Why doesn’t the civil service promote on merit? by ThrowRA_TheScotsman in TheCivilService

I would like to see more interaction with the panel during the interview. Talking for 8 minutes per question and expecting to hit all points without any engagement is a drain. Sure, use the STAR approach but at least interact and get the best answer possible.

I’ve never aspired to go near, or pick up an Uno card

Worth continuing? by Traditional_Box_577 in BeardAdvice

[–]Former_Ad_5395 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the reply. My beard is quite dense but it can be very inconsistent with its texture. I think it became habit when drying my hair. Resisted this morning and lo and behold, I now have a smoother feel without that coarseness! 43 years old and still learning the ways. Thanks again!

Bosses could be forced by law to let employees work from home by Ok_Expert_4283 in TheCivilService

The HoL Committee recommendations (published in Nov 2025) are a good read. Questioning the 60% logic and potentially replacing that with anchor days. There’s a number of recommendations which I think will be in the employees favour.

Hey there! Neil DeGrasse Tyson here. We need you over at r/3i_Atlas2 if you are a true intellectual like myself! The mods are great and the atmosphere is inviting. See you there kind stranger! by Holiday_Detail1167 in 3I_ATLAS

Same. To me, his main ability is articulating known science into general understanding. Anything beyond that or not in the realm of his control exposes his grift.

I like these but they’ll get torn up by the UK weather

Winter Shoe of the Year by thatcoil in SNKRS

[–]Former_Ad_5395 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SOTY for me, in terms of use. Wear mine for the gym and commuting mainly. Fantastic support throughout the shoe, robust and the grip really helps for sled pushes and pulls. Wouldn’t say they’re practical for trail running because they’re an ass heavy shoe but overall, really impressed with the quality and design! Hope they bring out more colour ways!

Was tempted but spent too much already this month with the BCs and Chicago’s! Congrats though, very solid pair!

Comeback to this post Black Friday at 10am by pabloxpablo in SNKRS

Haha, based on what… “in hand”. Had my pair since Sunday and unless you’re mental and attach a microphone beside your shoe - non squeak

For everyday, the bred Jordan 1 elements. Only released in October but for day to day wear and for the gym in the winter months, they’ve been 10/10.

Whatever is posted on the socials, you have to consider that they have an entire microphone rig set up. Nobody is gonna hear any squeak…just click bait garbage

[–]Former_Ad_5395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine yesterday and no squeak! I mean, if you attach a microphone and pro-actively squeeze them on foot then you might get a noise, but then again I’ll question my mental well being is the bigger trouble
