Found this, kind of interesting. Gives me the thought that it would be a better idea for welfare to be a free apartment and food stamps rather than a paycheck.

[Wolfshade]

While commendable, it requires enough vacant housing stock to enact.

Sensible idea, but as Wolfy says you need the houses. Which if those reports about construction pre-GFC were accurate you would have? All that talk of vast empty suburbs and stuff and a housing surplus. We have a significant housing shortage on the other hand so it's not really a practical solution here sadly but kudos to the Utahrans.

[Wolfshade]

Hopefully, my neighbours house will be vacant by the end of the week :D

[Psychosplodge]

Seriously? that's some good news for you then hopefully :D

[Mr Mystery]

[Wolfshade]

Yup, figers crossed for a forced eviction :X

[Psychosplodge]

Video camera for youtube? I mean in case it all kicks off?

[Wolfshade]

Good job my gopro is attached to my helmet...

Actually, I doubt it will happen to be honest. It sounds really mean saying that I wish it does but they made my life hell over the last 15 months.

[Psychosplodge]

Considering that no ones going to begrudge you that :D

[Wolfshade]

Have you seen my Legendary Dragonbone Warhammer of Fiery Soul Capturing? *Thwock*

This is easy.

Use sampling software, and recordings of *shudder* Big Brother. And a massive speaker.

Then play them back their very own eviction voiceover.

Being mindless mouthbreathers, I'm 99% sure this will work.

Use software and recordings to create their own eviction

[Mr Mystery]

I needed a quick reality check today.

You see, Canary Wharf (where I work) has always reminded me of Delta City. Especially when I get the glass elevator up to my office floor.

And as I walked back to my coach stop on my way home, I saw the video billboard showing an advert for the new Robocop film.....

[Wolfshade]

I have literally just seen that advert on TV

[DarkLink]

Just stumbled across this, thought I'd post it since we were talking about this a pages ago: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HFKX24Y/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00HFKX24Y&linkCode=as2&tag=bengree-20%22



One of the first lessons you learn as a raw vegan is how to convince yourself that symptoms of malnourishment are actually good things.... To the uninformed, it might seem alarming that I shivered uncontrollably in 70-degree weather-but as the self-appointed raw-food gurus explained, it really just meant I was detoxing. My rapid loss of muscle mass was necessary for purging old, toxin-contaminated cells. Ditto for the fistfuls of hair I was shedding in the shower. And best of all, my inability to focus on anything in front of me was helpful for staying centered in the present moment, thus expediting my path to enlightenment.... It all changed that ill-fated November when I found myself walk-ing through the doors of my dentist's office. A full year of raw veganism had come to a wrap. I was seventeen: thinner, paler, clum-sier, and less capable of forming a coherent sentence than I'd been at any other point in my existence. San Francisco couldn't hold a candle to all the fog in my brain.

[Psychosplodge]

Look at this (http://my-very-own-odyssey.tumblr.com/post/74022593204/johnlockinthetardiswithdestiel-izzetheking) dogs surprised look

[Wolfshade]

I have this argument with a creationist acquaintance of mine.
She believes that all Christians should be vegans.
When I ask her where it says it in the bible, she waves her hand toward Genesis 1:29, which for her is quite concise.
I then point towards Noah, where God says if you can see it you can eat it essentially, and again in Pauls vision of the meat buffet (may not be the theologocial name for it ;) )
So she then counters that with the line "well all of that happened after the fall" (expulsion from eden).
So then I then point out, that the entirity of the front of our mouths are designed to rip and tear flesh. Now this she cannot cope with, because we were either designed to eat meat, or we evolved, now neither of these solutions are acceptable as she cannot accept evolution and cannot accept that we were designed to eat meat. At this point she shouts loudly, I sigh and wonder why I bothered having this conversation yet again.

I am sure that there are suitable counters to it, but she is not very erudite.

[eldargal]

The Fall came about because of an apple, so surely Christians should be saying '**** those fructose laden womb balls' and scoffing steak instead?

[Wolfshade]

The Fall came about because of an apple, so surely Christians should be saying '**** those fructose laden womb balls' and scoffing steak instead?

No, it was you women.

All of you. All that ever been or ever will.

