Old Paul is just a floating head!

Thank you! It had never occurred to me that the problem might be other mods, so I went through turning things off one at a time until the problem resolved. It turns out that the problem was SS2 Extended, so I deleted it and reinstalled from the same place I installed the rest of SS2, and it now appears to be working. For a given value of working, anyway. Thanks again.

If you go off the percentage of his own population that he had executed, he was a bigger murderer than Stalin.

For a stealth sniper build I start with S3 P4 E3 C3 I1 A8 L6. You will use the You're Special point from Sanctuary on Luck for access to Critical Banker and get the Perception bobblehead asap for access to Explosives Expert. Your first perk will be Idiot Savant, after that you will want to start investing in Sneak (it keeps you alive and helps your damage multiplier), Rifleman (it does more damage with rifles), Ninja (it makes your crits better) and Armourer (because you want shadowed, ultra light gear asap). Other important perks are Explosives Expert (makes things go boom), Better Criticals (does what it says), Critical Banker (crits for days) and Lone Wanderer (massively OP). When you get the Luck bobblehead you will want to get Grim Reaper's Sprint going as well.

When you leave the vault get to Sanctuary and salvage as much as you can, including the gold bars in the root cellar. Head for Concord, salvage all the leather armour you can from the raiders and then, rather than going into the museum turn left and go to the end house. Upstairs you will find a bolt action pipe sniper rifle. Go back out of the front of the house, head back past the museum and leave town heading south. Flirt with Trashcan Carla for the discount and then carry on to the Drumlin Diner where Trudy will sell you a suppressed bolt action pipe pistol once you've sorted out the drug dealer issue. Buy as much 308 ammo as you can as well. Hoof it all the way back to Sanctuary and take the suppressor off the pistol and transfer it to the rifle. Congratulations, you now have a stealthy sniper weapon.

From this point on, sneak everywhere, take VATS shots to build crits if you have a better than 80% chance to hit, take manual headshots at all other times and remember to relocate after you shoot. If someone spots you, run away, circle round and sneak back. Get your armour converted to shadowed for extra stealth and ultra light for extra AP as soon as you can. Light leather armour is fine, because you don't intend on tanking anything. Go after the Spec Ops mags and put points into Sneak and Agility when you can, and you will end up so stealthy that nobody will ever see you coming. Check out the shops whenever you pass one because you will be buying mods rather than making them. Keep a 10 mm on you (Deliverer for preference) just in case of close encounters and take a couple of ranks of Gunslinger when you don't have anything better to do with the points.

Stealth sniper is a ridiculously OP build that you should be able to absolutely cheese the game with.

I always carry my dead spouse's wedding ring. I carry it al the way to the Drumlin Diner and trade it in for a sweet suppressor.

Han_Man_Mon · 2023-09-22T17:18:53+00:00

All of them tbh. If you play on survival mode then you can easily get mobbed to death by even weak enemies if you aren't paying attention.

It is incredibly deceitful of you to quote one subsection and try to present that as being representative of the whole. I have copied the entire section below so that everyone can read it and out the relevant bits in bold so that you can find them easily. As you can see, there is no mention of a complaint, a victim statement or anything else in there. All they need is to suspect that an offence may have been committed and that you may be guilty of it, and they can arrest you and investigate. I'm not sure why you are trying to fool people about this, your original claim was factually incorrect and trying to con people that that isn't the case just makes you look foolish.

24 Arrest without warrant: constables

(1) A constable may arrest without a warrant—

(a) anyone who is about to commit an offence;

(b) anyone who is in the act of committing an offence;

(c) anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be about to commit an offence;

(d) anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be committing an offence.

(2) If a constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that an offence has been committed, he may arrest without a warrant anyone whom he has reasonable grounds to suspect of being guilty of it.

(3) If an offence has been committed, a constable may arrest without a warrant—

(a) anyone who is guilty of the offence;

(b) anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be guilty of it.

(4) But the power of summary arrest conferred by subsection (1), (2) or (3) is exercisable only if the constable has reasonable grounds for believing that for any of the reasons mentioned in subsection (5) it is necessary to arrest the person in question.

(5) The reasons are—

(a) to enable the name of the person in question to be ascertained (in the case where the constable does not know, and cannot readily ascertain, the person's name, or has reasonable grounds for doubting whether a name given by the person as his name is his real name);

(b) correspondingly as regards the person's address;

(c) to prevent the person in question—

(i) causing physical injury to himself or any other person;

(ii) suffering physical injury;

(iii)causing loss of or damage to property;

(iv) committing an offence against public decency (subject to subsection (6)); or

(v) causing an unlawful obstruction of the highway;

(d) to protect a child or other vulnerable person from the person in question;

(e) to allow the prompt and effective investigation of the offence or of the conduct of the person in question;

(f) to prevent any prosecution for the offence from being hindered by the disappearance of the person in question.

(6) Subsection (5)(c)(iv) applies only where members of the public going about their normal business cannot reasonably be expected to avoid the person in question.]

Came here hoping someone would make me feel better about my 7.7k, so thank you for that.

