apparently between 2011 and 2015 the disability body (DWP) declared 90 people a month fit for work
who then died shortly after
gentle moss
yup, there are also calls for an investigation
that's old news, but the situation hasn't changed
languid kelp
there are disability employment agencies around here that just take money from the government and give no support to clients at all
its been in the news, i've seen it first hand as well
gentle moss
well we don't have agencies like that
we just have the government body
which farmed out it's fit for work assessments to private contractor ATOS
to save money, except it hasn't saved money
and more people are dying
sand goblet
In the US, disability benefits are basically impossible to get on your own
gentle moss
i know they hate their people more than we do
sand goblet
There's so much paperwork and it has to be filled out exactly correctly
languid kelp
🤔
sand goblet
So there are disability lawyers that will handle it all for you
But they take a cut of the benefit in exchange
sand goblet
It's shitty, but not as shitty as what comes next
If you're getting a disability benefit, you cannot work
Because
You are only allowed to have a certain amount of value
Which is stuff you own and money in the bank
languid kelp
there was a government agency that contacted me regarding my experience with DES
sand goblet
The number is insanely low, it's like 1000 dollars or something
languid kelp
i was too stressed out to deal with it
but like, i just dont know why these things are overlooked
sand goblet
If you go over that in your bank account the government just takes the money lol
But for assets or if you go too far over they take the disability away
sand goblet
If you have a job then, well I guess it isn't so bad, but since you now are not paying the disability lawyer, you can get blacklisted

By having someone that looks after the money/assets

well no, because the minimum wage is higher than that
i mean yes to what you said but no
languid kelp
it didn't say. it was actually for a disability-related company. as in the role involves helping people with disability do their IT things, or something
sand goblet
You'd think that would be higher paid
languid kelp
it must be a 2 day week or something
sand goblet
But part time work, hard to say
It would be around 16/hour with my hours
Which is 6 hours 3 days a week
languid kelp
the minimum wage is probably higher than 16 as well
sand goblet
I doubt that
languid kelp
The current National Minimum Wage is $18.93 per hour, or $719.20 per 38-hour week (before tax).
If you employ casual workers, they are covered by this national minimum wage, but they also must receive at least 25% casual loading

@vague shuttle as someone who lives fairly close to the swedish border, I can tell you that alcohol is significantly cheaper on your side of the border.
norwegians frequently go over to buy some.
some things are nearly half price

tame terrace
yep, maybe.

or maybe not

Isn't there an additional fee on alcohol in norway that makes it so expensive compared to 90% of the world?

we use taxation to make stuff like cigarettes and alcohol prohibitively expensive

it's not clean, obvs, but it doesn't produce as many particulates

wood stoves are very polluting, though
I'm not sure how to compare it with smoking, but that's a weird comparison

wood smoke doesn't bother my asthma as much tbh

residential wood burning is a key source of fine particulate matter
there's been plenty of research into that and there are some studies being conducted now in The Netherlands because more people started doing it

I agree it can't be great for the environment in the long term
which is true of burning almost anything

fine particulate matter is a more direct cause of concern, because it's very unhealthy

when people start burning it as a means to warm their house in a residential area
they should be using the things gdude was talking about

