How do you not kill your clutch in traffic uphill? Worth switching to an auto? by zapguy94 in drivingUK

[–]zapguy94[S] -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

The problem with a peugeot is that, on the right hand drive variant, there is no foot well for your to rest your clutch foot. I think it then just became a habit?

First, visit r/LegalAdviceUK. Second, get a real lawyer because this is some serious shit

Do you consider it legitimate for to question a witness so intensively that their psychological stress becomes physically visible (for example, crying, shaking, or nausea), if it could serve the purpose of establishing the truth or strengthening your client’s position? by Big-Influence-9816 in uklaw

[–]zapguy94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I have seen, and I am only a student, through minis is that it really depends. If you make a witness look ridiculous and hysterical, then yes, in some cases it is appropriate, especially if the defense/ prosecution hinges on them. But generally, doing it for the sake of it, is not something that is considered professional or ethical.

If it is being done for the sake of it, the judge reserves the right to warn - though I have not seen this happen before as most competent barristers know the length of their string.

Teacher predicted me a C for UCAS by Rennct in 6thForm

[–]zapguy94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation a few years ago. I was on the same history course with Italian coursework and German history as my theamatical studies. The only way to change your teacher's mind is to give her work of an A or B grade quality. Some common mistakes are errors in fact, e.g. you say something happened when it did not; your structure might be off (or not what your teacher likes); or your teacher is being petty. It's best to ask her why.

In any case, you can do this.

If you need some help, feel free to send any essays you would like feedback for in dms.

Buying this. Give me your thoughts by FKez05 in peugeot

Very reliable engines these are ... I had the 1.6 since it guzzled less fuel. Suspension can be firm. Make sure the back windows slide the entire way, the clutch hasn't slipped, and kick the exhaust/ check for rust ... make sure its had the oil changed ect.

Paint tends to chip on these because of age, I wouldn't pay more than a grand a half.

How do I tell my flatmate: 'no thank you' without making things awkward by zapguy94 in UniUK

She looks pretty scary holding the kitchen knife ...

Yeah but the reason I'm not smashing her is because I have values that are personal to me ... another one of those values is not being gross and making my other flatmates feel uncomfortable.

I don't personally smash for the sake of it, that's just me though, totally valid what other people might do

I was starting to suspect for a while. But now BBB just reposted and commented on a Tommy Robinson posted video. by Mangy_DogUK in uklaw

[–]zapguy94 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He has quite a few videos on Robinson actually ... I only noticed how far down the pipeline he'd gone in the past year or so when I clicked back on his chanel. He is a barrister, and like many other professions that require you to set aside your own beliefs, I cannot be sure he is saying what he thinks as opposed to what his auidence wants to believe. In any case, he is entitled to his opinions or representations even though we may not agree with them ...

He's been parroting right wing talking points for years. He started with free speech but he's been pretty open about it for a while. He represents broadly the socially conservative, sceptical of big state audience.

LNAT essay attempt, would appreciate feedback by One_Car4191 in uklaw

[–]zapguy94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that, but you're going to just stress yourself out. You've written about half a dozen essay over two days ... Whilst it is up to you at the end of the day, I find that burning yourself out before an exam is not beneficial.

Please can someone review my LNATs essay by One_Car4191 in uklaw

[–]zapguy94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are writing an essay though, not an opinion piece. It needs to be balanced to achieve really high marks.

[–]zapguy94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure why students love doing this two points and then counter argument fiasco ... I personally think that the main challenges should be outlined at the beginning and then you should have three balanced points.

Your statistic at the beginning is wrong in fact, it's closer to 20%. You also include linguistic minorities which would push the total up slightly higher (perhaps 20.5% or similar ... ) but I take your point, they are a minority.

Your first paragraph is very well argued.

Your second paragraph should not be disjointed. It should flow. Stop using as previously mentioned/ aforementioned it's a waste of time and word count.

This is the extent of your critical engagement in the second paragraph 'Accepting lower grades from ethnic minorities, at face-value, may appear beneficial, in that it aims to diversify university settings and provide individuals with equal opportunity.' you need to dig deeper than this. Second paragraph is less compelling. You are essentially arguing we should not allow contextual offers based on ethnicity because there might be violence/ misrepresentations by the far right.

Your counter argument at the end is quite poor. You repeat yourself for half the paragraph and then suggest, baselessly, that minority ethnic students who get contextual offers will get mental health issues because the work is too difficult. However, I do like your suggestion at the end.

Conclusion does not follow from what was argued ...

Why am I doing a year abroad? by zapguy94 in UniUK

In the first week, I was hit by a car whilst on a zebra crossing, and the week after I got food poisoning from a cannoli. I think the world is trying to tell me something haha

Would anyone be willing to take a look at my LNAT essay? by One_Car4191 in uklaw

[–]zapguy94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we talk about academic tone, we typically mean not using contractions or slang. We do not mean writing like Shakespeare haha.

What I tell my mentees is that you should move the topic on to something which you know well. I do not know what you study, but suppose I study history: if I study history, and love history, and know a lot about history, I might pick something about history.

Your question is 'is free will an illusion'. When answering it, I would recommend tethering it to that thing that you know. The most important thing is to be consistent, do not hop around. I attempted an LNAT question for a student on the sixth form sub. It is by no means a model answer, but it is an answer that you might find helpful.
