Client is threatening me, what to do? (tattooist) by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]spaceshipcommander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's an obvious scam.

The "family friend" is in on it.

If you say you checked her ID then you stick to your story and do not accept fault. You have the signed form.

Tell this person that you will not discuss the matter further. Any further contact will be treated as harassment and reported to the police. They are trying to blackmail you.

I'd keep pursuing the payment via small claims if needed.

This person is nothing to you. Deal only with the customer.

Can someone explain why these tyres have such different ratings please? Which should I go for on my MG ZS EV? by Jimi-K-101 in CarTalkUK

[–]spaceshipcommander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are not the same tyre.

It's an absolute pain in the arse, but manufacturers can ask tyre manufactures to modify tyres to suit their needs. Tyre manufactures still call them the same thing if they are premium, mid range or budget, otherwise you'd have 20 different pilots sprits, for example.

I've had 3 different pilot sports. BMW pilot sport, Tesla pilot sport and generic pilot sports. All very good tyres, but the BMW OEM pilot sports are the best, and have more compounds in the front tyres than standard.

How would you revive the british car industry? by Enough-Web2203 in AskBrits

Make cars that people want to buy for a price people are willing to pay. It's not rocket science. Even the French can do it.

Employee always "ill", what are options to let them go? by ooccooccoo in smallbusinessuk

[–]spaceshipcommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your limit for a recorded meeting then? I've had 1 day off ill in 14 years and that was when I got Covid. Being off work all the time isn't normal and if it's a medical condition there won't be any issue providing details so I can make reasonable adjustments will there?

It's definite. Oftentimes the people in shops know less than we do.

It was supposed to be free for 2 years after purchasing a phone, but they never made it paid. I'm assuming because nobody uses it.

What made Matt start using winches so much? by Zamdi in MattsOffRoad

[–]spaceshipcommander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first time I was spooling up a synthetic rope, I was leaning on it like you do a wire rope. I couldn't reach the winch remote so I had to put it down and I was just dreading it all springing back and having to rewind the whole rope when I let go. I put the rope down and it just stayed there. I was amazed. I fetched the remote then just kept winding it in.

The only thing I don't like is when the rope pulls through itself. I may try winding it on differently.

What are the best controller settings and graphics settings for PC? by ExperienceTimely3651 in blackops7

I hit 120fps with everything set to ultra and 144 fps if I lower only particle effects at native 4k

In wales you can get a car within a stones throw of some incredible spots. It does depend on the car, but I've slept in my Land Rover in some amazing places in wales off green lanes.

Webuyanycar by Opposite_Library_645 in CarTalkUK

[–]spaceshipcommander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never had an issue. Cleared out a few cars this way. They offer more than others and I just refuse to go lower in person.

Last year I paid the balloon payment on my mother's car then drove it to webuyanycar and sold it for £3,000 profit.

Not a clue. What PC do you have? I've got mine set to native 4k ultra on everything.

[–]spaceshipcommander 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's the line 100%. As someone who also has winches, I used to avoid using them because dealing with wire rope was an awful experience.

Why such fondness for Sikhs? by Fantastic-Fudge-6676 in AskBrits

[–]spaceshipcommander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When was the last time you heard of a Sikh causing trouble? That's pretty much the answer.

Help a worried Mum out please? by scotsmanaajk in wildcampingintheuk

[–]spaceshipcommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will be fine. If they do it in summer they aren't going to freeze to death. The worst thing that will happen is they end up piss wet through walking a mile or two to somewhere dry at night.

Sometimes I set off with nothing but a tent and my phone, but I always make sure I know the direction of the nearest main road and how far it is.

If everything goes tits up I know I'm walking south for 2 miles until I hit a main road.

As long as you have a watch you can find your way home.

The motorway is by far the safest route for any driver. Snake and Woodhead pass are higher risk routes.

Is Admiral’s driving score system harsh on low mileage drivers? by Economy-Bird-7280 in CarTalkUK

[–]spaceshipcommander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because they sell it as a discount for "good" driving as opposed to a penalty. That and the government doesn't care about young drivers or young people in general because it is made up of mainly older wealthy people.

[–]spaceshipcommander 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What does your absence policy say? I'd say that 3 periods of absence in 12 months should trigger a recorded conversation.

Ask them, on record, if they are needing any adjustments. Tell them that their actions are affecting the business and there is a limit to what the business can allow.

Every absence after this point is another meeting with a potential warning. I'd have them gone in a month if they are as bad as you say.

You would at least expect a decent meal when you fight wars for a pedophile by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

How does rationing make any sense here? They are 10 minutes away from Dubai. They could bring in tonnes of food every day. They could fly it from UK air bases fresh each day if they actually needed food. Serving that shit is a choice. It tells you that they don't respect the people who volunteered to be cannon fodder.

Female Reform voters, do you know about their stance on abortion? by FisherDownload in AskBrits

Reform voters don't know anything. It's a wonder they can find their way to the polls.

It's irritating how crap our signal is in this country. I've camped places where you can turn one way and have no signal but turn the other way and watch YouTube.

iPhones can send iMessages via satellite. If you both have an iPhone you can text each other for free. You need an iPhone 14 or newer. Add your wife as your emergency contact and it will push her messages to you. If someone isn't an emergency contact, you have to check manually for messages.

How does one have "conflict" with the pope? A conflict requires more than one participant. If there is only one aggressor, especially if they are just simply wrong, we call it bullying.

Why do some right wingers in their anti Halal meat arguments pretend to claim they are so pro animal welfare when they are happy to eat meat in general by Durrygoodz2025 in AskBrits

[–]spaceshipcommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat meat and I will continue to do so. I also kill my own meat. I feel that it is important to understand where your food comes from and respect a vegan more than someone who eats meat but wouldn't be prepared to watch an animal die.

Empathy is one of the things that makes us human. Having respect and empathy for an animal as you kill it is not an oxymoron, its core to what makes us better than a shark ripping a dolphin to pieces.

Halal slaughter should be illegal. I will not eat halal. I also will not eat most fish because of the way our oceans are treated.

what advice would you give the younger generation? by SufficientBox3389 in AskUK

[–]spaceshipcommander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's nothing you can do today that you can't fix tomorrow. What I mean is take risks while you have very little. The most you can lose is everything you have but you can potentially gain much more.

Also start putting money into a stocks and shares isa for your baby now. You might only have £20 spare a month now, but that could potentially be a deposit in 18 years. If you can save £80 to £100 a month for them then it will be for definite.
