In this light, my approach to idiots on my social media this last week and modlad's approach to idiots on his SpudChan seem eerily similar.

I love the scots verdict of "Not proven". I always think it's the court saying "He dunnit and we know 'e dunnit but we can't prove it so on with yer".

>>65161

Which is pretty much what Michael Jackson's jurors said after his trial ..."We're sure he did it, we just couldn't prove it on this occasion."

>>65161
You seem to have completely misread the post you are replying to, which is itself a refutation of yours.

That post is saying that the verdict means the prosecution's case is so rubbish that there is virtually no charge to answer to begin with.

>>65169
that was my first post in the thread, i didn't bother to read the rest of it.

anyway:

"Both in the "solemn" and the "summary" acquittals, not proven is interpreted as indicating that the jury or judge, respectively, is not convinced of the innocence of the accused; in fact, they may be morally convinced that the accused is guilty, but do not find the proofs sufficient for a conviction. One reason for this is the rule that in such cases the evidence for the prosecution must be corroborated in order to permit a conviction. Thus, there might be a single plaintiff or witness for the prosecution, which the jury or judge believes is both truthful and trustworthy, but no other witness or circumstances against the accused. By Scottish law, the accused then should be acquitted, but often will be so by the verdict not proven.[1]"

that's not the same thing as having 'no charge to answer'. I think you're happily choosing your own interpretation here.

The prosecution gambit was to get him under the Moorov Doctorine - if a lot of people say he's a sexual criminal, then all of their claims (absent other evidence) can corroborate one another and be entered as evidence. What actually happened is when they went trawling for claims (interviewing over 400 women) they had to really reach, drawing in things like "tugging on hair" to try and get a reasonable number of cases in. I think including farcical charges like that undermined their whole case, the jury thought it was bollocks and threw the whole lot out.

The whole business with SNP factionalism around this is very interesting. Sturgeon clearly wasn't on his side and expressed no gladness he'd been found innocent (unlike some other SNP representatives), the Scottish Government has already been sued by Salmond for cocking up their internal investigation into his behaviour - but Sturgeon gets on with the civil servant who was in charge of it and re-appointed them. It'll be interesting to see what evidence of a conspiracy Salmond presents, having claimed he's got it but couldn't enter it into the trial.

I have the same thing, with Three? They seem to let it slide until I try to post something.

How do you do a virtual strike against school while in lockdown? Do you actively go outside or do you just put on a very stern face indeed and livestream yourself playing videogames (because you were doing your schoolwork at home the rest of the week, honest).

It's all such total nonsense at this point. Utter tosh.

Pretty obvious and easy to do if your school is doing virtual lessons.

Also if you were into platform games on the PC back in the early 90s then you might have encountered Jill of the Jungle and Bio Menace. Neither were stand-out titles in the shareware era in particular but the former is notable for being programmed by Tim Sweeney, who went on to found Epic, program the Unreal Engine and steer its course from Quake competitor to industry-wide middleware dominance, and then do Fortnite for 250 million kids or whatever it is now. He makes me feel like a right lazy cunt. Bio Menace is just pure Apogee nostalgia. Strangely gory, actually. I quite liked it back in the day.

Beneath a Steel Sky is hilarious and well worth a playthrough. Some of the dialog is brilliant, though the accents on the voice acting can be a little distracting at times. Can't say anything for the other games.

Clickbait title that didn't even have anything to do with the title.

It seemed suspiciously close in format to an intelligence design propaganda film and that is what it is a propaganda film for a minority theory.

When I see things like this I have to ask myself who made this and why. Because it isn't accepted enough consensus for it to be a pure educational film. I assume someone made this to win some sort of argument not on the validity of their position but based on an appeal to popularism. Maybe they think they will get more funding if they can demonstrate people are interested in this idea? Maybe they just want other physicist to have heard of them so they get a seat at the table. It feels like I'm being taught to take a side in a debate I really have no authority to comment on.

They'll be the death of us yet, anyway. Their poor have a truly unfortunate habit of consuming antibiotic pills individually (as in, one at a time, not a full treatment), failing to kill whatever bacteriological infection they were suffering from, and then shitting where they walk, eventually introducing the now-resistant bacterial strain into the food chain. This is a slow but methodical way to create antibiotic immunity in harmful bacteria, and has been instrumental in wiping out the usefulness of many of the most effective antibiotics.

>>23107

They've bred a new strain of mega-TB.

>>23107

We're pretty much the only country in the world that effectively limits anti-biotic prescriptions. And even then, we undo a lot of that hard work by putting anti-biotics in animal feed and so on.

Like I said a while ago, never mind covid, it's going to be antibiotic resistance that will get us to the end. Look at the graph of global population over the 20th century, and you'll notice we'd hit the peak up until antibiotics were made widely available.

>>23109
>We're pretty much the only country in the world that effectively limits anti-biotic prescriptions.

Got anything to back that up? I get that we regulate the stronger stuff pretty effectively but there's still big problems with over-prescribing penicillin.

Note an actual experience of mine a few years back:
GP: "Yes that cyst on your neck is infected, I'll give you some antibiotics."
Me: "Can you cut it out please so it doesn't keep getting infected again in future?"
GP: "No, it's just cosmetic."

Also the many many cases of tonsillitis which could be caused by a viral infection such as glandular fever, but the doctors will rather just prescribe antibiotics first instead of screening.

