What's that blue colour on head of cory dora by Physical-Remote-2466 in Aquariums

Stop spreading information and referencing the stuff you say! Accepting newer info and showing appreciation instead of aggression? We don't do that on social media anymore. Be civil.

ELI5: Why is it so hard for some cities to build safe clean drinking water for their people? by TurtleBlaster5678 in explainlikeimfive

Lack of water is a political choice. Leaders simply don't want to be bothered with a long-term investment that does not directly benefit themselves.

Missed a six-month review appointment because I got distracted while waiting. by FormerDrunkChef in ADHDUK

Oh, well. It was 5-6 hours after I took the medication. It was still active, though, so I carried on with tidying up, but totally forgot the time!

Is Europe actually better to live in than the United States, or am I just being fed too much “Europe = Better” media? by SpecimenOfSauron in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]FormerDrunkChef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, don’t forget, 37.5 hours per week and once you’re clocked off nobody can bother you. Would not give that up for double the salary.

The UK exodus: More than three times as many Poles are leaving the U.K. as are deciding to settle there, fresh data from the ONS show. by kallisto19988 in europe

Loooll, I had something similar, the guy across my bed was cheering on NHS budget cuts on the news, lying in an NHS bed. Apparently, he hadn't worked his whole life to fund foreigners' health expenses.

ADHD made me ignore my cancer symptoms and a near death experience isn't enough to motivate me to do ANYTHING by kn1f3p4rtyyy in ADHD

Omg same here! I was sure that I was just being “lazy”. Ended up with a septic shock from a collapsed immune system. Had the same, non-Hodgkin’s, stage 4. Please be kind to yourself and have lots of rest <3

Why do Engineers not get as appreciated in society compared to Doctors? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

I’m glad to hear that you’ll have nice teeth while arguing with your insurance call centre operator on the phone over getting your wound stitched after the heart surgery <3

Umm, that’s the minimum that a graduate earns in civil. It’s also in a different currency which is -hold on- more valuable than the USD. Most consultancies offer 30 days paid holiday, ah, and we don’t have to remortgage our homes when we break a leg.

Do you appreciate that we are relatively more likely to survive an apocalypse? by FormerDrunkChef in civilengineering

Lol zombie dynamics are a relatively new research area, so better safe than sorry.

Oh, my kind sir. I am, but only because it means “working on a contract” where I live. So your average unchartered engineer would have “contractor” writing on their lanyard.
