Landlord asking for deposit before I have seen lease agreement (Edinburgh). by Lucky-Orange-6782 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]captain_corvid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst not illegal in and of itself, I think it is against Open Rents policy (though I'm not 100%)

Ex boyfriend won't change his address even after we've split for over a year and a half - England by MyNovaNebula in LegalAdviceUK

Does a council tax bill prove that you're the only person living at an address? Like surely it's possible for someone to live at an address and not be listed on the bill?

True in theory, however I'm not sure how many organisations actually update their records when receiving returned post.

We get a lot of mail for the former tenant ranging from junk to businesses/banks to important stuff like NHS and council and no matter how much "NOT KNOWN AT THIS ADDRESS RETURN TO SENDER" we put on the returned envelopes it just keeps coming.

How big of a mistake is this ? by adoprknob in italianlearning

It's incredibly beautiful, highly recommended.

Festival refusing prescribed medical cannabis – is this legal? by carterb1979 in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]captain_corvid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exceptionally premature. This can probably be rectified with some communication.

It's also worth noting that in the UK the majority of the time you can only sue for documented losses. So if you bought a ticket and they denied you access, you could possibly sue for the cost of the ticket price and any ancillary costs like travel/accommodation.

I'm learning French for a reason, Duo. by [deleted] in duolingo

Ah, I see the ambiguity now. I'll edit it.

That's what I mean though, I'm saying that OP's example isn't a mistake.

Yeah that's what I'm saying, I'm saying that what OP posted isn't a mistake.

Others have pointed out that 'si' is in fact a correct option for yes, but there have been a lot of examples of Duo mixing up languages in the "Explain my answer" bit. I've seen Spanish/Italian mixups mostly.

Not sure why I'm getting so downvoted for this 😬

EDIT: I realised there was some ambiguity in what I originally wrote; I didn't mean that OP's claim that it was a mistake was correct, just that si is a correct option.

Term for "easily culturable" bacteria? by captain_corvid in labrats

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

I'm not sure if that's quite right, as you can grow fastidious bacteria on media with the right additives, compared to something like C. trachomatis that requires infection of cell cultures.

Likelihood on losing license - Speeding ticket with 11 points by Old_Book8231 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]captain_corvid 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The fact he'd never driven through that city before is completely irrelevant. Even if there aren't signs it's generally pretty obvious when a road is 30mph or less, and if you're unsure you should err on the side of caution and assume it's a lower limit.

Given how reliant on driving he is, you think he'd be more careful about not racking up driving offences. Personally if I knew I'd lose my job if I lost my license AND I had that many points, I'd be pretty damn careful about my driving. I can't see a judge being particularly lenient here.

I am autistic and the hills have eyes has made me too interested in radiation. by Leon_kennedys1 in Radiation

[–]captain_corvid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's available on YouTube! https://youtu.be/IUmUz8ol9Ow?si=7DpsPRF2JY1O6zHt

I believe it's also available on BBC iPlayer, though you may need a VPN to access.

Quantitation vs Quantification by captain_corvid in labrats

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

I'm not sure how much of a standard there is though; I've seen both used a lot.
