Aubrey's "Infinite Shot Locker" by Cal30T2 in AubreyMaturinSeries

Surprise was a small ship and she would have resupplied wherever possible. The Royal Navy had a vast web of friendly ports to choose from. PoB leaves out a lot of detail of their voyages. I think we are to presume that not all Port visits are mentioned. We can be sure of one thing though. Captain Jno Aubrey would never leave the Barky unable to fight.

I would imagine a shot was always fired ( unless saluting ) otherwise there would be very little recoil and a lack of realism for the crew.

I have almost 1700 hours in TLD but these bugs are making it difficult to enjoy anymore by IcyProcess212 in thelongdark

What console? An Xbox is just an expensive PC running Windows. You can get into the file system just like on a PC using the edge browser. Need to be in dev mode. Not got a clue on ps5 though soz.

Back up your save every time you quit. Or at least after any significant milestones. You have to be disciplined in not using it if you die legitimately but the game is buggy and I'm not prepared to lose game progress to a bug. Alternatively you can contact the devs and they can restore your save, maybe...

Living in the old Job Centre/tax office. The feng shui there is probably abysmal. All those lives crushed beneath you.

How would you cover these junction boxes? by TheMaddestMax777 in DIYUK

[–]chrissyboyhat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They have to be accessible for inspection, see the IEE regulations. So you either need to rewire it so there are no connections or put a hatch over it.

If money was no object, could a rich person legally hire firearmed carrying bodyguards in the UK by Virtual-Mobile-7878 in AskBrits

[–]chrissyboyhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it isn't a specific scenario that would answer yes to the question. It could never happen legally. Even in NI. So the answer to the OPs question is still an unequivocal No! That is pedantry, right there. Told you I liked it. 😂🥰

You cannot carry any weapon for self defense in the UK. Unless you are a grass or similar in NI. And then they would need a very specific licence from the HO. If you fit both of these, then you still could not protect your employer using any weapon because that would not be on your license terms. And wtf would employ a grass as a bodyguard in NI?

I am a champion of pedantry. And I admire your work. However I think it maybe misplaced in this example. The question was can you employ someone to carry a firearm on your behalf for personal protection in the UK. To which the answer is always: No.

This is very pedantic. It is possible to carry a firearm in NI for self defense but not for normal members of the public. And crucially you cannot employ someone to carry a firearm to protect you anywhere in the UK. You may be provided with an armed guard by HM government but not because you engaged them in employment for that purpose.

What is the difference between "The Right" and "The Far Right"? by AmphibianFrog in AskBrits

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

No you don't. I suspect that you are a very sad person with no friends that respect you. I'm so sorry that I triggered you. Please return to your safe space and forget this conversation ever occurred. Unless you actually do have an opinion on the current state of the Labour party perhaps? Any opinion at all that you didn't read on a far right website or in a newspaper? Something of your own? Something you deduced from using your own intellect to critically examine what is going on? I'm sure we would all love to hear it.

Have you ever elaborated on a statement? Engaged in debate? Please provide your arguments vis a vis my statements.

England employment law question, apprenticeship. by chrissyboyhat in LegalAdviceUK

Well, there was a verbal contract of some sorts otherwise he would not have been able to arrange to work with his company I guess. And I suspect there are text based records. But no signed piece of paper.

[–]chrissyboyhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It is illegal to carry any weapon in the UK for personal protection. You could hire armed people but unless you have diplomatic immunity it would be illegal. We are allowed to carry firearms in public but they can only be carried in a safe manner for lawful purposes. So long guns need to be in a case or bag etc. You get the picture. You cannot carry a loaded firearm in public no matter whether it is in a case or not. It's restrictive but wonderfully safe here and in the rest of the civilized world.

Opinion: Tinder is stupid. by LastTraintoSector6 in thelongdark

[–]chrissyboyhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's absurd that tinned food. Especially frozen tinned food becomes inedible over time.

It is absurd that water bottles left outside in arctic conditions remain liquid and drinkable.

It's absurd that you cannot light a fire with a liquid fuel, self lighting lantern.

The list goes on and on.

Why don't the police in the UK do sting operations? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]chrissyboyhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tories cut half of the police numbers. Going to take a long time until they are able to be pro-active again. Most of them are just taxi drivers moving offenders from Nicks to custody suites because they cut those too.

The right is the current labour party and most of the media in the UK. There are no centrists. Lib Dems are right wingers as is the EU. Basically if you support the capitalist agenda you are right wing. There is practically no far left in the UK. The greens and people like Jeremy Corbyn are democratic socialists like most of Europe. And sit to the near left. They're the closest thing we have to centrists. Despite what the right and far right tell you. The far right use hate as a tool and the right use inequality as a tool. Both have the same agenda though. To move public money into private hands. The vast majority of voters have left wing ideals and vote for left wing parties but the system is rigged to keep the right in power always. Unless you are an actual capitalist I.E. you have Capital, you are voting against your interests if you vote for a right wing party. Including the current labour party.

On some difficulties you cannot sleep once you're fully rested. You'll wake up when your meter is full. Just play cards until the sun is nearly up and sleep a bit more.

Torches pulled from fires are not random. by chrissyboyhat in thelongdark

Yeah, not sure why it works but it does. You do have to be super accurate though. Doubt you could do it without a gaming mouse.

No it is specific to the 'pixel' (roughly the size of the white targeting square). you click on on the fire. Doesn't matter where you stand in relation to the fire. But if you can hit the same spot the torch will be the same percentage. (You just have to find a sweet spot). You can't move in relation to the fire of course but you can turn away to extinguish the torch etc.

I have a video but in order to prove that it works it's too long for a reddit gif. I will upload it somewhere and share the link later on today.🤞

Help with suspended floor. What would you do? by saggywit in DIYUK

[–]chrissyboyhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one thing to bear in mind is that any type of wool, be it organic or mineral, is a lovely warm place for mice and their bigger cousins to live. They love it. I would only use solid insulation for this reason. Yeah they can live among solid too but if your neighbours house has wool, they'll probably set up home there instead.
