    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    But you did take chances, you literally let them in and you spoke to them without a lawyer present. You even said one of them was about to take away some USBs, you claimed they deleted their bodycam footage. If you believe them to be corrupt then you put yourself at way more risk that way.

    Reddit is dying

    Was doing a bit of research on car auctions and "Reddit" appeared in the top few results, thought of this thread on OCUK and decided to take a look... sure enough the first result is just... WTF. Some guy seemingly agrees to sell his car to the dealer but hasn't signed paperwork yet so...

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    If the OP (the person they're after) steps outside to speak to them and closes the door behind him then on what grounds can they enter and search his home?

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    Eh? We're not living in communist China, if they don't have a warrant then they can't just force their way in to search your home. Simple; "I'd like a lawyer present". It's literally free of charge, they can arrange a time with you to come in for a formal interview under caution. Speak to the...

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    Absolutely don't talk to the police if you're a suspect, definitely don't let them inside in a case like that unless they have a warrant, only talk to them with a lawyer present.

    Alec Baldwin fatally shoots woman with prop gun on movie set

    Actually, now it's DEIB; diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging... sort of like the LGBT flag, they're starting to add to it. Maybe next year it can be DEIBC because someone wanted some brownie points for adding "and caring".

    Is this our fiveub?

    Looks like a pretty decent page to be fair. quite random, interesting things on there - something that looked like the inside of a plane is apparently a "normobaric chamber" filled with extra oxygen...

    Career advice?

    How do you know they didn't read the initial replies? Just because they don't want to carry on posting in GD or in the hardware sections doesn't mean they didn't have a genuine question here. Plenty of people - you guys are falling into a sort of knee-jerk response where something unusual ->...

    Alec Baldwin fatally shoots woman with prop gun on movie set

    You're the one who brought up woke - my claim was that the production had "cut corners with non-union people" and questioned if she was a diversity (or DIE) hire. Read what @Terminal_Boy has just posted again, why are you trying to pretend that wasn't my positon? And now you're going on about...

    Career advice?

    You guys are forgetting that OCUK is high on google search results, it's not uncommon for someone to make a first post in a non-computer subforum, especially if this came up high in a google search for career stuff. See just last month too, someone asked about degrees/degree apprenticeships...

    Alec Baldwin fatally shoots woman with prop gun on movie set

    So back then a post about how experienced and well-trained she supposedly was is seen by you as evidence for @Dis86 and myself talking nonsense. But now it's become quite apparent that she was indeed incompetent you want to pretend you didn't hold that position. If you do now in fact hold that...

    Career advice?

    But there was nothing obviously trollish about the OP, he laid out some pretty specific details, maybe he just didn't want to stick around on the forums beyond using this subform. It's only retrospectively, after he's not replied, that you can say oh that was a bit rude to not follow up or...

    Changing Roles and company

    I've got no clue about working at BAE so I'll just leave a short comment re: this snippet: It doesn't matter if specific employee benefit X worth £Y is reduced if you're getting paid way more - you can still make pension contributions yourself - if they offered you and extra £40k a year say...

    Alec Baldwin fatally shoots woman with prop gun on movie set

    Certainly has been a big issue with large fund managers, they call it "ESG" which is a bit broader and covers environmental stuff too though the trend (as with DEI and woke stuff in general - see also reversals of policies by US colleges re: SATs etc..) is falling off a bit now. There's been a...

    Alec Baldwin fatally shoots woman with prop gun on movie set

    This thread is quite funny to look back on - not only some people sticking up for the armored because her dad is well known but also trying to pretend that actors can't possibly have any responsibility at all. "I just made up a prediction and therefore can infer you are wrong" As for...

    Alec Baldwin fatally shoots woman with prop gun on movie set

    From earlier in the thread... Do we still think that this was a good/well-qualified armored or was she a bit of a nepobaby/diversity hire rolled into one and completely out of her depth? hmmm Would an ex-military SNCO or warrant officer in the positon of armourer have been too timid to...

    Micro plastic in water

    Yeah you're going to be exposed to some but you can certainly reduce exposure - IIRC plastic bottles contain 60 times the amount vs regular water. You can reduce it in regular water too via filtering or boiling + of course prepping food from scratch can always help too.

    Micro plastic in water

    Don’t come at me with semantic nonsense bro. :D Do you really need clarification that chemicals from plastic and micro plastics aren’t the same thing? No I don’t think you do, you’re smart enough to know better ergo the dowie arbitration service has focused on the pertinent issue. Yes plastic...

    Micro plastic in water

    @Richie thank for using the dowie arbitration service. It's quite apparent that andy is right and dlockers is wrong and is being rather silly about it as usual. See plastic water bottles are made out of... erm... plastic. And yes that does, in fact, create microplastics, in particular when...
