domhal posted:That makes more sense. In Scotland, if you don't do well enough at 16 to go into the next level of maths (used to be called Highers), you would instead take a sort of repeat of 15-16 year olds' maths (used to be called Intermediate 1 or 2). Dunno if England has something similar. If you fail your GCSE maths colleges will sometimes offer a remedial maths course, but I don't know how it works if you just leave school then.

Anyway, I tweeted it. But I mean, has twitter auto-mod ever read twitter? If I got a message saying "most people don't post like this" I would consider it a positive indicator of my brand identity.

I was more meaning that it really feels like you can clock a tory just by looking at their head shape, which worries me because I don't feel like that's true in any other instance but god drat do young tories have a really distinct look, and it feels like it runs deeper than just a bad haircut and a suit.

Jakabite posted:The lead officer on my case just got fired for extremely gross misconduct including lying, misogyny, racism, homophobia, joking about Sarah Everard, drinking on the job and a litany of things. He also sent my solicitor evidence from a whole other case which is a criminal offence. The prosecution have missed all their disclosure deadlines so I suspect this is why. Lol. Gonna get a big fat Chinese takeaway to celebrate. And it was my birthday yesterday, best present ever. Sorry I know this is just me blogging my life but thought some of you would want to know, and it’s nice to have some good news for once. Very pleased to hear it! Hopefully your case gets dismissed and happy birthday.

Darth Walrus posted:It's grimly fascinating to see whether and for how long Labour can keep their gaggle of corrupt, racist weirdos out of serious press scrutiny, because it's so obvious that once the Great Noticing starts, they'll disintegrate even faster than the Tories. Unfortunately, history may suggest this could be as late as "two years after the press studiously failed to notice and they subsequently got elected"

I still honestly don't understand any of the voting systems I've encountered other the FPTP so you might as well just replace the voting process with magic for all that I would understand the process involved in selecting the winner.

Down that path does lie the question of why MPs vote for anything though, as if people vote for parties then the largest party should simply rule by diktat. Would you have to enforce a minimum quota of how much MPs have to vote with their party or it triggers a byelection? Or give party leadership the ability to trigger them if an MP is suspended from the party? Absent a fundamental restructuring of how representative democracy works (such as getting rid of it) I can't honestly think of a system which would forbid MPs from telling their party to eat poo poo, without also basically handing massive amounts of power to the party leadership. MPs being able to tell their party to gently caress off is sort of the entire reason we have them, instead of just polling the entire country and giving total control to whichever cabinet gets the most votes. That parties are willing to accept MPs crossing the floor (and then install them as candidates in the next election regardless of what their members want) is more an indictment of the parties than how the system works. There's nothing that says labour have to accept tories, they do it because they want to. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 11:03 on Mar 3, 2023 |

Guavanaut posted:Private industry shouldn't be in the business of providing water and sanitation anyway. All the free market arguments about consumer choice and competition fall apart instantly because there isn't any, there's one single monopoly water and sewerage provider for any given geographical area, any 'free market' solution is stupid to the point of absurd, like there's a bunch of different competing pipes or the public utility runs the pipes but you choose your water provider, and if one of the half a dozen decides to poo poo in the river then you still have poo poo in your river. Snow Crash was indeed a documentary.

The Question IRL posted:One argument I could see is that they aren't as bright as LED bulbs, so they would produce (slightly) less light pollution which is a problem for stargazers. Wouldn't the ability to produce LEDs with quite narrow emission spectra make it more feasible to use filters to remove light pollution, assuming some level of government coordination?

Guavanaut posted:The only possible advantage of incandescents (other than tiny signal lights which still have niche uses) is when you need a lot of waste heat for any amount of light. So keeping your shed from freezing in winter, hatching eggs, growing sensitive plants outdoors when they're small, etc. Notably, oven bulbs are still incandescent.

Ideally of course you avoid tsunamis by being not near the coast or high up, but failing that if you do a frame perfect dodge cancel you can clip through the tsunami's damage field and then you just have to swim for a while. Reminds me of that time they did a "property hotspots for if nuclear war breaks out" and for some reason they suggested whitby, despite RAF fylingdales being like 10 miles down the road and being the first thing that gets turned into a glowing crater.

It's very annoying that any time someone predicts a problem, most people ignore it and by the time it happens there's an entire section of society who have built their personalities around refusing to believe it's real. Does give the impression that the best way to solve any problem you can predict in advance is to tell nobody about it.
