@FireCat, that's a lot easier said than done. What if he didn't stop? And also, even if the guy did stop, that's just one person for one day. Those things happen on a daily basis probably with different degrees of annoying.

A "nice kick right in the arse" is still violence. :D

And anyways, he didn't die so no harm done. The guards just need to put some respect back into the idiots every now and then. :rolleyes:

As for the rest of you. The guards' status is definitely hurt. But that's not the tourist's problem, Being an idiot does not justify a personal, violent attack on you. Something must be done within the British administration to fix the wrong, but not on the personal level. That is not the solution, nor a legal action.

When you are a tourist in another country, you respect the customs and traditions of your host. You don't mock them, and if you did, you should expect reprisals. In another country, he could have been arrested for it... we're too lenient really.

Tourists mock these guys all the time, they take more than I would ever be able to put up with.

Well I would ignore him.. even laugh how stupid he looks when he copying me, I don't think it be so fun anymore for that guy.

And anyway .. I think actually he would stop eventually really.

Well if the guards followed that example, you'd see all the terrorists mocking them. Once ignored, slip passed and get some bombing done.

I think support the attack, people should learn some respect. I really don't know why people are sympathizing so much with the guy who got attacked like its some horrible nightmare.

This guard deserves an award.

I think that any guard that wouldn't have attacked the man on impulse would have deserved a medal alot more then this one.

Come on, guys. Literally, this guard's only job is to appear ceremoniously oblivious to mocking. It's not like someone is going to attack the place he's guarding, and if someone did, he certainly wouldn't be able to do anything about it. No. His job is to not be tempted by civilian ridicule. He failed miserably.

I agree...
Besides the guy was breaking no laws or crimes. Everyone mocks the guards, Tourist are suppose to do that in Britain. (The guide says there not suppose to respond back!) So really I have to say that the guard was acting un-orderly and should receive a minor punishment.

I agree with the argument that the guy deserved to learn a lesson, and that somethings definitely needs to check in the way guard are treated. But that is LEGALLY. Using violence is illegal, especially when it is from an armed authority to an unarmed civilian.

There is really not much to it but that.

You are obviously oblivious to the fact that to become a guard, you have to go through all the same training, and more afterwards, that regular infantry need to in the army. You don't give Assault rifles and ammunition to someone who's job is merely ceremonial. Many have seen action in other theatres of conflict and I daresay they would be a little pissed off at you for saying they are just for show.

It's not like someone is going to attack the place he's guarding

Because terrorists wouldn't attack the Queen of England if they had the opportunity.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
