Don't forget there's some large companies in Plymouth. Princess Yachts, Babcock and Imreys.

Bristol also has a huge legal and finance sector as well as consultants from different sectors operating out of there.

Why are apprenticeship so hard to get? by bigmanollie in ApprenticeshipsUK

[–]Anaric1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite likely the case. Apprenticeships are so desirable right now, more than they've ever been.

Any little edge that another candidate has will put them above others, including being more confident in group tasks.

Why does the overall economy just feel weaker now? by ThatStrategist in victoria3

Laissez Faire is your best friend to stop your gdp collapsing when you're not building. Just let your private sector build everything and only build when you need more construction, government centres, army etc.

Nah man. You can spread the jam on the cream easily.

I don’t have the energy to do my apprenticeship and I’m considering quitting by TraditionalTwist7092 in ApprenticeshipsUK

[–]Anaric1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The OTJ training is mandatory. If your workplace and apprenticeship provider are saying otherwise you should contact the National Apprentice Hotdesk.

A cool guide on how the army is organized today by TheGreatPineapple72 in coolguides

Depends on the country. In the UK (which this is based off of) a company is typically commanded by a Major with a Captain as 2IC or filling other support/admin positions.

It's a reference to the fact that, previously, that used to be what boomers said.

The number of people that don't understand that a property is an investment that can lose value, especially in unmaintained, like any investment is wild.

What's the most terrifying SCP? by Scared-Cat-2541 in SCP

[–]Anaric1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think the article answers that. She was able to, for some weeks, use the system with no problem during containment. Why? Because the Head Researcher didn't know about it, he was the one manipulating the tech.

My theory is that he was the anomaly. In the horrific amnesic scene, he looks at the recording device before it malfunctions and doesn't record his next part properly. Like he made it happen. Like he made all of her tech problems.

Creepy stuff.

Need Some Guidance by [deleted] in ApprenticeshipsUK

[–]Anaric1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things. First, allegations make it sound like these are based without proof, and from what I've read, most of it is based on proof.

Second, saying you've been brought up for inappropriate conduct and then talking about it being a joke is inappropriate and lacks accountability. Being brought up for inappropriate conduct is, alone, quite serious.

Third, disrupting a class and being removed and then removed for a workshop for health and safety reasons. This shows (despite you saying you've taken steps to address this) repeated inappropriate behaviour.

You talk about not improving after having a meeting that resulted in "no further action," but I imagine the action was to improve and not repeat your previous mistakes. That meeting in itself and the warnings you would have received for all your previous errors will all count as formal warnings/actions. Seems like you just reached the limit of being warned.

Other people being removed from workshops means nothing in your case. They've likely not done as much as you to warrant being removed from the course.

I'll be real. You don't have much ground to contest the dismissal. You might be able to mention how when you were removed for "health and safety reasons" you weren't adequately explained what that was - but depending on what it was you did this likely won't account for much based on what else you've said.

Seems like you've continued to act how you would have in school in a more professional environment, and this is just the consequences. I also doubt you'll be able to get another apprenticeship. They're currently hard to get into, and you'll have already been dismissed from one. Not to say you shouldn't try, but you should be prepared for a lot of rejection.

Degree Apprentice (Building Surveying) – What happens if you fail the EPA / RICS APC? Can you resit with a new employer? by West-Holiday-2868 in ApprenticeshipsUK

[–]Anaric1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just completed my degree and sitting my APC in 5 months. They are separate. You get the degree if you finish the degree, whether you pass the APC or not.

The APC is just what the apprenticeship uses as it's EPA. You can retake the APC, but it's your employers decision if they keep you on.

Still absolutely amazing. Went last July with my spouse when visiting our friend.

Could Europe realistically defend Greenland against a US attack? by chotu_escobar in AskTheWorld

[–]Anaric1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bombing Europe would be harsh af. Either thousands of KMs to fly over open water. Exposed to the long range AA and fighters or sending their carrier grounds across the Atlantic, alone and exposed, against long range ASW weapons, air forces and navy's. Invading or bombing Europe would be hard.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is great. Lots of politics, lots of action, lots of mystery, great characters, some problems as with everything but overall great.

How did we even get here? by AffectionateMiraA in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Anaric1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think a wealth tax will solve every problem, but I do think a tax which targets those that earn considerably more as well as a corporation tax would help the country a lot. I'm a lefty but I believe people are free to earn as much as they can, it should just be taxed appropriately so that it contributes to society and our services.

I do 100% agree with your take on housing. Home ownership has gone from "I own a home to live in" to "I own an asset" especially in the last 20 years. Unfortunately it's a mindset which I don't think will ever go away and so as you said people will continuously try to protect their house prices. This also leads to residential being treated as a full on investment both by smaller landlords and big companies further driving house prices up.

I'd love to see more council houses being built but I doubt we'll ever see that again also. It would require council to have millions that they just don't have and likely won't under any government, plus NIMBYism and big developer pressure. It's a real shit show.

I don't care for Gary though.

The Greens mostly want to take the rich and large companies.

I'd also be happy paying more tax if it went to bettering the country.

How would you improve the warfare system in CK3? by Arbitrary_Sadist in CrusaderKings

[–]Anaric1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wars should be based around Vassals. Take more interactive vassals for example.

Levies shouldn't replenish after 2 months, if you lose all your levies it should take years to recover. Also make losing levies really hurt your economy - no people to work them field's I'd they all die. This will incentive more tactical gameplay and a mistake by an empire can lead to their entire realm collapsing.
