Yes, it's made in Quest, basically a database - rooms, objects with attributes etc, there are default common fields that you can fill in, and to do more advance things you can use the code view and scripts.

"Where does poo come from?" he asks.
The father feeling a little perturbed that his 5 year old son is already asking difficult questions thinks for a moment and says:
"Well you know we just ate breakfast?"
"Yes," answers the boy.
"Well the food goes into our tummies and our bodies take out all the good stuff, and then whatever is left over comes out of our bums when we go to the loo, and that is poo."
The little boy looks perplexed, and stares at him in stunned silence for a few seconds and asks: "And tigger?"

"Well, when a mummy and a daddy love each other very much, they get together and have a special kiss and cuddle. Daddy's willy gets hard enough that he can actually poke it all the way inside mummy, and he puts a special white wee full of little baby seeds deep into mummy's tummy. The special wee mixes with one of mummy's eggs that are hidden inside her special place, and so a baby grows inside her tummy. The baby mixture spends 9 months growing in her tummy before coming out of her front bottom as a new baby"

From what I remember of the original story was that he objected to treated as a criminal for doing so.
To be clear the ÂŖ60 fine is a penalty notice given instead of prosecution because you've broken the law.
The local education could decided to take you to court instead where the fine could be much higher and you'll get a criminal record.
But it's a nice little earner for them as tens of thousands are issued each year. So they'll keep on fining instead probably.
So they are saying it's mega harmful to the child but won't use they're full powers to prosecute and try and stop it happening.

Considering my partner is infertile, I think the chances of us having kids is pretty slim.
And neither of us have ever had the desire to reproduce anyway. I can barely look after myself and we've agreed that if we ever reach a point in our relationship where we're so bored that we think having a child might be the only way to salvage what's left, we should just split up.
(, Thu 6 Apr 2017, 15:42, Reply)
it's not about boredom
the ideal, is that you meet someone, and your combined experiences of the world are usefull to raise, or at least start, the next generation off with a good idea of how to function and how to improve.
it's rather selfish to think that this life is just for you and what you can get out of it, and not to think "if people where a bit more X the world would be a better place" and then work really hard (and parenting is hardwork) to instill those values in someone.
now, as i said thats the ideal, and humans aren't perfect so people end up having them for all sorts of terrible reasons and imparting alsorts of horrible things... which is why it's a responsibility of the kind, the nice, and the wise to have children, to impact the damage.
now obviously if your partner is infertile you have had that stripped away from you, but to then right-off the whole thing as a product of boredom, honestly, is churlish.
(, Thu 6 Apr 2017, 15:47, Reply)
I've felt this way ever since being introduced to the concept of reproduction.
It wasn't exactly 'stripped away' from me. If anything, it was an enormous relief to discover my partner was infertile (she had known for some time before we met) and that she shared my opinions on reproduction.
Are you really claiming that choosing to not reproduce is selfish? It's not up to the next generation to fix our wrongs. If that was the case, we'd never get anything done, because the next generation would just rely on the next.
Spend less energy on making kids and more energy on fixing the world if that's really your end game.

I'm not trying to convince you
taht not having a kid is something you should regret. But.
I had a fulfilling life before we had a kid. Now my son is the most amazing, interesting, puzzling, weird, cute little human and keeps me busy, entertained, wondering, happy and sometimes exasperated and sleepless.
Having a kid has meant all other things in life went on the back-burner: reading, skating, meeting friends, watching fantastic fiction. Because the responsibility to take care of my son takes precedence over and leaves little time for all the other things. But hey: its also a lot more interesting and rewarding then the other things.
Just saying. Someone should cheer for team parent in this thread.

OK, I'll bite
Private schools operate as businesses, so why should they not be taxed as such? The tiny amount of 'charity work' they do does not justify not paying VAT.
Near us is Eton and they own Dorney Lake, where the Olympic rowing was held. Dorney Lake is run as a profit center for Eton and they rarely give free access.
The amount of tax is tiny compared to getting Facebook or Google to pay what they owe, however.
(, Thu 6 Apr 2017, 16:35, Reply)
But increasing private school costs will mean less parents can afford to send their children there which in turn will increase the pressure on state schools.
It's a similar argument with private health care, people who can pay for their own treatment shouldn't be discouraged from doing so as it frees up NHS resources.
Using Eton as an example is not particularly helpful as they're not really representative of private schools in general.

