Some great answers above/below:

• ACAB - of course! ALL cops!
• Cops work for the billionaire class. They do the bidding of their masters - yep, sure
• Police protect property, not people - so true

/s

The police are there to enforce the law. Are all police officers perfect, no. Is anyone perfect, no.

My point being, you should want the police to follow the law and enforce it. From the article, they were enforcing a law around the Public Order Act.

So doesn't the problem really exist with those who make the law, not those who enforce it?

(Ok, I'll get off my high horse now)

Nice to hear a balanced view - thank you!

A couple of helpful tips to get back that lightning fast feeling...

1. Disable Javascript. I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-javascript/
2. If you're using a phone, try PureBrowser

It's incredible how fast things load when you use one of those options! Although I appreciate a few websites simply refuse to work

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! And thanks for offering to answer more questions.

I'm working with two other people doing research, so I'll pass this on to them and let you know what they think.

Massive thanks again!

No Stupid Questions... I'll update the post :)

Hello!

What kind of researcher posts a five-question-questionnaire on Lemmy?

I'm not a professional researcher or anything, just someone looking to do research in this area. I thought there might be people on Lemmy who wanted to share their story or experiences.

Who are you and who employs you? What is your agenda?

I am cman6. I'm not comfortable disclosing person information about my employer. I stated my agenda... "The research project we are working on is looking into all aspects of food banks from someone deciding to donate, to storing the donations, to people receiving them, and seeing if there is some way to improve what is being donated and/or the quantities."

Is this an undergraduate thesis?

Nope

Where else did you post your questionnaire? Are you accounting for selection bias?

This is the only place I've posted it so far. I'm not concerned about selection bias to be honest, although I am aware of it. I'm just looking for anecdotal information.

Why do you not use a questionnaire service like survey monkey?

I just thought this would be faster. Plus I wanted to keep things informal.

These are all yes/no questions and no questions regarding background, sex, age, income, etc. What kind of conclusions do you think you will be able to draw from that?

Well I don't have any experience going to a food bank so I was hoping to gather a general idea of what that might be like.

Cheers!

I didn't study the article but it sounds like the idea is that the AM amplifier will cause an induced current in the speaker. No idea if that's true or not though

In case anyone wondered how to potentially get around this...

• Pay for a server in another country that gives you SSH access
• Create SSH SOCKS tunnel: ssh -N -D 8008 your-server-ip
• Open your browser and set the SOCKS server to localhost:8008 (in Chromium/Firefox you can search for this in Settings)

The 3.1 started to become incredibly slow once I installed at the latest updates. If it's factory reset then it runs fine. The worst offender on that phone was turning the Wifi on and off. Turning it on (after all updates are installed) causes the phone to freeze for 10-20 seconds.

On the 5.1 the keyboard stops responding to every other key press at times. That's been my only gripe so far to be honest but it's incredibly frustrating.

I've had a Nokia 3.1 and 5.1 and I would advise everyone to steer clear! I won't be buying a Nokia phone again

If you've not seen it there's a film about exactly this... The Congress