>>23110

I don't have any figures, but: Something like 99% of organisms are resistant to penicillin, amoxicillin and derivatives already, so it really don't matter. You can prescribe that while having a swab sent off to the lab to rule out other sources of infection.

When a doctor sends a swab from an infected would or tonsilitis or whatever for testing, it's usually not really to see if/how it's infected. They usually already know that because the vast majority of infections your average person gets are mundade and entirely commonplace. What they're really sending it off for is to see which antibiotics the infection is sensitive and resistant to.

There's then first, second and third line antibiotics which the consultant microbiologist selectively authorises. When the doctor gets the report back from the lab it only includes the first line, the others are censored so some silly bugger doesn't go giving out gentamicin for a chest infection without specific authorisation.

If you shift as much data as Netflix does, you'd be a muppet to pay for transit bandwidth instead of peering. Netflix has some of the most resilient and scalable systems around. To get there, they've built and deployed Chaos Monkey, which randomly switches things off. They happily run it in production, so somewhere in the world right now something of theirs is down and nobody cares.

>>27406
I've heard of that rogue process daemon, "Chaos Monkey" is it.

The web is littered with articles about how Netflix are grudgingly paying ISPs, though, so clearly they pay the piper somehow.

>>27407
It's mainly in the US with domestic ISPs, who held them to ransom by deliberately throttling their traffic until they paid up.

>>27406

Netflix go well beyond peering - they provide free caching servers to ISPs, deployable down to the PoP level. If you're in a city, it's likely that your Netflix stream isn't travelling any further than your local telephone exchange.

Of course, none of that helps if ISPs have ridiculously high contention ratios. The problem is particularly acute for Virgin Media because of the architecture of DOCSIS - they can offer massive "up to" bandwidth, but they can't cope with peak demand.

They're far too small to handle. Best to pull some out (try repotting them if you really want) for space so the roots of the remaining ones don't get tangled then wait until they're a lot sturdier before repotting the them.

>>2802
Thanks for the response.

>Best to pull some out
So pull them out with my fingers or dig them out?

> (try repotting them if you really want)
So you mean pull them out and rearrange in the same pot to space them out a bit?

I don't know what I'm doing

>>2803

If you're going to just thin them out then yes use your fingers. If you're going to try to repot them then use something long and thin and scoopy to try and pull out a plug of soil without disturbing the root (there's probably only one per seedling at this point) too much. Not in the same pot. If you've only got the one pot then just thin them out, don't rearrange them as you'll only end up disturbing the others while potentially killing the ones you do move. How many thyme plants do you need, anyway? Even one can grow to quite a substantial size.

The rim of that pot is a bit too high so you've ended up with some really leggy seedlings growing as tall as they can to catch the sun over the edge. Something to consider for next time*.

*If this happens with anything solanaceae (tomatoes, chillies, peppers, some others) it can be a good thing as they'll put out more roots if you pile soil around their exposed stalks.

Is there some reason why you couldn't leave the seeds together and grow a type of mega-thyme? Gently twist the stalks around one another to create a thick, entwined trunk; then further up encourage each seperate plant out to its own section?

I'm thinking competition of resources might trouble the roots. Could you affect an even distribution of minerals across a large space to mitigate this risk? Or perhaps create borders between seeds, so route growth can be directed away from the others.

Completely unrelated - a while ago i noticed nettles have a tendancy to grow new shoots at about a 90 degree angle from one another. How hard do you suppose it would be to graft sections of two nettles, as pictured? You could have an entire wall latticed with nettles, full of aphids and ant colonies.

>The Blairite Manoeuvre wasn't ideologically led, which is why it was electorally effective; rather than starting from an ideological position and trying to move towards the electorate, it started with the electorate and moved towards an ideological position.
This isn't really true. Blairism is an ideology unto itself, not some ideologically neutral compromise with the electorate. Blair himself has been refreshingly honest about that: Even if the electorate would elect Labour on a Corbynite manifesto, he wouldn't want them to do so because he thinks those policies are wrong for Britain. You can see that when he was in power: when presented with a beneficial crisis like the collapse of Railtrack, they wouldn't sop to public opinion and the left by renationalising the trains as well as the tracks. (A somewhat pointless move that would, nonetheless, have made a lot of people happy and given Blair a legacy that even the Labour left would have to defend in part.)
There are centre-left parties that have successfully cleansed themselves of serious ideological conviction, but UK Labour was never one of them. It's a shame, because present times are uniquely well suited to an ideologically empty Labour party to drag itself to electoral victory - look to New Zealand for precedent.

>>89377
Yeah, but what's the Blairite and Corbynite stances on big fannies?

>>89378
Blairites are big on privates, but Corbynites only care if they're made public.

>>89377

>It's a shame, because present times are uniquely well suited to an ideologically empty Labour party to drag itself to electoral victory

That's the thing though isn't it. For anyone who's even remotely genuine about socialist politics, an "ideologically empty" Labour party may as well not exist, in the most literal sense. It may be electable but what is the purpose of power without any aim or principle?

Puts me in mind of O'Brien in 1984. "Power is not a means, it is an end. The purpose of power, is power."

>>89379
That settles it. I'm with Tonty Blair if it means Diane Abbott's clopper stays out of public hands.
