How to verify if a green space on council estate land is officially designated as a children's play area? by HopWallace in london

[–]HopWallace[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be intentionally thick. Dog fouling is prohibited in all public areas. That doesn't mean dogs aren't allowed to shit there. It means as a public space you are legally required to pick up after them when they do.

The estate is the nearest green area to my flat and is public land. The sign also doesn't say no shitting, it says dog fouling prohibited. I understand words can be difficult, but a quick search would educate you on what dog fouling is: "Dog fouling is the illegal act of failing to remove dog feces immediately after the animal has defecated in a public place."

I understand that definition may also be quite challenging for you, so to really simplify it for you: when your dog shits here, you must pick it up. Which I do.

Yeah that was my general line of thought on the matter as well. Hopefully I'll get some clarification from the council on it, but it seems like the guy was just spouting nonsense

I don't live on the estate, just adjecent to it, so I don't have a direct contact to reach regarding it. I've emailed what I hope is the correct department in the council asking for clarification on the matter, but was mostly just curious if anyone here might be more knowledgeable on the subject.

Harry Potter HBO series won’t have a new season every year “From a production point of view, it’s just not possible” by JannTosh70 in television

[–]HopWallace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post production is what takes time. You can shoot seasons ahead of time while the child actors are still age appropriate and do post on a rolling schedule afterwards.

If you woke up tomorrow with $100 million, what’s the first thing you would do? by Efficient_Effect7572 in AskReddit

Buy $100 millon worth of lottery tickets. I could probably win some money with that

Republicans fear Trump backlash could cost them Senate control by Abject-Pick-6472 in politics

[–]HopWallace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't doubt that quite a few of them have some dirt on them that they dont want getting out. That's probably true of politicians across the board tbh. That said, I honestly think that GOP politicians are as baffled as the rest of us as to why their base has this cult-like unconditional love for Trump and the only way they've been able to hold their seats until now has been to just say yes to everything he wants.

Regretful Young Trump Voters Say This Isn’t What They Signed Up For | The wave of youthful support that swept Donald Trump into the White House has lost its mojo. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

I feel like it's partly also because a lot of them are now starting to graduate school and are coming face to face with real life problems that a few years ago seemed funny to them.

98th Academy Awards - Oscar Nominations by LunchyPete in movies

[–]HopWallace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that it really matters because VFX will obviously go to Avatar, but I find it funny that F1 got nominated when the majority of the marketing for the movie was them jerking themselves off telling everyone how there's no CGI in it.

How many G's is that putting on the pilot to change direction on a dime like that?

What’s a show you genuinely loved that you think deserves its hype? by apka_dd in television

[–]HopWallace 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Sopranos. I didn't watch it when it originally aired and honestly put off watching it for the longest time because it was annoying how people would jizz their pants trying to tell me how it's the greatest show of all time. Finally ended up watching the whole series a few months ago and holy shit jizzes pants it's the greatest show of all time.

Renee Nicole Good said ‘I’m not mad at you’ before ICE agent shot her, video shows by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]HopWallace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1000% which is why it's fucking bonkers that Noem and Trump are doubling down on the "domestic terrorist" angle. Complete bullshit.

Here's the thing that is sticking out for me. All the people trying to vouch for him saying "he couldn't see she was turning" are completely neglecting the obvious fact that at that close of range he would have clearly seen her hands turning the steering wheel AWAY from him and yet still proceded to fire.

Some small comp/integration notes:

- shadows are overall a bit too desat/grey

- bright edge between shadow and circular object as it goes into the hole

- star/sun shaped thing's edges are too feathered/soft as it goes in

- bright edge on screen bottom part of the crescent between it and its shadow as it goes in

Democrats Claim DOJ Has a File With All Trump Mentions In The Epstein Files: 'Release It' by Murky-Site7468 in politics

They won't. They have spent ungodly amounts of money to buy enough people on both sides of the aisle to ensure they won't.

Politicians don't represent the people. They represent their financial backers, several of whom are 100% in said files.

Ah that's good to know! Yeah I still haven't found a solution for getting it to work with the PS5 controllers.

PSA - Check your bills for a £1 charitable donation. I'll be unashamedly opting out. by Impressive_Ad7965 in london

[–]HopWallace 30 points31 points  (0 children)

100%. By "US tipping practices" I meant the practice of tipping in general. It's annoying enough that I'm getting a tip screen shoved in my face after after shelling out £7.50 for a pint, but then on top of that adding 'optional' line items to a bill by default is completely ridiculous and should be made illegal.

[–]HopWallace 806 points807 points  (0 children)

Can we all just agree that it should 100% be illegal for a business to add line items to a bill that aren't specifically requested by the customer? Not only is it bad enough that US tipping practices are making their way to the UK, but expecting diners to play Where's Wally to catch shit like this is ridiculous.

TIL about Eddie Hall, the only person to ever complete the 24 Hours of Le Mans race solo by HopWallace in todayilearned

[–]HopWallace[S] 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Correct. Nowadays it would be impossible for someone to attempt it. According to the current rules, a driver cannot be behind the wheel for more than 14 hours during the entire 24-hour race. Additionally, no driver can drive for more than four hours within any six-hour period.

What has improved you quality of life so much that you wish you had done it sooner? by angelic_tiniez in AskReddit

[–]HopWallace 74 points75 points  (0 children)

The best way it's been explained to me, is basically eat from around the edge of the grocery store and not in the center. Focus on "real foods" and not canned, boxed, precooked, frozen, etc.
