nopantsjack posted:Sanders makes Clinton look weaker by staying in the race in much the same way as Ben Carson weakened Trump by staying in. The Clinton campaign already can turn their entire attention towards Trump because she's won. I like Sanders and it would be preferable if he can pressure Clinton into adding some of his popular leftwing policies into her campaign but she doesn't have to. By being in the race however he shows the support for his ideas, and Clinton, like Trump, does not have to win only the primary, she has to win the base in the election too, so his being in splits the base support for the moment and makes Clinton's policies look weaker with them.

Pretty much. Some people are not picking Hillary over Trump in head-to-heads because they are Bernie supporters and don't want to boost her numbers high enough for talking heads to go "see, she's more electable - don't vote Bernie" - by pretending they wouldn't vote for her in the general they're artificially inflating Bernie's popularity. Of course, Hillary supporters are most likely doing the same thing to Bernie. And up until Trump won his primary Republicans were doing the same little game about any of the higher-percentage GOPs. Basically while it's a bad smell, the canary is still fine for the moment.

Back to UK topics, I'm starting to miss the days when you could expect Daily Sport calendars in site offices rather than the Daily Mail Royle Babby calendar set. It's political correctness gone mad. (Really there's a lot of things I'd prefer to either. Most things except maybe "customs of the peoples of the world, annotated by Nigel Farage".

http://www.itpro.co.uk/public-sector/26637/another-1000-innocent-people-listed-in-biometrics-databasequote:A correction has been published by the government, explaining that 53 per cent of the 9,600 individuals on counter-terrorism databases have never been convicted of a crime. The original report said 53 per cent of 7,800 people were innocent. The number of people on the databases is kind of irrelevant though, what really gets me is that none have ever been convicted of any crime at all. Like, anything, ever. I swear, the only reason there hasn't been legal action is because, naturally, the names of the people on the database are secret. It's a blatant violation of human rights, surely?

my mum does, but she's old and is probably used to writing things on a calendar instead of putting a reminder on her phone

Because faffing around with my phone is harder than just grabbing a pencil and scribbling illegibly. Also the calendar is always visible. I may have grown up with them but computers just aren't a good substitute for having a bit of paper with stuff written on it stuck somewhere visible. Also not good for taking notes on.

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/didsbury-costa-coffee-terror-attack-11394396#ICID=FB-MEN-main A man broke his arm DIVING out a coffee shop’s first floor window after mistaking schoolchildren shouting and banging trays for a terror attack. The man was among many customers thrown into panic at Costa Coffee in Didsbury village during the disturbance on Wednesday afternoon. People sitting on the first floor of the cafe are reported to have ‘freaked out’ when they heard shouting and several ‘gunshot-like’ bangs. Eye witnesses said the man, believing the premises to be under siege, clambered out of one the front windows head-first before running to a nearby bank to call for help. Other customers upstairs said they, too, thought they were under attack. One lady at Costa said customers thought an attack was happening

happyhippy posted:People still buy calendars? They're pretty much an expected feature of workshops and site offices though, because you can scribble 'Closed' or 'Tom on hols' and a couple of arrows a lot faster than you can log into the team enabled shared Google calendar and tap in a note. And it's expected for them to be from a newspaper or one of the suppliers, just not the Daily Mail and not Royle Babby.

I can tell from this comment that you haven't seen the following "news" "story": Police officers in rural areas fear they would be "sitting ducks" in the event of a terrorist gun attack in the UK. I for one don't believe a word of it, as it's well known that everyone and their mum's packing out in the countryside (a moot point anyway because like you say, what is there to bomb out there? The article seems to think the answer is heavy industry (fair play to the terrorists if they can find any left) and nuclear power plants, which it mentions are specifically guarded by armed officials but then does some wordplay to pretend they're not) Renaissance Robot fucked around with this message at 18:03 on May 27, 2016 |

Didsbury is hardly rural, it's the suburbs where students used to live in dingy flats. Now it's the domain of wine bars, hotels, restaurants, young executives and posho's due to fast internet and quick transport in and out of the city centre. It's also exactly the kind of place where people would cower in terror at the sound of children playing.
