@Jo I can certainly see you yelling "YOU HAVE U-ED YOUR LAST WU" while taking the angle grinder to stuff

in a cabinet meeting, Theresa May raised concerns about the frequency and scale of leaks from Cabinet

The reason we know she raised these concerns already is that, you guessed it, someone in Cabinet leaked it

@colon_three @maple 🦔

As a brit seeing all the talk of "pi day" I can only assume that in the US pi = 14.03

@maple ah, right

I was thinking maybe it was a script that was called and you could modify that to throw its PID into a logfile so you see if it was executing more than once but that wouldn't have solved it

Linux: it's easy!*

*so long as you don't touch anything or go anywhere near it

@maple is it two concurrent executions of the same command you're thinking it might be or two different commands?

also do you know what the command(s) would be?

@maple *offers snugs*

@maple I've never actually been brave enough to test it

@leadore best option is for the UK to just revoke article 50 but that's not going to happen

so, next best option is an extension to article 50 during which there's a second referendum, the people say no to brexit, and article 50 is revoked but that needs parliament to vote for first the extension and then for a second referendum

@leadore What the UK can't do is unilaterally extend the Article 50 period, so as it stands the options are to crash out with no deal on the 29th (which the UK parliament have made very clear they don't want), agree to the deal negotiated by the PM (ditto), ask the EU for an extension of the process in order to do... something (which doesn't solve anything in itself), or unilaterally revoke Article 50 and stay in the EU (which nobody has the balls to do without a second referendum)

@leadore the ECJ have ruled that Article 50 can be unilaterally revoked so it is possible for the UK to say "nope, that was a fucking stupid idea" and stay as if nothing had happened

should basic shit like that have been decided before activating article 50 two years ago?

yes.

it fucking should have been.

if you're wondering what actually will happen then the answer is the same as before, we have no fucking idea

but parliament did just say that they didn't want a no-deal brexit, so that's something

not a guarantee that no-deal won't happen, but they don't want it

I remember being very disappointed when I learnt that all these "DIY weather station" things were for recording the weather and not controlling it

@maple hi!

@kiilas have you tried turning your parliament off then on again?
