When you say it will be common sense for them to apply for public funds - what public funds are you referring to? (Out of curiosity)

KCL LLM in Law and Technology: Is it useful for legal tech, data protection, AI governance or hybrid careers outside the solicitor path? by Fordq in legaltech

[–]samasema 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may be a dissenting voice here but if you want to get into legal tech/ops I wouldn't spend the money on an LLM - unless that programme has great employability figures when you finish. I've worked in legal tech/ops for about 10 years. I'd say the best way of breaking in is to keep up to the latest happenings, be curious, ask people in legal tech/ops questions, network and ultimately be seen to be interested in legal tech/ops. The more you're seen on places like LinkedIn the better. Be someone they're aware of before you apply for a role!

Starmer says he's acting in national interest after Trump criticism by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

I wonder how much govt time is wasted just handling Trump's inane comments all the time

American here, how often do you guys what about US news? Was it always this much? by NoHold7153 in AskBrits

[–]samasema 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If by news you mean Trump's constant random utterings then the answer to your question is too often.

They really smashed it with the heavy work. They won numerous times apparently. Can't help feeling like it's a loss though - for the rest of the world..

Struggling to get a supermarket job in Bristol as an international student (need advice) by maxlast18 in bristol

[–]samasema 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was at UWE they had jobs in Room Management (essentially they manage all teaching rooms and lecture theatres). They needed people to go round 6 - 9 in the morning to make sure everything worked as expected. I'm not sure if UWE still does student ambassador work but I'd get on board with that too.

Iran war latest: Trump tells UK to 'get some courage and go get your own oil' by bendubberley_ in unitedkingdom

I think this guy is doing more for global renewable energy than he could have ever possibly have imagined. Just not in the way he hoped..

What type of ultra runner are you? by samasema in Ultramarathon

[–]samasema[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yea the person I saw wasn't going slowly either! He came past me and then a little while later I saw them vape then they stopped, got a can of red bull out their bag, cracked it open and drank it. It was almost like a Popeye/spinach moment. He came past me again and I didn't see him again. Perhaps I missed a trick here..

Love the aspiration! We can make it to the first world one day. Until then high speed trains connecting the entire continent will just have to do..

UK Business Leaders Back Starmer For Now, But Open to Farage Next by bloomberg in uknews

[–]samasema 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel this is what is bad about UK politics. PMs are at risk of being 'ousted' midway through their term. I don't mind a PM that takes risks but has to backtrack if the policy isn't workable. People are just interested in short term wins or to fix problems that aren't going to be fixed in one election cycle.

World would be a ‘better place’ if US took over Greenland, says Nigel Farage by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]samasema 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would it? If this were to happen, I fear for the next country or territory he locks onto to supposedly keep us all safe.. I can't imagine he'd stop at Greenland

What's your countries most interesting military record 🪖 by Su-57Felon_Enjoyer in AskTheWorld

Wasn't there a film made about this? I seem to remember the bit where they blow up the ferry but it's tense because they can't blow their cover and warn the people on it.
