My best friend organizes events for One and watching her facial expressions as she found out about Fyre Festival is a joy I'll hold dear for all my days.
It's really fucking incredible how bad a job they did.
I don't understand how they didn't see this coming. Like, they got millions in funding and immediately started spending it on themselves without being remotely interested in what anything would cost or what was likely to happen if they didn't deliver. Its amazing.
a few hours after the actual festival began, those same Fyre Starters who scammed all of their followers into buying tickets, quickly started deleting their promotional posts (that were never labeled as promotional). The few people who didn’t remove them, or seemingly forgot, were inundated with messages from fans telling them to delete the posts.
On a good day, where Britain thought hard about what it was trying to secure and how to secure it, there's a chance it could come out of that fight pretty well. The problem is not really size. The problem is that the British government is drunk.
It has been out of its mind on high-strength, cut-price nationalism for nearly a year now. It can barely make it through the morning without guzzling it down and spends the evenings sinking a couple of bottles before bedtime. It has turned into a real problem. Its friends need to sit it down and have a serious chat with it. It needs to ask itself why it emotionally feels the need to deal with problems in this way, what it could do to wean itself off it. But anyone who did try to sit it down and talk about its problem was treated as a Judas, failing to show it due loyalty.
Now the fight is happening and Britain has no leverage.
is your cakes drying out a common problem in your life? Well not anymore, because the optimal way to carve a slice and leave the cake has been engineered

The BritPol thread is pretty depressing right now. But I can't accuse anyone in there of Doomsaying.

I distinctly remember the words "the EU needs the UK more than the UK needs the EU" from before the referendum
when it happened I thought, well, at least I get to enjoy the brits eating those words one grueling syllable at a time
because it is nice when something very stupid is said that will get unquestionably disproven
another favourite was May going "vote for us because that'll give us more leverage in the negotiations" and brussels immediately answering "no it won't, we really could not give less of a shit, who sits in your parliament is entirely irrelevant for us"

You can also solve this by eating the entire cake
Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
Russia's not participating in the Eurovision Song Contest, after Ukraine denied entry permits for the russian contestant (because by entering Crimea without going through Ukraine is breaking Ukrainian law)
The ESC offered them to either switch to someone else, or to participate via satellite feed, but Russia wasn't keen on either of those, since it wasn't an accident that she in particular got chosen. That's not even "oh I bet every russian election no matter how inconseqeuential is not on the up and up" thing, the relevant russian TV channel just picks their candidate.
The ESC is, obviously, annoyed with Ukraine and with confrontational politics sneaking into the song contest, which is the diametric opposite of the entire idea behind it.
Which I can agree with somewhat, but then again, this has been the only reason I have cared at all about this year's Eurovision

I don't understand. How does a cake dry out in an hour? Is this for if you run out of milk?

Visa interview day is off to an inauspicious start. Got on the wrong train (which arrived at the stated time and going to the same destination as my train...) and the conductor got the most impressive hard on at the prospect of giving me a penalty fare. When I explained that the fare is more than double the amount of available cash in my bank account and thus I cannot pay, he said transport police will be waiting for me in London. Whooo
At least I'll be getting there 10 minutes earlier huh? :tell_me_more:

This spare iphone's battery is even worse than my broken one was. It shuts down completely at 37%...
If I replace the battery should it work like normal right away? Or is there some sort of breaking-in period where I have to cycle it a few times? Because I leave tonight and would really like a working phone.

This really is the best analogy for what is going on.
And yet, the UK seems to refuse to notice.
Say what you want about Trump, at least America seems to have responded in horror at what happened.

not a good time to do iphone surgery then
even battery calibration will take the whole day
I'd pop down to the street and consider a second-hand device. or even a new one, since your phone(s) are borked anyway

I am going to assume there was some kind of health scare and that's where the "he dead" rumours came from.

Norn Iron has no methods of doing this online, whilst the rest of the UK does. This is a dumb.
