I have a vague recollection of a 90s post-pub TV programme that featured a caged gimp who would occasionally be released to run amok in the studio audience. Did I hallucinate this?

>>19679
Possibly, but Channel 4 would definitely have done something similar in the past. Gosh, I miss good Channel 4.

Couple face having home repossessed after disagreement with neighbour over HEDGE

"What we want you to do is crudely outline the disputed area in Paint, moderately making it look like a cock."

>>19686
Even in Paint there's a better way to do that. That looks like the fence is doing a corkscrew.

>>19669
Yeah, hopefully we can get Adolf Hitler instead.

I used to look forward to the next recession. The last two big economic paradigm shifts were greatly influenced by downturns, and despite the fact the messiah who would lead us to the promised land something better did not appear on doomsday 2008 I've got to hold out hope he'll appear next time. Even as I know it's cargo-cult political economy, I stick to it on some level.
Increasingly I'm going to believe that even if we do replace the consensus of the last 40 years, it won't be better. Just different and probably sillier. But what else is there to do? If you give up hope of something better, really give up hope, you've had it.

How do I skip this shit bit and get back on in the post-scarcity era?

I think the devs made this cutscene unskippable.

Trying to work out if $500 would get me a nicer kit of parts elsewhere, though, or if NXP are subsidising it a bit.
I've got a couple of toy ones, fancy something a bit bigger and more stable to dick about with.

That's designed for semi-autonomous or fully-autonomous use; if you just want to fly by remote control, there are cheaper and better options. Maybe something like a Diatone M540 and an FrSky Q X7 would suit.

>>19662 Nah, it's the autonomy I want. I like building 'bots, and fancy something that flies. Although I ought to stop dicking about and build an apple-clearing-up bot before the season really starts. I hate picking up apples...

I have one of these for my drones, they're excellent value, and very fixable/customisable.

Never heard of libgen, lad?

>>19655
Yeah? I've heard of shoplifting as well, but I still pay a supermarket.

>>19653
I had previously unquestioningly assumed that people with bookcases like the one pictured had vast or at least better than average general knowledge, but I've since learnt some of them have the kind of knowledge gaps you'd expect from a council estate kid who stopped attending school at 13. Maybe that's what happens if you engross yourself in fiction.

>>19656
I wasn't aware that supermarkets lent you food and reserved the right to come into your home and take it away from you for any reason.

>>19657
A lot of people have bookcases for aesthetic purposes. I'd wager that I haven't read even half of what are on mine, but that's because I buy them faster than I can read them.

One of the key points of an embassy is that people can tell the candid truth about what the government there is like. The problem here isn't that he said anything wrong, he didn't he told the truth as he sees it, which is the whole point of his job. The problem is that Trump is the kind of petty fuck who wouldn't allow him to do his job properly after this.

>>19642
But the problem isn't just Trump, the problem is the servile Tories who were making exclaimations in the glory of Trump. This could have been an unfortunate incident, but instead it has become a tragedy. One that announces to the world that the UK is this easily bullied and browbeaten, and for doing nothing more than telling the truth, a truth evident to anyone who's looked at a headline or two in past three years.

I never hated the Tories before this year, I never liked them much either but there we have it. However, they have made every attempt available to them in 2019 to undermine, shame and hobble the United Kingdom, and not for any misguided ideological reasons, but out of sheer arrogance and self-interest. If I read a headline that every single one of their MPs had collapsed dead in parliament I don't think I'd even bother reading the article, I'd just knod in acknowledgement and move on.

>>19643
>One that announces to the world that the UK is this easily bullied and browbeaten
Thank goodness we don't have to stand alone and have the collective power of 27 other countries to back is up, right lads?

Er, lads?

>>19641

Goodnight, Sweet Prince.

>>19617
Huh, this tallies with my personal experience. Rich Indians I've met living in north London are well-spoken, while laplanderstanis I've met, well, everywhere have broken English.

>>19616

Although >>19617 is a good post they have left out several key events as motivators.

1) The largest migration of black immigrants to the country was from the "Windrush generation" which is where we purposely incentivized for manual laborer to come over from the Caribbean.

2)A large number of Indian Migrants were linked to the British Raj in some way so bureaucrats, various people related to the state. And those who had some level of existing integration with the British rulling class.

3)A large number of Chinese immigrants came over when Mao started culling the intelligentsia and bureaucracy.

>>19631
We also had another wave of Chinese immigration around the handover of Hong Kong. Again it was mainly the liberal intelligentsia who saw the writing on the wall. The reason the elite classes in Hong Kong are now pro-Beijing is that they've effectively been hollowed out, which in turn has made it easier for the CPC to rig the system. The legislature is like the Lords and Commons rolled into one, with a mixture of elected and appointed members. The pro-Beijing faction has never won an electoral mandate, and has instead been able to maintain a majority by manipulating the numbers and packing the benches with appointees.