Bad wimmins. Dirty wimmins. Be gone from our sight and that :p

[eldargal]

You're implying I'm of Eve when I'm clearly of Lilith.:p

[Mr Mystery]

Pffrrt. That makes you worse.

That makes you a Strumpet.

Somehow. I dunno. I haven't thought it through, because by the gift of testes, I am automatically correct because some old dusty book said I was.

So....yeah. You can just shoosh and that!

[Wolfshade]

You're implying I'm of Eve when I'm clearly of Lilith.:p

So we can dismiss you out of hand for being of obsucre rabbinical myth and not cannon!

So coronation street, kills off the only transgendered character..

[Psychosplodge]

Coronation street?
Anyway...

Yes it should!

Except grandstanding it in a Prince Adam way is kind of inviting a comedy 'shot to the pills' from your enemy, thus bypassing the power of the testes with the irresistible force of really sore pods.

[Mr Mystery]

And in other news, I've just been here (http://www.cinemasnacks.co.uk/) and ordered a box of these bad boys!

[Psychosplodge]

A box of what?

[Mr Mystery]

Bah!

A box of Brannigan's Roast Beef and Mustard crisps. The rightful King of Crisps, I'm sure all will agree.

[Psychosplodge]

There is only one flavour of crisp worth discussing, and that's salt and vinegar

Oh yes. I recall. I enjoy that game. My tactic is to hide and snipe. Best shot ever two girls hiding behind a wall in a corner, I reached over the top with the gun shot them, then walked round to see their confused looks.

[Psychosplodge]

Took a years membership at one point which basically got you a card that tracked your stats.
Was in the top ten :D the two people I went with most weeks were both in the top twenty. They only printed the top hundred off...
The ex said we were taking it too seriously...

[Wolfshade]

"What is best...."

[Mr Mystery]

Man I miss that.

Had both Quasar and Laserquest in my local area.

Sadly, Quasar hired a junkie to be their manager, who would let his mates in to play for free, so they could shoot up and enjoy the pretty colours. Oh, and attempt to mug all the other players. That shutdown.

Town I now live in had Laserquest. Laserquest suffered after Quasar shut down on account parents couldn't differentiate between the two.

:( I do miss zapping me mates.

[Wildeybeast]

Our laser quest is still going as far as I know. You guys should really all move to derby, it has everything you need.

[Psychosplodge]

I don't know if the one I went to is still there, but I think they opened another next to the arena. Not been though...
Aye Bols weekend of debauchery, gaming, beer meat, and now laserquest :D

[Kirsten]

Town I now live in had Laserquest. Laserquest suffered after Quasar shut down on account parents couldn't differentiate between the two.

what is the difference?

[Mr Mystery]

Quasar gives you a period where you can be hit, but not fire, and thus sucks.

Laserquest is just betterer.

resurfacing on my facebook feed today, the story about a famous violinist who played for 45 minutes in a metro station in new york, and nobody stopped to listen. it is cited as an example of the fact that people rush about too much and don't stop to appreciate beauty.

yeah, or maybe people just have **** to do and places to be. if someone is in a train station, you know what? they are probably going somewhere and don't have time to stand around. oh, sorry I am 45 minutes late for my shift, but a famous guy was busking in the station. absolute load of pretentious twaddle that proves nothing except for the fact that the person posting it fails at life.

“This is a ghost gun. This right here has the ability with a .30-caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second. Thirty magazine clip in half a second.”

I've underlined the stuff that the senator said that is either inaccurate, makes no sense, or both.

[Wolfshade]

I would be complaining about the star's writters/editors:

Seriously, just use the word from and it reads so much better.

of copying from Lea and Perrins'...

The use of "off of" irks me.

[Psychosplodge]

I'm not sure they have any proper journalists left anymore, considering everything is about two days out of date.

[Wolfshade]

Woman car driver is trying to over take me, and doing a piss poor job of it to be honest, only going marginally faster than I was, so she is alongside for a little while, the road has good visibility, then a car coming in the opposite direction beeps their horn at her as she is too far over, so she dives back into the lane and how she missed hitting me I don't know.

I will look to see if my camera got the whole affair tonight.

