Re: Questions you've always wanted answered
Why is it that when the media talk about keeping temperatures to below 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial levels, they never define the baseline or say how far we've gone up already? It makes my blood boil, which suggests it's probably already too late.
This article says we're already 1.2 degrees up. This says:
This article says we're already 1.2 degrees up. This says:
In the decade 2006–2015, warming reached 0.87°C (±0.12°C) relative to 1850–1900, predominantly due to human activity increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Given that global temperature is currently rising by 0.2°C (±0.1°C) per decade, human-induced warming reached 1°C above pre-industrial levels around 2017 and, if this pace of warming continues, would reach 1.5°C around 2040.

(What we consider to be furthest east and west is arbitrary of course as there's no west or east pole and you can just keep going.)
Edit - Alaska only makes the east side because of the Aleutian islands which are away from the mainland.

If whoever decided on the Greenwich Meridian and the International Date Line had had a sense of humour, they would have reversed them. Not only would East Anglia have been further west than Wales, it would also have been a day ahead.

Re: Questions you've always wanted answered
Why are you able to buy flight tickets months in advance but, depending on the airline, you are only able to check in and print boarding passes within 48 hours? I know most people just use their phones now but I prefer to print off the boarding pass and I would like to be able to print the return flights before I go away. And even if I am using my phone I would still prefer to be checked in for the return flight before I go.

Re: Questions you've always wanted answered
I've always thought this was insane. My understanding used to be that checking in was something you do when you get to a place to show you are present and correct. But if you can do it online, why not just make it part of the booking process? Why have these two procedures that you have to do separately?Mark James wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 10:20 am Why are you able to buy flight tickets months in advance but, depending on the airline, you are only able to check in and print boarding passes within 48 hours?

I suppose things might change with the flight from when it's booked to when it actually happens and they might have to put you on a different flight, but once you're within the last couple of days nothing should change, so the flight and your seats are locked in at that point.

Why do we get morning glory, though? If I'm having a naughty thought, that's one thing. But why, if I'm dreaming about snooker or fishing or being criticised for hours on end or Countdown or Matt Morrison or some combination thereof, do I get rock hard in the process?

How did "Banksy" - aka Robin Gunningham - become a thing? The media just decided that he was and started reporting on him. This didn't come from the general public appreciating his work. There was no public consultation about this and no questioning about the quality of his work. I can only imagine that he had a friend that worked for The Guardian or something and it all went from there.

Re: Questions you've always wanted answered
Yes Gev. Now we are talking. A completely fabricated entity designed to appeal to faux anarchists as if it is in someway "sticking it to the man" but is really just another commodity to be sold to the bourgeois. I'd almost equate it to Rage against the Machine but I'd give them more credit though. I get their argument that they needed to generate the biggest audience to spread the message, although it can sound hollow when you realise they are still millionaires but at least they back it up with some decent organising. Me personally I liked the KLF burning the million dollars as performance art and no one getting it as an expression of buying into the system while still critiquing it but at least Rage sound good. Banksy has been completely coopted. The chap who egged John Prescott had more of a political message than Banksy ever had.

Art is so subjective.
I was appalled that KLF set light to an actual million pounds..
If it was a fake million pounds and the money was gifted to a deserving charity then it would have been genius and no vulgar.imho.
I dont have a problem with Banksy he has a good sense of humour at least and doesn't take himself seriously.
(see the last episode of The Outlaws)
Im also impressed he is involved in the court case of those that toppled the statues in Bristol.

It's not that I have a specific problem with Banksy. The problem is that it was just decided by the media that he was going to be famous and revered and people just seemed to passively go along with it.

According to our council recycling policy, we can recycle things like ketchup bottles, jars of honey, shampoo bottles, soap dispensers etc. if they are clean but not if they are soiled.
Is it better for the environment to chuck a soiled container in the general waste or to use a load of water (some hot) cleaning out some of the trickier containers for recycling?

Re: Questions you've always wanted answered
Aye, depends on who's reacting and to what. I like stuff like the vocal coach or composer reaction videos because they're not just giving an opinion but bringing a bit of their expertise to the table and explaining what's going on.Ian Volante wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 7:25 pmI quite like them in the context of musically literate people hearing stuff I love for the first time.

Would highly recommend Rick Beato's "What makes this song great" series on YouTube too. He often gets access to the individual instrument tracks which he can isolate so he goes real in depth as to how the songs are created.
Also Jason Parker is a magician who reacts to other magicians, usually to acts on Penn & Teller fool us, so you're getting another opinion on how the tricks may be done. It's usually they only place you get to see the more recent acts too. It did get a bit meta once when one of the magicians made a reaction video to his reaction video but then they ended up getting in touch and had a good interview together.

It's standard practise for Airlines to overbook, which you probably know already.

If you haven't learnt these advanced techniques though, you would obviously do it sitting down. It would be weird just to wipe your arse standing up.

Why is it just assumed by the media that Jackie Weaver was in the right and why has she become some sort of "hero"?

As someone who has spent many hours arguing the intricacies of governance, she was wrong. That's not to say her colleagues didn't behave appallingly, but she indeed did not "have the authority".Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 10:09 pm Why is it just assumed by the media that Jackie Weaver was in the right and why has she become some sort of "hero"?

Re: Questions you've always wanted answered
How are you supposed to respond to those posts from Wordle players that just have a series of coloured squares? Is there supposed to be a way to use those to guess the word or play along yourself?

I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.
