HopperUK posted:Great now I'm thinking about the scale of the universe and I have to go to work in a minute When you shuffle a deck of cards you’ve created a pattern never created before. There are more options (8 followed by 67 zeros) than atoms on earth. Sleep well! Also, for Fairytale of New York, just sing “you scumbag you maggot, you’re cheap and you’re haggard”, as that’s what Kirsty herself sang live after being educated on how problematic the original lyrics were. 343 is far fewer than the number of different shuffles possible with a pack of 52 cards.

Gonzo McFee posted:RIP Darling, you tied the UK economy to the US Housing Market and when that collapsed you ushered in austerity that destroyed lives and left the country in the poo poo shape it's in. This is it, this is Darling's legacy. Absolutely shagged the economy, & ushered in a decade & a half of policy that's basically meant that while "the economy" has recovered, it really hasn't for most plebians. Truly a great Labour man. Oh, & of course being an absolute oval office in the indy ref. Can never forgive that.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Inquest into Ruth Perry's death. She was the head teacher who committed suicide following an Ofsted inspection. I know at least 2 HMIs who only got the job because they were banging an inspector who was inspecting their school at the time. They were loving awful teachers and now they're in charge of assessing others! The whole organisation is corrupt as gently caress - hard to prove but they, at least in my experience (teacher for near a decade now) they definitely go in looking for reasons to get LA schools into MATs. OFSTED delenda est.

It sounds pretty grim honestly. "The whiskey is layered over the Irish cream in a shot glass, and the shot glass is then dropped into a glass of stout. The drink should be consumed quickly as the alcohol will cause the cream to curdle within a short time."

About a decade ago I got to see the Pogues at the Brixton Academy where they closed the show with Fairytale of New York, and I vividly remember Shane McGowan dancing with the other vocalist on stage. Sucks I'll never be able to experience that again, but he lived a life and left a legacy of some of the best songs I've ever heard.

I have diabetic clinic next week so have 5 days to correct 3 months of binging on sugary carby stuff. If my number doesn't go down they're going to send me to reeducation camp. I said "I know what I'm supposed to do, it's doing it that's the hard part". Hopefully when I cut my working hours down from January I'll be a lot less stressed and not have to use food as a tranquilizer. Maybe someone else lives near a Home Bargains (or maybe they're in other stores, I think they were Walkers, maybe Gary Wokener can give them a go?)

I'm not sure I like the side effects of that "The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation." Have to see - not sure how Wales compares to England on prescribing that - I'd rather not take meds though. When I put my mind to it and am relatively low-stress, I can lose a lot of weight, but as soon as I get stressed, wham.
