+1, hope they do well, and 🙄 at the idea of british laws being consistent!

Look, I'm all for people researching other countries on Wikipedia, great on you!

I would just say that in very tense situations where the exact details of a law very much matters, the difference between different legal systems might be worth some consideration.

For example you link a useful police.uk document which lists a law whose wikipedia page mentions a different law applying in Scotland, where these people are.

It also links to a legislation.gov.uk page which has a "show geographical extent" feature on the left navbar. Applying this filter to the linked "Section 66" page, it shows "E+W" (England and Wales).

I'm aware that there is also some guidance about whether nipples are genitals, which might be relevant to the Scottish situation. And that nudists were specifically considered when writing some laws (as you mentioned, to protect them)

Just feel like trans people protesting in such a visible way, in a particular part of the UK, who will defininitely be featured in newspapers... it seems like they would have legal guidance from someone with a lot more local knowledge than, for example, knowing which countries comprise the UK?

Same but when you specifically ask for celcius/centigrade in the search prompt, and the first two pages of results either give the temperature in F or just as ⁰ without any units.

Deviant talked about a movie idea where setting off the sprinklers might actually be a better bet than fire call points when trying to escape a secure hospital in the US.

unironically the opposite?

But how else can it book requests for priority access, and verify the credit card for whoever booked the elevator?

Newark running a whole real busy airport like M. Bjoernstroem running his remote Swedish airport, wtf?

 

Thanks to poor engineering and Elon Musk, Tesla’s road rage-inducing street tank can’t even win over its core demographic: doomsday preppers

Assuming 4/10 is 4th October, shouldn't the day be written like "a.d. IV Non(as)" (4 days until the first kalend)

 

Any guesses for what chaos awaits us on this train?

Edit to add: This is not the ticket, it was printed alongside the actual ticket, after asking for seating preferences.

 

Apologies if not the normal format for this sub, but quite interesting to see what happens when someone with homemade license plates tries to visit a secure area.

 

Ficsit does not waste.

May be relevant to today's UK news, where local communities are having to teach this lesson again so many years later.
