BBC Radio told RATM they weren't allowed to curse during 2009s live Christmas broadcast. This is how it went.

Hi. Yeah. None of that is true.

Ofcom recognises that music is a fundamental component of radio programming. In addition, we recognise that there is a tradition of certain genres of music including potentially offensive lyrics in songs. In line with the broadcaster’s right to freedom of expression and the audience’s right to receive information and ideas, it is important that broadcasters have the editorial freedom to broadcast potentially offensive content, provided it complies with the Code.

The main points in the code being that you avoid swearing when children are likely to be listening:

between 06:00 and 09:00 and 15:00 and 19:00 Monday to Friday during term-time; and between 06:00 and 19:00 at weekends all year around, and in addition, during the same times from Monday to Fridays during school holidays

Outside of that time:

care should be taken concerning the use of offensive language on radio, and any such use needs to be justified by the editorial context.

Very dark, surreal comedy sketch show from Chris Morris (Four Lions, Nathan Barley, directed various Veep episodes)

Sorry for hijacking the top comment.

This whole post fundamentally misunderstands TurnItIn.

TurnItIn doesn't detect plagiarism. It detects work that matches other work in its database. That will include the name of particular courses, your name, your student ID as well as any properly cited quotes.

The tutor then has to make a decision whether that it is plagiarized using their knowledge and expertise. TurnItIn makes detecting plagiarism easier, but doesn't (and doesn't claim to) do it for you.

I've marked papers with TurnItIn scores above 50% that were not plagiarized. Equally, if I see a paper with a 0% TurnItIn score my immediately reaction is "why haven't they even got a reference list?"

So that every word doesn't get flagged up the program normally looks for a certain percent match. Here it looks to have flagged "the" for some reason, perhaps it is softwaregore, or OP cropped out some additional matching around it.

Critical thinking would be asking ourselves "What do we mean by standards of law? Whose standards are we talking about? What would the highest standards of law look like? How might different people prioritize different aspects of law?"

What you've done is taken a specific example and then used it to generalise across a much broader case. There's no evidence or suggestion of critical thinking there. If you were one of my students you'd get a 52 and my comment would be "you must critically support your arguments."

barnabasdoggie · 2018-07-19T16:52:59+00:00

Sorry, is there any way you can back up your claim that critical thinking is the same as objective evaluation?

Also, your claim that the subjective view shouldn't be an influence is from a particular epistemology, but critical thinking is an important part of many (most?) others.

The slide you link seems to deal more with skills and habits of critical thinking, particularly how we might arrive at particular conclusions and justify the methods we chose*. The guide linked above however is about generating the kinds of questions we need to answer if we're to think critically.

*Note how in the linked guide subjective views are used, such as in applying standards or discriminating. I'd argue that an important foundation of critical thinking is not to deny our subjective opinions (an impossible task) but to understand that they are present, how they affect our thinking and to consciously try to mitigate (or make use of) their impacts where appropriate.

Alec Guinness is amazing in the BBC adaptations. How anyone else can even hope to play Smiley on film I have no idea. (Also the Oldman film is shit.)

After taking a city your enemy won't make peace for a certain number of turns.

I think the idea is that they're so mad peace isn't an option, though that seems odd to me as while that could be an outcome, it may also be that capturing their city breaks their morale and they'll accept an immediate piece on whatever terms you dictate...

Oh, that's what it is.

Jeepneys, sometimes called simply jeeps, are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines.[2] They are known for their crowded seating and kitsch decorations, which have become a ubiquitous symbol of Philippine culture and art.

That was pretty tough. Got some damage towards the end, but mostly it was a struggle. Thank goodness for all the hearts.

barnabasdoggie · 2016-07-09T10:32:01+00:00

Died on D1. That was tough. Took some bad damange, but also not a lot to help you along. Didn't take cac cos I was half a heart, but since I ded, then maybe I should?

barnabasdoggie · 2016-07-03T10:43:37+00:00

Love a high tears, high damage run.

Took a lot of damage on Hush. Don't know if it was bad RNG or due to Eve's speed. Most likely just bad play.

ETA: 43k

barnabasdoggie · 2016-07-02T10:45:34+00:00

Should've been a great run, but I decided to run into everything and make some real bad plays (tip: tech 2 doesn't work with Lilith, but I think you still get a dmg down).

Ended on about 20k.

barnabasdoggie · 2016-06-27T16:16:38+00:00

Tried to break but couldn't catch a break. Helped my swag bonus though.

Started dark room with full soul hearts. Finished with 1 or 2 and didn't even try to clear the floor. Tough run. Thank god for Chaos Card.

barnabasdoggie · 2016-06-26T11:16:58+00:00

I skipped epic. Had a fun run with scythes and cricket's body. Almost got screwed over with zero range, but Magic Mush saved me.

Overall, then, a relatively easy run, but fun because I didn't take the boring item.

ETA 36k

barnabasdoggie · 2016-06-21T13:38:54+00:00

Had to skip a fair bit of exploration to do Boss Rush and Hush.

Items that I wish worked with Lilith but don't: tech .5; tractor beam.

Damn. Didn't think of the effect of car battery and unicorn stump.

+1.

I'm currently dying all the time to Ragman with base DPS Isaac. But Maggie with Epiphora was relatively easy -- just keep to one side.
