I think you'll find that "lavatory" started as a policy recommendation and eventually they mistakenly removed the space

Maugrim posted:I do the "highest interest rate off MSE" thing - be prepared to move your money around every so often as interest rates change. I quite like the app-only ones like Zopa and Tandem but I only tried them in the first place because they were offering very competitive rates. That seems... low. I guess the US is particularly good on insuring bank deposits? (guarantee is theoretically 250k, in practice virtually infinite but if you're in that sweet spot between a mere two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and a million or so, it's something you might consider thinking about)

I'm trying to work out whether Octopus or Ovo's ev tariffs are awful or not and my brain hurts. p.s. the energy prices regime in this country is so loving stupid I don't know if it's a relevant thing for the UK but I have a friend who got a Chevrolet Bolt a bit ago after his car was totaled and he adores it.

keep punching joe posted:Direct action works I'm... not certain about the sourcing on the reason. I assume the subsidiary was sold and the arms manufacturing is in fact shut down because it wouldn't be very hard to disprove either of those claims, but afaict the source for "they shut it down because of our direct action" is the direct action organization's claim that they received a message from the new owner that they shut it down because of the direct action. On a first pass the other reporting is entirely from other sympathetic outlets citing the action org.

looks like elbit has been screwed with by direct action in both the US and UK since even before the start of hostilities and it ratcheted up after Oct 7 for obvious reasons. I could buy that it was costly enough to make them not like the math. I'm still not seeing anything public from the actual companies or anything like that. page snipe broke my followup away from the op

oh I don't think it's funny trolling, I got caught in the backblast of a previous one many moons ago (that in fairness he asked about before posting and like a dumbass, I shrugged and said sure) I guess it's good that I posted then anyway I don't have a census of mod opinions on Gaza but it's trivially true that I'm on the "ceasefire now, one state solution with truth and reconciliation model would be nice" boat so that's at worst one end of the continuum

Today I also discovered that venison farming in the UK is a whole thing. Over here the usda inspection process for deer is apparently a really annoying hassle, so almost nobody raises them commercially and it's either expensive or sourced from individual hunters you happen to know.

crispix posted:thank you kind people who recommended me for thread idiot lord protector couple quick tips since I'm fine with adding a couple more and may as well do it here rather than in pms: - you can edit thread titles and maybe do other things (slowmode?) - six hour probations are autoapproved and you have buttons for queueing anything, but in practice anything above a day should probably be made our problem unless a chain probe for a bit would be extremely funny - you can't get an automatic new sixer until the person's existing probation runs out, this gets especially confusing for IKs who get promoted to mods and have six hour placeholder probations embedded in muscle memory - IKs can't see reports, for the protection of your sanity

forkboy84 posted:Come on side effect of SSRI meds for depression & anxiety is an increased risk of suicidal thoughts, especially in the first 4-8 weeks on them. Combine that with another common side effect, erectile dysfunction, & starting SSRIs can be a pretty bad time. i took em for anxiety and they sucked for me personally discomfort, seizure risk fortunately i appear to be in the basket of like 20% of anxiety sufferers where l-theanine, the magical chemical in green tea, is... magical. some brilliant japanese feller figured out how to isolate it some decades ago. Normal people and 80% of anxiety sufferers? It's pleasantly calming. Me and my ilk? it's miraculous (presumably because we have a deficiency in the brain chemical it stimulates)
