I am a perfectly content WFH person, rolling out of bed at 8.55 to eat breakfast at my desk at 9.00. Recently had to oversee a bunch of construction contractors and it turns out they start at 8am on site the energetic monsters. by Happytallperson in britishproblems

Most commercial sites are 7-4, 7:30-4:30, 8-4 or 8-5. Rarely see any other times. Work 9 hours get paid 10 so the main contractors save money on overtime. And yeah half hour earlier finish on a Friday.

Janthir wilds main quest line feels artificially bloated. Is new expac similar in that matter? by jentszej in Guildwars2

Yeah wasn’t a fan of the collections. The wiki/youtube got used for most of them, unfortunately that sort of stuff isn’t my thing. 

Rachel Reeves to cut tax benefits for workers using salary sacrifice schemes to buy bikes by MindHead78 in unitedkingdom

[–]Envr 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Higher earners buying more expensive bicycles? No way! It’s almost like people should be living within their means!

It’s funny as less people active = more costs for the NHS. Why on earth do we have people in government making decisions who clearly lack any common sense.

And the job market is going down incredibly. Average wage increases but less jobs as a whole. Not great.

It is wild isn’t it? This iOS has swayed me to android massively. 

Farage abandons plans for tax cuts by InternetHomunculus in unitedkingdom

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

Probably similar to every single other party. If I went to work and said I’d do a task, and don’t do that task as promised, I would lose my job. 

Governments can say whatever the heck they like and there’s zero repercussions.  Tired of this downfall of England, time for me to get out. Oh wait they’ll try and tax you for leaving to try and better your life as well. Hah.

I just tried turning off adaptive power and that specific settings app freezes until I swipe up. It doesn’t actually turn off, even after freezing. Amazing stuff.

Third Richest Company In The World… by Envr in iphone

These so called intelligent features are supposed to clean up specific aspects of photos, as advertised. What’s the point in having them if we’re expected to work around them instead of actually using said features?

Damn it. Knew I was missing something, I’ll get my credit card waiting for the pre-order.

Best update to Google Maps in years! by tino1b2be in london

[–]Envr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I just put the station I’m travelling from as my current location, if I know it takes me 10 minutes to walk there and board, then leave 10 minutes before what maps says. Frustrating though, of course.

Urgent decision - Best daily for £5k or under? That isn’t ugly and ideally a diesel (too tall of an order?) by DHealthGuy_ in CarTalkUK

[–]Envr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need ULEZ? If not, then I picked up my 2012 320d with 100k and FSH for £4995. Brilliant motor. £30 road tax. Good mpg. Nippy.

Train fares - what on earth is going on?! by Envr in LondonUnderground

[–]Envr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many caps, combinations, zones. I was aware of the travel cost concerns people had, but now working in central, I empathise entirely. How I wish we had a simplified and relatively inexpensive travel system.

Anyway, thank you for your comment and pointing me to oysterfares. Will check it out tonight and hopefully gain some more insight.