I'm not surprised. £2.50 I paid last night for prawn crackers.

>>19631
I feel the need to add to your points that Bangladeshi and laplanderstani immigrants also tended to migrate towards the industrial centres of Britain. The result is they were hit especially hard by de-industrialisation and the effect continues as ethnic groups tend toward lumping together.

Obviously the solution is to breakup ethnic enclaves and probably let in more Asians as they're an okay sort.

>>19640

We do need to have a word about this.

Your average generic curry house/shit kebabs/shit pizza takeaway offers free delivery over £10. All the Chinese takeaways round here want £3 for delivery no matter what. And that's after they're done charging you £6-7 per dish for a generic stir fry in various different sauces.

They're robbing fucking bastards.

Webdolt here.
Can Amazon tell that I frequent a shed fanciers' forum if I follow that link?
I'm assuming yes, but that it'll just be yet another confirmation rather than a surprise to them.
I have no shame on this front, just wondering about the hygiene of following links from other places.

>>19587

I'll wait for someone more clever to answer your question, but even if they didn't find out from that link, they'll know from some other information they've bought.

>>19587

By default, your browser will tell Amazon which site you came from.

>>19560
>What moment? The moment you're stuck on a crowded Tube carriage with some wanker acting weird? If ever there's a moment to stare at your phone, it's then.

As was pointed out on the place I took this from, 'they said after taking a picture with an iPhoneX they bought with the money his mum had to work a second job to earn'

>>19569

That is wonderfully charming. That would totally make my day.

Imagine getting bummed to death.

>>19571

I seem to remember Barrymore implying the bumming might have been post-mortem by a pathologist but my grandma happened to be friends with the mother of that pathologist and he reckons he didn't do any bum-raping.

>>19573
POTY.

I assume his Russian handlers didn't approve.

So what would be the impact if he went through with it? Please answer as though I'm an ignorant fool. I'm sensing there's that undercurrent where WW3 would be just around the corner if he did but I'm not sure why.

Seems to me Iran are just behind North Korea as global scapegoat baddies who don't have any friends to stand behind them. The Yanks only ever pick on countries that can't stand up for themselves.

I wonder what made them think twice.

Whole thing reeks of a trial balloon. They've decided on having a war, they will have a war. The only ones I can see backing the US doing this would be KSA and Israel so it would be pretty clear who the bad guys were at least.

>>19562
>I wonder what made them think twice

The Donald said it's because he was told the strikes would kill ~150 people, which he felt was disproportionate for downing a drone.

>>19563
Typical Yanks, claiming to go after a "state sponsor of terror" while courting KSA without a hint of irony.

>>19531
Hilarious. Actually hilarious.

It's already been delayed twice. It's stuck in some weird slow-motion race of unworkable policies, glaring at Brexit like a match sprinter on the upper banking.

Absolute fucking waste of time and money to begin with. So yeah I guess also like Brexit.

>>19497

Well normally you don't hear about it because of cold and hot redundancy. "Hot" redundancy means that several power stations run parallel and one can take most of the power load of the other if it shuts down without most people noticing. "Cold" redundancy means that other power stations or reactors can be switched onto the grid momentarily if there is a fault or failure at another point of the grid. So ideally, there is never really a power outage as such, or at least you don't notice it during the few milliseconds that your light bulb at home doesn't have power.

Safety shutdowns are a different problem. Parts of the grid can shut down if a catastrophic fault in one element of the grid is detected that makes it necessary that other parts of it shut down as well to prevent damage. It's one angle of attack to shut down an entire power grid that way. Or alternatively, you can take control of all power stations and shut them down in a controlled fashion. The latter should be a bit more difficult though, because there's naturally a difference between hacking one power station and hacking all of them.

>>19498

Is there anything promising going on in the British nuclear industry at the moment?

>>19499

Not really, no. There are a couple of half-interesting research projects, but development of new power plants is stalled because of Brexit - the whole nuclear sector is fucked if we drop out of Euratom.

>>19500
But that's not going to happen because we're going to get a great deal because we're going to make the European Commission give us one, even though their negotiation team has been officially disbanded, and the Commission will be dissolved until November so there'll be nobody to negotiate with, but we're British so we can do this and anyone that says we can't is an unpatriotic traitor who's just talking the country down.

>>19501

>>19464

Maybe you will get unlucky too, punk.

I'm unlucky, but I don't want to abuse children so I don't think this'll happen to me.

>>19465

>Well I hope there aren't that many people who actually pimp out their children to paedos for real.


We all assume this, and then it turns out that there was an entire villiage somewhere that they use children's arses for barter exchange, and it seems incredible that that was happening.

Looks like everybody has been bonking everybody anyhow.

Kind of sounds like the rural Kentucky of the Pacific.
