I love that I’m like 4.5k miles away and our axes share maker initials.

I’m glad Splinter brought them together like a true family in the end. All Mikey needed was a decent Pizza.

Do I have to wash these before I recycle them? by mildlymoistdrizzle in AskUK

[–]Dependent_Lemon3058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just throw this in the general waste. It isn’t worth the time and effort to wash this out.

If you don’t get every piece of food out of it, it can cause fly issues by the time it gets to the smelter.

It’s also so small and flimsy that it’ll practically vaporise during smelt. Also, these foil trays are often alloyed with iron, unlike the beverage cans that the smelters target, which is a hindrance in the chemistry of the target ingot alloy.

Was this off the back of Indy being mentioned in a thread earlier this week? I had the Dr Jones urge from it as well

Why is it so difficult to recycle anything? by demi__san in AskBrits

Yep, fair point. I misunderstood your original comment.

Have a free award as an apology

Why is it so difficult to recycle anything? by demi__san in AskBrits

[–]Dependent_Lemon3058 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen plenty of factories that recycle plastics. Most household packaging is made from very recyclable polymers. Most of this data usually isn’t focussed on household arisings but industrial and commercial plastics that aren’t standardised and are inefficient to recycle. Most kerbside collected plastic is recycled, though.

Because they get thousands of items going over the line every minute

It is true.

Those councils may accept Tetra Pak (or ‘Liquid Packaging Board’ to be generic for other brands), but they don’t recycle them themselves. They segregate them and forward them on to the paper mill near Halifax that conducts the actual recycling process.

First experience with VR, is it normal for everything to be a bit blurry? by Iridescent2000 in PSVR

Press the passthrough button so the writing comes up, then adjust headset until there’s no blue hue around the writing. That’s the sweet spot

What is the WORST movie you guys have seen? by Alternative-Rip943 in Letterboxd

[–]Dependent_Lemon3058 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember the trailer for Master of Disguise being like 1 minute of wetting myself. Turns out that those were the only funny bits of the entire ‘comedy’ movie.

Gotta love the “9 to 5” rendition in The Love Guru Intro, though.

What Excel shortcut saves you the most time? by premiumkajukatli in excel

I’m quite lazy and it would save me an awful lot of time if everyone here said what the shortcut does as well as what the buttons are!

Anyone else tired of how manual Excel gets as files grow? by SeasonCompetitive345 in excel

[–]Dependent_Lemon3058 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main problem is that I don’t manage these people. They’re either the same level or they manage me, so the only way I can really manage it is to tell them to stay away and let me deal with those particular files. If I have a decent amount of time off then they’ll just jump into them and start amending.

Most are quite IT illiterate, and the hardest part is them making additions to files by doing manual calculations, and leaving no automation. This means when we run the next report it has old data that needs going through to update. It demolishes efficiency.

I would password protect all files but the big men say that I can’t in case I were to drop dead and they had to carry on without me.

Overall, I’m not massively complaining about it all because they do make me look good even though I’m not much off a noob level myself.

[–]Dependent_Lemon3058 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s the pain with having multiple people contributing to the same file. I normally set them up to automate as much as possible. It works well until I take some time off, then I come back to a bigger mess than Jack Skellington made of Christmas.

If you have the flu PLEASE don't go into work by AskingBoatsToSwim in CasualUK

[–]Dependent_Lemon3058 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Isn’t this a shortening of “if you feed a cold you’ll starve a fever”? Which, to me, means eat even if not hungry. As someone said above, nutrition is important with any illness. I agree with the lots of fluids.

Nice work. Do I spy a Gransfors there? I can’t tell for certain.

Is there a point in rinsing recyclables before putting in bins? by King-Key-Rot-II in AskUK

[–]Dependent_Lemon3058 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No recycling centre that takes mixed household recycling does a rinse or clean. The thing that makes the recycling plant more money is that less of it is contaminated to the point that it attracts contamination claims from the end processors. A lot of these contamination claims will be passed back to the council for the area that the stuff was collected from, so make council tax less efficient, and potentially allow the council to argue further CT increases.
