FUCKING DOING OUR JOB AS TRANSPORT MODELLERS AND DOING A FUCKING COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS THAT SHOWS YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO GET FUCKING MODE SHIFT FROM RURAL USERS UNLESS YOU RUN A FUCKING METRO STYLE 10 MINUTELY SERVICE WHICH IS FUCKING UNFEASIBLE WITH THE FUCKING RESOURCES WE HAVE AVAILABLE.
IN THE FUCKING UK WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF FUCKING ABANDONED RAILWAYS FROM THE PERIOD OF FUCKING COAL MINING THAT WOULDN’T HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE FUCKING DEMAND NECESSARY TO JUSTIFY SETTING UP AN EXPENSIVE AS FUCK SIGNALLING SYSTEM TO BRING THEM UP TO MODERN FUCKING SAFETY STANDARDS, ALONGSIDE REPLACING THE FUCKING RAILS, SLEEPERS AND BEDS.
IF INSTEAD YOU CAN HAVE A FUCKING PUBLICALLY OWNED FLEET OF FUCKING ELECTRIC ‘MINI TRAINS’ THAT PEOPLE COULD USE FOR INFREQUENT BUT NECESSARY TRIPS, THAT COULD REMOVE A FUCKING SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO MODE SHIFT, WHICH WOULD BE PRETTY FUCKING RAD
My therapist tells me to close down all but the part of the position where I have an advantage, so that I can build pressure before making my break.
Writing it out,
Bxd8 Bxf2
Ke2 (only move) Bg4#
Since the king is in check and the light squared bishop covers f3, the dark squared bishop covers e1 and e3, the knight covers d2 and f2, and the rest are blocked by white’s pieces
Not only that, but Bxd8 Bb4 allows c3 and white survives.
Or somewhere not in the us.
Holy shit. That seems so helpful
I use it to scrape up all the stuff once I’ve chopped it. Chop onion, use spine of blade to scrape onto this, dump in pot. Saves lifting heavy chopping board, or scraping onto thin knife.
Just move to the UK. This is the norm.
Inability to take a compliment is tied to the general cultural dislike of ‘people who get above themselves’. Arrogance is the cardinal sin, and so in receiving a compliment you either a) accept it (meaning you agree with them that you’re great, which is a sign of arrogance!) or b) deny it (false modesty! A sign of even greater arrogance!). The only acceptable response is to sputter and turn red with embarrassment.
I just find it really funny that they’re named after the place Portishead, which isn’t really much to look at as small towns go, and yet they’ve achieved international success.
The incongruity is amusing to me for some reason.
I agree, and am in favour of decriminalisation of marijuana, but I will present the argument against as I think it’s more nuanced than some people will make out.
Alcohol is a substance that is indelibly intertwined with our culture and rituals. Our socialising at bars, pubs and clubs; our celebrations (champagne!); and our meals (taking a bottle of wine to dinner with friends). Marijuana, by contrast, is in the UK a relatively new introduction. It doesn’t currently serve the same social function.
If each were to do the same level of damage and carry the same risk, it wouldn’t make sense to spend your political capital trying to ban alcohol (look at how prohibition turned out!) as it’s simply too deeply ingrained in our culture to try. But you could seek to prevent marijuana from reaching the same level of cultural necessity through stigma and criminalisation.
From a public health perspective, this would make sense; less cost to health services from related health conditions. So you don’t decriminalise, and at the same time take reasonable steps to try to reduce the harm to public health caused by alcohol.
Where I think this argument falls down is in the criminalising aspect. Does it truly prevent weed from reaching that status, and are your disincentives targeting the right people? To me it seems far more sensible to treat people as adults and educate them on the health risks of both alcohol and the devil’s lettuce.
I’m gonna say the dog did a good job this time. If there’s someone unstable in a building with a gun, I’d rather a robot go in and either negotiate or use non-lethal force than a person do it, since a remote operator is much less likely to overreact than someone in person.
The issue for me isn’t with the technology, and more with who is applying it and why. It should be explicitly for harm reduction purposes, and they shouldn’t be equipped with lethal force.
Non binary pawns pog

Not as much as it used to be before LLOYD GEORGE got his way smh
Joke’s on you – I started work during the pandemic. And, more to the point, my company was doing flexitime and WFH long before I joined, because their employees like it and because they’re the kind of employer that values the input of their workforce.
Also, I could flip your last argument. It’s the workers that turn up and generate value for the business. Salaries aren’t paid out of the goodness of the employer’s heart. It’s a transaction, selling labour, and as with any transaction there has to be good will on both sides for the relationship to function.
What? It’s a return to the office, not work. It’s not the 8 hours; it’s the additional hour (if you’re lucky) getting there and back which, for some jobs, brings no discernable benefit.
Yeah, it’s pretty good. Depends on your tastes; it’s more nuanced than most TV in its criticisms of the armed forces, but at the same time it is still unavoidably about the police and the navy so if having them as the protagonists is something you won’t get on with don’t bother.
White resigns.
