I am a serial puppy snuggler and anyone who tries to stop me is going to regret it. When my dog looks at them all sad and mournfully licks them.

Nah I'm pretty sure I've heard "smuggling puppies" used in that sense too. It sounds like a very '00s lad's mag phrasing.

I'm not going to go for the bat for the guy crying about being on £75k but you'd think the fact people like that are starting to feel the squeeze would be more concerning to those in power. If you're losing the comfortable professionals then who is even left to support the interparty Tory consensus apart from landlords and pensioners? UK wages are just absurdly low overall. Every now and then I wonder how it would look to move back home, and for me it would entail something like a 40-50% drop in salary, while the cost of living somewhere I'd actually find work is only about 10-15% lower (rent and transport likely cost more, food, household stuff and services cost less, utilities probably comparable). And I'd end up paying more tax, with much worse public services and working conditions. We're like a decade from the Poles complaining about all those damned Brits coming over there, taking their jobs, opening their weird fish and chip shops, and not even learning the language.

The safest car for both occupants and other road users is a bus. Unfortunately the state running cheap and frequent buses where people actually need to go is communism, so the only remaining solution is to keep increasing the size of cars until they are effectively buses with only 1-2 passengers, driven by yer hungover da who got his license in 1979 and is fiddling with the radio rather than looking at the road. This is called the best of both worlds.

Failed Imagineer posted:Nadine is bitter as hell The Nadine Dorries saga was one of the funnier sideshows of the Boris era. She backed him without question at every turn, stepped down as a minister when he was booted as PM, said she'd step down as an MP clearly in expectation of a peerage she'd been promised, got kicked off the peerages list and then was forced to resign as an MP anyway. And Johnson's response to her undying loyalty was basically just a shrug.

i dunno if it's really reasonable to expect shops and pubs and stuff to be open 24 hours a day every day. Clubs open all weekend sure, that's what they're for. But it's good for bar staff and retail workers to get some time off.

There are a whole bunch of positions in the UK where you have to swear an oath of personal allegiance to the monarch - MPs, armed forces, the judiciary, police, and notably people naturalising as UK citizens. That was already very silly and objectionable under the last monarch but imagine having to do it now lol.

Paladinus posted:MX Master 2 is objectively the best mouse out there. Yeah last time I was in the mouse market I consulted the "should I buy a $100 mouse thread", decided that I should and got some version of the Logitech MX Master. Best mouse I've owned and it has survived several years of daily use and occasionally falling off my desk onto the tile floor with absolutely no issues.

Marmaduke! posted:Am I misreading this, or is that guy actually trying to protect whistleblowers? Just seems pretty opposite to what you'd normally expect especially from a Tory MP Maybe but probably not really? He previously told parliament that there was no evidence of war crimes by the UK special forces in Afghanistan. Then more recently he was called before an enquiry into those alleged crimes and basically said "yeah some mates of mine in the SAS told me they know about crimes that happened" but refused to name them. He says that he is protecting whistleblowers who did not themselves commit any crimes and spoke to him in confidence, with the implication that they are afraid of retaliation if their names are revealed. It's possible that's true, but it's also possible he is protecting people involved in some pretty brutal atrocities. We don't know, because these possible whistleblowers haven't actually blown the whistle to anyone except him. We do know that he has previously done everything in his power to prevent soldiers who 100% committed some terrible crimes in Northern Ireland from being prosecuted.

My office chair has a similar RRP but I've picked up two of them second hand for under £100 each now so I'm a little doubtful that anyone actually pays full price. They seem like pretty well designed chairs that give you support and flexibility and encourage movement and all that but I'm pretty sure I still find ways to sit in them that are bad for me.

Bear in mind that the government is not obliged to use the best science in their decision making. The whole economic basis for Osborne's austerity drive was a 2010 paper that was well known to be fatally flawed since at least 2013. Yet for some reason the Tories are still keen on austerity in 2024.

Maybe we should just use proper British dates: dating events to the reigns of the various monarchs that ruled parts of what is now the United Kingdom. Might get a bit lengthy to list them all at some points in history and a little apocryphal at others, but at least it's not woke.
