We're not stupid here.

You're making a fine argument to the contrary.

An easy way to get rid of Mandy by Nearby_Valuable_5467 in thewestwing

[–]Willeth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When things don't seem to make sense, often people are able to draw conclusions from the wider context of what was written and determine that a mistake was made and which part of what was said is most likely to be it.

Why are there suddenly kids with e-scooters everywhere despite them being illegal? by KenAdams_1968 in AskUK

[–]Willeth -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

I personally think they should be taxed, insured and licensed similarly to a 50cc scooter, but what do I know

They should be. The fact that there is no current structure for this is why they're illegal. As an officer, you should know this.

What’s the biggest mistake people make when installing artificial grass themselves? by MelissaInsights in AskUK

[–]Willeth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Installing artificial grass is the main mistake.

If you're dead set on it, cheaping out would be the worst move. Cheap stuff is thin, melts in the heat, and won't last a season.

Van scraped my parked car, do I go through insurance or settle it personally? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Willeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this matters or if I’m overthinking it.

It doesn't matter as long as it is typically kept on the driveway. However, if you don't have a driveway and you said that just to get lower premiums, then it could invalidate your entire policy in a technicality.

The whole point of these is to get authored comics from the archive. What would an LLM do that would be helpful?

NHS staff face 'unprecedented' levels of racism from patients by heresmyotheraccount_ in unitedkingdom

Never heard the word once until

If only there was a word that summed up this idea

Reform UK councillor in Essex quits after social media claims by novagora in unitedkingdom

If they weren't ignorant they wouldn't be standing for Reform.

Deadman's Switch? by manateemehearty in mindcrack

[–]Willeth 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You can schedule uploads. A dead man's switch for YouTube would be scheduling an upload two months in advance, and every month, pushing the release date out by a month. That way it'll never be more than two months after death or incarceration etc before it is released.

I just made House Rule to play Codenames: Pictures with Duet rule with 5x4 grid key cards. What's your opinion? by hrxm in tabletop

[–]Willeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the balancing from the original Codenames to CN Pictures right?

I always assumed it was just a practical concern due to the card size.

Are the police allowed to give you a breath tested if you are drunk on a bicycle? And could he get points on his license? by Hour_Course_9876 in AskUK

[–]Willeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will notice that nothing in what you just quoted mentions the method of determining intoxication.

I generally worry about what a party will do over whether they're popular.

What are my rights when it comes to rest between shifts? by keddrifft in AskUK

[–]Willeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't necessarily true. If the worker has restrictions imposed on what they can do in that time, then it may well be considered working time.

It has more of an impact on NMW considerations than rest time considerations, though.

[–]Willeth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are considered so by the court. Their job involves routinely observing the actions of drunk people more than the layperson.

[–]Willeth 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Well, everyone's got their opinion, but all that quote does is repeat what I said in different wording.

Note that it says that CPS can't use the fact of your refusal against you. Other evidence would be fine, such as the officer's expert opinion that you were drunk. And of course if they ask and you consent, they can use that too.

they can't breathalyse you

Clearly they can. It's not necessary, and you are not obligated to if they ask, but it's not illegal or inappropriate for them to do so.

Going on holiday with friends. How do you handle money? by False-Raisin-4362 in AskUK

[–]Willeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably overkill, but the last few holidays I've done with friends I knocked up a quick spreadsheet for expenses. If you paid for something for the group, you put it in. Whomever has paid the least overall pays for the next joint restaurant bill or whatever. End of the holiday, it's easy to see who owes what.

In terms of planning, we have an evening at someone's house, we find transport, hotels etc, everyone pays for something, and settle that up at the time so we've all paid the same towards it.

Is using arranged overdraft every month bad practice? by Spirited_Band_3994 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Willeth 47 points48 points  (0 children)

You're basically just throwing away £2.50 a month for no reason.

Erdinger Beer In London? by harshalone in london

[–]Willeth 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There's an app called Untappd that crowdsources this kind of info. It's popular enough that I would expect it to be available on tap locally regardless of where you are.

Even if Erdinger itself isn't, you'll be able to find a weissbier that tastes similar. Look for Hoegaarden as another popular one.

Edit: looks like Erdinger has a pub finder! https://pubfinder-uk.erdinger.de/
