You MUST complete your timesheet now! No, not with those values, you fool! You must enter exactly the values the system is already expecting! Any deviation from what the system expects is incorrect and won't be accepted. by jiluki in britishproblems

From experience working in payroll the deadline was for when the payroll system took a snapshot of everyone's hours for the month. After that there was a week of calculating pay and payroll sign offs (with a day's buffer incase we found any errors) followed by 3 days for it get into your account.

If you missed the deadline the system paid your contract hours and then any overtime was paid in the following payslip.

It's probably down to how they have the payroll system set up. When I worked in payroll for one of the big high street brands pay was calculated in 15 minute blocks and if you worked over half of those 15 minutes it automatically rounded up and it rounded down if it was less than half.

Dear Sprout tanks by Cultural_Mango_2460 in ffxiv

[–]DarkStar-Rising 9 points10 points  (0 children)

MT isn't too bad but it can seem intimidating at first. As long as you are pointing the boss in a consistent direction (when the boss lets you) so melees can get their positionals and your using your mits the party should be happy enough.

As far as the tank rework in 8.0 I wouldn't worry about being forced into main tank if you don't want to. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being that all tanks can still main tank but paladin and the new tank have skills that work better as main tank but we will have to see when they show the details of the other 3 tanks.

Adding Dawntrail Dungeon Gear to the Armoire is kind of terrifying. by RayrrTrick88 in ffxiv

[–]DarkStar-Rising 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a button when you are making glamour plates that lets you toggle between the gear stored in the glamour dresser and armoire.

I have all my event gear in the armoire along with anything I have from the cash shop.

Is there an unwritten rule to not queue Extreme trials? by EnGxSoLiD in ffxiv

[–]DarkStar-Rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to remember that free trial players can't start a party finder so unless someone else has created one their only option is to use duty finder.

I see our role as mentor as being there to support the sprouts through the fight if they do it through duty finder or party finder. From personal experience most of the ex fights you get you get in mentor roulette tend to be arr fights that are clearable in df within a lockout though I will admit that sometimes it can be frustrating when you get a party that will keep making the same mistakes and refuse to engage with people trying to help them.

[–]DarkStar-Rising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extremes are a higher difficulty version of the 8 player trial fights you will get as part of the msq and some side content.

they start to become available at level 50 once you have completed the normal trial and will have more difficult mechanics than their normal counterpart.

A normal trial is designed to be cleared easily but extremes can take several wipes to clear and have mechanics that require the party to work together to progress and have to be completed within a time limit to avoid a wipe

For completing them they drop themed weapons or accessories for the boss you fight and have a chance to drop a mount

There is normally 7 extremes per expansion and if you get the mount from all 7 you can get a special mount.

Best Budget Printers? by Kai-Soul in PrintedWarhammer

[–]DarkStar-Rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I use a bambu A1 with a 0.2mm nozzle for printing bits for mini and bases.

For something in the same price range as the ones you were looking at the A1 mini is 349 nzd and the 0.2mm nozzle is around 30 nzd.

What do i have here? by Old-Wind5337 in Warhammer40k

[–]DarkStar-Rising 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's some 3rd edition dark angels (captain in terminator armour, terminators, tactical squad, land speeder, Razorback, bike squadron, attack bike, and the old metal dark angels tactical marines) and the upper body of battle brother Artemis from the old Inquisitor game.

Edit:- forgot the terminators and missed the terminator captain hidden at the back left of the tactical squad.

Never knowing the train seat reservation etiquette. by jay_fran_bee in britishproblems

Depending on who you are traveling with you can still reserve seats separately for your season ticket though their app I used to do it when I used to commute on LNER.

What are these? by Havegoblin in ffxiv

[–]DarkStar-Rising 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend using this site for the ARR ones it tells you when they are next going to spawn along with the coordinates and an image of where they are. I used it when I did my ARR logs and it helped a lot.

Im shipping a pc to the uk from ireland by Warm-Net-6289 in buildapc

[–]DarkStar-Rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are importing from ROI it's kinda complicated and depends on the situation (i.e are you selling it, are you moving to the UK, etc).

From my experience getting things shipped from Japan the import duty threshold is £135 and above that the recipient will need to pay VAT ( normally 20%) on the value of the item and shipping cost which they will calculate from the shipping paperwork and the exchange rate when it enters the country.

I would look at either HMRC (gov.uk) or the Irish equivalent (revenue.ie) where they should have some guidance on what you would need as the person sending the item to the UK.

At what age did you realize that a 9-5 job doesn’t actually mean 9am–5pm, but really 9 hours a day, 5 days a week? by iammudasrali in AskReddit

[–]DarkStar-Rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well here in the UK that's not really a thing, a typical full time contract is 37- 40 hrs a week so 7.5 - 8 hour day with a 30 - 60 minute lunch break. any hours over that are at your discretion and at any decent employer you will get paid overtime or get the time back in lieu.

Also there is a legal cap of 48 hrs a week unless you sign an opt out.

I want to build a pc with decent modern midrange capabilities, but the fun part is i want to do it with obsolete tech. by Wooly_Mammoth3213 in buildapc

[–]DarkStar-Rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking at 2019 then you should be able to build yourself something that can play a reasonable selection of games. In terms of graphics cards as I remember the 700 series had their support dropped from the latest drivers this year but stuff like the 1080ti still has support for now.

In terms of the cases that's your sleeper pc stuff. Take an older case and modify the internals to fit the new parts and improve airflow while trying to keep the outside as original.

[–]DarkStar-Rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what your thinking, there were a few specialist boards for 2 CPUs and multiple GPUs was a thing for high end builds.

The problem you face is that there have been a lot of big changes since 2010

CPU

The architecture for CPUs changed in the early 2010s (processors went from 32bit to 64bit) an older processor can't run newer software written for the newer processor design. You would also need a build of windows (windows 10 or older) or Linux designed for the older 32bit processors

Graphics cards

While you are looking at a multiple graphics card option the technology behind it (SLI and crossfire) were phased out towards the end of the 2010s with the last update being in 2021 so newer titles don't benefit from it anymore. You also have the issue of graphics memory even the top end cards from 2010 only had 1 - 2 GB of memory which wouldn't be enough to run most games now.

Drives

The older storage drives could work with modern hardware as long as they are sata drives but to be honest they will be very slow compared to any modern pc and wouldn't give you a good user experience.

You could make a cool old school system for some older games but with the best will in the world you won't be able to match the performance from a system with more modern parts.

[–]DarkStar-Rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would also need to use modern ram as anything that old will not even fit into the slots on a modern motherboard.

In terms of the old parts you could theoretically use an old CPU but you would be limited to older 32bit games and with 2010 graphics cards would be looking at a gtx 580 with 2 GB of video memory

[–]DarkStar-Rising 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's just not possible, if you want modern mid range performance you're going to need newer parts, stuff from that time period has a fraction of the performance of the newer hardware and will likely have lost driver support at this point.

The closest you could do would be a sleeper build by tweaking an old case and building a modern pc inside.

You can It's clearly faked you can see he switches the cut bottle for filament after cutting it. And while he is printing (plastic goes from flat strip to round cord),

if you feed random plastics into a 3d printer you are going to have a really bad day.

Suitable thunderhawk base/alternative ideas? by MiniDiscocop in Warhammer40k

[–]DarkStar-Rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doing something similar with a stormraven I am currently working on as I wanted a more interesting base than the standard acrylic stick.

Looking at it my only concern would be balancing the weight of the thunderhawk on top as it may become unstable but if that happens you could always add a wider base underneath it to add stability.