we have this nice pile of cut wood out back and nothing to use it on
tame terrace
I guess it's different since you use gas for cooking inside as well.
I also have a gas bbq and I'm very happy with how the food comes out.
I used to have a coal-fired kind and it was a huge pain in my ass
not at all worth it
much less precise, much more maintenance
sand goblet
yeah, it's a great BBQ
I just can't smoke
I'd have preferred a big green egg
maybe someday.
tame terrace
build a smoker or something
get an oil drum and just set up a fire pit to put it in
sand goblet
where the heck am I gonna get an oil drum
sand goblet
I doubt I could even fit that in our cars
tame terrace
(that was a joke)
tame terrace
man my new car is so big
I got it like a week ago, and I was a bit sceptical at first
but I'm a big fan of it now.
sand goblet
Mom is replacing her car next month I think
with this big volvo SUV
"car of the year 2019"
tame terrace
sounds expensive
gentle moss
is it as tidy as you thought lemon?
tame terrace
any new cars are expensive in my book.
sand goblet
her current car is about a year old so they're taking that back and that'll cover a lot of it
plus we don't have to pay tax because of my sister's disability
tame terrace
I bought mine with cash. it'll last me for years.
it's in great shape, @gentle moss
sand goblet
mom has her eye on my TV as well..
gentle moss
got nice toys in it?
tame terrace
already drove it like 1000km without a hitch.
sand goblet
mom's logic though goddamn
tame terrace
cruise control, keyless ignition, electric seat adjusters, folding mirrors,
oh and get this
it has 7 seats
sand goblet
I bought a TV a few years back when I was studying java, so I could WiiU - and then I gave it to my parents for my sister after, since I was moving back in and there was a TV downstairs
gentle moss
ooooh
sand goblet
in the new house it was too far and always in use so my dad bought me a TV
tame terrace
they fold down into the chassis itself sort of
gentle moss
boot seats!
tame terrace
yes
sand goblet
and it's better than mom's current TV so now she wants to swap them
gentle moss
haven't seen that in ages
my mum's volvo 740 estate had them
i loved sitting in them as a kid
tame terrace
that's illegal, @sand goblet, get a lawyer and delete your moms facebook
sand goblet
hahaha
see the thing is
I mostly use it for games
but since mom was watching me play hitman on the PS4 downstairs,it's currently in her living room
I can't move it back upstairs because she keeps telling me she wants to watch me play more hitman
but then she says I'm not using the TV I have so she should have it
sand goblet
I personally just want my PS4 back lol
gentle moss
haha
sand goblet
then I can use the damn TV again
tame terrace
@gentle moss I folded both the boot seats and the back seats down the other day to transport some trash to the dump, and it turns into a god damn van-sized boot. it's so big you could move an entire apartment worth of stuff in a couple trips. I put like 15+ bigass black bags of yard trimmings, an entire apple tree, and still had space for tons of cardboard.
with my old car (which was still pretty big as a minivan) I think I would've had to take three or four trips
sand goblet
that is a lot
tame terrace
I emptied my entire shed into it. must've been 3-4 cubic metres of trash.
wow, inappropriate
gentle moss
¬_¬
gentle moss
:D
viscid quarry
a cardis ?
tame terrace
ahahaha
gentle moss
imagine all the equipment you could fit in there
no more choices
just all the equipment
gentle moss
fucking hell
sand goblet
I wonder how they measure that
gentle moss
you really could fit a double mattress in that
sand goblet
do they literally fill it with water?
tame terrace
let's see, 1600 cartons of milk.
sand goblet
haha
fill up the car with 1600 cartons of milk and it'll merge into one giant carton of milk
like one of those shitty mobile games
gentle moss
you could say it's a carton of milk
sand goblet
:P
tame terrace
I WAS GONNA MAKE THAT
gentle moss
:D
sand goblet
xD
gentle moss
i would've done it sooner but i ate an entire camembert and now i feel funny
tame terrace
fine, you can have it
sand goblet
that happens to me too when I entirely a cheese
gentle moss
it was entirely a whole cheese
and half a large bread
i am unaware what i was considering
sand goblet
I hope you at least toasted it
sand goblet
the cheese too
gentle moss
yes
you kind of have to
but the rind burst and it leaked out the wooden box a bit into my oven
sand goblet
don't try me
gentle moss
i regret nothing apart from maybe eating all the camembert
gotta make the most of these things before they become black market currency
i just looked at the nutritional label and was like "oh that's not so bad"
and then realised it's per 100g
250g packet
gentle moss
why?
viscid quarry
camembert is great
vague shuttle
Because ew, and also "Its salt levels are high (1.5g or more per 100g)"
(tried to find something bad about, this is all I found)
gentle moss
i mean you could've gone with that i just ate 60g of fat or whatever
your reason for not eating it is that it's unhealthy?
that's pretty damn weak.
vague shuttle
Is it tho? Is it?
gentle moss
yes.
vague shuttle
No
gentle moss
errrr.... yes.
sand goblet
yep
sand goblet
that'd be a good reason
gentle moss
except it's not true
gentle moss
first i apparently can't enjoy my spicy food because it's too painful and i'm not really tasting it
now i can't eat stupidly large amounts of cheese because it's unhealthy
life under Galnegative is really dull
vague shuttle
Well I never said u couldnt, do whatever u like
gentle moss
you literally said "Don't eat camembert. period."
¯_(ツ)_/¯
they're your words dude
tame terrace
you can't enjoy spicy food?
gentle moss
yeah apparently i can't taste the hot food i eat because it's too painful and therefore devoid of flavour
vague shuttle
ah yes those was my words. My bad, I wasnt serious from the start tho, I thought was made a bit obvious from my "It's unhealthy because of 1.5g of salt".
