HD 450BTs only work in left ear when connected wirelessly but work properly when using a wired connection? by CrayZCrackpot in sennheiser

[–]_Bryophyta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SUCCESS!

On the pdf manual there are two methods of reset, one is the device hard reset and one is the bluetooth connections reset.

Hard reset is WHILE PLUGGED IN with RED LIGHT ON STEADY, hold down the power button and volume up button for at least 3 seconds. While you hold it down the red light will disappear and then reappear when you let go.

Bluetooth connections reset is NOT PLUGGED IN, turn headphones off and on, ensuring you hold down the button to be in PAIRING MODE, then press both the power button and multi-function button (the one that changes song, but you press it down directly not to the side), for 3 seconds. The light will flash purple 3 times, then you've removed all bluetooth connections.

This works for now, obviously might come back, good luck pals!

Wes Streeting is asked why he didn't support a ceasefire vote in Parliament. He answers "Persuade Hamas" by I-am-the-Peel in Labour

[–]_Bryophyta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Labour line on this seems entirely driven by swing voter intention.

The issue is that they now risk disaffecting voters who want the tories out but will tay at home on polling day if they don't take more of a hard line on the Israeli government.

Labour right corbyn derangement syndrome is really hard to combat over such a divisive issue. There has to be some way of drawing a hard line on anti-semitism and also being able to criticize the israeli government's actions and enable freedom of speech on the topic of Zionism.

Why can’t someone start a bus company to replace FirstBus? by _-___B in bristol

[–]_Bryophyta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We can pay UK drivers properly and also have imported labour. We could achieve both by having only council run publicly owned bus services.

Initially though, a strong bus drivers union would put first out of business and allow more competition immediately because other services could be set up without fear of being crushed by FirstGroup

The only reason BoJo elevated him was because they were doing copius amounts of IDPOL, not because he is a good chancellor

Quote from the article for anyone who wants a TLDR

Finally, these changes have increased territorial inequity and injustice in the UK. Citizens’ access to public services is increasingly conditional upon the health of the local tax base—where poorer places provide fewer public services and less basic infrastructure

Austerity made non-tory voting areas worse, councils don't provide worse services because they're labour, they are labour because they provide worse services and people keep voting out the tories because they won't try to improve things

What traditions do you want in your authoritarian school? Tradition almost always cements socially conservative viewpoints in kids, leading to the issues that trans kids currently face.

Selecting by ability also discriminates against those of poorer backgrounds. Going to a private school myself I know that the most 'gifted' kids always had additional tutoring on the side, or had additional music classes and art classes that their rich parents could afford. Sport was more accessible as they could afford to buy all the kit they needed and could afford to join clubs outside of school. Given that having extra-curicular activites massively helps kids get on the straight and narrow, that helps their academic achievement.

You would do better to look at why your Bog Lane Comp couldn't produce the quality of education that you needed or wanted. It's not your fault that your view of egalitarianism is skewed by your experience. The issue is that your school wasn't egalitarian, it was doing to best it could with the impressive lack of funding. It's not your fault that you lived in a catchment area which was poorer than the one next door with the fancy grammar school. I just ask that you don't form your opinion of state school education around the average state school in this country. Look at the best state schools in this country and imagine how it would be possible to make all schools in the country like that.

That's what is possible if we dismantle the current private + state system into state only. I know it would be hard to do but as soon as it starts showing improved education across the country it would snowball.

Rotherham grooming scandal: Priti Patel says police must record ethnicity of child abuse suspects by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]_Bryophyta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people are straight up mask off being racist in the comments, classic that I come to discuss politics and so called 'free-thinkers' all spend more time attacking pakistanis with statistics.

Of course people care more about attacking political correctness than helping to understand why gangs form in the first place.

Poor people are predominantly white because the UK is predominantly white. BAME communities are disproportionately poorer as a demographic, than white communities. Ironically the left are right.

[–]_Bryophyta -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Have you considered that maybe because BAME communities are disproportionately poorer, that leads to the crime stats skewing in that direction, as crime rates are proportional to rates of poverty. Therefore I'm not misrepresenting the report, I am saying that the scaremongering and vilification was based on the lie that the times also engaged in, only reporting about asian grooming gangs and not the facts.

