secret phone is a lifeline from situations of domestic abuse and the alert going off would give the phone away. Refuge have made a video on disabling them for Android and iOS here.

Failed Imagineer posted:

People who litter fag butts are scum who should be brutalised

The ~~shopping cart~~ fag end is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.

To bin the fag end is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To bin the fag end is objectively right.

There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to bin their fag end. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to not bin your fag end. Therefore the fag end presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.

No one will punish you for not binning the fag end, no one will find you or kill you for not binning the fag end. You must bin the fag end out of the goodness of your own heart. You must bin the fag end because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it. The fag end determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.

most basic possible housing implies a level of regulation, which would be a step up from the current stock of new builds

I'm assuming any extra overpayment I should sink into my mortgage as much as possible and ignore the student loan since its pre-tax. Whereas other debts are after tax.

fixed rate mortgage overpayments are capped at 10% of the balance per year. With a variable you can pay off more, if you're in a position where you're likely to have lump sums available on a regular basis

I was actually in London this weekend and used the underground for the first time. I was a bit shocked that there didn't seem to be any wifi outside of whatever Pret was closer.

Theres something like 95%+ wifi coverage on the underground but its operated by Virgin media, so access to it is limited to their customers and whatever other network providers pay the blood tithes to let their users also access it.

I'm with Prospect - the government came back with this years pay offer - 4.5% and no bonus (Because gently caress anyone not in the NHS) - The same email announcing this also announced two new strike dates.
It also said this is the biggest pay rise the government has offered since they got in, but it only looks good compared to that!

My work is refusing to go above 3% for its unionised staff, but then made a big song and dance about giving the subcontract staff & casuals 5.5% lol

someone explained it to me with the following analogy (presumably because I am an idiot) - horse legs are like christmas tree lights, as soon as one goes the increased burden on the remaining ones causes more knock-on problems

Bobby Deluxe posted:

I guess I'm just looking at it from the capitalism perspective - I suspect there are probably a lot of horses that could be nursed back to being able to do normal horse stuff if the owners put in a tenth of the money the horse made for them, but the owners don't want to spend that when they can just collect the insurance and get a new, uninjured one. How this is relevant in a thread about Marxism, I can't really say.

the famous case is Barbaro. Won the kentucky derby, had an insanely valuable pedigree, the owners poured an incredible pile of money in for the kinds of surgeries and treatments that most people could only dream of, and he up and died anyway because of the multitude of complications brought on from the broken leg. Its effectively a death sentence for a horse
