I'm not sure which element of that story is more ridiculous, the idea that a former president of the Oxford University Jewish Society and preferred candidate of the Jewish Labour Movement is somehow a vicious antisemite, or the fact that Jim Murphy is still relevant other than as a warning to others.

In fairness, I think it's reasonable enough that Jim Murphy is still relevant to his local constituency party. Probably the only place at that.

Please tell me this becomes a controversy because Rhea received so much hateful poo poo from anti-Semites when she put herself forward and for Jim Murphy to then enable those pricks is just gross as all hell.

No joke I would be super happy if someone would invent some sort of portable directional spectrometer.

It would make my life so much easier :(

Hell they might exist for all I know, I just remember the ones I used in chemistry were these huge boxes with a slot to measure the thing in.

Those sort of things do exist for pigment/paint matching. They're also pretty expensive if properly calibrated.

You can make a cheapass directional spectrometer with a piece of DVD as a diffraction grating, a webcam as the sensor array, a lightproof box, some card with a slit in it, and some lenses from a toy telescope though. It'll just be an rear end to calibrate.

You could use a smartphone instead of the webcam, and then it'd look more like this:


You could even make it look fancier depending on how much you were willing to pay.

Still got to calibrate it though.

My old local used to have a folk/country thing on a Wednesday which was good for drinking to.

Yeah, I'm moving in September where hopefully I'll have more space to do the cool things that ~*actual bona fide ingredients*~ can do if you give them time + space, because it's cool and good. But right now, definitely not, at least not with the kitchen and storage space I have right now.

I see Ken Livingstone is still acting like an arse with as little self-awareness as certain UKMT regulars.

The man is incapable of just not making public appearances. He's far too in love with the spotlight. “I think this has been largely manufactured by people trying to undermine Jeremy Corbyn,” yes Ken, it kind of has but you'd think that because you are aware of that you'd maybe shut your loving trap for a few minutes, or at the very least consider your words a lot more carefully & tactfully when you know people are going to use your idiocy as a stick to beat the leader with.

The guy who cut my hair and beard a few days ago said he is a strongly in the leave camp because "it shouldn't be illegal to have an English flag outside your house". I didn't argue with him on account of the razor he was holding to my throat at the time.

He followed up by saying he won't be voting anyway as he's on holiday that week, so he can't. I could have told him about postal votes, but... naah.
