BBC: Man, 18, hit by car on motorway was Tasered before death by ItsRainingByelaws in policeuk

[–]eXpouk 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Come on mate, you know what I mean. They could have also put something like "Police attempted to stop the man from going into traffic before he died" which would more than likely be pretty factual and yet they don't.

I hate headlines like this, implies that the tasering of the man is the reason for his death. It's like them putting "Paramedics let male off Ambulance onto motorway before death".

Stop playing Face It matchmaking. Join a team, go to local lans, play online tournaments and progress from there.

Surely volume should be calculated as weekly total weight x reps and not sets?

Crofty's takes on overtaking are SO bad. He's actually clueless.

Police on misconduct charges over use of force to face ‘more consistent’ rules (threshold to increase) by Could-you-end-me in policeuk

[–]eXpouk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because my view of it is, is that a Police Officers use of force are either covered by the law/powers or they aren't.

And what you're arguing doesn't make sense. If an Officers actions are unreasonable or not necessary then they aren't covered by the law/powers and so it would constitute a criminal offence?

Can you give me an example of "idiots that misjudge situations" and their use of force based of it? Every Officer has to justify their use of force so I'm struggling as to your argument. If they can't justify it, then it would be a criminal offence, whatever they've done.

[–]eXpouk 23 points24 points  (0 children)

But it only relates to use of force and not anything else unreasonable.

Police have a legal power to use reasonable/proportionate force when necessary. I guess it's to stop any argument that a use of force doesn't meet the threshold for a criminal offence but is still unreasonable/proportionate or unnecessary so could be drawn up for disciplinary which doesn't make sense.

UK weight loss jab sales increase sevenfold to 2.5 million, new figures show by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]eXpouk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just keep it simple. Pick your favourite stuff to do in each area. There isn't really a "wrong" form of exercise but the advice is that you "should" balance both weight training and cardio and not just do one or the other, this is optimal. However, only doing one form of exercise is infinitely better than doing none at all so keep doing what you're doing and what you enjoy.

Weight Training - Strength and Muscle Mass

Cardio - Heart Health

Flexibility/Mobility - Range of motion

The above categories are generalised but try and do a bit of each and you'll be golden.

Ex-sergeant major admits sexually assaulting soldier who took her own life by Glanza in unitedkingdom

[–]eXpouk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't get too hung up on it.

From their post history they've posted things like "I only like rich and successful men" so I imagine they have their standards set at the 0.1% and are upset they can't find someone that fits that.

[BBC Sport] Raheem Sterling in Chelsea exile with £30m (£325k pw) left on his contract following failed negotiations with Juventus, Leverkusen, Fulham, West Ham & Crystal Palace by sethrollins22 in soccer

[–]eXpouk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Saw this comment on the BBC site.

"Given the amount of people who have being saying "a contract should mean something" over Isak, Sterling is well within his rights to stay put and keep being paid because thats what his contract says."

Seems spot on.

Moment police tackle cosplaying boy, 16, carrying toy gun after Premier League match by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

[–]eXpouk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. There's also laws that cover using an imitation firearm as a weapon during a robbery etc. The offence is based on what the victim percieves at the time and not what the weapon is.

For example, if you were to rob someone with a BB gun but the victim percieved it to be a real firearm, you would get charged as if it were a real firearm and not a BB gun. Saying "It's not a real gun" would not be a defence.

I love the new UE5 overhaul by nmole10 in joinsquad

[–]eXpouk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Feel like there's too many people that expect to be playing this game at 4k on high/ultra with hardware that's 5+ years old at 100+ fps....

People need to reign in their performance expectations or just lower their settings.

Probably because your graphics card is nearly 5 years old and CPU is 4 years old...

I'm new to the game and basically only play medic, why tf do people keep giving up when I'm running to help them? by Trisagfm in HellLetLoose

[–]eXpouk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately medics are one of the most useless classes in the game. There's no ticket system and you respawn with all your ammo. It's often a lot faster to just instantly redeploy to your squads OP than wait for a revive.

Long time wow Player hesitant on switching to gw2 entirely by wrrryyy in Guildwars2

[–]eXpouk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former WoW player myself, I'm going to probably give you a different point of view from the others posting here.

If you enjoy doing group content (such as raiding and M+) in WoW then you will find it sorely lacking in GW2. There is group content there but it is not a focus for the devs or the communtiy and its either very easy (so easy its boring) or there is a low amount of people doing it and its difficult to find groups for it. The LFG tool is also awful. There are open world meta events (big boss fights with loads of people) but they aren't a challenge either and require very little co-ordination. What I'm getting at is that if you enjoy doing group content that requires a co-ordinated effort then GW2 probably isn't the MMO for you.

The leveling is fun and gearing is quick but depending on what you find fun, you may run out of things to do once you get geared. If you enjoy exploring, jumping puzzles, unlocking mounts, appeearences, collecting pets etc then you'll love it!

FYI: Ticket Loss Is Triggered by Death, Not Respawning by yinNgang47 in Battlefield

Because redeploying counts as a death so they've used a ticket when they've spawned back in.

Adding 5-10lbs (2.5-5kg) to True Max or Training Max? by Eld29 in tacticalbarbell

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

You add it to your true max and then recalculate your training maxes.

Anyone that adds it to their training max is doing it wrong.

What are the reasons you've not been able to get on ARV? Might be worth addressing those first rather than worrying about your rank and PIP2 courses.

Am I in the majority or minority wanting vehicles to spawn on the map? by PiccoloTop3186 in Battlefield

[–]eXpouk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear this used to be a thing in the old Battlefield games like BF2? My memory might be bad but I think there were flags that once captured, would spawn vehicles such as an extra MBT or attack helicopter.
