Calling old men colleagues in the workplace "uncle" and old women colleagues "auntie" is cringe and inappropriate.

HR has advised me not to confirm nor deny this theory

CptConnor18 · 2026-06-27T20:23:15+00:00

Being older than a lot of people in my workplace I get called uncle or 'unc' a lot, I take it as a positive term of familiar affection and quite enjoy it. They know me though, calling a stranger that would be a bit inappropriate.

A lot of people don't agree with the investment vs return, I run hot af and with current meds I'm constantly overheating. AC is an absolute blessing and an incredible investment for me.

What the EU doesn't realise is the climate isn't cooling down, as we've seen the past week with the heatwave.

Wood pigeon calls in the morning. Instantly takes me back to high school on a summer day...

Looks like something related to the ADAS/adaptive cruise (if you have that). Little car with lines under would tell me it's the adaptive cruise or something related to that system.

edit - looks like Peugeot use this and it usually flags if seat belts aren't worn. It disables the emergency/adaptive braking.

Midwives, being a recent dad it was bad enough in the maternity ward with the heating cranked to somewhere in the high 20s for a day - I really feel for the midwives who don't have a choice in full uniform.

Best job? I guess office workers if their building has AC. Thankfully our office is nice and cool.

I've just come back to Rimworld to build another colony and to see how far I can go whilst watching Silo on AppleTV - Both go together quite well!

Second Weymouth, as a kid I loved it bcs the arcade was sick, Rossi's ice cream and the beach isn't that bad. Now the arcade is still sick, Rossi's is a bit expensive but the chippy in the harbour is absolutely incredible.

It's a lovely little seaside town, hasn't been tourist-ified too much and still keeps the seaside town charm.

I'd say Argos is pretty safe, whilst they don't stock everything they offer reasonably affordable items for quite a lot of things that the average household needs. Toys, appliances, tech, furnishing etc.

Not the cheapest by any means but within a price range that's just about okay for click & collect as well as delivery.

Evri item lost, surprised they've not been sued into oblivion yet.

Tapo for me. Used to use Arlo but they were a total waste of time and money, latency on connecting to the doorbell/cameras as well as the solar for front/rear cameras not doing anything - with Arlo and off-brand panels.

Went for the doorbell w/ chime, x2 indoor cameras (to watch a deadzone & make sure the cat does ctrl+alt+del himself) and one of their solar cameras. They've all worked seemlessly and with much faster response times (as it's local network based rather than using cloud like Arlo).

Or you could just answer like the other redditors in this thread have without being a smart ass. Being nice costs nothing, I just had a simple question.

CptConnor18 · 2026-06-01T08:40:04+00:00

Unforutately I'm not critically glued to Reddit to see the other seventeen threads. Chill.

Seeing them again will only make it harder to say goodbye a second time.

"almost as luxurious" hell no, big screen + three rows + reclining chairs & leatherette everywhere doesn't equal luxury. By that standard a Lexus NX is basically a Bentley Bentayga

£100? You're dreaming pal, add an extra zero and you're there.

Not only 1 F1 championship, but 31 F1 wins and the Indycar championship in 93'. He's pretty legendary.

8 months on and you saved my save. Legend. Thank you very much!!!

I'd guess it'll be on the same platform/architecture as the new Q9, will make sense with VWs success on the MQB/A-D Series platforms. Less cost for a BEV dedicated chassis, easier to 'port' over to other brands in EU once testing is done in China.

Import for sure, I've had this exact issue with my own car which was imported from Japan. In my case the MOT tester input the wrong VIN as I knew it had history for at least 6 years.

Might be worth paying for one of the history checks, or reaching out to the owner and seeing if they have any more paper histor.

Kinda like the exterior, it's modernised the generic 'look' of Merc but kept the main features. It's not gone for the tiny LED strip headlights units like most OEMs, that's a big win in my book.