In France
they stagger half terms and school holidays a bit, regionally. This means that they don't all overlap completely. This reduces the full extent of the demand for family holidays, thus the supply is greater, so the prices don't fluctuate as wildly as they do over here. Plus they all take the whole of August off and will only work a thirty five hour week. That's why their economy is booming and unemployment is so low.
However a simple idea that could help parents and their budgets like staggering school holidays will surely be vehemently opposed by the NUT as an abomination.
Also you clearly have no understanding of super basic supply and demand economics. You posit that the outcome of a variance is its cause. Batshit mental.

I agree with the bloke
I think this is an overreach in the powers of the state over the powers of parents. 40 years ago the state was trying to force children just to attend school, which seems reasonable, but fining someone over a weeks holiday seems overboard, especially when they allow things like homeschooling and religious education which to me have far more potential to fuck up (or literally fuck) the younglings, compared to a week in florida.

Rules is Rules
There is discretion from both the school and council. It is just tough luck if they don't apply it. These parents moaning about it...there are plenty of unfair laws go visit your MP and try to get them changed or face the consequences rather than stamp your feet about it.

Also, don't you morons want PR? Under that system, UKIP, who got almost four million votes in the 2015 general election would have a lot more MPs than you with your less than two and a half million votes.

Yes Benny junior. Geert Wilders & Co only got twenty seats in the Dutch Parliament.
A mere 13% of all seats available. Truly a victory for the liberals and their wacky voting system. Islamophobia has been soundly defeated in the Netherlands. Well, that's how it was portrayed by the BBC and Guardian over here. Fake news. 13%, Benny jr. They'd have got nothing like that under FPTP. It may not be perfect, but it acts as a disinfectant that kills off the lunatic fringe, which liberals and moderates need to remember when they start whining about Populism. PR is Populism in electoral form.

I had a flounce and make no apology for it.
Cumtwat, very much like his hero Ken, was taking a half truth, twisting it into a lie, and liberally sprinkling it with more lies. My favourite was that Hitler made a deal with Israel, a state that didn't exist until after his death. You lapping it all up and describing the bullshit and lies as "technically true" didn't help either.

I posted a link and came back seven hours later.
I did begin to engage with a couple of replies but realised it was a total waste of time within two minutes as it was crystal clear only a minority had read the link. So I impulsively thought I'd bin the whole thing. So there was no "blather" and no one had "debunked" my argument as I hadn't made one other than post a link I agreed with. Your suggestion I did all that is extremely unsportsmanlike.

Go ahead, but just don't lie and claim I was heavily involved in the thread.
I posted three replies. None were replied to as they were only up for two minutes before I flounced. The first was to you. The entirety of it was: "no". The second was to you. It related to your claim that Hitler made a deal with "Zionist Israel". I aggressively and swearily pointed out that Israel did not exist in Hitler's lifetime, so you were clearly making stuff up. The third was to Cerebus, made more in sorrow than in anger.
EDIT: regarding your edit, we did not engage in an argument, you did not reply to either of my replies to you as they were not up for long enough. You are confusing me with someone else. Stop making shit up.

Yeah, but, here's the thing...
I was actually waiting for someone to respond to Pru's arguments then the thread disappeared.
You see, pointing out that Israel didn't actually exist until after Hitler had died did seem to be quite a good irrefutable argument, and I was genuinely interested to see where that went, then the thread vanished. Up until that point the whole thing was total dross.
So, while I agree that demolishing the thread was poor form, I also think Pru's analysis of it is actually spot on.

It was poor form to bin it. It was rash and impulsive.
However as I say in my sig... and also people were defending Ken with his very own arguments that have been vehemently refuted as wrong right across the political spectrum so I thought what is the point? He's getting facts wrong and very badly misrepresentated that wotsit agreement.
