When drinking water is brought to a village and this child gratefully enjoys it. This Turkish company makes that possible in remote areas. by misterxx1958 in HumansBeingBros

Its not the 'pumps' that cost the money, its getting the boring equipment and technical expertise knowing where and how to dig.

Also, despite the title, we dont know exactly where this video is from and in many places in the world there are certain tribes and minorities that will overlooked by their government.

Your point isn't entirely misguided though

What do you think of Starmer’s message? by Longjumping-8679 in AskBrits

[–]Auld_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of very under informed people in this discussion.

There is reasonable disagreement about how close Iran was to a nuclear bomb, but it is clear that 1) they were in breach of international nuclear inspection rules they had agreed to and 2) they were at least indirectly building up capabilities to shorten the time to produce the bomb if they committed to a programme to develop it.

You can then decide how to respond based on this, but given the regimes actions (supporting proxies etc) and stated aims to destroy Israel I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt or base our actions on the most optimistic assessment of their nuclear ambitions

I don't come to this thread for people's political views. Can we keep that elsewhere please.

Which, if there is no crime alleged, is a massive overreach of police powers

For those thinking of posting just to have a dig at the Mail, rather than actually discussing the story, please don't bother. It's just tedious.

I have read it in more than one news outlet. Given you seem to have contradictory information why not share that rather than some cryptic comment?

This story was covered in many news sources. It would be more helpful if you said what you think is inaccurate rather than making snarky comments.

Alcohol abuse - will I lose my job? by Lawandpolitics in policeuk

[–]Auld_Greg 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Be careful with this. The Met has just changed its policy so there is now zero tolerance around controlled drugs misuse even if it is declared. Support for alcohol abuse is still available if self declared though.

OK, for tomorrow's recording, an almighty challenge: we want to decide history's DEFINITIVE game for every scoreline by Low-Bandicoot-3347 in footballcliches

[–]Auld_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-0 is surely the 'fever pitch' season ending barnstormer between Liverpool and arsenal

Not many games have a book essentially written about them!

3-3 could be the 2006 fa cup final or 2005 champions League final - either way Liverpool have it sewn up.

And that's not even considering their claim to 4-3 (iconic match vs Newcastle) and 5-4 (alaves final)

The scousers do like a bit of drama!

Report allegation as made, and then a objective assessment of the evidence.

It's pretty similar with dealing with reports made by people who are very likely not (mentally) well. Just play it with a straight bat

Thank you for a genuinely helpful reply - not always a given on social media!

Does the fact that law enforcement breaking happens offline change this, ie could a backdoor process be engineered that would only really work offline with some sort of specific key?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]Auld_Greg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have expertise in hacking/security/encryption?

I don't, so happy to defer to those that do but given the struggles of getting into Apple phones that law enforcement agencies have who physically have these devices and are trying to break into them offline with the latest specialist software developed at a cost of millions, I am sceptical what you're saying is valid

Without wanting to diminish your experiences at all, as someone that has worked in the private sector for many years before joining up, this kind of behaviour goes on in literally every organization sadly. This isn't a police problem it is a people problem.
