I'll also add plasterboard and the metal beading should never directly touch the floor as it enables rising damp if it does. It's intentionally left short

my eye doctor told me a story about an older dude in england. lived alone. his children came round now and then to make sure he was looking after hisself and his cupboards had food in them. for a decade or so this was the routine. one night he had a bad fall and during the course of his recovery and assessment if he could still live alone he went the doctors, they sent him to the eye doctors, the eye doctors concluded he was fully blind and had been for a long time

​

There was a bit of investigation into neglect from the children had they just let him bumble around this house fully blind for a few years but ultimately they concluded his brain had built an image of his house, the furniture, everything within the property from when he could still see stuff, so though he could not see, he could still see how it all was in his brain so he never seemed like he was blind to his children

​

I'd love to know if there's a link to that. It's a story that always stuck with me and made me wonder.

homicide is always a crime since its the unlawful kiling of another person, what differs is what can be proven, and what can be prosecuted when it comes to court

​

not sure how its legally defined in other countries but in the U.K. it is to do with intent

​

did the person wait in a bush outside victim's house, with a gun, and jump out and shoot man when he got home from work (predetermined, intent) (murder)

​

or did man get home early from work, walk in on next door neighbour balls deep in his wife (discovered affair), pick up lamp off it's position on bedside table and smash him on the head (in the moment) (manslaughter)

​

some countries the manslaughter ting there could even be argued as a crime of passion and wouldn't even be manslaughter

​

and then there is also conspiracy, where one mans crime becomes every mans crime (for example gangs)

​

you could be sent to prison for murder just for driving a car through the acts of a passenger (for example a shooting drive by, passenger kills man, you were driver, you also are responsible for the crime and therefore cop a murder charge)

assuming you are talking about an auction house (that takes a %) rather than an online auction site (that charges per listing)

​

The reserve gives the auctioneer a guide. he won't sell your thing for less than you will accept just to get his percent

​

For online.. well. they get their listing fee (and if for example the interested parties have to use the auction houses online payment service, they are guaranteed a transaction fee also)

​

But starting bidding at below reserve allows action to happen. If you ever go to an auction it's tempting to get all excited over an item and stick your hand up. Once that feeling passes you just chill on an item you like, allow the auctioneer to keep lowering the price then get involved once the action starts

​

For online, maybe there is 50 watchers but everyone is looking for a bargain cost of living cris and all that, by allowing anyone to bid 50p with 10minutes to go when the reserve is £50, all of a sudden a whole bunch of preset bids can be triggered and just maybe the price goes to reserve or above

​

By not showing the reserve then (as others have said) this can help to start action and drive up the price, which is exactly what the auctioneer wants (for his % to improve in the example of bricks and mortar) or you do actually get a sale and then the auctioneer gets their transaction fee also (for example ebay) and is best for you (so you get more £ from the sale)

dated a few ladies who had kids previously and when they had to pee they had to fucking pee

​

mad respect to women, everything you described happens far beyond birth but they just get on with it and put up with more shit than us men will ever know

peizo?

dude id happily pay £2 for 6 electric lighters right now! gonna go pound shop tomorrow

*does his best robert duvall impression*

​

i love the smell of shredded skin in the morning!

​

maybe im getting old and grumpy or just need to buy better lighters. I'm looking at a blood blister on my lighter finger and I'm genuinely hating the wheel right now

i bought two zigzags electric lighters for £1.50 today, the flint and wheel was £1 for 1?

i honestly dont know about the cost to make them but i find the electric ones much better to use

yes buying bottom of the barrel, not talking about Zippos here, talking about the £1 a lighter ones
