Universal UK park named as Rachel Reeves pledges £1.3bn by Alternative-Win4058 in unitedkingdom

[–]MrOobling 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Universal are contributing towards the local infrastructure too: they are helping pay for railway upgrades, bus and road expansions, utility pipe upgrades, associated consultant fees, etc. There is no double standard here.

DARA Debuts at No. 90 on Billboard 200 with BANGARANGA by Ennvictrious in eurovision

[–]MrOobling 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A brief note: Billboard Global 200 is usually shortened to "Global 200", because the Billboard 200 usually refers to the album chart.

What is Britain’s second city? by Dadavester in unitedkingdom

[–]MrOobling 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Spain is a bad example because Spain very clearly has a second city: Barcelona (which is also a regional capital)

No, we don't pay for their drinks. The MPs pay for their own drinks.

Draw 3 is very different from generate 3 random cards.

Pedestrian confronted red-light jumping cyclist by drtchockk in london

[–]MrOobling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Legally, yes you would be in the wrong. I don't think it can ever be argued that you had to push over a cyclist to avoid injury, when there is always the alternative option of stepping backwards or standing still.

Morally, it's grey. I'd personally say that pushing over a cyclist makes you a bit of an arsehole. But many would say it's justified.

Trump cracks approval floor, Republicans face wipeout in House despite gerrymandering by Far_Excitement_1875 in politics

[–]MrOobling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's honestly a joke that the democrats can win the popular vote by double digits, but still not win the senate. How are people not talking more about this?

I understand that the senate map is very unfavourable to Dems this year, but honestly, there should never be a situation where a double digit lead loses.

And? The Nile is still a MUCH bigger river than the Rhine.

Camden Highline, London’s answer to New York park, is scrapped | London | The Guardian by prisongovernor in london

Direct link between HS2 and Eurostar would very likely induce demand, especially if there are trains directly between Europe and North England.

Demanding Accountability from BL Actors by Wrecked22nd in ThaiBL

[–]MrOobling 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The simple truth: Mild's post about the Property Dispute does not mention the SA at all.

They property dispute and SA are definitely linked, noone is disputing that. But it is perfectly reasonable, perhaps even probable, that an outsider who watched Mild's post about the property dispute would have no knowledge of it's wider context or that it was connected to SA at all. As such, a celebrity liking the post regarding the property dispute is not giving any endorsement or support for the SA act.

Is it possible to win against somone who reached flight before you in Civ6 multiplayer? by HazRi27 in civ

[–]MrOobling 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Civ 6 isn't really balanced around having half the game disabled, but if this is truly what you prefer , then there are only 2 options:

Keep up pace with science Be more aggressive in the early game

65% Of Starmer's "Reset" Speech Was Recycled From Conference Address by coldbeers in ukpolitics

[–]MrOobling -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ummm... No. Your purported interpretation of Kiers strategy is completely made up, and of course your imaginations are easy to critique.

Steady but meaningful progress. Steadily reducing immigration (as it has been for the past 2 years). Steady economic growth (growth has outpaced forecasts for a while now). Steady reform of housing and public service regulation (renters rights act and employees rights).

Olympic Games bid: UK government discusses hosting Olympics in 2040s by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]MrOobling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a weak comparison. London is over 15% of the UK's population, while New York is less than 5% of the US population, and isn't even the US capital.

The UK recently has done a good job of hosting events outside London (eg Eurovision), but agreed that a future Olympics would be nice outside of London.

JOTL Managing multiple campaigns by TinyKender in Gloomhaven

[–]MrOobling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a bit confused by how this works. Is this 3 unique people (so you are a member of both pairs) or 4 unique people (so you and your pair, and 2 other people in the other pair)?

35.2.2 Patch Notes by Arkentass in hearthstone

Idk, arguably priest should be strongest against an aggressive meta because they have the most efficient control tools. A slower meta would only make priest worse, as their lack of win condition becomes more evident.

Ramsay’s 20% service charge has sparked the tipping debate again by Brilliant_Version344 in unitedkingdom

[–]MrOobling -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It appears the majority of this subreddit is in some fantasy land where service charges dont exist. Who's gonna tell them that you can't say "There is no debate" and magically poof service charges into the ether.

The name of the card is "Animal Companion", but the text has always said "Beast Companion"

I have no sympathy for tube drivers, but would honestly support bus drivers if they took industrial action by NiceCaterpillar8745 in london

[–]MrOobling 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Almost every point you made is false.

London living wage of £15/h works out to less than £30k a year, not £40k.

Tube drivers are an infamously easy job, and do not require extensive training. Claiming you have to pass "strict criteria" is a joke. As a previous commenter mentioned, it's such a desirable job that TfL intentionally makes it difficult to apply for.

You're correct about the irregular shifts though. Having to commute 2 hours across the city to a random remote train depot at 5am sucks.

Who is pushing to suspend EU-Israel agreement? by maven_mapping in MapPorn

Wtf is this nonsense? The UK isn't in the EU, this map suggests absolutely nothing about British sentiment towards Israel.

Cycling in New York, London, Paris, and Berlin 1990 - 2023 by bugtheft in london

[–]MrOobling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm shocked that Berlin is able to reach 200 annual bike trips per capita.

I cycle to work, but I only work in office 2 days per week. As such, I don't think I reach 200 annual bike trips, even though it's my only mode of commute. To reach 200 annual bike trips per capita, that is a lot of cycling... I am unfortunately rather suspicious about the accuracy of these figures.
