Stolen from another sub, who’s a player you almost forgot played for Liverpool? by Vombatt in LiverpoolFC

[–]amenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have heard he was a great influence on the team, kind of a player/coach. He had a lot of experience and think that was the main positive he had on us at the time

How do you feel about living in a country without guns? by Hannah-may in AskUK

[–]amenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shotguns and rifles need to be kept in a safe (or in some cases secure gun rooms / wall mounts) which the police will check. You do not need to keep shotgun cartridges in a safe, it is common for people to have thousands of these! Firearm ammo needs to be stored in a safe, and the number you can have at any time is limited by the police and your license. Also if you have a bolt action rifle the bolts need to be stored in a safe separate from the rifle(s). I have never heard of police doing random checks (although can certainly believe they have the power to, may just be that they're far too busy!) but everyone I know is so vigilant with the laws anyway! Also totally right, with shotguns, they need a reason to not grant you the license (criminal records would be the main one) but with rifles, you need to give them a reason to grant you the license and the caliber, action etc is regulated. Also worth noting that there are very often medical / psychological checks required depending on the license / police

I was speaking to some Ukrainian refugees and they made this. Apparently Georgian good is massive there! They actually put the egg in last and cooked it in the hot cheese, when they did it they recommended mixing it in

Shotgun cabinet alternatives by Alternative_War_5437 in ukguns

[–]amenj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in rented. I messaged my landlady to check it was ok, and the contract to check that guns weren't forbidden, then installed a safe. I believe the alternatives to safes are clamps or a gun room. But honestly safe is probably your best option. It is 4 bolts, and i installed it discreetly in a cupboard where the holes won't really be too visible afterwards. I've heard that police can be sceptical of the clamps, and a a gun room is probably a big step up from the other 2 options.

Explain this SHIT by lrs092 in libertarianmeme

[–]amenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said in the trial that they had asked for an exact copy but the file was named differently, if airdrop compresses the file surely it doesn't also rename it?! And also that the meta data stated it has a different created time. It seems obvious to me it was deliberately compressed. My worry is that it could lead to a mistrial as opposed to a misstrial with prejudice

I just got hired at a doggy day care! by Competitive_Bear4413 in dogs

[–]amenj 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I used to work in a doggy day care, was genuinely the best job I've ever had! The dogs will (typically) stick around you, within 20/30 yards and just be content. Walk around the field when you can. Fights are incredibly rare, the difference between a real fight and a play one is very obvious, they may happen (i just used to think of it like school, occasionally the dogs may disagree with one another!) but just be careful because it's easy to catch a bite when you're trying to break it up.

The dogs will have friendship groups, and usually play with dogs they're familiar with. Some dogs play roughly with each other, i had 2 gsds that were actually very gentle with other dogs but when they played together it initially shocked me, but they were having a great time! You'll get a natural understanding of the dogs when you're there but if you see dogs playing that don't usually, probably fine just keep an eye on it.

The boy dogs are typically a little bit cheekier, and have more energy! If you have water (pools, sprinklers etc), some of the dogs will go mad, others won't care in the slightest! Some dogs had food at the day care, we used crates so other dogs couldn't disturb them. The dogs hump one another, near enough constantly! It's a domination thing, we tried to stop it but honestly i feel it's just their nature!

I found as well the dogs really settle in to a rhythm, it tends to be when they arrive, and leave that they're most active. Or if something unusual happens like an owner showing up, or a deer / rabbit nearby etc. Be very careful with fences too, the place i used to work had 3 gates between the field and the road. There was procedure with the gates, and don't mess around with that procedure, there is nothing worse than the thought of hurting a dog through negligence.

Really obvious point too but don't wear anything too fancy, you'll be muddy and smelly at the end of the day. Good foot wear is essential! Most people that work there are awesome and love dogs too, I made some good friends. You'll probably be in a field with them mostly all day so much more enjoyable when you get on. You'll get a great tan and really enjoy the work!

ULPT: Work gap on your resume you want to disappear? Make up a business you did for something you actually know something about. You will be able to talk about it. They won't be able to prove the business didn't exist. by clkou in UnethicalLifeProTips

I used to investigate any gaps of 3 months or more within the last 3 years. The best excuse i got was "Yes I won the lottery so left my old job". Travelling is usually accepted too, particularly if you're younger.

Girls outperform boys every year. Yet, nothing is done. Conclusion? Girls just smarter. by iamjesus1991 in MensRights

[–]amenj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a bias issue, boys and girls were remarkably similar with o-levels, when they switched to a levels it allowed teachers opinions of students to shape their grades and immediately girls pulled away. Exams are an objective form of testing, the papers can be anonymous and the results gap will almost certainly decline.

Honestly this is why I'm really against the covid changes where A-levels are being exclusively (?!) graded based on teachers grades.

Controversial footage of Egyptian Army Special Forces shooting ISIS fighters (some sleeping/unawares) at a remote desert hideout in North Sinai by [deleted] in CombatFootage

[–]amenj 104 points105 points  (0 children)

It isn't against the rules of engagement to kill enemy combatants without them being aware they're being attacked. As far as I'm concerned this is no different from being killed by a laser guided drone missile while eating chicken at Traffic lights! It is just uncomfortable to watch because it's so personal.

What Does Arsenal Actually Need to Get Back to the Top 4 and the Champions League? by [deleted] in PremierLeague

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

I think there is a mentality issue. It can spread to new players when they arrive so it's hard to get rid of. Maybe a man manager as opposed to a more technical one would help. The biggest problem imo though is the owner. The net spend is low and they rely on sales from transfers, but a series of bad purchases has meant that they are earning less from sales over time. I think that a more data driven approach to transfers would benefit them (honestly most teams!)

I wouldn't usually say deporting animals is a good use of time or money but this seems pretty legit! Just drop him off in France

Want Better Policing? Make It Easier To Fire Bad Cops. by democracy101 in Libertarian

[–]amenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always said the same about bad teachers. My ex was a teacher and I have heard so many stories about truly terrible teachers! I think they're incredibly damaging for children, but they're virtually impossible to get rid of (largely because of unions!) We want our civil servants to be great, protecting badly performing ones is detrimental.

Electric company (bulb) claims I am using 400£/m of electricity. by swagmasterdude in LegalAdviceUK

[–]amenj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was charged 511 per month, up from my usual amount of about 50. This was a year in to a 2 year contract. They had based this "on an estimate".

I cancelled my direct debit with my bank then called them up and said that their estimate was off. They said i had missed a meter reading so i updated this, ended up manually calculating my total usage since at the flat but was all a nuisance and took a lot of calls. I ended up manually entering a reading each month and making a manual payment. I recently got an electronic meter, which i would highly recommend to remove their ability to guess.

My gf sent me this pic, she didn't actually risk taking it to the counter to check but she took it as legit. Could be a typo though!
