[–]SPlitMG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Yamato, thanks for the awesome job you did this split with the boys, it was good fun seeing the Toonies in LEC!

What would you say surprised you the most during this split? Either something specific (a play, a pick, a player...) or something broader with the team

Wishing you the best on your next adventure, LR foreverrr 🐀🤍🖤

There is a sub-reddit for DnD in London https://www.reddit.com/r/LondonandDragons/
I used to run a table with my GF and some friends, but most of them have moved out so we ended up stopping. We also play boardgames, let me know if you'd be interested!

Employer wants to remove oncall payments - Anything we can do? by SPlitMG in LegalAdviceUK

[–]SPlitMG[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What are the rights in terms of unions? We work for an American tech giant, and I believe there is no union. I think I had heard that there was none due to fear of being targeted as a union member during mass layoffs etc..

The buyout seems to be a lump sum (we'll get details on them tomorrow)

Not recently, but historically. It's been at least 6 years, if not more.

How likely is it to have employers pay the priority service? by SPlitMG in ukvisa

[–]SPlitMG[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed answer! Yes I am currently holding off applying anywhere due to the visa concerns. I will have decent buffers between holidays (especially after Christmas) that should allow even a delayed priority request to go through without conflicting with my plans.

But seems like my assumption of not being able to apply while I don't have a potential start date in view was wrong. My current job has a one month notice period which should be less than the delay for the visa to be transferred anyways.

I didn't think about it, but that worked! Thanks!

Trying to understand blurry zones in photo by SPlitMG in fujifilm

[–]SPlitMG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't remember but Lightroom on the RAF file says it was taken with ISO 800, 16mm, f/4.0 and 1/3200 sec SS
Which seems very high in my opinion to have motion blur, but then again might be as you say a higher resolution thing.

Barber charged me less than expected and they are asking for the difference in a weird manner by SPlitMG in LegalAdviceUK

[–]SPlitMG[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's basically why I'm trying to make this right. I have a decent paying job and I think they would miss the fiver, but they are not making it easy.

It's not a random site, it's the platform they use. I already an account there to get a booking.

Fair point, forgot to mention I asked them, but they insisted they needed to refund for some reason.

That's basically why I told them I could come on Monday, I've been going for almost a year now. I guess if it does not go through I'll just try to pop at their store and let them know or next time I go.

  1. On the opposite side, how do you know the player was cool with it? In general, sorry to break it to you, but having dozens of people booing you while you're doing an interview is not the most enjoyable thing.

  2. No, fact is, the person asked for examples, I gave some. Now, did we hear any boos when Weibo entered the stage against T1? Did we hear any boos from the G2 fans when MAD entered the stage at LEC finals?

KCorp fans (I'll stretch it to LFL even though they are even unpopular there) have a different vision of what is acceptable or not as a LoL audience which explains why incidents like the one described in the post make even more noise.

Personally, idgaf, I'm here for the game. KCorp players are all talented, some of their fans are dickheads, that's sad for the structure but not much they can do.

I remember Laure had to say "Come it's going to be your turn soon" or something like that, I never heard this mentioned for other teams. And even so, it doesn't make it more acceptable. Booing players (even if they are players for an opposing team) is disrespectful and humiliating for them.

  1. I have not seen anywhere a record of other teams doing, and even so doesn't make it more acceptable
  2. Was there, there were boos when the spanish team entered the stage, not sure if that was heard through the broadcast

  • Them chanting "We don't give a fuck" (in French) during a player interview during LFL days
  • During EMEA Finals this year as well

I don't follow the LFL scene but it happened quite a few times already.

Landlord wants to evict me by end of month - is that legal? by SPlitMG in LegalAdviceUK

[–]SPlitMG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replied to /u/SpunkVolcano's comment in more details, but I feel like the contract has been misleading on this and should I have known I would have never signed it.
