Here is a recent picture of the Belfast city hall as proof I'm in NI.
There are genuinely people who just own guns here. My immediate neighbours (who are pretty old) own shotguns for shooting clay pigeons, some people consider me a gun nut, but I don't 'collect' guns, I have them for functional purposes. People further down the street own all own guns for one reason (some were boxing day hunting recently) or another (self defence) and they're not criminals.
Ignore anything this bozo claims about NI; he's making it up.
Yeah, I'm sure you don't even talk to people about firearms to begin with and then somehow assume because it didn't come up in conversation there aren't any.
I wasn't here for the troubles, so I can't really be a good source on that information - I moved here because I see potential and beauty in Northern Ireland. Google says the troubles were for 40 years (older than me).
I will say that the news here is pretty grim most of the time. in 2012 we had the Belfast City Hall flag protests, just after bonfire night. I was there in person.
Kids being kids, put fireworks in bins and set them on fire. News truck pulls up, gets out camera crew and starts recording protestors through the flames of the fire of the bin and used that to convey that the "protests" were violent without ever actually mentioning it. This is despite the fact that the protests were actually peaceful and calm. The news loves to spin things like a drunk person breaking a window being some kind of attack.
Can we finally call the Catholic/Protestant wars over?
From what I have seen in Belfast, the only people who really care about the whole Catholic/Protestant stuff seem to be the older generation and even most of them don't care for returning to violence, they just want to live out their lives. The younger generation aren't religious and aren't interested in being involved with it.
There are people that have been trying to kick up problems over the years, but the calls to violence have generally been opposed by all sides.
But the other part is that UK police are paid like professionals.
I live in Northern Ireland, a place filled with guns. The police have them, we have them.
The police salary is pretty pathetic. For people in the technology industry, the salaries range 30,654GBP for analysts, 46,407GBP for tech managers and 69,722GBP for head of departments (source). I can also verify that myself and my work colleagues get paid more than pay point 7. A lot of the work being far lower risk and easy.
A rookie salary in London is 33% higher than the highest salary in Tulsa.
Looking at London, the rookie salary is 19,773GBP which is slightly more than the Northern Ireland salary at 19,578GBP. Sorry, but, even in Northern Ireland, it's difficult with that salary to get by, never mind London where the cost of living for housing, food, transport etc. is excessive and completely not doable (so people instead live outside of London and commute).
Even adjusting for the cost of living, that's a major difference.
Your cost of living calculations are wrong, you can't live in London with 19,773GBP.
And, you tend to get what you pay for.
I suspect it may more have to do with, you'd very likely face prison time for the same situation in the UK as a police officer and lose your career. I don't often hear of this being the case in the US with most of these incidents.
The country I live in, inside the UK is called "Northern Ireland". We don't commonly have "acid attacks" or "trucks of peace". I am active socially and politically in reforms here to better the country.
Well we only have a fraction of the firearms, according to Wikipedia the USA has an estimated 101 firearms per 100 residents, and the UK has 6.2
A good chunk of which are actually where I live, in Northern Ireland where it's not unusual to have everyone on a street that owns a firearm (such as mine). As while in Great Britain, there are many laws restricting use of firearms and you can't use them in self defence, Northern Ireland is different in that regard and is one of the reasons why the UK statistic for ownership of firearms even appears as high as it does on Wikipedia.
I think its simply because all the cops there are armed, and are taught that all situations they go to are life-threateningly dangerous (due to everyone, particularly criminals, having firearms themselves). As a result, cops in the USA have to be much more alert and ready to shoot to defend themselves.
I live in Northern Ireland, a part of the UK that is friendly to firearms. All the police here commonly carry firearms and have the same risks. I own firearms, my neighbours own firearms etc.
the trouble then comes when you have so many cops which means that many of them will be relatively poorly trained.
We have more police officers in Northern Ireland than some States do... (more than Delaware, yet you still see more police shootings there).
I live in the UK and, I just don't hear of stuff like this happening regularly (police shooting people coming to the door) when guns are involved. I don't understand why it's a problem over there.
Some people, sure, but Kodi has a shitton more features and Plex is kinda like a toy in comparison.
I don't know, most of my friends are using Plex now in their media setups and are using it to share their collections with each other too. I personally just use a PS3 with Netflix and Amazon Prime video for the most part.
I mean, with Kodi you can adjust audio/video sync on-the-fly, subtitle-sync on-the-fly, enable/disable audio-passthrough and the format it uses and all sorts of equalizer-settings and whatnot
I've used Kodi in the past, but never knew about this. Although, that might have been to do with the fact that I haven't had a need to look for the above noted features.
With so many Bitcoin exchanges failing to exchange and making it extremely difficult, it comes at no surprise to me that something like this would happen.

Sorry, I stand corrected. More specifically you can't have a firearms license for "self-defence", like you can in Northern Ireland.

I would dispute that where I live in the UK (Northern Ireland), it's common for people to be armed.
But even so, you just wouldn't see the police doing that here.

Something just genuinely doesn't seem right.

It worked for me? Refund, product listing removed etc.
That's not true, you can report after having received a 'fake' product and they will investigate accordingly.
Couldn't you use Kodi from a webbrowser like Plex anyway?
How does Gridcoin (BOINC's cryptocurrency) invalidate coins mined without consent when it's discovered say, a after being mined?

How does that work where a TV license is concerned?
I thought people were using Plex now?
You could just drive or take a flight out of Ukraine (a friend of mine returned from Ukraine yesterday)?
I am sceptical he could recite all those 18 character wallet private keys.
With so many Bitcoin exchanges failing to exchange and making it extremely difficult, it comes at no surprise to me that something like this would happen.
Is this for Great Britain or the UK? I find this confusing as someone who lives in the UK but not in Great Britain.
It's all an edge of the wedge now. You won, I admit defeat.
Oh, I'm sorry. I retract my previous use of the word "everywhere", it should be "multiple". There, fixed.
I'm wrong, you won David Thornley.
I'm wrong, go build your bot paradise, I will not stop you.
I'm wrong, you win.
