Yeah it's not helping here either. I think I'm getting more sensitive to winter as I get older.

kecske posted:I feel like if I was able to work from home then the lines between workday/downtime would blur sufficiently that I would end up doing extra bits outside of my contracted hours. As it is, the second the workday ends I'm out of the door with tools left comically spinning in the air like a cartoon Honestly, given the way you describe leaving the office, I reckon you'd be pretty good at not blurring work/non-work time. Back in the 'before times' I was very much a stickler for leaving promptly. I'll give the company the 7.5 good hours, and then I'm out of there. When I went fully remote, there continued (and continues) to be a ceremony of "I'm no longer at work" - it just changed a bit. Instead of shutting the laptop down, putting it in the carrying-bag, leaving the office, and driving home, I just shut down the laptop and put it away in its bag. Edit: It sounds kind of silly when I write it out, but in my mind, grabbing the work laptop from its case, booting it up, and logging in, really does feel like a truncated commute - I'm going to work. magimix fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Apr 27, 2024 |

We've had weird/poo poo Aprils for the last few years tbf. Like when we'd have a mini-heatwave for a week and then the next full on snow. It's just this year the heatwave has been two half days of sun and instead of snow it's just been cold and dreary.

2020 and lockdown conference calls in the garden in March / April with it getting up to 23 C, it’s a far cry from that currently.

I get to keep wearing my large gothy coats for a bit longer before it gets so warm that I wish I could remove my skin to cool down. gently caress summer in this country of stupid under insulated houses.

Because the North atlantic Ocean is really warm this year, we got a warm+wet winter because the predominant weather pattern was air masses off the Atlantic coming over the UK, which are full of evaporated water from the hotter Atlantic and pushed out the arctic and Scandinavian air masses that cause cold winters. The problem is that this has continued over spring, amd we've not had any air masses from Africa or Western Europe that usually cause hot weather in April. So we've had a "average" temperature April that feels missing because it's also been wet and cloudy the entire time. Hot Ocean doesn't necessarily mean Hot UK, just means not freezing.

OwlFancier posted:Yeah it's not helping here either. I think I'm getting more sensitive to winter as I get older. Get a HEPA filter. You can get one for like £60-100ish and it's changed my life. I put it on for an hour or two in my bedroom before I go to bed and suddenly I can breathe during hayfever season. You walk into the room and the air just feels significantly fresher, like on a mountain top. I cannot overstate how big a difference it made for my hayfever.

Do you have an example link for the kind of thing I should be looking for? Mostly just getting replacement filters for presumably other devices. E: found some under "air purifer" will have a look, cheers.

I wonder if I can get one that takes the same P3 filters as my respirator lol E: also I literally have all the equipment to test for airborne particle concentrations I should do that and quantify the difference. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Apr 27, 2024 |

Don't think we've had our bedroom HEPA filter off except to change the filter for 4 years... It's been such a life changer. Plus the white noise at night is so nice. It's a TCL Breeva. Do be careful and don't get a fancy Levoit one tho. We loved the bedroom filter so much we bought a much bigger one for downstairs. It bricked itself the day after the warranty expired. Looked it up online and that happened to so many people it can't be accidental. Mebh fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Apr 27, 2024 |

For a mere three thousand pounds I could completely change the air in my bedroom every few minutes. https://www.beaconinternational.co....rGbFyqj1Ccq59aM Like if I just put this in the doorway and run it backwards I can have the cleanest air in the world. Yes they sound like a jet engine but that's fine. You could probably pressurize an entire house with one of those. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Apr 27, 2024 |

Oh look, the same cunts are currently going after murals of Palestinian children, doctors & journalists murdered in Gaza. Naturally the councils are happy to remove them as anything that depicts Palestinians in a positive light is anti-Semitism.

All well and good until you trip over with a bowl of cereal and it inhales them, then your cats, then you. I suppose it'd be fun to answer the door to political canvassers with that tho.

https://twitter.com/PolitlcsUK/status/1784333851755516333?t=QjGhkm6C-VYzLpAGfUwpKw Seems like that'll be the end for Yousaf. What a massive strategic blunder this week has been for the SNP, just an incredible display of weakness to stab their long-standing allies in the back, especially when Harvie and Slater were publically backing the close relationship with the SNP. There was no guarantee the Green membership was going to vote to dissolve the coalition, and even if it had resulted in a vote against, while it would have been politically damaging it wouldn't have hurt half as much as this vote is going to. If they truly believed that the Greens quitting the coalition was an unacceptable level of damage, they could have worked something out with the Green leadership to jointly dissolve the coalition, or they could have arranged a vote of the SNP membership too so both sides were voting on it. Honestly the only thing I can imagine is that Yousaf was being threatened with resignations or challenges from within his own party and panicked because he's such a weak leader. It's just baffling. Surely they can't have been so delusional as to think that calling the two green co-leaders (who are still very popular with members as I understand it) to unceremoniously fire them on the morning of FMQs as if they're an afterthought wouldn't be seen as a treacherous insulting act. Surely they must have discussed what Alba would ask for. I'll admit I didn't expect Salmond to basically give them the political equivalent of a tradesman's "gently caress off" price, but you'd hope politicians would have their finger on the pulse better than some chump who gets most of their news via tweets in this thread. Apparently they didn't do either of those things, which just speaks to sheer incompetence on both his part and anyone in the party who is pulling his strings. I imagine we'll soon see the news pivot onto whether the Greens will support a VONC in the whole government next, though. That's going to be dicey for them, my guess is that they'll support it if Yousaf's interim successor isn't one of the loonies who described the Greens as "extremist".
