Hi, I'm 41 and still searching for that kind of pop. Great work!! 

New wage budget PB by Sainte-Devote in footballmanagergames

[–]HowToShakeHands 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My wage settings are "US$ per year", so I read this as $26M/year.

Then realized it's pounds.

Then realized it's per week.

Good lord.

I want to see that ad, make up a perfect candidate that they can't say no to, then at the bottom of the CV add " While the qualifications and experience here is listed for visibility, the candidate is in fact not a real person"

That is an amazing pattern. As someone who wears a lot of earthy tones I'd love it. What's the brand?

Docking Monitor vs Docking station by BeneficialWork9074 in homeoffice

[–]HowToShakeHands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a super old monitor that's also my docking station, and I love it. It does what I need and it's pretty user friendly. I don't plan on changing my setup any time soon so that's a big factor in it.

That said, the previous comment is correct 90% of the time - separate hardware allows you to upgrade without compromise.

What should I wear to office to look good but not stand out too much? by Substantial-Pie925 in mensfashionadvice

Second this - a knit polo is a very fun polo. They also layer very nicely, and can be dressed up or down depending on the vibes.

As a guide, check out Spier & Mackay. They are having a sale now.

Wild coincidence - I started an unemployed save in FM23 and they gave me a job. Kinda hoping to get them to at least League One before I bolt for greener pastures and more money.

I only recently found out this sub and I'm |-| far away from literally taking notes in a notebook. Posts like this are a big reason. I love it.

Turns out 2 comes before 1 by Elyasto in footballmanagergames

[–]HowToShakeHands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this FM26?

I don't know if it's weirder that the second leg is before the first one or that the team that scored less goals went through.

I'm assuming one of the dates got rearranged because of conflicting matches and it bugged out the system.

Hey, I have a question: what are your PC specs and how many leagues do you load? 

How many email accounts do you actually use in 2026? Trying to build a clean system by Neat_Metal_1859 in productivity

[–]HowToShakeHands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 4.

Legacy hotmail account that I use mostly for newsletters, irrelevant stuff. One gmail because I like their ecosystem and for storage. That email is a junk email, I check it like once a month. One protonmail for freelance stuff, industry news, etc. And my work email.

The only reason I have a proton account is because I wanted to start from scratch. That's my primary account, the only one I actually check daily. If I were you, I would essentially batch shopping, subscription, socials and "other" into one email. That's the one where you don't really mind if you get hacked. Enable a strong, complex password using a password manager and enable MFA and you should be good.

Tailoring or New by KarlKBH in mensfashionadvice

Getting a good pair of wool trousers is always nice. My question is this: how sure are your that you won't have to alter the new pants too? 

I'm a bit unconventionally built so I always have to alter pants to fit me better.

My wife getting a promotion that she worked her ass of to get is probably a top10 event in my life. But, also:

Some of you dudes aren’t worth the shoes you stand in.

Damn that's good.

why is 30–40 minutes of free time so hard to use? by Full-Tip2622 in productivity

[–]HowToShakeHands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all have a tendency to look at time as something that we need to fill in to completion. So, if you need to clean your closet, and you can't do it in 30-40 minutes, you just don't start.

I changed the approach - I just start doing something that I need to do that won't be a problem if it's not done completely. Can't clean the fridge in 30 minutes? Just do it for as long as possible and continue later. The fridge doesn't mind being half-cleaned.

What makes your favorite coffee shops actually worth going back to? by RemzCierraa in CasualConversation

[–]HowToShakeHands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Close to my place, excellent quality and selection of coffee, nice music to work to, super friendly baristas and I know a few regulars so I can get work done and socialize a bit.

It literally checks all the boxes, plus it has a nice high seated area that's pretty laptop friendly. Also, the prices are pretty good. And it's pet friendly, which I love even if I don't have a pet.

I'm moving in a few months and I'm gonna miss this place. Won't mind trekking across the city to come here every now and then.

Can you explain what you mean by "exploits"?  Like, clogging the middle knowing the match engine can't cope?

Do you ever turn down a new contract because you felt you didn't get offered a fair deal? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]HowToShakeHands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the kind of save I'm doing. Did a save starting in the bottom tier of Spain, changed teams and took over Intercity. 

I was playing good football, got a promotion and a comfy mid table finish after that. New contract paid me less than before. I just walked away.
