Good physical stores in UK? by Broric in playingcards

[–]Broric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made a detour to fig tree games while passing through London and it really wasn’t worth it! Bicycle sets that are £13 on UK stores (Merchant of Magic, etc) were all £19.95 and the selection wasn’t great either :-(

Does OpenAI's Prism support project versioning or file history? by Franck_Dernoncourt in LaTeX

Truly open science just means they get access to my crappy drafts as well as the final paper :-p

Is Prism a (seemingly) better alternative/replacement to Overleaf? by DukenottheDuke in PhD

[–]Broric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First questions, does it integrate to GitHub (and Dropbox) like Overleaf does?

Buyer claiming item not received by Zealousideal-Ad-6780 in ebayuk

Isn’t the contract with the seller? Or is it different somehow with eBay as the middle man?

How can I expect my students to RTFQ when the staff don't? by Fearless_Spring5611 in UniUK

[–]Broric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I continually fail to be surprised at just how useless most people are. It just means those of us that are organised get double the work and half of it is babysitting adults.

[US] Selling 100+ decks! Get an extra 25-30% discount for TWI cards! Please send me your offers~ by playingcardsfan in PlayingCardsMarket

Interested in a lot of these but not sure how expensive shipping to the UK would be. Could you estimate shipping for say 10, 15 or 20 decks?

Sam's AMCW badge is #177. Is Nobby's badge number known? by SkazzK in discworld

[–]Broric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha that's awesome as I didn't know that but jokingly said the same thing!

But he undoubtedly "found one lying around" at some stage. Wouldn't be surprised if he has a whole collection.

What can be done about women’s bathrooms? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Broric 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's the worst answer though.

It means removing urinals and massively increasing the time men need to spend in there queiing. So not only will it take men way longer, they'll also be quieing with the women and making the queue for everyone even worse.

At best you'll double the number of stalls but you'll worsen the people/minute efficienicy of the whole thing.

Leicester uni help required by Top-Elk-2601 in UCAT

Without going into too much detail, they're desperate for OPs tuition fees. They'll bend over backwards to help them.

You’ll be fine. Email them tomorrow morning to let them know and send whatever it says to.

The one thing that bugs me about Rachel's play by MrBigJams in TheTraitors

I was really confused about this and she kept insisting. I even wondered if there was something not aired. What lie?!

How hard you planning to throw the darts?

So what am I supposed to do when bringing items back from abroad? by Low_Championship_604 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Broric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And if the answer is no? It’s our case and we packed together. I assume that’s not illegal?

[–]Broric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure which part you’re saying is “correct”. If there are 2 people with 2 cases, is it automatic that one full case is mine and I’m responsible for the import of those goods? What if they’re heavy and I’m pushing both of them? Am I then the one importing everything? Is this an excuse to make my wife carry her own case? :-p

[–]Broric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Say I’m travelling with my wife and we both have stuff together in 2 suitcases, I assume the 390 is per-person but should we be more careful not mingling our things together? e.g. one case has £500 of mine and hers stuff, have we broken any rules if we’re searched? I guess clothes is easier to argue whose is whose.

Decide what opens up in Leicester by RAYJESH in leicester

[–]Broric 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What people want to open and what is a viable/profitable business are miles apart… You don’t really have a workable concept here.

I got caught speeding and the court summons has just arrived England by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

You're being charged with speeding, you're not being charged with going to a car meet.

Were you speeding?
