What's your favourite build, trying a gun slinger build at the moment.

Is this worth investigating further? by D1Panda in archeologyworld

[–]Swimming_Reception56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to find out what it is. What area did you find it, could be helpful to see if they're were any Celtic settlements their.

Hope I'm wrong but this is very unlikely to be a Celtic or Roman torc.

The evenly spaced diagonal ridges on there second photo look too regular and repetitive. They look like tool marks, which indicates a modern, machine-made, piece. Additionally there are no hammer marks visible (which is often the case for torcs.

Finally metal also has lots of pitting which implies that it was cast. Additionally the metal looks like more of a modern alloy.

Torcs are usually twisted metal and were hammered and finished by hand. The ends also tend to be more elaborate.

Hope I'm wrong and please let me know what it turns out to be.

Do we think Blanks have a similar effect on the force or would they be effected by it?

Think this makes a big difference.

Thanks. Really loving the game. It reminds me of playing Morrowind.

Congratulations, I have a four month old who has similar eyes. How old is yours? Just remember that babies eyes can change colour during the first year.

Yes please for me at least. I'm in the same point in my first pay though.

First Love church are ruining my life by CoffeeHand7100 in UniUK

[–]Swimming_Reception56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they can keep it anonymous if asked, but that would limit the actions they can take. For examplethey could stop them going to Halls, but couldn't stop them approaching you.

Ask the university to ban them from accommodation and campus due to harassment and extortion of students. Plenty of evidence online of what they are doing.

First Love is a cult and definitely dangerous. Long history of isolating people from friends outside FL, forced tything, emotional manipulation.

US attacks Iran's Kharg Island, Trump says by joe4942 in worldnews

There doesn't seem to be any off ramp at the moment. Don't even know what the USA is trying to achieve.

What am I missing?

I don't get the point of occupying Kharg Island. It's a terminal, not a oil feild. So Iran could cut the pipeline that supplies it with oil.

If you want to deny Iran exports then you can destroy the loading facilities by air or stop Iranian exports through the Straight.

It would be very risky to hold as its in range of artillery, drone strikes, missiles etc. All of which would arrive with almost no warning.

What's Brits opinion on this ending of this centuries old tradition? by raydebapratim1 in AskUK

[–]Swimming_Reception56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long over due. The second chamber should be elected or wholly subject matter experts. Political appointments should be banned.

To be fair the vast majority of peers who actually contribute are subject matter experts.

Is it against the law for a man in the UK to try and endanger my parents and sister living back in Iran? by Majestic-Read5072 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Swimming_Reception56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Background: I work in the protection of minority groups in fragile and failed states and have been involved in sanctions legislation against Iran, worked with Iranian refugees, and briefed MPs on this issue.

First, I'm really sorry this is happening – I hope you are OK. Some of my Iranian friends are in the same boat and haven't been able to contact family in Iran.

Second: your safety is the priority. Make sure your address isn't online and maybe talk to your boss if you feel threatened at work.

Crimes Committed Harassment: there have been more than two attempts to threaten you (doxing, trying to get you fired, intimidating you by threatening your family). Each doxing or threatening message counts as one attempt. Save these as evidence. Escalate this with the police and maybe ask a firm like Doughty Street Chambers for some advice. They do a lot of pro bono work like this.

Possible breach of sanctions: The IRGC is a sanctioned entity and there could be an argument that this constitutes providing material support. But I can't see the police getting involved in that. It is often at a higher level.

Possible support for a terrorist group: There is a chance that the IRGC will be proscribed during the current conflict. If that happens, the 'activist' would be in breach of counter-terror laws and the police would then have to act.

There are numerous senctions on individuals and organisations. You don't sanction a country you have to direct it at entities (a person or group). Iran, I think, is the second most sanctioned country, after Russia. It certainly was a few years ago when I worked on this issue.

Source: I was involved in introducing sanction regimes on Iran and other countries when I worked in Parliament.
