My condolences Depends what you like/budget really- there's a cheap chinese buffet called tangs at the top of the high street, most of the posher places are towards thorpe bay/shoebury, theres a good family owned italian called the ancora about 15 mins down the road in hadleigh. Oh, bombay blues if you want a good curry.

Everywhere was so hot that physics didn't work. Then it cooled down so only some physics didn't work. Then things started clumping together. Then the problems started.

what the gently caress does "not lately" mean it's certainly an odd way of phrasing "not since the early nineties", the last time that would have been a vaguely acceptable opinion e: leaving aside the, at best poorly worded, Tory sounding catchphrase E2: lol, it's a blairism so not just tory sounding XMNN fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Sep 23, 2018 |

It's not a smart joke to make, especially in an official capacity, but I have to think a Celtic fan is probably not dressing up in orange to play a tin whistle.

Pochoclo posted:Work canteens are universally terrible unless you happen to work at Google Yeah no. Without doxing myself, my company's main site has 6 different restaurants/cafes, all of which are as good or better than high street. The poshest one - with table service - will cost you a fiver for a three course meal. The smaller sites all have more traditional canteens but the food is still decent quality and will typically cost you about 3 quid for a lunch. This started because all the sites were in the middle of loving nowhere, but the main site pushed it up a notch because it's a major selling point to new hires, and probably saves them tens if not hundreds of thousands in salary. Ironically my site is about the only one that *doesn't* have on-site food, partly because it's the smallest and mostly because it would be pointless, given you can get just about any cuisine known to humanity within ten minutes walk, although not subsidised. It's interesting because until relatively recently any workplace with more than 50 or so staff would be expected to have a staff canteen - an office I worked in, built in the late 90s, had one (but the company never loving manned it the tight bastards). They do actually do wonders for staff morale and should make sense even to the deadest-eyed capitalist because at no actual extra cost to your company you pretty much guarantee a happier, more productive workforce. It gives you an idea of just how lovely modern management is that they'd rather not do this even though it's normally cost-neutral.

Very large snd very small scale physics are confusing nonsense topics and its best to avoid thinking about either. E: Very fast physics is also mind melting bullshit and probably some other fields I'm forgetting too.

I still struggle to get my head around the idea of 'nothing', like, it's not merely empty space (like the inside of a Tory's head, fnar fnar). But I guess that's partly why you need really complicated maths to really talk about this stuff usefully. E; Heh  Sorry Julio!

The notion of a center to the universe is somewhat complicated by the fact that you, as far as I understand it, can't hit the edge. Because you would just arc back round if you tried.

Hexyflexy posted:That's assuming so many things it's silly. You really should start to educate yourself before proclaiming things "stupid" or "silly". If the start of the universe, the Big Bang, happened somewhere, then where did it happen? There must have been space for it to happen in if indeed it did have a location... but space didn't exist at that point. This is largely agreed on by physicists. http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/ab...ed-intermediate

https://twitter.com/bbclaurak/status/1043933079042232322 Seems like a good compromise to me. On the one hand it's an outright promise of a referendum, but it still enables Labour to face both ways and say 'we don't want to do this, but unless the Tories let us unfuck their deal we'll be left with no choice'.

Maybe your dad is a bad explainer, or you're a bad listener, or quite possibly *both* of you are just ignorant of cosmology. Go find Cosmos on YouTube and watch the bit on the Big Bang. Maybe make your dad watch it too.
