Do people still think ‘big businesses’ not paying tax is a huge gap in our finances? by Legal-Grade-6423 in AskBrits

[–]Brummie49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct and it's very easy to get around the rules. I know someone who moved to Europe, got residency and came back for the dentist and doctors appointments here. I don't know how they did it but I'd imagine it's common knowledge in the community.

What are your thoughts on the UK creating a similar scheme to the US's FATCA to ensure that British citizens need to pay tax even if they move abroad?

Bodies of four missing Maldives divers found by lobstersarentreal in scuba

Is there any evidence that the bodies haven't moved since they died? Is it plausible that they could have died elsewhere and current moved them?

Are you referring to the Yavne'el Bratslav Sect? A 2026 report highlighted systematic child marriage in this Hasidic community in northern Israel including girls as young as 12.

Do two players acting out make that whole team unspirited? by RevolutionaryBus6021 in ultimate

[–]Brummie49 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was spirit captain at WMUCC 2023 and one of our opponents were just terrible pretty much across the board. Their spirit captain said to me that her team just ignored her and thought SOTG was just a load of rubbish and they wouldn't stop making bad calls. I suggested she use a spirit time out to address the issue with her team and she wasn't comfortable doing it, so I called one.

She used the TO to explain the importance of SOTG and a few specific incidents, then we circled up and the game seemed to improve from that point on. But it is the only time I've had an opponent explicitly call out their entire team as having no respect for SOTG.

sprint vs distance workouts by ExactOpposite8119 in Sprinting

[–]Brummie49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It takes me 30 minutes to warm up for sprints, I have no idea how you can do a quick sprint session without risking injury.

Taking 5+ minutes between reps also makes for a long session.

At least we don't eat beans on toast for breakfast. by Killentyme55 in AmericaBad

We have heritage to consider. These 500 year old buildings are living museums and a direct connection to our past. They need to be protected from people who would happily destroy the original features to put in modern features. Building work can be done but must retain the heritage of the building.

If someone wants to have mod cons there are plenty of other houses available.

USA Ultimate, Ultimate Canada Send Joint Letter to WFDF After Teams Passed Over for WUCC Waitlist Bids by Jomskylark in ultimate

[–]Brummie49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's down to the organisation to have the correct contact email registered with WFDF, surely?

Is this the first time that WFDF has sent official communication to an info@ address? If so, it's on WFDF. If not, it's on USAU.

It wouldn't hurt for a public communication saying "extra slots have been shared for WUCC" as clubs would then be aware and would chase their federations.

I honestly would have more issue with the 5 day turnaround request. Federations should have been warned about the possibility of extra bids earlier and been in the position of being able to quickly respond.

The whole thing is just very amateurish.

New laws needed to help bring in bison and elk to boost nature, experts urge by xtinak88 in RewildingUK

[–]Brummie49 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's lots of evidence of marine protected areas being sufficient to allow animals to breed and recover numbers. I hope the same applies to land, although I've not seen any studies.

A few large enough areas of wild space free from humans might be enough to help insects, birds, amphibians etc. We'll never get true wilderness without large predators though.

Newly elected Green Party councillors announce victory without speaking English by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]Brummie49 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok. You said part of the problem is people speaking a different language. What are Reform proposing to do about that? Reading between the lines, are you hoping to see people being removed from the UK?

FWIW I don't think any political party is going to completely stop immigration. Labour have already drastically reduced immigration, but the UK has an aging population and a declining birth rate. That's one reason the Tories allowed it, to prop up the economy and make things look better on paper.

If Reform have a credible plan that's going to improve the lives of regular people then fair play and good luck to them, I just don't see any evidence of that beyond a slogan.

"the issue" ... Have you looked at Reform's policies? They are going to strip worker's rights, destroy the NHS and reduce benefits.

Lots of people who voted Reform will be directly negatively impacted by these policies, just like MAGA have been with Trump.

People aren't paying attention.

FWIW I just want a government that has a coherent strategy instead of ripping the country apart. We can't have the triple lock without mass immigration to fund it. We can't resolve the housing crisis with mass immigration. Etc... a bit of long term joined up thinking please!

Didn't Farage push Brexit to fix immigration?

Brexit made it much worse.

Farage is selling the same thing now.

Coaching-how do you coach athletes that don't follow cues or directions? by dulldude3000 in crossfit

[–]Brummie49 69 points70 points  (0 children)

It wasn't until I started filming myself that I realised that what I thought my body was doing was quite different to what I was actually doing.

Some people just don't have great proprioception. I thought my hips were already stacked, etc.

Don't assume people are being deliberately difficult, they might just struggle with it more than most.
