I'm also in the "quit labour and has been telling anyone who will listen to quit too" gang and have been for awhile so maybe someone could also remove me from the list of clp members thanks in advance Of course if anyone is looking for guidance about their labour party membership then they should A: cancel their direct debit B: send a resignation email C: crack one out The order of which is up for debate but I feel it's a solid plan none the less

I'm increasingly convinced that most melts don't know what the left actually is, only that the guardian says they're bad, and if the political extremes to the right are bad then the left also bad? By extension this has been weaponised into 'well if we have to ban right wing comedies, stands to reason we should ban left comedies as well, simple as.'

I've friends (with possibly questionable residential status) who used to do sandwich delivery in The City - earned an absolute pittance. Get to work about 6am, spend several hours buttering slices of bread and doing the fillings, wrapping them up then taking them round city offices hawking them off those neck tray things. I can't see people making a living wage for a home delivered sarnie to people who are at home with their own bread and butter when you can get a decent egg mayo sarnie pack for £1 from Home Bargains most days.

I was talking to one of my managers yesterday and they were actually glad to be back in work. Allbeit the reason for it is because they have to keep living with family and it has been "a hard loving lockdown", to borrow a term they used. Also dealing with older people is rapidly becoming my least favourite thing to do.

Allbeit the reason for it is because they have to keep living with family and it has been "a hard loving lockdown", to borrow a term they used. Was chatting with a friend yesterday who has just broken up with her partner after they were forcibly stuck at home together for almost 5 months and trying to WFH. The stress of being in a small flat and working from home with different working hours broke them. I think unless you have a separate study/home office space and quite strict boundaries between work/domestic life including somehow keeping people apart, I can quite see the appeal of an office. Also some people need frequent interaction with others so if you live alone going in to work might also be better. (Ed: also there are still many people who don't consider WFH is actually work. One of my friends is an artist who WFH and people are always expecting her to drop everything to give them lifts, fetch their grandkids from school at short notice, be able to 'pop' several miles to an elderly relative's home to help out with something.) I wonder if the 'shared local work spaces' - so not at home but also not commuting - business might get a big uptick? Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 13:03 on Sep 1, 2020 |

I'm not even particularly rural, only about 20 miles from Glasgow, and yet the only food delivery app we have out here is JustEat, which isn't even strictly the same as something like Deliveroo or UberEats, cuz it uses the restaurant's drivers. I just want to have McDonalds delivered to my house, dammit.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:I remember those from about 35 years ago Nope, stopped a while ago and now goes Hammersmith - Edgware Road - Aldgate - HSK - Paddington (so it visits Paddington twice). Allegedly this is to improve train frequency to Shepherd's Bush and environs, but I prefer the theory it's because it was too much effort to remember to swap trains between inner and outer lines so they were all getting worn down on one side like a wild Haggis. My angry letters to Sadiq Khan explaining that "Circle Line" is now a breach of the Trades Descriptions Act and demanding the line be renamed "Partially-Straightened-Out-Paperclip Line" have, so far, gone unanswered. Jaeluni Asjil posted:And telex - does anyone still do that? Yes and no - most telcos will no longer offer a dedicated telex line and the international network has been shut down, however point-to-point networks (especially in developing-world banks and governments) are still in use, and telex-over-modem and telex-over-IP both exist and some company somewhere probably still bases their entire operation on a Heath Robinson assemblage of 1950s telexes running into 1960s serial links into 1980s modems into Windows 3.1 machines into the internet then back down again at the other end. I did once work at a place that still had an old teletype input-output module that one of the greybeards had hacked together to be able to access the internet and I have to say it was the single most satisfying piece of electronic equipment I have ever used, although Youtube ended up using up a *lot* of paper.