gentle moss
it's actually 2.2g of salt
sand goblet
l0l
OK bisk, here's one for you
let's see if you can figure this out
Windows PC here in the shop
tame terrace
I don't have a good moral reason why you shouldn't eat an entire cheese, I just don't think you should do it because it sounds gross and you're gross and the whole situation is gross.
sand goblet
hardwired to router
vague shuttle
Maybe in ur cheese but, the salt amount differs
sand goblet
roughly every 10-15 minutes, the connection will drop (as if the cable was unplugged), and then re-establish a few seconds later
gentle moss
oh yeah i know it's not the greatest thing to do but i was just craving the cheese and it was there. so i ate it.
tame terrace
haha. fair enough
tame terrace
I ate an entire gräddost once.
vague shuttle
Now that sounds delicious
sand goblet
I ate a deep fried mars bar with ice-cream once
tame terrace
jesus
sand goblet
xD
gentle moss
sometimes you've just gotta tell your body
sand goblet
ngl it was pretty good
vague shuttle
I have several times mixed, sugar coco and egg and eaten it raw
gentle moss
"hey, asshole. fuck you."
sand goblet
It wouldn't have anything to do with BITS, would it?
tame terrace
the only deep fried stuff I enjoy are from the east. spring rolls and samosas, baby, all day.
gentle moss
shouldn't be gdude
sand goblet
I keep seeing it get switched between autostart and demand start
tame terrace
god damn samosas are so good.
gentle moss
hmmm
tame terrace
me too, I love folding them.
vague shuttle
@sand goblet Is it consistent 10-15min?
vague shuttle
Have u tried a different cable?
sand goblet
note that it's not the router, it's done this on 3 different routers and cables
across 2 premises
vague shuttle
Have u updated drivers and everything related?
vague shuttle
Have u tried a different network card?
I mean if it acts like the cable is unplugged its telling me the problem is most likely on layer 1 or 2
sand goblet
I can't replace the card
vague shuttle
can u insert a new one then?
sand goblet
heck I doubt I could even get it out of the desk
vague shuttle
oh is it locked?
Im thinking the network card is broken but if it where it wouldnt be on a 10-15min interval the issue would occur. It would be much more often.
sand goblet
It's not locked, more surrounded
lol
I can't get it out without causing an avalaunche
vague shuttle
What types of routers are they and do the have the exact same configuration?
vague shuttle
ah so a basic one
sand goblet
yeah fairly basic
vague shuttle
have u tried just for the sake of trying reseting it to factory settings?
sand goblet
Yes
trust me, I know how much like schizophrenic little kids these things are
is that even how you spell that?
the world may never know
tame terrace
yes, it's kids
sand goblet
hahaha
languid kelp
i think there's supposed to be a t in there
sand goblet
okay
vague shuttle
lol
tame terrace
with one d
sand goblet
as opposed to kis?
languid kelp
nvm: schizophrenia
sand goblet
oh shit, I got it right
man I'm on a roll
antidisestablishmentarialism
antidisestablishmentarianism
languid kelp
yeah i don't know how that's related!
early 20th century: modern Latin, from Greek skhizein ‘to split’ + phrēn ‘mind’.
languid kelp
going off this etymology... aren't we all slightly schizophrenic 😄
tame terrace
gdude only has one big hemisphere.
sand goblet
actually I did do some experiments years ago but.. eh whatever
vague shuttle
Talking to urself and schizophrenia is not the same thing 😃
languid kelp
is gdude a robot?
sand goblet
lol, no
languid kelp
i never mentioned talking to oneself
vague shuttle
gdude My mother had me tested
sand goblet
that's not what I said
vague shuttle
I know i was referring to the big bang theory, maybe u dont watch that
sand goblet
I don't watch TV, let alone popular shows
vague shuttle
Well Sheldon says it a lot
tame terrace
I watch a ton of TV shows, but I wouldn't watch big bang theory with a gun to my head.
vague shuttle
Well thank god everyone is not the same, it would be a boring world.
vague shuttle
Only thing that bugs me with that show is the amount of fake laughter in the background, for everything
sand goblet
seriously though I did do some brain experimentation a while back
vague shuttle
What kind?
vague shuttle
Why? The test itself or the results?
vague shuttle
lol
sand goblet
It was for the best that I dissipate her in the end, but it was quite the thing
languid kelp
Subagents are a pretty common metaphor for many of the internal conflicting desires in a person.
vague shuttle
Tulpa? U mean like a revelation(?)
sand goblet
Ah, a tulpa is a concept that is kind of stolen from old-style buddhism
it's basically like developing a second personality in your head to act as a kind of companion
like a level up from imaginary friends I guess
urban garden
hello!
sand goblet
Hey there
urban garden
i am new here!
sand goblet
Hi new here, I'm gdude
vague shuttle
That sounds nice, and a bit lonely honestly
sand goblet
Reeeal tricky
You need to have the right intentions going in, and it takes a lot of work
languid kelp
hello @urban garden , please verify your identity by posting your github
urban garden
whyy
urban garden
i dont have github
vague shuttle
It sounds quite hippiesh aswell tho
languid kelp
😄
sand goblet
well, it's a tricky one because it's actually quite hard to talk about in some ways
and there are some dangers
proper dune
@sand goblet please verify your identity by giving me your credit card details including the numbers on the back
sand goblet
the basic form of it is just keeping it in your head, just working on developing this personality that eventually acts on its own
one of the most typical ways of doing it is through meditation
urban garden
what are you talking about @sand goblet
vague shuttle
So basically train yourself to be schizo
sand goblet
an experiment I did a while back with the help of the tulpa community
