Boris and his chancellor ("finance minister" to you commoners) were just both given fines for breaking lockdown rules. The Tories have sent the Right Honourable MP from the Monkees out to defend them. Judging from the comments, it has not gone over well. | |

Partygate is the best thing that's happened to the Labour party in 100 years. More fines coming for Boris, followed by more lies that only the stupidest 20% of his supporters will believe. We're seeing a Labour gov't at the next election. | |

That's true, a good chunk don't pay attention and vote the same way no matter what. I reckon it's about 60% of voters who are virtually un-swayable. It's the other 40% I'm banking on. Hearing a lot of people who voted Tory in '19 saying there's no way they'll vote Tory next time after the last three years' shitshow. | |

It'd probably help if people had more (real) options than us v them. I'm sure it's easy to identify with one and consider the other option to be the polar opposite, and never even consider switching no matter what happens. Kind of like swapping sports teams. | |

I think there'd be a lot less of that if we went to proportional representation. A party with 40% of the popular vote should not have an overwhelming parliamentary majority, as happened here in the last election. | |

They're making a big fuss about going back to the 1950s and imperial measurements again. Brexit ftw! | |

We already use imperial for a fair few things. Miles, pints, feet, inches, stones, I buy my weed in imperial units, and I buy my bananas by the bunch. I'll use whichever system is appropriate and makes most sense to me. If we're talking short distances, imperial is more natural. If something is 24 feet away, it's four of me. If it's 24 meters away, it's a bit more than 12 of me. Roughly 14 at a guess. I like feet and inches more because I'm a nice round figure in imperial height at 6 feet. If I were a lanky 2 meters I'd probably like meters more. Either way, I'm drinking my cider by the pint and buying my weed by the quarter ounce. | |

Funny thing was when I was buying weed, you talked about it in imperial, but everything was actually done in metric. | |

05-31-2022 04:59 AM

Actually this is true. My guy weighs it out in grams. And I get 7 grams, which is actually slightly under. An ounce is roughly 28.3 grams (always be suspicious of someone who knows how many grams in an ounce). And yeah if I verified (I don't unless it's not my regular guy), my scale tells me in grams. But it wasn't always like this. I'm old enough to remember when digital scales were rare. Back in the 90s, weed was usually weighted using "pans", which is slang for a balance scale. And a 2p coin weighs the same as a quarter ounce, so that would be used for the counterbalance. That's distinctly imperial! | |

If that 1 in 10000 is precise then I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a case where the historians might be wrong. If it's roughly 1 in 10000 that's a reasonable enough coincidence for me. | |

I'd be surprised if back then, they both a) had instruments that measured volume that precisely, and b) were able to distill 100% pure mercury. | |

Well, you don't need to be able to actually measure volume that accurately if you can do the calculations on paper. Fahrenheit the dude was apparently a very precise person, as precise as he could be given the technology available to him. But I've watched one youtube video on this subject. | |
| |

I haven't heard anything or looked into it recently, but Fahrenheit's papers were well preserved, IIRC, and all his methodology and reasoning is still around to be read. | |

Seems mad to have the scale upside down like that, given temperature has a minimum but not a maximum. That's kinda obvious too when you understand that temperature is the kinetic energy of molecules. A molecule can always vibrate more, but once it's not vibrating, it can't vibrate less. So having a scale that has a finite upper bound but practically infinite lower bound, that's hoodoo. | |
| |
06-02-2022 09:16 AM
#2223
| |
Probably a bad use of the word "molecule" there, the pedant in me is thinking every molecule has a maximum temperature before it breaks down into elements and then subatomic particles. But the gist of that post still holds. | |

You're getting Fahrenheit mixed up with Celsius mojo. As in the people. Celsius's original scale had 0 as the boiling point of water, and 100 as freezing. This was apparently done because it avoids negative numbers in common weather usage. It's never going to be hotter than the boiling point of water. | |
| |
06-02-2022 10:00 AM

Yeah it was Celcius who had the scale upside-down, Farenheit was upside-up but picking numbers out of his ass. | |

I mean, there is an upper limit in the sense nothing can be hotter than the big bang singularity, but it's so ludicrously high a number that it might as well be limitless. | |

In other breaking international law news, the UK gov't is about to put forth a bill to scrap the Northern Ireland protocol (or at least the parts they don't like), in direct contravention of our Brexit agreement with EU.

What I also don't get is why our judges didn't stop the plane, at least temporarily, so there could be a proper hearing on legality. The European court argued that if it turned out the policy was illegal it would be pretty hard to find those people in Rwanda to bring them back. | |

Just a reminder that "gammon" is a racist term. I know people who use that word like to argue it isn't, because nobody actually admits to racism, but it literally refers to the colour of a white person's skin when they're angry. | |

If I were to call a fat ugly Inuit woman an "Eskimoo" is that racist? | |
| |
06-15-2022 08:29 AM
#2246

I mean that's not the best example because Eskimo is an ethnic term that most people accept it distasteful. So "Eskimoo" is clearly an ethnic slur. "Gammon" is different. But we're still arguing that because "gammon" only applies to angry right wing white people, that it's not racist. But it's still a slur based on the colour of someone's skin. I don't see how it's even open to debate. It's clearly racist. | |

If there was a Black or Asian person who was vociferously nationalistic to the point of being openly racist I would have no problem calling them gammon too. | |

I'm with ong on this one. Calling someone gammon is racist. We should totally give hell to any and all black or asian people calling white people that, after they've enslaved and oppressed white people for a few centuries. | |
06-15-2022 03:54 PM
#2250
| |
Ok so it's only possible to be racist to someone who has been oppressed for longer than they've been alive. I'm assuming that's what your sarcasm implies. Racism against white people is impossible because they've not been oppressed for centuries by black people. So let's oppress them, right? Then maybe in a few centuries it's actual racism. But not now. | |
