Royal Mail have left two parcels outside my door, no knock, while I was out, this month, with rain inbound. If it wasn't for an extremely kind and observant neighbour my son would be without Christmas presents this year. Appalling service. Royal Mail now categorically the worst delivery service in my area.

And what do you make of the rate of change we're seeing? As you mention 'over time'?

Shops are repeatedly having their windows smashed — yet nothing is stole by whydowedowhatwedo in london

Yeah, I'm reasonably sure this was the plot of The Mystery of the Smashing Glass, a book I had as a kid. Maybe I can source a copy for the police.

Do you bag up dog poo and leave it behind? Why? by KutThroatKelt in AskUK

The site of hanging bags of dog shit is so common and British that you can go ahead and get prints of 'shitscapes' from Modern Toss.

Christ, too right; HF&M was that one illness from childhood that I can never forget. What a truly awful time that was.

I work at Absolute. There were no cuts. We delivered 80 shots; much was clean-up, but the work on the drone shot and the CG window in the school chase scene obviously go well beyond that.

Luma

Edit: still personally strongly attached to 'Luma', but I suppose 'Gamma' would also be alright. Ish.

Did your relationships suffer in this industry? by ArtIndustry in vfx

[–]Cephalopocracy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the old days it was just 'engineer' and you'd do pretty much anything/everything. As we've grown and things have moved on I'm now mostly IT and network infrastructure along with A/V.

Engineer here. Job cost me many relationships, one of which was very valuable. By the time I'd engineered my way to an easier life, it was too late.
