I just caught myself going through the Facebook profile of someone who I was acquainted with as a teenlad. I found myself judging them for not "growing up" in the past 15 years, which was based squarely on what he was wearing, his hairstyle and the expressions he was pulling.

He's a local DJ so he's probably having more fun in life than I am and shagged more lasses than I ever will. I don't know why my mind went straight to judging him like this and it makes me feel bad.

In other words, when you get a stiffy, the rest of you shrinks?

>>5262
I thought a stiffy is when blood fills your willy. So a normal state might be 10 litres of blood in the rest of the body and 10 ml in penis. When aroused, it's 1010 ml of blood in your penis and 9 litres in the rest of your body. So it's still the same amount of blood weight, just distributed differently.

There's more to a stiffy than just blood. The muscles become fully engorged.

You do have to factor in that America is generally a more violent society. Which isn't limited to the fact that they've all got guns. The U.S. also leads much of the developed world in physical non-gun violence. But also, you are not going to get through to a ghetto kid in the Bronx who's just robbed a convenience store by playing social worker as a police officer. You'll be up against somebody who has never known anything besides gangbanging and selling drugs for a living. By that point, you're already dealing with decades of neglect by the social system. Which is no excuse for cops risking the death of a suspect, but as a culture, you do get garbage in - garbage out. If your attitude towards violence as a culture is cavalier, then your police will also have that same kind of attitude.

I'm not saying that there aren't council estate hoodlum yoofs in Britain who've never worked an honest day in their lives and whose criminal records fill several pages, despite all the best efforts of the council and social workers. But I think as a society, we spend more resources on taking care of people before they get to that point. There are plenty of taxpayer-funded juvenile crime prevention programmes, while institutions like that generally tend to struggle in America and desperately depend on donations from the public. In the U.S., the answer to youth crime is therefore very frequently juvenile prison or boot camp. Which will only harden teenagers, but not discourage them from becoming career criminals.

If you fix that problem, then you will also see American culture become a good bit less violent.

>>26374
>If your attitude towards violence as a culture is cavalier, then your police will also have that same kind of attitude.
There's "our cops are violent because all of us are violent" and there's "our cops are trained to be and selected for being extra violent, on top of all of us being violent". If you read the article.

>>26374

You know how people point at failed communist countries and say "look, socialism bad,no food"?

America is kind of the anti-thesis of that, so many of their problems basically come down to that laissez faire everyone for themselves approach to society with absolutely barebones social spending.

I found a lot of discounted pasta/sauce today in Tesco actually, I'm guessing demand was high during the lockdown and now they're stuck with too much of it.

Isn't dry pasta among the food items that are supposed to not go bad for five years?

I've also spent the last couple of days painting the inside of my garage, which is my current "shed". Painting walls white is very satisfying indeed. Have put up some nice curtains and added a couple of lights. DIY is cool when you're in the mood for it.

>>437945

Well this is part of a larger project of refurbishing the garage. It's got a flat roof and an inside rainwater pipe, which an architect friend has told me is a feat of engineering if you manage to build it properly so that the roof doesn't start leaking after just a few years. He said that 35 years without leakage was still a very good time frame, but the last two years or so, it began leaking profusely, especially this past winter, and there was a big water stain down the adjacent inside wall of about two square metres. It would have been easy to just paint over the water stain and be done with it, but the whole inside of the garage was in a worn state, not just from scrapes and scuffs on the walls and darkened areas from car exhaust emissions. There was rubbish everywhere and boxes of unspecifiable car parts and accessories, so I took to them with two large bin bags and cleared it all out. Some of it, like a new old stock unused Bosch ignition system for a Volkswagen T3, could be worth selling on eBay for a few quid.

Now that the walls are painted, the next step will be sealing the concrete floor with a polymer coating. Which will add to a nice refurbished appearance. And then it's on to the roof itself. I stripped off all the old weatherproofing down to the bare reinforced concrete, and I will have to rebuild it layer by layer.

100k is a lot more than I would expect (mostly because the BBC says £80k).

I assume a person tech savvy enough to have bitcoins wouldn't fall for that scam, for one thing the internet is so rife with people trying to seperate them from their bitcoins that I would assume that the ones quite this stupid would have been weeded out already. [cue argument that bitcoins were always a scam anyway]

Aren't bitcoin transactions so slow now that unless you already had the bitcoins ready there is no way you could possibly send them in 30mins?

This is a perfect example how this type of scam works really. Even if only one in a million people is thick enough to fall for it, the audience is so vast that's still a good few hundred people, and you only need a grand off each of them.

I think the government should adopt a reverse psychology approach where their messaging is "DO YOUR BIT TO LOWER THE PENSION BILL- LET ALL THE OLD PEOPLE DIE #scroungers #fuckem" and see if people reflexively start wearing masks 24/7 and donating huge amounts to care homes to own the government.

>My girlfriend doesn't believe in preheating the oven.
Are you dating Jez from Peep Show?

Let's say you preheat the oven. It takes 10 minutes to heat up and 20 minutes to cook = the oven is on for 30 minutes.

Let's say you don't preheat the oven. It takes 25 minutes to cook.

That's a saving of 5 minutes, or 16.67%. Big Appliance are laughing at you.

It also means your food is slowly brought up to temperature for the first 10 or so minutes, which at best makes food less crispy/more soggy and at worse increases the risk of food poisoning.

