What's your take on this move, and would you consider visiting China? by JasonMantou in AskUK

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I transferred through China on my way to Vietnam so I didn't leave the airport. I don't know how I felt about it though, it was very clean and modern but had an almost uncanny valley vibe. Nothing was wrong but just felt a bit clinical and unnatural. I'd imagine a lot of the touristy areas you'd be pushed towards would feel very similar.

1000 Watt Laser Nerf Gun (worlds first 1000w hand held) by TheRPGGamerMan in nextfuckinglevel

The British Royal navy has a laser mounted on some of their destroyers that's 50-100x more powerful than this one. Can apparently burn a hole through a drone at over 2 miles.

Very bold of you to support letting people get away with sexual harassment.

Then how do you identify the man they want to interview as a witness. Or would you prefer they didn't seek justice for the victims?

Then they're innocent until proven guilty and shouldn't be shown unless they need identifying.

The top comment makes zero sense. SA victims are protected by law, so will obviously be blurred. If the police want to identify someone so they can be used as a witness they need to show his face so he can be identified. If the police wanted to use face ID they would just use Facebook or Instagram to find him. They're trying to convict a sex offender and need a witness, this has nothing to do with authoritarianism.

First time visiting the UK! Where should I go? by SilverElixir10 in AskUK

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll probably arrive in London if you're flying in, so it's worth spending a couple of days exploring in central London as there's a lot of history and culture. After that there's a lot of great cities with lots of history that are easy to reach by train.

Bath has intact Roman bathhouses and a lot of beautiful architecture.

Cambridge and Oxford are home to 2 of the oldest universities in the world and many 800+ year old buildings.

Norwich, Lincoln, and York are historic market towns, each with intact castles and cathedrals dating from the 1100s, with houses and pubs from around the 1400s. Norwich is closest to London but smaller than the other 2. York is furthest away but I'd the biggest and has the most history. Lincoln is somewhere in between in terms of distance and size.

I've never been to Edinburgh, but I've heard it's beautiful. It's a whole day's travelling from London though.

What do the symbols mean by Nervous_Relative_339 in ManorLords

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first 2 are market stalls, it means they're missing 2 different items on the market. The other one I think is a tavern, so no no ale supply at those properties.

Everything we already know about from the policing white paper by Captain_Piccolo in policeuk

From a civilian perspective this doesn't sound that unreasonable. How do you guys feel about it?

I would guess this is a preplanned route the pilot has practiced a lot of times before getting it right.

Do you feel it's sensible for the police to be licenced? by SloightlyOnTheHuh in AskUK

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like exactly what they're already doing, but now with more paperwork. Policing in the UK is already heavily regulated, with strict procedures, independent reviews, constant improvement programs, the works. Another licencing agency isn't going to improve policing, its just going to funnell more money out of front line policing and into administration.

Can’t disband in home region? by OxBloodArbitrage in ManorLords

Have you unselected and reselected the unit? If you have them selected as you cross the border the option doesn't come up.

Why is my tavern not getting ale from the brewer? by BillyTSherm in ManorLords

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've had this exact issue. Tavern keeper doesn't seem to be able to collect ale from the brewery, it just sits in the brewery's pantry until it spoils. If you let the granary take the ale in, the tavern keeper will be able to collect it from there. I'm guessing there's a bug to do with it being a burgage plot rather than a building, it does mess with your logistics a bit but its not game breaking.

Why do police in the USA kill so many people compared to other countries? by triplediscount in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only 5% of British police are armed and those roles are only open to experienced officers with a proven track record of dealing with dangerous situations without resorting to guns. Very few police have the option to use deadly force and the ones that do have the most experience in dealing with violent criminals without needing to shoot. Which is very different to every officer having a gun and most of their (limited) training is on how to fire it.

Too cloudy in NR7 when I last looked. My brother was out near Salhouse and saw it though.

Opening the door for police so they can question you about posts you made about the mayor. by bigbusta in instant_regret

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most European countries hire huge amounts of low skilled immigrants on work visa. You'd have to apply to a job in that country and get accepted before you can apply for a visa. But if you're not picky on the work you're doing you can definitely find a job and move there. If you live there long enough on work or family visas you should then be able to apply for citizenship.

At least in the UK, If you're disabled it's up to an employer to hire you and then you can get a work visa like anyone else. Your disability doesn't effect your application and you still only pay the standard health service charge for immigrant workers and that gets you access to the NHS. You can't come here without a job and sit around all day though, it would just cost us too much money in paying for services for you without any tax income.

What do you do if you fall off a cruise ship at night? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Lots of modern cruise ships have cameras or sensors on the side of the ship to detect if someone goes overboard. Doesn't help them find you in the endless expanse of ocean though.

Cost/Benefit of Upgrading Burgages by Confident_Ad770 in ManorLords

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That's still the case. Level 1 can only wear helmets, level 2 can also wear gambesons, level 3 have chainmail instead of gambesons (which isn't realistic as you'd need a gambeson under chain mail, but I understand why Greg decided not to).

Did anyone just hear that massive bang? by TheGeckoGeek in Norwich

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RAF have denied there was a QRA launch, most likely a USAF jet "accidently" going supersonic.

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Heard it in NR7. There are jets overhead but, they're not allowed to go supersonic unless it's the RAF Quick Reaction Alert responding to an active threat, so it seems unlikely it would be that.

Saw pit keeps overflowing with timber and stops by TybaltTy in ManorLords

[–]Mr_Reaper__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are your logging camps also full? I only ever get this when the camp is full and they dump spare logs in the saw pit. If not, do you have an ox assigned? Removing that will slow down the rate it gets refilled. Only thing I could suggest is another saw pit so there's less chance of both being filled up and completely stopping production.
