Seems like it. Hard to know though how it actually feels given the scale of the building will be different, more realistic, from the start.

Perhaps if you want to enlighten people you should give more than short overly hostile replies to comments?

I have a water resistant smart watch and I take it swimming all of the time. I see lots of others swimming with smartwatches too. Smart watches are usually fitness tracker. I very much care that the watch is water resistant. I care more about that than having a user replaceable battery, which I’m unlikely to replace given that I never did when replaceable batteries were common in phones.

So are you going to produce any data to show that calling the police to someone’s house in the UK put them at a non negligible risk of being killed or injured by those police, or are you not?

Are you just going to keep assuming that America’s issues are universal rather than accept that America is broken?

but cops are the same everywhere

You have yet to demonstrate this

I believe you had some riots about that a while back.

No, I didn’t have riots. I don’t live in the UK anyway if that’s what you’re inferring.

there were over three hundred police caused deaths in england and wales between 2021 and 2022

Why lie? The number is 217. A number that includes all sorts of things, including people dying of natural causes in police custody or dying shortly after police contract, for example in a traffic incident of their own causing. What’s the comparable number for the US? We know that US police shot over 1000 people dead last year. That’s just one type of killing and given the population difference between the UK and USA it would put them at an equal rate, but that is ignoring the fact that the UK number is for all deaths, not just direct killings. The number of fatal shootings in the UK in 21/22 was 2.

So don’t call them unless you want someone to be hurt or killed. That’s just basic safety.

Only if you live in a 3rd rate country that doesn’t have a proper police force. I’d have no issue calling the police on someone if they were causing a disturbance and I’d have no fear for their safety. Similarly I’d have no fear for my safety if the police were called on me.

Projecting America’s problems onto other places is absurd and demonstrates a complete lack of awareness of places that aren’t America. You need to look outside your bubble and stop pretending that everywhere else is as shitty as the US. Also stop looking at situations as being black or white, presuming all cops are bad is stupid. Thinking in absolutes is not a good way to live your life.

The UK only offers 2 weeks

In the UK you get up to 52 weeks of maternity leave. Of which 39 weeks is paid, the first 6 weeks of which is at a rate of 90% of your salary. The £172 is then the pay for the remaining 33 weeks. It can be shared with a partner.

Capital punishment is prohibited in all circumstances in the UK, that includes times of war. It’s the same across almost all of Europe.

Ireland doesn’t have a colonial past, except in the being colonised sense. While no country is completely without racism, Ireland doesn’t have any racist policies or prime ministers calling for referenda on immigration. Fairly small population though.

You can buy bottles of pasteurised egg whites in Ireland too. I assume you can also get the yolks somewhere too I just haven’t seen it.

Salmonella vaccination isn’t standard practice in Ireland due to low prevalence of the infection. There’s effectively no salmonella on Irish eggs for sale. As far as I understand it anyway.