Autonauts. It should be right up my alley, I like Clonk, Terraria, Factorio, Starfall, some of them alone, some only with friends but Autonauts just gets the loop wrong. The map can get resources wrong by placing them far apart, so you may have a different experience, but for me I automated what I could and then had to hunt around for the one resource that would let me move on. By hiding it in the map.

I don't mind hunting for unattainable resources because I lack the XYZ for it,but running around a map to hunt for $basic_resouce so I can get to the next level is more tedious than fun.

I'd just like to say that as someone who spent two years of his miserable life staring at Excel through the lens of IDA Pro it's quite amusing to see a thread full of people who know how to use things like pivot tables to do the things they're actually intended to do rather than to cause an invalid memory access. Carry on.

>>27523

I've done that before for that number, it was really more VBA work than anything, with pure excel people usually know enough to think they are using excel well, but don't know enough to know that their current models are crap, and when people do know enough to know their models are crap they usually fix it themselves, so it is harder market to work in than you would think.

> Sadly they don't work if you work for US company while living outside the US.

I'm double guessing myself there, I think. Technically if you live in the UK and work for a US company then you're self employed in the UK. Although you'd probably have to at least set up a limited company and pay yourself a proper PAYE wage in order to swing this visa, which is all very painful.

>>13471
You wouldn't be working for a US company while living outside the US. You'd be carrying out work for your UK company while temporarily in the US.

>>13473

Technically I'm "paid" by a US based consulting company and I declare taxes in the UK as self-employed. Would that be a good enough excuse to get a "B in lieu of H" visa?

I feel like showing up to the consulate and saying you're self employed in the UK and going to work for a US company for a few weeks unlikely to go over well and that you'd have more luck if you had a proper limited company with PAYE payroll set up.

>>13474
>saying you're self employed in the UK and going to work for a US company for a few weeks unlikely to go over well

It really does not. The only issues I've ever had at the US border was when I was in this situation. It was bona fide too, my company in the UK had employees, accounts, etc; we were doing a couple of weeks work on an installation - temporary - but it's the only time I got stopped at the border and then taken off to an interview room. Terrible and frightening.

>>13475

If you're going over on a visa waiver you should just say you're visiting a client, it's never failed me in maybe a dozen work trips (knock on wood). It's a really stupid grey area where meetings are fine but actually doing work that money is changing hands for requires a work visa.

Or if you're really paranoid just go in via Las Vegas and get a connecting flight the next day. Just try not to max out your entire expense budget on blackjack and the drugs every damn cab driver will oh so subtly hint they can get you.

I was at the theatre and was seated next to the racist one from the last Apprentice series. I told her I thought she was demonised unnecessarily and she was very appreciative. We then went clay pigeon shooting together. It was nice.

I got to see my grandmother who has been gone for a couple years now. It was weirdly vivid, just hanging out in her flat, spending time together. I went to the kitchen for something and suddenly realised "Oh, you're dead" and somehow managed to hold on long enough to give her a big hug and tell her I loved her. Woke up in tears. This has happened twice before over the years with other family who have passed, I'm not sure if it means anything but I'm glad for it, it was sad, but a happy kind of sad.

I dreamt I was Olivia Colman working as a police officer- possibly Hot Fuzz had drifted into my subconscious - and doing a desk job and getting everything hilariously wrong.

Went outside to discover that my car had been clamped with ransomware - the clamp had a screen on it that was telling me to send bitcoin to a wallet "or else". My immediate thought in my dream was this was a great excuse to buy a new car, so I think I have to take that into consideration. I was planning to just defeat the clamp's mechanisms, but I woke up, and now I'm frustrated because it feels like they won.

I had a dream that I was picking up a lass at a bar and she said she was in the mood for a threesome, and if I would mind coming to her place to meet her friend and then have that threesome. I said, yeah, that sounds like fun, so we went to her flat, and she said, "This is my friend!", and it was a male friend who was also her flatmate. So I said, oh wait, no no no, this is not what I agreed to, and she said, "Come on, it'll be fun!". But I just said to her "Next time, be a bit more clear on the details before you expect a guy to fuck you!", and then left.

I avoided playing this game because someone described the storyline as "a punch in the eye for brexiteers" and I hear enough lecturing from both sides already.
Is it actually a heavy handed "right wing = bad, bad = right wing" political allegory, or was that reviewer just projecting their own biases?

>>23956
I'm only a little bit through the game, but as far as I can tell it's simply a dystopian satire heavily inspired by Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World. It doesn't really have any relation to real-world politics beyond that - none of the Randian stuff that was in BioShock. If Brexiteers are seeing themselves mocked in the game it's probably the way it takes the piss out of the 'stiff upper lip'.

>>23953
So I've been experimenting in one of the starting zones, and as a level 1 priest it took six uses of Smite to kill a level 1 trog. As a level 7 priest, it took six uses of Smite to kill a level 7 trog. When I am fighting alongside a player several levels below me, they are doing just as much damage as me (give or take a slight difference due to being a class with less/more damage output). So essentially there's no progression - you're pretty much always the same level of power. The only thing I've not taken into account is gear that boosts your stats (as that isn't readily available at this point), so maybe higher level gear is what actually makes an impact.

>>23955
I loved the setting and atmosphere, but couldnt get on with the game itself.
