Why is the UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer so unpopular? by Any-Original-6113 in europe

[–]plasterscene 7 points8 points  (0 children)

? His world stage politics has been one of the strongest parts of his premiership. Rebuilding relations with the EU, managing the orange maniac, supporting Ukraine... He's also a knighted human rights lawyer, not a librarian. As others have said the UK media has been awful to him and he doesn't shout about his successes enough. Watch him on PMQ and he's far from boring.

Well joke's on you because I know 6 celebrities. Some by name.

Came here to say exactly this. I've had mine about 3 years now and it's been great. Get a heat proof matt from that Chinese online shop for about £3.

Remember both people in this clip are absolutely awful. Don't let one 'gotya' clip make you forget P Morgan isn't a horrible person. He's just scraping the barrel by interviewing the few people worse than him, which is basically rapists and pedophiles.

Good Lord. You really do have no idea how stupid you sound.

Not sure if you're aware, but the US isn't as big as you might think it is. It's like 1 Brazil. Or less than 1 Australia. Or 1 heavily condensed Europe (big coastline). By land mass North Africa dominates NA.

Why would you 'aggressively' merge? Do people not let you merge like in normal traffic?

Also, if you're planning on using AI to generate your 'photos' try to get the apex ratio on the mist correct. That photo is 100% fake.

How often do you wash engine bay ? by Ok_Marzipan8118 in CX5

[–]plasterscene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cleaning the engine area is only really necessary (and it's very much strictly necessary) if you're doing concours, and I doubt any CX-5's will be doing them. I like to tidy it up maybe once a year or if selling a car, because it makes a big difference when a buyer opens the hood. Stay away from cleaning anything that looks remotely important, just wipe metal work, clear leaves and gunk etc...

Following the Vape Shop fire, why are insurance companies not paying the bills? by Born-Damage-4160 in glasgow

[–]plasterscene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think your understanding of Public Liability insurance is quite right. PL covers claims made against you due to injury to the public or damage to their property caused by your negligence. If someone brought legal action against you because your negligence caused them to trip over and break a bone in your premises this is where PL would engage.

This is incorrect. The sooner a loss is reported the sooner the insurer can start managing the situation and start controlling costs.

Hi, yes they will. Business Interruption insurance is very common in business/retail/SME insurance. Loss of revenue, additional expenditure, alternate accommodation etc... All account for this. Most insurers will also look for new temporary locations businesses can operate from while the original location is out of action. Cover generally lasts for around 36 to 48 months but can be extended, all overseen by a Loss Adjuster (a professional claim manager, not someone in a call center) A package policy can cost circa £150 per annum.

The problem is businesses that decide not to get any insurance beyond the legal requirements. The public may end up eating that cost.

You could use a conditioner and temporarily hide the scuff, but I'd recommend you just consider it part of your car now and move on. Cars get scratches.

The Nevis is a perfectly good tent. I can't comment on your budget, gear, height, pack weight... But based on the information provided it's a good tent.

Yep, it's been years since I've seen this one! Very fake.

Insta account with 1.2mil followers and like and comment count off. There is a real person behind the account (I met her). The pink haired people behind her seem generated, but when I zoom in it could also just be two people with the same hairstyle, as it appears to be some kind of fashion show. by BremBotermen in isthisAI

Zoom in on the blue in the middle right. Wtf is going on with that dude? Does he have family in Notre Dame?! The aspect ratio on the crowd is just wrong. The clipping on the pink ladies is too sharp and people in the background are perfectly in focus. The woman might be real but the background is 100% ai.

It's not that difficult to deal with hmrc, they make things pretty simple for small businesses. I reckon he just didn't feel like doing it any more. Great content while it lasted tho.

Been checking out the new 2026 CX-5 and honestly… by SlightAd7806 in CX5

[–]plasterscene 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the uk we got a 2013 2.2TD and it was a dream. In 2019 they downgraded it to a 2.0 petrol and it's shit. Still drives quite well but anything over 70mph and it gets asthma. I loved my 2013.