But thankfully my lesbian transgender mep (who was kicked out of UKIP for being too strange) thinks that by compulsory registration I would be safer...

So, my "weekend", by which I mean Monday and Tuesday, I got my hair lopped off and bought a Legend of Zelda 3DS XL and Pokemon Y; because I could.
If y'all have a friend code you want me to add, drop it in a PM plis.
I have a rather extensive list of Pokemans I aim to get, so scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. :D
Should be here by the weekend or shortly after.

No, I'd be safer from damage by your type.

One of the MEP's for the West Midlands is Nikki Sinclair, neither her sexual orientation nor her status of transgenderness actually has anything to do with the point, so why I included it I don't know, I think I might need to reconsider that post. She want on a rant about cyclists needing registration and to display a registration number so as to be accountable for their behaviour, but it was truely weird and very ill informed. I suppose raelly I was expecting that someone who is from a minority group would be more aware of the concerns associated with another minority group

[Wolfshade]

Thank you Christianity :D
(from wikipodia)

Following the Christianisation of the Roman Empire in late antiquity, vegetarianism practically disappeared from Europe as it was in other Continents, except India. Several orders of monks in medieval Europe restricted or banned the consumption of meat for ascetic reasons, but none of them eschewed fish. (The medieval definition of "fish" included such animals as seals, porpoises, dolphins, barnacle geese, puffins, and beavers.)

It re-emerged during the Renaissance, becoming more widespread in the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1847, the first Vegetarian Society was founded in the United Kingdom; Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries followed

[eldargal]

One reason I'm fond of Worcestershire sauce is that it is possibly a legacy of Roman garum, which was fermeted fish sauce. Not rotting fish as idiotic popular culture would have us believe.

Depends what you want from it really, also, you can quite easily get a Charizard with Charizardite X

[Mr Mystery]

And the human race continues to disappoint me.

Gran is not a well woman. She's been slowly dying for longer than I care to remember, but in typical Scottish matriarch style, refuses to give up. Amazing woman.

Grandad is suffering from senile dementia.

Result. Neither of them are capable of looking after the house.

Solution. Mumsie hires a cleaner to keep things shiny.

Cleaner has just been sacked for stealing money, booze and food........FOOD from my grandparents...

http://www.opposingviews.com/i/religion/rep-christy-perry-defends-faith-healing-after-four-children-die-about-where-they-go#

The psychological affect of being given a "cure" is quite phenomenal, one only needs to look at the placebo effect to see how effective it can be. Now certainly, I do not think it should be used exclusively, or in preference to cures with a proven efficacy, but perhaps it does have it's place.

If you are to ban "faith healing" do you also ban herbal remedies and alternate medicine?

[DarkLink]

It's not like real doctors don't go to college for most of a decade in order to learn when you need fancy drugs and surgery versus when all you need is a placebo or anything.

[Wolfshade]

It's ok most "doctors" don't have doctorates...

[Kirsten]

If you are to ban "faith healing" do you also ban herbal remedies and alternate medicine?

if it leads to four kids dying who could have easily lived? damn right I do. those parents are guilty of murder.

[Wolfshade]

if it leads to four kids dying who could have easily lived? damn right I do. those parents are guilty of murder.

The issue is the parents, not the "faith healing". If the parents haven't told children of road safety and they are run over by a car, do you ban all cars?

[Kirsten]

cars do not get special protection because of religion. faith healing is demonstrably nonsense, it does not work. medical treatment does work, it has research and figures that tell you what works and what doesn't. If you refuse to treat your child with something proven to work, and decide to wish upon a star instead, then you should be prosecuted. Faith healing is just a religious scapegoat term, 'you can't prosecute me, I am not neglectful, it is just my religion'. I bet parents would be up in arms if somebody said 'I didn't take my child to hospital because the voices told me not to' or because they were using jedi mind powers instead, but christianity is supposedly legitimate and therefore protected. If an adult wants to avoid treatment and ask the faeries that is their problem, and they are better off out of the gene pool, but when you force it on kids, and kill kids as a result, then that is not ok.

[Chris*ta]

Faith healing really doesn't compare to alternative medicine.

