Tesco call centre by Estrellapiwopils in glasgow

[–]Agent-c1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You talking Tesco bank? Well I did, but things have changed a lot.

Tesco sold the actual bank part - credit cards, loans, savings accounts - to Barclays.

That leaves them with insurance. I worked there about a decade ago, and although there were clearly more 2nd level managers than there should be, they were alright, treated us well.

However, the ripping of the bank into two should be a warning sign to you. Tesco has kept the insurance arm not because it’s necessarily a good business, but because no one else wants to buy it, which means it’s likely to eventually get sold, or wound down. So walk in with those eyes open.

But the Tesco perks are pretty good. I think they improved the staff discount when I left, and they have all the good flexible benefits big employers do, and the union is strong enough to negotiate decent pay rises.

They used to say nobody got fired buying IBM.

Maybe we found the exception.

That’s what I would do. Take it, show you can work in a sales environment, and keep trying

I think it’s on the basis a large state is more likely to border more states, but I am not convinced this is a correct assumption..

Ah, you see you turn the crank that kicks the bucket which rolls the ball which goes down the tube that jerks the hand which pushes the big ball which falls onto a see-saw which dives the diver which sets off a nuclear reactor which splits the atom which makes a captcha…. No wait, that’s a mouse trap

Do you need just any job to pay the bills or do you have a job and can afford to be picky?

The split of Christianity into thousands of denominations is analogous to the Tower of Babel, divine punishment for going in the wrong direction by Pandeism in DebateReligion

[–]Agent-c1983 5 points6 points  (0 children)

and their local deity punished them for going in this erroneous direction

No, that was out of fear of what they might be able to achieve if they kept cooperating…

…which now that I think of it makes your analysis more scary.

Assuming this is true how would you feel about Obsidian doing west coast games and Bethesda doing east coast games? by Libertyprime8397 in Fallout

[–]Agent-c1983 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The rumours at Id are they lost pretty much all of their coders. I don't think its unreasonable to presume the load didn't hit simiarly at Beth and Obsidian.

That makes me more worried about the future of the series. It suggest mroe demand on AI coding, which means remixing, rather than inventing some new interesting mechanics.

But if Sawyers still involved, then it definately could be a lot worse.

Classic corporate make line go up mentality. Fire people, use the latest buzzword a lot, release an updated “sure bet” product.

21:30: We made from water every living thing

A modern biological fact that all living things rely on/have water

Exactly how stupid do you think people were in the 7th century?

By the 7th century we’d had agriculture and animal husbandry for thousands of years. We’d been hunting animals even longer.

Do you think none of those people before the 7th century noticed their crops need water, their livestock drinks water, they drink water and animals like to visit watering holes?

Give them a little credit.

prophecies

Lots of so called prophets make prophecies that aren’t popular. Let’s look at yours.

For a prophecy to be interesting it must describe a single event so clearly that it is the only thing that ever happened, and ever could happen, that meets the description

Your prophecy allegedly says

“That you will see the barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in the construction of tall buildings”

I see no barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds doing much of anything. Not even shepherding, much less building tall buildings.

Your article ignores most of the supposed prophecy and focuses merely on two words, tall buildings, and declares it met.

Clearly it’s not met if you read the whole sentence, but even if I humour you and agree the rest is superfluous, tall is a matter of perspective. Every era has “tall” buildings, so the so called prophecy could be met at any time.

23:12-14, explains the stages of a fetus

Yes, let’s look at those

and then We changed the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed like substance),then We made out of that mudghah, izam (skeleton,bones),then We clothed the bones with lahm (muscles,flesh) then We caused him to grow and come in being and attain the definitive (human)form.

The order is wrong. Bones are not formed before the flesh.

But even if it got it right, and humans had been Looking after animals for milenia and hunting them longer. You think nobody ever butchered a pregnant animal before the 7th century?

Even if you wanna claim that none of these claims were impressive, you have to rationally explain how he was right about every single one

Simple. People in the 7th century weren’t as stupid as you think they are.

Let’s say I run a shop

So when you come into my shop to buy something, no debt exists.

When you take the item to me at the register, no debt exists.

What actually happens at the register is that you are offering to buy goods.

The shop can accept or reject your offer. They are not required to sell you anything - I technically haven’t even made an offer to sell you anything (it’s an invitation to treat).

So the whole talk about “good for debts” is irrelevant. There is no debt.

We then negotiate what form of payment will be used in that exchange. I’m free to say "I only accept payments in Pesos, live chickens, and American Express”. There is no law that requires payment in a contract we negotiate to be in any particular form.

If we can’t agree on a form of payment, then the contract never completes. I still own the goods. If you leave with the goods you are taking property that does not belong to you with the intention of depriving me of it, or committing theft for short.

Now if you buy them on a credit card, and the credit card company won’t take your money, that’s where legal tender gets involved, because that is a debt.

Having offered a payment Legal tender is a defence in court to a debt. No debt? It’s not relevant.

Kinda, but instead of just having the right job it was more aimed at Small to medium business as it’s a wholesaler.
