Is it common for companies not to have this already? Both places I've worked so far have had this. There's an office and everyone has a desk and is presumed to be in the majority of the time but if you want to WFH you just did and

I work in public sector (NHS Tech) and I'm not so sure. There can be a lot of bureaucracy around hiring leading to quite well defined roles. You're right about understaffing and if you end up in a good sub organisation there'

Then get a hotel. While tourism may be important and economic interests of local residents need to come first and AirBnb and it's like are harming local residents.
245.
by ck425 6y ago
So local residents should just leave anywhere they becomes popular with tourists?
246.
by ck425 6y ago
If you want to be a local you have to actually become a local. That means moving there and actually living there for a significant period of time.

It was a huge step down if you liked RPG games, which given Bethesda traditionally made rpg games and that fallout was originally an rpg series is hugely important. Fallout 4 suffered from quest repetition/duplication, an emphasis on c

Please no. Isn't that what they tried when they made Fallout 4 and it's easily the worst of the modern fallouts.

Not really. The alternative before Netflix was more expensive cable/satellite tv. Netflix was both better and cheaper. As a gamer I probably only spend ~£150 a year on a few really good big games and the odd cheap sale game. And I pref

Find a FIRE group based in your country/state. There are loads on Facebook and likely other platforms. People pursuing FIRE aim to save and increase a significant proportion of their income so they can retire early (30-50s) and have a

Don't forget Fire Emblem. I bought my 3DS entirely for Fire Emblem.

That pretty much describes me to a t. Discovering theatre was the best thing that ever happened to me and I absolutely work so I can go do theatre in my spare time. I aim to FIRE so I can go to drama school for fun.

I get round this by doing amateur theatre. Most of my friends are from theatre and they're a varied bunch. Doctors, Teachers, Vets and Lawyers are the most common professions but also lots of random jobs such as train Conductor, HR man

It's really not. The costs of commuting and wfh vary dramatically between individuals. In my case I have no commuting costs, I run or walk to work. Hell it's actually slightly cheaper as I showered at work 5 days a week. The costs

I run there, which is time I still spend at home. And I enjoy the walk home as I live in a beautiful city. I normally go walking throughout the day for longer than that anyway.

Speak for yourself, I have good coffee at the office. Hell I spend way more on coffee now just to go sit somewhere that's not my main room.

Moving isn't easy if your have a mortgage plus I don't particularly want to move. Even if I did I got a great deal on my flat and I'd have to move right out the the edge of town or to a very rough neighborhood to afford an ad

That's far from the case for everybody. Extra heating is looking like it'll cost me another £80-100 over winter whereas I have no commuting costs atm.

by ck425 6y ago
Again this heavily depends on your situation. I live a 20 min walk from my office. I have £0 commuting costs. On the other hand I live in an old city with little new built housing. My flat is over 100 years old with massive ceilings, electr

Hell in the UK most people get atleast 6 weeks. I currently get 27 + 9 'public holidays' that I can take when I like.

I call bullshit on the idea that industriousness is entirely learned. You can definitely improve it but research shows a significant part of it is genetic.

For me tech is the plan B and I've never truly gone after plan A. Sometimes I regret that but on the whole I think a well executed plan B makes way more sense than attempting plan A. If you're successful enough with plan B you can

I think it's a natural human tendency. It makes it easier on our heuristics to sort other humans and ourselves into identities. The issue now is that we have the delusion that we can choose to be anything which makes us unhappy. Previo

Sure signing forms might kill the vibe but the move towards enthusiastic consent and actually asking 'What do you want to do?' is great imo.

Getting BT headphones that are as good as my current setup would cost me £300+ and even then there would be latency and device switching issues.

Well yeah, I think we'd agree that most non-battery based electronic devices are superior to any equivalent device that relies on a battery. You're not refuting anything with that statement. The fact is performance wise wired head

My HTC 10 died a couple of months back. I actually replaced it with a Pixel 3a (and Dragonfly Black) Loved that phone, the default audio was fantastic.
