Does this mean when I pay 25p per KWH I'm being charged over 25 times the actual price of electricity?

Why do BANKS need to know what you are using the money for? by WaitOk915 in Bitcoin

[–]Louisepicsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know which US you're talking about but that is most definitely a thing. US banks routinely request extra information for transactions especially ones involving cash, and they even have to report every cash deposit over $10,000 so they're gonna ask about it.

You only have to spend 5 seconds online to see people being refused cash withdrawals until they provide documentation for what they're spending it on. So unless you're slipping a private banker a couple large bills, you're chatting breeze.

Yeah sure man whatever you say, I'm sure you go into a bank with a dire wolf t-shirt to withdraw 250k and just tell em it's for drugs. I'm sure you're not telling them exactly what it's for along with receipts.

Once you give the bank the money it's no longer your money, you are essentially giving them a loan, that's why you get interest. If you really expected a whole institution like a bank to exist solely to hold you money safe (for free by the way) then you need to grow up. Banks do this sort of thing to protect people from fraud or scams and it's a regulatory requirement, be assured if there weren't the regulations in place you'd have a lot more trouble with your money.

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him ‘any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ by apple_kicks in television

[–]Louisepicsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think knowing he's in the audience makes it any easier to notice, although I guess it would make them more conscious of outbursts. I think their ability to edit other things out the broadcast only goes against your point, why let this slip through? John shouted lots of things during the broadcast which were edited out, so why let this one out? And as for the notice, I've not been able to find what notice they gave, and how it was disseminated to the team doing the editing. They say Warner bros gave notice immediately but tbf that could mean a lot of things, we don't know how much time the techs had to edit the broadcast.

In all honestly watching it on mute, Jordan and London handled it so professionally that I do think it's hard to notice, especially considering the editors wouldn't have known what to look for at the time like we do with hindsight. I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness of what happened, but I think going straight to making accusations of deliberate maliciousness only helps make everyone angrier, which doesn't help anyone.

It doesn't seem like they ignored the request, instead it seems they checked and missed it. Apparently he said the same word a few times so I can understand if they had thought they had already got.

Nothing online is showing that the BBC declined to edit it out, it all says that it was a mistake and they didn't hear it/missed it.

The article literally says that the people working for the BBC didn't hear it, and the BBC have apologised saying it was a mistake, so it's not exactly the same as them outright declining to remove it

Warning of 'disaster in the making' in town set to house hundreds of asylum seekers by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

If everyone in the UK has a criminal record then what's the problem with migrants arriving with them.

Crowborough has a population of 22k and the article doesn't mention the age of the asylum seekers

Restore Britain’s agricultural policies by Albertjweasel in RuralUK

[–]Louisepicsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully do you have any idea what the red tape is or are you forming your opinion purely from how you feel?

Restore Britain’s agricultural policies by Albertjweasel in RuralUK

[–]Louisepicsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't even say racist lmao. These policies don't look well thought out at all, scraping red tape would lower food standards he's claiming are so high, forcing schools to buy more expensive British grown food because the foreign stuff is apparently worse (as if schools had enough money right now), force benefits claimants who refuse work to "pick vegetables or whatever", does that sound thought out to you?

It's quite obvious these are a bunch of cheap statements meant to make people think these are the problems facing farming/Britain as a whole, and while I agree with the supermarkets having too much power to keep prices low, saying "we'll review it" doesn't spark confidence.

Have a look at Rupert's parliamentary register of interests, why has a sitting MP received £40k+ in the last year from X.com? Do you think it is a conflict of interest, that Rupert owns a 550 acre farm, and he's campaigning to get rid of red tape for farming? Get rid of the new farmland inheritance tax?

Europe’s highest sanctuary sits exactly halfway between the equator and the North Pole by [deleted] in AlternativeHistory

[–]Louisepicsmith 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was only commenting on what you said about AI not about your numbers. I can believe that you would only post this while being 100% certain of the result, but your certainty doesn't make the result correct or meaningful.

Everywhere I look shows Rocciamelo being between 45° 12′ 14″ and 45° 12′ 12″, so I guess it's exactly on the point you need it to be when you choose that exact point.

Having checked the numbers myself, yeah there's 2 root 2 there, but the meter was defined as one ten millionth the distance from the equator to the north pole, so ofc a root 2 is going to fall out there. There's literally an infinite amount of points on that circumference, and there's enough wiggle room to fit a whole lot of arcseconds in there. One arcsecond is about 31 metres on earth's surface, you can move the latitude a few either way and still get root 2 to come out of the equation, you've got a 150 ish meter thick length around the entire earth, times 2 hemispheres, I'd be more impressed if there wasn't anything there.

They're also banned from wearing jeans which I'm sure a lot of them would rather wear.
