We've used a few MiFis back when 4G was a lot worse than it is. One was a Vodafone branded one, one was from EE and we got them from the high street carrier shops. Both came with their own sims but you could open them up and swap them out but this was a few years ago now, I dunno if the ones that they're selling now let you do that or if they're more locked down. Looks like they're about the same sort of price they were, less than £100 but it depends on your budget i guess.

big scary monsters posted:. Is 4G reasonably widespread and dependable in the UK now? When I last lived there it was often pretty spotty outside of cities (and sometimes even inside them). The carriers all have coverage checkers, this is O2's https://www.o2.co.uk/coveragechecker MUCH better than a few years ago, but obvs this is them checking their own homework so grain of salt and all that but anecdotally I can say most of the time I don't think about coverage much and I spend a lot of time being rural. In fact I find that 5G where it's available is nice and available but often pretty unusable, I force the thing back to 4G if I'm in a city and doing anything heavy

Reading has a Black Sheep Coffee which is irritating cos my partner works there but doesn't drink coffee. Although I do have a big bag of cardamoms now so I can make honey cardamom oat latte at home till they get round to opening one here.

All drugs should be freely available on an informed consent model to everyone but given that they're not, I hope the companies making them are making enough that there's no shortage for the people with diabetes once all the people taking them for weight loss have had theirs.

Mebh posted:Ozempic was the only drug that seriously helped my wife lower her insulin amounts, start to lose weight and help manage her extremely complex form of diabetes that combined insulin resistance and a hosed pancreas. This is what I was worried about. That really sucks, Mebh, I hope the situation turns around.

Proximity to suffering. If you're a comfortably middle class sheltered commentariat who does the political thing as a kind of abstract debate it's just an academic exercise you can pat yourself on the back and say "look, I'm hearing all views here, aren't we civilized". If you're at all in touch with marginalized communities, people under austerity, anybody at all at the sharp end of the policies that get enacted by these people or the stochastic effects that trickle down from them as society collapses, *that's* when it gets difficult

The bits of London that outsiders normally see are the bits that tend to get the money lavished on them though, even if its not to the benefit of people living there, if people even live in those bits at all. There's a LOT of London that's suffering too, just like everywhere else is and for the same reasons. But the other thing is how a lot of what's now London used to be seperate places and has become London by getting caught up in the sprawl. Places that used to have their own identity and amenities that got pulled out into service of this bigger thing which the area is now reliant on for its survival and you only see ghosts of behind the urban fabric that has built up on top of it. History and communities that waves of capitalism and fashions of urbanism good and bad have disrupted and displaced. It feels like both these things get lost in the pro London anti London argument sometimes. Like, I've only ever lived in cities that are well away from London and aren't getting anything like the attention from government that London does, which to be clear is a government problem not a London problem. But then at least for all their problems they still have a sense of place. And yeah the answer is vote in a government that makes reparations and stops doing this now if only that party was on the ballot...

There's a really good production of the play Accidental Death Of An Anarchist on at the moment, Im going to see it again before it closes. Written as a response to real events in I think the 50s but increasingly relevant in light of the Met's continued record. Highly recommend it if you have a chance to catch it, think it's on till September

I'll believe this kind of poo poo regressive policy is pointing to a karmic defeat when I see some kind of pushback from the "sensible centrists" that he's courting by painting targets on people like my back to triangulate his way into number 10. So far I'm not seeing it, and believe me I'm looking.

smellmycheese posted:90s election rememberers. Is it just nostalgia-posting to think that Blair could, at least, answer media questions in a coherent manner and defend his positions and ideology in a reasonable way? IIRC Blair tended to answer them in a kind of informal conversational style that people really hadn't seen someone in his position do on telly before and it seemed to wrongfoot them into accepting whatever position he was going for at the time. Like you could see people going "huh, he's really thinking this through and just talking like a human being" rather than seeing the sleight of hand that it was stage-management dressing up liberal both-sidesism as the reasonable voice in a media circus. Its grimly funny that the success of Farage and Boris were both put down to basically the same thing, I guess in Boris's case it was that effected incompetence thing, Farage it was just doing it in reverse by pumping boomers so full of fashy slogans there's an element of recognition there "oh he talks like us" and all that. A lot of people saw through Blair's shtik at the time (I didn't) and he only pulled it off in those early campaigns, once the Iraq war happened the Kayfabe dropped.

Maximum Pepsi posted:I know how I learn, I guess I can only speak from my own experience. but someone yelling/scolding me makes me want to do the opposite of whatever. No-one likes to be scolded but that is a very juvenile response, it's like a kid folding their arms and stamping their feet at being told to do something they don't want to do. And yeah maybe, in the abstract, people yelling at you aren't explaining things in the most helpful way for you personally to learn, but we're not living in that abstract world. We're living in a world where the people on here you're demanding patience of to explain things better are the people whose lives are being put in danger by the authoritarian machinery right wing governments like ours are just itching for an excuse to build. Sure it sucks your take on GRT people or whatever gets a plate of cold sick response but for a minute think about how much that actually matters when you put it up against they've done to immigrants, travellers, LGBT folk. You do you but if people seem angry at what you say and a "wait a minute, maybe I'm being a loving idiot here" response doesn't kick in somewhere then I don't know what to tell you

It never really went away but it does seem to be hitting people that I know recently. One very small silver lining to my whole "the immunosuppressants that have been successfully treating your condition for ten years have suddenly stopped working" thing that took me down last month mean I'm being switched onto a different set of them that apparently doesn't leave me quite as vulnerable to it so maybe I can get through this current wave of Covid without catching it again.

The best era of games magazines was when they came with a cover CD. Back when your home internet if you had it was terrible and they just went hog wild packing the thing full of every game demo and utility they could find, most of which were useless but by gosh it felt like CONTENT.