Many forms of alternative medicine have been proven to work scientifically (many have been disproven too, but ...).

Faith healing has been thoroughly disproven.

Very few people will choose to have alternative medicine and not have regular medicine alongside.

I'm not aware of any case where a parent chose to use alternative medicine on a child and refused regular medical treatment.

Also, the vast majority of practitioners of alternative medicine will tell you to get regular medical treatment alongside (or instead of) alternative treatment if the situation is, y'know, life-threatening.

By definition, alternative medicine is not backed by science. Otherwise, it would just be, y'know, medicine. Because that's how science and modern medicine works.

No cars get special protection because of privilege, but we won't get into that. The issue isn't faith healing, it is the inappropriate use, or its exclusive use. Which is the fault of the parents. If I overdosed my children with enough vitamin A that their skin peeled off, that isn't a fault with vitamin A or should force it to be banned, it is with my fault.

You know what would have ben worse? The console with nothing to play on it.

[Wolfshade]

So then what's your complaint with regulating faith healing?

I have no issue. The difficulty is what is "faith healing". Essentially, it is prayer, maybe including "laying on of hands" none of which is inherently dangerous. The church catholic continually offers prayers for its members who are ill, how would you even attempt to regulate this? In the established church, the service of laying on hands is regulated, purely being a function that clergy can perform, though that does not stop the laity perfoming similiar acts. None of which is inherently dangerous.
The issue is that the parent's were irresponsible, now that could be as a result of their belief, but that should no way detract from the responsibility that the parents have.
One needs to just look at the measel epidemic in south Wales last year more than 1,200 people fell ill, 88 visited hospital and one person died in the outbreak which began in November 2012. Now the reason for this was that parents were opting out of giving their children a MMR vaccine, I don't recall seeing one parent claim that the MMR jab was refused because of religious objections (though I may be wrong, and even if there were some they would end up with herd protection anyway), instead it was a purely secular decision with immunisation rates dropping form 94% down to 68%. So why don't we try and find some scapegoat for this instead? Afterall it can't be the parent's fault!

this is ridiculous, and possibly the stupidest censor I have ever seen

Newspaper puts black squares over pig faces in its' article about american farming so as not to offend muslims.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-25884523

[Wolfshade]

WTF?!

Also those piggies look cute. I thought the issue they had was eating them, not observing them.

[Psychosplodge]

So it's only the face that's offensive? Does that mean bacon is ok?

[Wolfshade]

Back bacon so you don't need to look at the face while porking, ahem I mean eating pork

Small craft advisory

[Cap'nSmurfs]

A lot of alternative therapies have indeed been shown to work. The problem is that a lot of them don't work any better than a placebo, ie. nothing at all (or, at least, just the experience of "going through a treatment" with no active ingredient).

The test for whether something "works" medically isn't whether it does anything at all or nothing, but whether it's better than placebo.

Amusingly, a significant amount of Real Medicine isn't better or much better than placebo for some people either.

So Hi BOLS chums.

I haven't been around for the last couple of weeks as I have been involved in 'Operation keep energon employed!'

This has been the busiest and hardest 2 weeks of my working life. I actually thought I was gonna be fired, which they can do straight away cause I'm freelance.

But it should be a bit quieter for a little while so I'm back on BOLS :)

Please tell me what the main points of discussion have been and what I've missed. I can't be bothered to dredge the boards :)

[Psychosplodge]

Welcome back.
Main points of contention appear to be tyranids may or may not suck.
It may just be butt hurt.
The feminism thread is its usual self.
Americans are still causing even their countymen to go WTF in how they treat each other.
And we still don't really know whats coming.

[Wolfshade]

New Nids suck (apparently)
WD weekly
FW are now blogging
GW financials are worse than expected, but still profit making, shares lost 25% of value, world plus dog says sky is falling.
Of, and the weather is apparently a result of same sex marriage, so says a random ukip person.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Mostly arguments, petty petty arguments.

Welcome back though, let's get some good hobby posted. :)

[Wolfshade]

Oh and most excitingly of all, I've replaced my car!

[Mr Mystery]

And we've all tried kicking it.

