My naan recipe involves 90 minutes of waiting which makes it a faff in my opinion. Are you telling me I just mix it and bake?

The FTPA (First Toast Post Aaah!) set the minimum to 5 years, so the coalition partners couldn't (threaten to) explode the coalition for political gain, but there's always been a maximum. Though it's probably written on a stone in Wiltshire and also made up, but thankfully the government can't just go on forever.

The House of Lords fill that weird gap where it's a completely undemocratic group of utter ghouls who wouldn't be anywhere near power if they didn't have money/connections/dirt on certain former PMs

But because they're unelected ghouls they don't really give a poo poo about lobbying groups and occasionally give the Correct outcome.

Obviously tiny Rishi can just force it through but it makes him sweat a bit, which is nice.

On the subject of Rose, she got married to her husband when she was 19 and he was in his 40's. They got married two days after the engagement was announced, and around three months later she gave birth to twins. He's spent most of his time since then living in Paris with his openly gay roommate, and she's never lived more than 15 minutes away from William. One of the twins was a page boy at Charles and Camilla's wedding.

There's a non-zero chance that those twins are William's, and as such could have a direct claim to the throne.

What the gently caress?? gently caress you buddy

The ONLY reason to be saying this is when you’re annoyed they don’t corned beef bakes everywhere. They defo do them in Yorkshire and the north east, and I thought it was limited to there but I was in Leicester the other day and had one there but they don’t do them in Manchester which is just baffling and very frustrating for me

My experience with wankers in business is it’s like a “you can sleep your way to the middle but not the top”.

The bullies I’ve come across were all (with tiny exceptions) middle management at best. David Brent was a good capture of this.

These people aren’t trying to travel on expired passports, the passports are valid, but the UK rule is that passports are valid for ten years, plus any leftover validity you had on your old passport at time of renewal, up to nine months. The European rule is that your passport can only be used up to the tenth anniversary of issue.

So some people have up to nine months left on a passport that is more than ten years old, so they assume it’s valid and fine, but the EU won’t let them in.

It is pretty dumb, but it’s not as totally dumb as trying to travel on a passport that is past its expiry date.

The NI cut is a bribe to their most loyal voters - even the oval office knows they're losing in a big way - in the hope that a few of those with the biggest majorities can delay having to get an actual job for 5 more years.

Not exactly all pensioners. I just know my 40-something colleague who is a "why cant we all just get along" centrist will vote tory purely on the grounds that labour have said they'll add VAT to school fees. From what she's previously said, this is the view a lot of her friends will take. Sod everything and everyone else.

Just looking through the 2021 census data and even though England as a whole is only 82% white, there are still over 500 electoral wards which are more than 98% white.

Don't get me wrong, this is an example of something in the NHS which (if it hasn't already been changed) does need reform. But it needs careful, well-funded and centralised change, and you simply can't do that when every department, hospital and trust are being run as their own thing, and even worse have the Blairite management college idea of 'competing with each other.'

Oliver Cromwell, the ultimate anti-establishment politician

forkboy84 posted:

I was doing an irony. Like, the notion that Oliver Cromwell was much of an anti-establishment politician is inherently silly. And if I was going to be pedantic, even though the War of The Three Kingdoms period isn't one I'm that knowledgeable on, I'd say that Lilburne wasn't an MP so he can't really be an anti-establishment politician when he fails the second part of the phrase, secondly if I was going to laud anyone from the period unironically it's more likely to be Winstanley than Lilburne. The Diggers were willing to go the extra step & advocate for the common ownership of land.

It was explicitly the point of microprocessors too though, replace a huge modular logic thing with a single slab that you make a hundred million of. Which gives you a unit (or more likely at first set of discrete units) with a very wide set of utilities, not a bad thing at all.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
