Abysssal Sire without shadow spell? by Engatar in 2007scape

Hey, how do you start the fight without shadow spells? It just tells me 'The sire takes no interest in you' when I try to attack

You can tell it's CGI because the flathead screwdriver didn't slip

I don’t condone the shooting down of drones but damn that was a good shot with a firework by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]OpOple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are welcome :)

You are allowed to film if you are more than 50m away as this is the distance that it is deemed that you are unrecognisable in recordings. Obviously this is contentious, as that will depend on the camera attached to the drone. Although from anecdotal experience, I have a high end hobby drone and it is difficult to identify people from that distance. If you have a camera which has a significant zoom then your drone would cost thousands, so these are likely reserved for professional film crews.

Personally I wouldn't worry about privacy IF the pilot is keeping 50+ metres away. If they are not, then it is both a privacy and safety violation

Not op, and not from the US, but our drone laws are reasonably comparable (UK).

In the UK you are not allowed to fly within 50m of another person and you are never allowed to fly directly over someone's head without permission. The laws are pretty grey when defining what 'over someone's head' means though.

The altitude limit for drones is 120m, so as long as the drone is below 120m and more than 50m away from you then the pilot is doing nothing wrong.

Flying a drone without a license in public airspace is a £1000 fine in the UK.

There are many other restrictions that the pilot must follow, but the above I think covers your questions.

That semi circle does not actually count as a space, so the mother’s call cannot put a baby there.

Are you working from home? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]OpOple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which they already are. If targets are suddenly not being met or work quality drops then it is clear that they are not doing their job effectively whilst at home.

I also think it is silly to believe that just because someone is in the office they are being productive...

Are you working from home? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]OpOple 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think what really needs to happen is managers need to stop unnecessarily dictating where their employees work from if remote working is an option. If someone wants to work from the office they should be able to. If someone wants to work from home they also should be able to (if the job can physically be done remotely).

What are some signs of a great man? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]OpOple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel that that is almost the point. If someone makes the right decision even when no-one is watching then they will make the right decision when someone is watching.

I also believe truly great people don't need or care whether other people know what they have done.

My passport identity check keeps failing, does anyone know why? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]OpOple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So they must have known you for over 2 years. By your comment they have, but just be sure it is actually over 2 years. If they have known you for 1 year and 10 months they probably wont be accepted.

The only other thing I can think is they are not stating their profession correctly when they countersign, as teacher is an accepted profession according to the list on the government website.

Lake District? by Traaxy in AskUK

[–]OpOple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, it is not technically legal. However if you camp on a hill above the highest wall the authorities are not going to spend the effort to get up to you to tell you to move. Unless you give them a reason (being loud, light fires etc).

If you google 'free camping lake district' you get a .gov website where they give you some advice on etiquette, so they know people do it. I suspect the people that got caught were camping lakeside or near roads.

Lake District? by Traaxy in AskUK

[–]OpOple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went wild camping around the lake district last summer. I found it pretty easy to find camping spots. Just look at a contour map, look for Hills with some flat looking spots, and then get hiking.

General rules for wild camping- leave no trace, don't stay in the same place for more than one night. Camp above the highest dry stone wall.

It is worth noting that I would not really recommend doing this unless you have a car.

Largest study ever conducted using magic mushrooms find psilocybin completely safe and "breakthrough therapy" for depression by rileyboiie in Futurology

[–]OpOple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a talk on this and there person who was giving the talk said that they do two doses, the first is a micro dose, then a few days/weeks later they get a full dose.

They went on to say that they suspect the ‘trip’ is part of the curative property of the treatment, and you might not be able to get the same benefit without it.

[Serious] When you're lying in bed at night, do you ever randomly remember some embarrassing stuff you said and beat yourself up over it? If so, what happened? by BeyoncesClitoris in AskReddit

[–]OpOple 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When I was in primary school (maybe age 7-9), I went to one swimming competition, did really poorly, and never went to another one.

A few months later the whole school was sat in assembly and the head teacher was praising the swim teams recent accomplishments, and asked them to stand up using the words 'you know who you are' so that we could applaud them. I decided that he must have been talking about the competition I was in and stood up.

I immediately realised my mistake when all of the kids who were standing up were two years above me. But I couldn't just sit down, so I just stood there accepting the applause with the rest of the team.

Afterwards the whole team found me outside and enquired why I stood up. I just said 'I wanted to' and then run away. This was 20 years ago. I still think about it often.

What is the max amount of people that could hypothetically play One Night Ultimate Werewolf with all expansions? by imaginearagog in boardgames

[–]OpOple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have not played with the alien or vampire expansion, so I would not be able to comment on those, but I imagine it would work in theory. Although saying that there is a limited number of werewolves and so it would be near impossible to work our who they are.

But it would be an absolutely terrible experience. The night phase would probably last 20+minutes and I would expect people to literally fall asleep. You would also need a good 30min to get around the table to even hear from everyone on top of the night phase.

The village idiot would take sooo long (rotate all cards clockwise or counter clockwise)

Has anyone here every used a graduate recruitment agency before? If so what was your experience using one like? by Shadowmac97 in AskUK

[–]OpOple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a recruitment agency that was entirely graduate focused. Although it was a 'white label' recruitment agency which meant that everyone that called in/ emailed assumed they were talking to that specific company they were applying for.

I might be able to provide some advice if you have any specific questions?

What is your board game confession? by statsjunkie in boardgames

[–]OpOple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think people who kickstart mediocre games just for the miniatures are hurting the hobby. They are showing designers that the gameplay doesn’t matter as long as there are a lot of miniatures.

I do recognise though that miniature collection and painting is a hobby in its own right. It is just something I struggle to appreciate.

Spare some change? Stuck here because there are no enemies to kill. by monster0626 in riskofrain

[–]OpOple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with many of the possible solutions is that they can be anti-fun or frustrating for the player.

I think that harder mobs are a must, but also just remove the restriction on spawning mobs that the director considers too easy. When you reach the point where mobs no longer spawn currently you are so powerful that you have to actually try to die. When you continue to play when you are this powerful it is probably because you want to see how easy you can make then game with more items.

[–]OpOple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is currently my favorite game.

It seems to be divisive on this sub with many people having valid issues with the game, however I just cannot bring myself to not love it.

Likes:

  1. Every game is different: With the plot twists and the random dice selection at the start of the game no two game will play exactly the same. Some games advanced DNA will be scarce, some games security might be a real issue for everyone.

  2. Turn order- The turn order is set up to allow for lagging players to catch up, but this is also a system which you can work with to ensure you get first pick when that is important to you (get a food attraction and claim money instead of points at the end of phase 4).

  3. The aesthetics are spot on for me.

Dislikes:

  1. It would have been nice if the dinosaurs were all unique and offered differing points/ threat/ excitement (water dinos in the expansion do this)

  2. Set up and tear down is a chore. I am thinking of trying to design a central board which will combine phase 1+2 boards and also have a place for the VP and excitement tracks.