[energongoodie]

Thanks for the update :)

New car = awesome! What did you get? I am in the market for one myself. Finally sold mine the other day after trying all last summer and failing. Then, put it on autotrader 2 weeks before christmas and it was gone in a day! Brill.
Fw blogging = brill! about time I guess. I shall look forward to the posts.
Nids sucking. We'll see I guess. How much of it is whining cause it's balanced and how much is whining cause it's bobbins?
Feminism and Americans I shall leave well alone. I love woman and Americans and American woman :)

The financials hurt a bit. I have a bit in GW shares. Well, I had a bit now it's not as much. I'm betting their gonna bounce though.

Hobby wise I intend to paint some more Iron Hands or even a Nomad Wildcat from Infinity this weekend!!! First weekend I haven't worked in a while :)

It's good to be back :)

[Mr Mystery]

Balanced rather than bobbins. No auto-win button included.

[Wildeybeast]

Man, why do you guys always have religion debates when I'm not around? By the time I get on, all the good points have already been made.

I don't think the book is that bad, although releasing fairly expensive dataslates a handful of days after the codex is blah. I dunno if I want to drop $60 bucks on a hardcover book, another $60 on a supplement plus another $30 for dataslates each time an army is updated.

So this (http://rpg-posters.tumblr.com/post/74795529863/lucille-i-step-on-the-gas-and-flick-on-the-camera) tumblr posts fake rpg happenings under a demotivational style poster.
It makes me lol :D



Lucille: I step on the gas and flick on the camera shielding >:)

Frank: I slap the cuffs on the guy and link them to the pre-installed bolts so he’s spread eagle by the back door of the van.

*******: *rolls* I got a 32 on my Computer Use check and I’m rerouting all of the incoming police to other parts of the city and temporarily listing this van as a Class 1 government vehicle so we won’t be stopped for any reason.

Me: I begin to torture him.

*20 minutes of distressingly in depth analysis on how I am a ruthlessly psychotic RP player and what not, followed by high fives*

Me:…. so I get a 73 total for my Intimidate roll. If he wants to be recognizably human by the time we drop him off at his daughters pre-school, he’d better sing out now.

GM: *hands ******* a note* He continues to protest his innocence.

Me: What the ****, normally I’m all up for a challenge, but this is just insane!

*******: Scruffy, lay off the … well, the everything and cut him loose. We have a larger problem.

Me: Yeah?

*******: We grabbed the wrong guy.

Lucille: Uh-Oh o_o

Frank: Who the **** is that then, if not the under-boss to the Sire?

GM: He’s a CEO of a local PMC.

Me: Oh, sweet.

All: wut

Me: Cool, change of plans. Frank, pass me the cultist robes and ritual knife; ****it, give me every non-essential clue we’ve found so far.

GM: No.. no no no no

Me: So, I hop out of the van (after you stop it Lucille), find the nearest camera, shout the catchphrase of the Cult of the Sire, slit his throat and then ram the knife into his heart. I drop the keycard and ID badge and jump back into the van.

Lucille: Free reinforcements, yee-haw ^_^!

GM: Suddenly, I understand emo culture much better.

Mostly no, though there are sometimes so peculiar word orders, which while strictly speaking is correct (or rather not incorrect) but is not how the language is used.

[Wolfshade]

There was a bar nearby that used to be called it, it is now "Booze Bank" 24hr supermarket with Halal meat...

[Mr Mystery]

That's a bit of a derp right there.

Though if there's one thing what irks me, is people objecting to Halal, but not kicking up a fuss over Kosher....

[Wolfshade]

I know, I can't get halala pork anywhere!

But no, I have an objection to both.

If we are going to slaughter animals for food then we should do so as quickly as possible.

[Mr Mystery]

Yup.

Slitting it's throat may not be the most inhumane manner of killing a beasty, but there's no need for it when there are more efficient, instantaneous methods available.

Oddly, Halal and Kosher both came from hygiene practices and respect for the animal (as in, if you want to take the leg, kill it first, doofus). They've just haven't moved with the times.

And that's something veggies don't seem to get. Yes. I do know how this animal died. And I'm actually ok with that, as I buy from my local butcher, ensuring I can trace my meatymeatydindins back to a local farm, and get organic when I can afford it.

