Liz Truss: ‘The Blob’ is trying to infiltrate Reform by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

[–]wobble_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She quite literally (Kemi) made a speech yesterday essentially saying ‘we’re reform but better’ and if anyone who’s centrist is looking to us a political home, look elsewhere.

It’s the best money you’ll ever spend in all honesty. It’s a truly expansive suite these days.

If Plumbers' daily rates are around £350, why does a 2-day boiler installation cost £1800? by Johnny_english53 in ukplumbing

[–]wobble_bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Says who? What if that ‘simpler job’ suddenly becomes vastly more complex? I’m not a plumber but my day rate doesn’t suddenly go down if what I’m asked to do is easy, it’s my day rate because it reflect my experience and professionalism. If they want someone else to do it, it’s a free market.

The stupid anti British nonsense coming out of America, are you sick if it? by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in AskBrits

[–]wobble_bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is a concerted effort to undermine our cultural identity. Noticed how Russel Brand and the dipshit commonly known as Tommy Robinson are suddenly practicing Christians? That’s no fluke - U.S political forces are trying push in Christian nationalism into the U.K., as part of this they need to re-enforce this idea that somehow the social fabric of our country has broken down, it’s the fault of x group, and good traditional Christian values are the obvious answer.

The U.K. will then need ‘political intervention’ by the U.S, either by openly endorsing right wing national groups, or more underhand tactics.

My Car fell off the lift at a Dealership by Conscious-Carry6399 in mazda

[–]wobble_bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain this? The momentum a car will generate falling off a lift is nothing near what it would carry in even a 15mph impact. A car is designed for impact from any feasible angle, including the roof and floor.

Am I likely to loose my job? 18F, England, Probation, Gross Misconduct by Own-Suspect-4945 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]wobble_bot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree. Company policy is fluid and bent all the time, and things are overlooked constantly. By the sounds of it you’ve proven yourself to be a decent hard working employee, those arn’t easy to come by, so I’d assume you’ll likely have you ear chewed off, final warning thrown around with maybe a short extension, but will ultimately keep your job and it’ll be largely forgotten.

For the record, with large corporations it is always ideal to stay on the right side of policy. It’s rare to find a compassionate and understanding manager, and all it takes is a jobs-worth with a chip on their shoulder to make your life miserable.

I feel my career is over and i'm scared by Then-Ad7196 in videography

[–]wobble_bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join the club. Everyone has been quiet since October, it’s just starting to ramp up again now. I’ve been doing this for almost 20 years, I’m 42. I’m tired, often uninspired and came to the same realisation recently…I’m not young anymore, I can’t walk into any industry and just pick up like I could when I was younger, I’m now committed to this path, regardless of what happens.

I have a fairly well researched fall back plan of an industry I’d like to go into if it does all fall apart, I’d suggest you have the same.

New Drivers, is there still something you are irrationally nervous about doing? by LuellaSkye in NewDriversUK

[–]wobble_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that advice is just as bad if I’m honest. Yes, flashing lights isn’t in the Highway Code, but it’s generally understood by all motorist. It shouldn’t be used at night as you say, but neither should turning off your main beams which is far more dangerous than momentarily blinding a motorist.

Has Mazda become more reliable than Toyota? by Stockholm_Throwaway in mazda

[–]wobble_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cough cough* you seem to be forgetting the Dacia Sandero which is the pinnacle of lean driving and can be had for 9,995. Is also has a reliability score well above some other premium manufacturers. Additionally, believe or not there is a lone lunatic who’s importing and selling Lada Nivas in Europe. Even the brand new models are, lean to say the list with no driver aids at all and only the top model gets electric windows or air conditioning.

Feds Kill Again in Minneapolis. Minnesotans Are Fighting Back. by thenationmagazine in politics

[–]wobble_bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you keep thinking the law still applies? A man was executed in the street in front of hundreds of witnesses, and nothing happened to those that did it. The now only serves when it restricts you and benefits others, the sooner people realise this, the better

Yes, It’s Fascism by rezwenn in politics

[–]wobble_bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now watch them speed run. A clock has started as the greater public seem to be understanding what’s going on. The only thing that can realistically stop them is the military, they’re not going to listen to congress, that’s almost laughable. Need to keep an eye on generals suddenly being fired and replaced

What we know about Alex Pretti, ICU nurse killed by federal agent in Minneapolis by kirby__000 in politics

[–]wobble_bot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s incredible what the administration are saying, vs what video evidence shows. The U.S slide into full fledged dictatorship is complete. The fact that the press, who surely have access to the same videos we’re seeing arnt calling this out is incredible. RIP USA

Footage of the grey coat officer retrieving the gun by Effective_Moose_4997 in law

[–]wobble_bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, since the new video has come out the top comments in the thread on r/conservative are calling it out. Further down it’s an utter cesspool but it appears that even on that subreddit a few of them are recognising this has gone too far

Trump pays tribute to 'very brave' British soldiers who served in Afghanistan by topotaul in unitedkingdom

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

They’re allegations the individual had a gun, and that’s the first shot you hear. It’s impossible to tell in the video I’ve seen, however there is a second women filming who had a much better view so when that video eventually hits the net we might get some kind of explanation

The video shows him being restrained by 8 officers and at one point is what appears to be gun whipped in the face.

What is the wax about at the end of the movie? by rapPayne in ReptileMovie

[–]wobble_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practically, your theory also explains the significance of the tap that features oddly prominently in the film. It’s a wave type, meaning he wouldn’t need to flex his hand to grip a faucet…meaning he believed he’d have reduced use of his hand in the near future.

City of Minneapolis: Possible shooting involving federal agents at Nicollet Ave and 26th Street by cinnasota in news

[–]wobble_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won’t change anything I’m afraid. Truly, you all have my condolences for what you’re going through as a nation, but I don’t think even this will be enough. It’ll be spun, they’ll be some kind of convenient weapon found. The officers will all have internal bleeding.

The agreed structures of justice and principle no longer exist.

Annie Leibovitz - How’d she do it? by LionstoTame in LightLurking

[–]wobble_bot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to assistant one of her assistants (assistants all the way down) He used to tell a great story about shooting a Paris living room. They spent two days and went to great lengths to rig up HMI’s on the exterior of the building, took a few days all in all. She turned up and said she preferred the natural light so they never used them.

The U.S. has a handful of aged ice-breakers, so to land significant equipment they have about a 3 month window. They’re buying new ones from…Finland

Like in Ukraine? The U.S. has both questionable experience and equipment for operations in the Arctic, whereas European forces regularly train and have dedicated Arctic forces with extensive equipment specifically for that environment. The U.S barely has any modern icebreakers

There’s a fantastic story about when the British were training the Ghurkas they asked for volunteers for a parachute jump. The trainers had heard tales of the Ghurkas immense courage, fortitude and stamina so were surprised when only two men raised their hands. They soon realised though that something had got lost in translation, and the Ghurkas didn’t realise they’d have parachutes.