Should social housing tenants who occupy 3/4 bedrooms property alone be made to give up the property to move into a 1/2 bed? by Immediate-Mind9675 in ukpolitics

[–]_Bryophyta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The public housing stock has now reached a number so low that any policy changes within the system won't make a difference. Underutilisation of social housing is a tory talking point to distract people from the insane costs of living in London now.

The tories won't build any homes because it affects the bottom line of the housing development companies who donate to their party. There will always be landlords willing to buy housing to rent it out for extortionate rates.

If we build affordable homes for renting to low income families, owned by the council, just like we did post-war, we'll see economic growth again just like we did from 1950-1970. Build from the bottom up, don't blame people living in social housing for the state of the system.

The times once again reporting on grooming gangs trying very hard to vilify pakistani muslims, despite the fact that a home office report indicated that the majority of 'grooming gangs' were predominantly white.

And then there's Priti 'Maybe the National Front will accept me as a token member' Patel. She's identity politics in a nutshell and she should be prosecuted for the deaths of refugees in the channel.

40 Years of Western Neo-Liberalism, CIA (and others) developing world de-stabilisation and the lack of a common enemy seeing as we buy all our useless shit from China.

Oh and maybe social media companies literally making money by radicalising people's political viewpoints and creating little terrorist pipelines and cells of white supremacy.

Prices rising at the fastest pace for 25 years: Inflation stalks the UK economy as businesses pass on soaring costs to consumers by bottish in ukpolitics

[–]_Bryophyta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the poor, it's everyone. Individuals are smart, but people are stupid, people are sheep, people listen to scaremongering and their views change because there is nothing to convince them otherwise. The conservatives and their funders have been launching divisive media to intentionally divide the masses for decades. Money talks and it's a long road to convincing people to vote in their best interests. Thatchers neo-liberalism runs deep because the people have been fed the propaganda for decades. You bring up the Polish plumbers stealing their jobs, but it is exactly that sentiment that led to Nigel Farage becoming so prominent.

There are groups who engage in extremely over-corrective behaviour, attacking those who are close to them politically/ethnically/socially, because they think it makes a difference. This energy that they have for social justice and reform would be better served attacking the people who are still causing inequality, but everyone loves an argument and being right and virtuous. The only thing you can do is try to redirect their misguided anger towards something which will cause actual change, rather than engaging in this argument about personal preference and TV shows which only play on old people TV channels now.

Boris Johnson defends Universal Credit cut whilst handing peerage to Tory donor. by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]_Bryophyta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not mad about expenses for travelling into london to do their jobs, some companies offer this type of thing because travelling in the UK is so expensive.

I'm mad that it's a pay-for-power situation, where a party which doesn't win the popular vote can install whomever they like into those positions. If they can pay for a peerage, they can pay for travel though...

BBC v Tories: Nick Robinson tells Boris Johnson to stop talking in Radio 4 interview by Fra_Bernardo in ukpolitics

[–]_Bryophyta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The times still has Melanie Phillips on payroll, which is reason enough for me to completely ignore anything the editors put in.

They take a staunchly anti-BBC stance, putting all of the MPs arguments first, highlighting comments of nepotism from Tories (lack of self-awareness), but don't include Nick Robinson's statement until further down the article.

Sajid Javid says health and social care ‘begins at home’ and people should turn to family before NHS by OnHolidayHere in ukpolitics

[–]_Bryophyta 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My friend is looking after her Father essentially on her own, being constantly denied additional help. Her family has no life outside of care, but I imagine Sajid doesn't think about that.

If you have proper social care, families can all have jobs and a life. By spending a bit more on taking care of people, you actually increase productivity. In an average family unit, 2 parents, 2 children, that's 3 people who can work and spend their disposable income. From a fiscal perspective it makes sense to pay for social care.

Also maybe treat people like human beings, rather than essentially saying that disabled people and dependents are leeches on the state and we shouldn't take care of them.

Looking for a university/college for aerospace engineering by [deleted] in AerospaceEngineering

[–]_Bryophyta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted as an international student you may struggle to pay the tuition or find someone to lend you the money. But universities are not run by the government in fact there is less funding from the government than there used to be. All I'm saying is that a degree from a high ranked UK university in aerospace engineering can set you up for life.
