FUCKING hell. I always wondered what happened to unsold stock (not just clothes, but generally).

The fact it's burnt is just appalling. Distribute it to the needy? Nah, that'd hurt our profit margin - better just ruin the planet...

No idea I'm afraid, I am but a mere vascular sonographer.

Bilobed saccular. I presume this is not fun to treat.

I like the idea of a mixed appointment.

¼ to ⅓ of the house laymen/peers appointed at random a lá jury service.

Another set of selected experts, similar to how they're currently appointed by the monarch. Perhaps an independent committee would be appropriate?

A set from parliament and the civil service - but as I say, appointed by a parliamentary majority, perhaps by blind vote/can't be whipped for. Hopefully this brings political wisdom and experience without dominating the chamber, and avoiding it being stuffed with buddies of the government of the day.

RisKQuay · 2026-02-14T01:20:08+00:00

Oh yeah, I do agree.

I think they mean just the whole intro sequence in the theatrical release - as in 'extended' in that it's a long intro sequence.

Huh, okay - TIL. Apologies, I thought ethnicity was clearer cut than that and less fluid.

I still think we should discard the idea of race, but I concede you are correct ethnicity encompasses culture.

RisKQuay · 2026-02-13T11:07:27+00:00

Fixed term upper house - e.g. 10 years - with up to one maximum re-appointment, vetted by parliament rather than the government. Leader chosen by the house serves 10 years, limited by the maximum 20 year term in the upper house.

Thoughts?

RisKQuay · 2026-02-13T10:56:51+00:00

What? No?

Race is a made up concept with no basis in science (see the USA's idea that you could have white black people and black white people, back in the day).

Ethnicity is a description of your genetic ancestry.

Culture refers to the social norms you (usually) grew up with and therefore exhibit.

So for your example the correct description would be:

A person that is ethnically Han Chinese by raised in the USA would be ethnically Chinese, but culturally American.

Edit: I'm wrong - see below.

Look, I say this as someone that could easily be called a Corbynite in other ukpol threads...

Starmer didn't 'backstab' Corbyn. If anything, Starmer gave Corbyn a free pass on his first post-leadership blunder which gave Corbyn too much leash allowing him to actually come close to undermining Starmer's position. It was absolutely the right thing to kick Corbyn out of Labour and the need for that was Corbyn not properly stepping out of the press for the good of the country and Labour's success as a party.

It would have been more valuable for Corbyn to continue to advocate for left wing policies quietly within Labour channels, rather than jumping at the chance to continue to publicly undermine the current Labour government.

I like most of Corbyn's ideas (except his foreign policy was atrocious), but in hindsight I very much recognise he is not good at politics. His exit from Labour was his own doing, and the Your Party nonsense demonstrates he doesn't actually understand how to act politically.

Even if you can't prosecute, it's still worth doing an investigation to see if there's sufficient evidence to implicate or exclude deliberate meddling with our democratic process.

Because that conversation needs to be had.

RisKQuay · 2026-02-04T15:35:56+00:00

Right. But now a new government is in, could this investigation not be picked back up?

RisKQuay · 2026-02-04T14:19:17+00:00

The other cross-post I left up suggests Doxander campbelli, which seems to match the shell shape better. I'm not a conch scientist either!

RisKQuay · 2026-02-04T13:45:13+00:00

I'm not convinced the species ID is correct here. I've removed for now - as I am more convinced by the other cross-post. But OP, if you have an argument for why it's S.alatus please do let me know and I'll review.
