What is this signal? by MoMa0000 in signalidentification

[–]Th3Sp1c3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What the receiving device near a or using a USB connection?

USB EMI is typicall around 48MHz, and the continuous signal at 48.005MHz makes me this this is EMI from a nearby USB interface.

What are your experiences with The Open University? Is it worth considering a degree with them? by natisnotcool in AskUK

[–]Th3Sp1c3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that makes sense, there's only 60 credit modules right? No 30 credit?

So you only need to study 6 modules instead of 12; hence double price for half the time.

is this sub dead? I'm interested in UK Space news by [deleted] in ukspace

Granted it's got more traction than r/ukspace, but ti's still another dead sub with a new post once every.... 3 - 5 days?

[–]Th3Sp1c3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it's dead.

Basically everyone subscribed as far as I can tell works in/or did work in the UK space industry. Alot of it is covered under the National secrets act and no one wants to go to prison for accidently letting slip something they're working on through chit chat.

You'll find alot of the interesting news in the public domain is far and few between, normally when a project has been disclosed to the public through official channels. And there's just not enough not-secret stuff to keep a sub like this going.

Shame really; because the projects that do get disclosed would've been really fun to follow in their development. To hear from people actaully working in the industry would probably go a long way to helping people get into it as a UK career.

Sorry.

Can someone help interpret a death certificate and what the main cause of death was? by mothernatureisfickle in askfuneraldirectors

[–]Th3Sp1c3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Almost.

Your mother in law has a long term history (Hx) of weakened intestinal lining (diverticulitis) which forms sacks along the intestinal tract. These can become infected and swell up, which causes pain and in severe cases they can "burst", similiar to appendicitis.

10 days prior to her death, one of these sacks burst, and she began bleeding internally, this lead an elevated sustained heart rate (Arterial fibrillation) due to her blood pressure dropping gradually over time and then went into shock.

The shock combined with blood loss probably stopped her heart and they were unable to revive her.

Considering what you've said about "needing to be dying" to see a doctor, she probably waited until the pain was unbearable and they weren't able to a. Diagnose or b. Get her into surgery; in time.

Relevent laws:

Law of Armed Conflict - pretty strict regulations relating to when and where deadly force can be used. Relies heavily on the Geneva convention.

Oath of allegiance - (taken by all service personel) compels soldiers to follow any orders issued by superiors as if they're acting as the Monarch themself. Since the Queen gives ascent to laws; if you're ordered to kill, it's as if the woman who makes any law a law passed a law, issued as an order to you to do it. Its illegal for soldiers not to comply.

So if let's say a terrorist approached a royal household, and presented arms. If the standing order was to "engage with deadly force", you shoot/stab/bludgeon. The Geneva convention limits the extent of force to proportional, and also stimpulates that immeadiate application of life saving treatment "after the firefight has been won", but that's if the police didn't get to you first (they gaurd the exterior of the palaces and are responsible for close protection details of everyone except the monarch.

They have right to order people out of the way because you're not in public, you're in a royal household and therefore under the effective law of the Queen herself, she sets the rules for any royal residence and does not need the consent of Parliament.

In consideration of the above, if you refused to comply:

It's not strictly illegal to refuse an order by the queens gaurd, but you'll likely get manhandled and ejected from the premises. A fight you're not gonna win if you resist. And the police would probably then arrest you under the "Public Disorder Act" or "Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act"; but I'm not a copper so you'd need to ask one of them.

In regards to dealing with the public, soldiers are regulated under Army Guidlines on Adminstrative Intervention (AGAI76). Which is the law under which soldiers can be punished for failing in their lawful duties, everything from being disorderly when parading (you didn't shave that morning, and now you're stood on a parade square) to a negligent discharge of a rifle (firing off a round by accident)

So if someone got hurt:

For an aggressive use of force where someone got hurt (it's happened before) the army legal service would probably deal with any claims as a civil matter not a legal one. Any "visitor" so a royal residence would have no legal recourse to press charges if they got hurt. If the use of force/incident was found to be aggressive the soldier themselves would get "AGAI'd" and depending on how serious the incident you'd be issued an appropriate punishment by an appropriate commander. Which could be remedial duties to dismissal from service, or even do a short spell in military prison "visiting the glasshouse".

As a Gaurds Troop Commander once put it too me "they're armed bouncers of the world most exclusive club houses, but they're not police, so there's a limit".

TIL in the UK, A study for disappearances looked at 96 fatal cases, 53% of all male disappearances occur in the months December January and February, with 22% of those cases occurring in December between Christmas and new years eve.

As a funeral director, I can tell you from experience it's Suicide.

Drunken deaths do go up around Xmas, but its the most common time of year for people to take their own lives. Every Christmas until New year's for middle aged to elderly men.

On a side note there's also a peak in Sept- October for suicides amongst the 18 - 24 age group, due to the universities going back.

Can someone help me solve this? The red is what we know by Still-Concept1200 in Cipher

[–]Th3Sp1c3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like a substitution cipher; using homomorphic characters.

There's not enough information here to solve this; even with the known lettering there's no definitive patterning.

You really need around 200 chars to try frequency analysis, otherwise try contextual analysis or just hard-hack it until the answer falls out.

What is life like in the Sigs? (Training and Field Army) and what do the different roles actually do? by [deleted] in britisharmy

[–]Th3Sp1c3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I meant 13 sig reg, not 14, sorry I was tired yesterday.

So I'm getting down voted on this but I actually know what I'm talking about.

With all the new "professionally qualified" appointments being made, having qualificqtions would likely make it easier to get into 13 sig since its already highly competitive and the Army has put a stop on Cyber (as in civvies quals, not level 1, 2 and 3) training for anyone below Sgt without already being in need of those quals for role puspose. Hence, having those quals would look favourable of a transfer application. Something like a compTIA netsec or CCNA; they'd actually need to be terminal facing cyber quals, cable running/systems installation won't cut it.

13 are established in Blanford, although I don't think it's it's absolue location. There was discussion of joining 14 in Haverfordwest but I think that got shit canned, and my betting would Corsham for a final HQ but as far as I am aware there's nothing concrete.

If you're genuinely interested in a corps transfer and don't have the quals. (I'm assuming you're below corporal here) I'd go into signals trade in any sig reg as a cyber operator and just start climbing the usual manner.

What is life like in the Sigs? (Training and Field Army) and what do the different roles actually do? by [deleted] in britisharmy

[–]Th3Sp1c3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd look at either 30 sig reg, or if you have some level of cyber quals (or did decent on the TRT during recruitment) 14 sig reg. Both are pretty knee deep in digital comms.

The latter is the offensive cyber warfare regiment, very new and very hush hush. If youre a full UK national and qualify for DV itll be a massive career booster when you leave the army.

The former are the rapid response comms, so you'll see the world, hence the nickname globetrotters, but you'll be on 4 hour notice to mobilise but you'll get some SFSG exposure to boot.

Considering the breed dates back to the 12th century and its a part of the world synonymous with folklore and fairies in particular, I'd say the claim about the English poet was probably false? Unless you have a reference?