[Psychosplodge]

That's a bit of a derp right there.

I'd assume it's because halal is in your face and kosher isn't?

This^

[Mr Mystery]

I'd assume it's because halal is in your face and kosher isn't?



This^

I think it's mostly because the media deems kicking islam to be ok, but kicking judaism somewhat less ok if you ask me.

Seems most people aren't even aware the practices are pretty much identical.

[Psychosplodge]

No I meant there's roads you'll go down and every other takeway has Halal in the signage. I've literally never noticed a kosher takeaway.

[Wolfshade]

Yes, I think it is more common to see halal meats than kosher. Kosher seems to be restricted to specific jewish butchers.
I think also we have commonly "indian" takeaway, often not run by indians (who are predominately Sikh or Hindu) but by others from the subcontient so we see it more commonly.
I have never seen a jewish takeaway, or jewish food in a mainstream supermarket.

[Mr Mystery]

Indeed.

MP urges namby pamby approach to the sharing of naughty snaps without permission (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25917314).

I don't get this drive to avoid criminalising children. If you're sharing nuddy photos of someone without their permission, and that person is under 16....you're sharing child prawn (work filter, apologies) and should be charged accordingly. Like Canada did.

Will only take a few cases to really get it through their thick skulls that 1. It's not on 2. You can and will be traced as the source 3. Prison isn't very nice, so best not do it in the first place yes?

[Wolfshade]

The permission distinction does not exist. It is kiddy prawns, technically, and the age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is 10 years old. So, they should be banged up for life, with the peados that they are.

Infact, the CPS will almost certainly decide that it is not in the public's interest to persue the case.

[Mr Mystery]

Really need to get it out there that it is a crime though.

What a stupid suggestion. Quite aside from the horrible nanny state vision of banning kids from owning phones, does she honestly imagine it will stop the problem. Like they don't have friends with phones, or computers with web cams in their rooms or tablets with in built cameras. They going to ban all those as well. Do we even do that to terrorists?

Mystery, I have to disagree. Criminalising them won't get the point across. Do you think that stops them with thinks like alcohol or tobacco or drugs? The only way you get the message across is through education. Don't share the pictures and don't take them in the first place.

Why do these things always say 'fell'? He didn't fall. No one falls of the top of sky scraper filled with banking offices. They jump. On purpose. I wish the news wouldn't sugar coat these things

[Mr Mystery]

Where details are not known, fell is a suitably neutral, and factual term.

He may have jumped, it may have been an accident. Nobody knows for now!

Neither of those things are criminal. It's illegal to sell to underage people, but your possessing them underage isn't going to get you a criminal record.
At most you'd get a fixed penalty for some other offence like public consumption in a banned area, or public order or something.
If you start putting all these people on the sex offenders register you risk people not taking it seriously anymore, look at points for speeding, now its camera enforced who bats an eyelid if you have 3 or 6 points?

[Wolfshade]

Yeah. I understand that you know on clear days it is quite easy to avoid potholes and the like, but in the dark and rain it is sometimes very hard to avoid them, either by bike or by car. Surely the local gov has a duty of care to maintain these to a degree that is fit for public use. In the same way they would clear up broken glass in a children's playground, and not expect the kids to just avoid it.

Yup.

But, they have 3 months from when a pothole is first reported to get them fixed. And it's a hell of a job proving exactly when that specific pothole was first logged.

so the song 30000 pounds of bananas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGldNpngDws

I did some calculations, and

30000 pounds is 49656 US Dollars

Per Commodity Prices, a Metric ton of Bananas are 911.60 US dollars (http://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=bananas Circa June)

so that means 49656 Dollars equals 54.47 (rounded) Metric Tons Of Bananas!

What all these calculations tell me... Mr. Chapin was either a banana addict, or was stockpiling! :D

PS 54.47 metric tons equals 120085lb 12.863oz

Trained my kitties to poop in the lavatory. Trying to train them to flush but it's not taking. One of m friends kitties flushes though. I would like a Norwegian Forest Cat one day:

Is that a shark? Cos I'm pretty sure they are supposed to live in water.

That's a Land Shark. They only have them in Australia.

Given the mental stuff they have out there, that's almost believable.
