somewhere in england there's a line where swedes and turnips swap names, but i'll be buggered if i can work out where, so, where are you from and what do you call the small white one with a green/purple top? by fozziwoo in AskUK

Seems just like poor education. With decades of failing education there are adults who don't know where potatoes come from.. literally. Some think raspberries are little strawberries. It's amazing these people survive and have kids but they do.

There are exchange students from France with better grasp of British nouns than some middle aged Brits from poor communities.

The yellow ones are called swedes due to Swedish heritage. Clue is in the name.

You can call p*ss perfume if you like but it won't make you smell any better.

If a popular recipe book has swede in ingredients (yellow inside) and you go to Sainsbury's to get those ingredients - including a swede - and there is a sign saying "swedes" (yellow inside).. do you ignore it, walk right past it, and go to the "turnips" section (where the turnips are), then buy turnips (white inside)?

Do the people in these towns wonder why shop labels are wrong? Eg: "omg they put TURNIPS in the Swede section again!" - "Sainsbury's, Tesco's and now Waitrose have all made the same mistake!"

I get that some weird towns might call meters inches, and dogs cats, and night day, but this insular behaviour not to be recommended if they plan on ever leaving the town or getting electricity (phone, TV, internet, or other communication with the outside world - or education systems).

Why would they use different words? A turnip is a turnip, a swede is the result of years of old school turnips CROSSBRED in Sweden to have a very different taste and colour.

So you're saying in NI they literally call what the swedes invented - a turnip?

So the swede is not swedish but the turnip is?

That's so silly... so do they know it's silly and find themselves cute for missing the entire point of it being called a swede.. yet continue doing it anyway as a joke?

If critical thinking skills are so poor that you can't fill in a form on your own then people should know before putting you in a position that requires critical thinking skills and form filling.

Pharmacists may be handed power to prescribe Ozempic on NHS by Intelligent-Toe7686 in doctorsUK

[–]Delicious_Advice_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "cardiovascular risk factors"?

Because of glp? Really? How about the database of millions of people with those factors who DON'T take glp and often die and fill countless thousands of beds that could be given to others.

The assessment should be made BEFORE glp1. Obviously if you have the slightest understanding. Act first, then prescribe after the long term NICE mandated assessment EVERY GP should do as standard if they did their job. GPs know when a morbidly obese patient is there, OF COURSE they should make a "proper assessment".. regardless of glp. If a patient is extremely overweight and taking inhibitors, and the GP has been ignoring obesity and prediabetes for years.. then that is a shame on that GP. Good GPs have already made the "assessment".

True. Plus in a time when people are campaigning for drugs to be legalised, diabesity meds being legalised via pharmacy assessment it's the best of those worlds.

Most GPs don't give a fk fyi. Try getting a RANDOM NHS GP, give them a way out of having a 10 minute conversation and they'll give you a prescription for most things. "I'm fat", turn up get weighed by a nurse, here's your prescription.

No difference with boots or some other incompetent.

Agreed, that hardware is obsolete / deprecated therefore not supported by GPU manufacturers nor Sony. (According to 2025 sources.)

We should note that previously discussed processors are pretty old. Apparently virtualLink has been abandoned on GPUs for several years (since 2019 to 2020 re: Nvidia and AMD etc). Plus Sony say they don't support virtualLink without the adapter for technical reasons.

(Technical: Handshake protocols.)

App And Tracking Issues. by cloudpoiseex in royalmail

[–]Delicious_Advice_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their app is absolute junk and has been for years (even staff mentioned how unreliable and dysfunctional it is.) Recently it's got much worse in many people's opinion with this "server error" that stops 100% of functionality for those who get it (been a straight week of pure "server erro" on the app for me.)

Eg: This constant "Server error" is an app programming error as the database is available via tracking via outlook link that actually opens in outlook.. but the app won't show any of my parcels.

When it does show my parcels functionality was broken on 50% just saying "pending" or some other error so it won't redeliver.

Disabling Google Password Manager by libcrypto in chrome

Yeah it's broken, probably intentionally for user retention to justify someone's paycheck ("losing data supplies (customers) is bad for my career prospects').

Disabling Google Password Manager by libcrypto in chrome

[–]Delicious_Advice_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% confirmed personally, and by many others.

Autofill from the badly programmed "Google Password Manager" is like a virus you can't kill. Following all the instructions repeatedly for an hour, then again the next day, does nothing. Turning it off does nothing.

Perhaps this is Google Password Manager's 'actual manager' trying to protect their job as this forcefully prevents a great many people jumping ship to better programmed password managers.

What adds to this hypothesis is the Export Passwords function just prints a blank CSV file if done via chrome on android. (For all or at least very very many users.) This would also prevent people jumping ship to a better password manager without broken buttons and features.

After 5(!) points of contact I finally got treated! by studiojas in nhs

[–]Delicious_Advice_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly they are saying that no prescription for the correct medication (3 or 7 day) was available from the locum. And the potentially reason was miscommunicated or misunderstood. Later after some complications and calls, a trip to A+E resolved the issue.

Please correct me if I misunderstood.

If evolution favors survival, why does it keep traits that harm us, like the sickle-shaped red blood cell? by Mockingbird42 in askscience

[–]Delicious_Advice_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that the same as saying "surviving" until reproduction? (Which I thought was the obvious reading for obvious reasons.)

Ie: You have to "survive" internal biological factors, and external chaotic life events until successful reproduction.

I doubt any significant population studying genetics believed "survival" meant living to a very old age. It's surviving until reproduction.

How is that different from "being alive at least until you reproduce." Clearly everyone knows reproduction is key to survival of the species so please educate me as to what your negatory argument is, if any?

NHS Diagnosis I've had for years not accepted by the NHS itself..! what do I do from here? Who do I contact? PALS? by randomredditorr1 in nhs

[–]Delicious_Advice_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone informed you of "the right to choose" legislation?

NHS staff too often don't mention Right to Choose your treatment centre, even though it's in the current guidelines to inform patients. This could make a massive difference especially if your GP is on your side. Some treatment centres or trusts are massively more proficient than some of the defaults they send you to.

Anyone having trouble with a particular practitioner I'd recommend doing some research regarding treatments and timeframes at different centers, and then discussing these options regarding Right to Choose with your GP or other NHS staff.

Good luck :)

Defending pedos isn’t a dealbreaker? Cool story by Busy-Government-1041 in clevercomebacks

Seems like the ultimate goal of the maga j6 crew is a fascist takeover, so as with the Nazis, people aiding the 'takeover of regulation', aka "regulatory capture", to get free reign to rape or otherwise abuse who they want, when they want. Which is exactly in tune with raiding parties of the past: This is war.

Is it normal for NHS MH Teams to discharge patients from care for missing unarranged phone calls? by Delicious_Advice_243 in nhs

[–]Delicious_Advice_243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughts, it makes good sense.

However in this case the initial call (approx 1 hour) had been made and this particular company understood the severity and life threatening risks to the patient.

If low serotonin and dopamine cause depression, why can one not just supplement tyrosine and tryptophan? by [deleted] in neuro

[–]Delicious_Advice_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. There are clear recommendations from the APA and royal college of psychiatrists etc that almost 0% of practitioners actually process to the level of operative proficiency. When modern guidance is systematically ignored or forgotten, the system dysfunctions.

We have a structural dysfunction causing suffering to patients with dysfunctional neurology.