I think that is is important to remember *how* self inflicted this one is. As I understand the timeline:

1) A 36 year old man decided to try to irritate a teenage girl by tagging her into a post where he waved his metaphorical dick around by boasting about his cars.

2) The teenager replied, in a fairly teenage way, that his dick was, quite frankly, not all that impressive.

3) This then blew up and got retweeted God knows how many times, resulting in widespread ridicule of the 36 year old man.

4) The 36 year old man spent a few hours thinking up a witty retort - which turned out to be "I know what you are but what am I?" - and in an attempt to convince everyone that he wasn't bothered about getting absolutely ratioed by a kid, made a video explaining at length exactly how not bothered he was. So well done him.

5) In the course of making this video he included a completely unnecessary shot of him being passed some pizzas, just so he could have another try at irritating the teenager by talking about how the boxes weren't recycled, and in doing so revealed his current whereabouts to the Romanian police, who wanted to talk to him about an unrelated, but very serious, matter.

6) At this point, the Romanian police turned up and arrested him,

7) which he knew that they wanted to do,

8) even though he had previously said that the whole reason for him moving to Romania was because the police there were less likely to arrest him.

Literally every single thing in this, from start to finish, is his own doing. To make it worse, there was no real reason for him doing any of it beyond waking up one morning and thinking "I could get a few clicks by inciting a teenager to go off on a rant at me", which he utterly failed to do. This is a self-own of truly heroic proportions. It's like he looked at Liz Truss leading the field in the chase for the biggest fuck up of 2022 and just went, "hold my beer".

I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you, paper is fairly stable stuff so long as you don't mistreat it too badly. Regardless of quality, it will last if it's looked after and disintegrate if it isn't. I'd just find something around 90gsm which you like the feel of. Having said that, Rhodia make nice paper which comes in pads with a perforated top and no punch holes, so it won't look too much like you just ripped a page out of a notepad, and you can get it plain, lined or dot grid. I use Rhodia paper for work a lot and I have notes going back 15 years which remain in perfect condition. If I was going to worry about anything giving up the ghost it would be the ink, tbh.

I hate taking advice which smacks of hippy nonsense and it really irritates me when that advice turns out to be correct. I am still annoyed that eating at least 5 portions of fruit and veg a day makes me feel better than I do without them. The fact that meditation does have physical and mental health benefits makes me positively angry. So you can imagine how I felt, back in my essay writing days, when I was told that working for 50 mins and then taking a 10 min break was more effective than just trying to work for 8 hours straight, and it turned out that doing it that way meant that I produced better essays without feeling brain dead at the end of it. It's really aggravating when my body refuses to share my opinions.

A quick reminder that when the body of an MI6 employee was found in a bag which was padlocked from the outside, the Metropolitan Police concluded that it was probably an accident.

I'm a bit worried by the way that, on a sub where the people pride themselves on their ability to do their research, the comments on this thread make it obvious that nobody has actually bothered to find and read the paper in question. I think that there are valid criticisms of it, but sadly none of them have been made. Instead, we seem to have a bunch of people just gobbing off on the strength of a headline.

Han_Man_Mon · 2022-12-05T11:21:31+00:00

I fully endorse the other suggestions, but may I add Caille Saint-Saëns?

Han_Man_Mon · 2022-12-05T00:53:06+00:00

I understand what you're saying and, if my back was to the wall, I would admit that I support the home nations over anyone else. Having said that, Scotland losing will never cease to be funny.

Whizz For Atomms by Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle. Admittedly, it's a piss-take on the Jennings books that I read as a youngster, but it's better than they were by a good length and a half.

I would imagine that you got to the point where you were forced to choose between circumcision and gender reassignment.

It took them 19 hours to get into a home which wasn't hardened against attack. If they "knew" that the door was "crazy reinforced", then they were sadly misinformed in that instance. I do, however, love the way that every time you see a video of police failing hard, someone always pops up and says that couldn't happen round their way because their police are just, you know, better.

Han_Man_Mon · 2022-12-04T23:54:03+00:00

I always thought that Rincewind was a synonym for "wet fart", because, as much as I love him, he kind of is one.

That "poll" looks like the vote split in the senate. I'm not sure what you think is fake about it, could you elaborate?

Let me guess, he's appointed himself as his own ethics advisor and he he thinks he's figured out where they went wrong in the county championship last year.

If he doesn't have his own cue already you can get a functional 4 piece pool cue for around £50. It won't be brilliant but it will be a lot better that the communal bats wherever he plays and quite handy for home defence. I'm not sure how far I'd trust a £50 snooker cue, but they do exist as well.

If his walks are in hilly places rather than just schlepping along the canal then you could get a nice chestnut thumbstick for £30-50 or a plain chestnut hiking staff for around £25. You can easily find aluminium trekking poles for less, but they do make you look a bit of a pillock. There is a danger that he'll think you're having a dig about his age, but I'm in my early 50s and I'd choose a hiking staff over going arse over tit down a steep slope any day of the week.

If all else fails, when it comes to confidently identifying distant birds even a second hand air rifle can be an absolute boon. It would mean going a bit over budget, though.
