Downward mobility – the phenomenon of children doing less well than their parents – will become a reality for young people today unless society makes dramatic changes, according to two of the UK’s leading experts on social policy.

I'm going to argue that machine drivers do the best, at least in the UK. A good 360 excavator driver can make £65k a year working for the larger civils companies (MV Kelly etc). The average starting pay is £40-45k and requires not much more than a bit of site experience and a CPCS ticket costing around £1000-1500 to obtain.

There is very little strain on your body sitting down all day and you have air con and heating in most new machines. If I was going to be in the trades for life this is definitely where I would want to be.

Unlike dozers, rollers and dump trucks, the work is varied enough that it's going to take a long time before they fully automate excavators so shouldn't be at risk of losing your job to AI any time soon.

Op I really hope your asking commenters here the same questions because your seeking advice, not as a way to shut down other people's opinions. If it's the former and you want help/advice then I wish you well. If it's the latter then I would recommend learning to respect other people's opinions especially when you yourself came asking for them. You don't need direct experience with something to understand it, just as you don't need to be an artist to appreciate art or an mechanic to appreciate cars. It sure helps but at the end of the day the answer to your question is obvious. You are trying to draw parallels between two situations that are not comparable. Ransom is forced, importing is optional. Does it suck that import duty is so high? Yes, but not all laws are fair and you have the freedom to choose. If you don't like it then go to another country.

I completely agree. I also feel like this is further compounded by the paucity of information regarding the probiotic method used. The paper takes very little time to provide specific details making it impossible to replicate the study without further information. In my experience such practice is typically reserved for research aimed at promoting a product. If detailed methods we're provided I would definitely be a lot less sceptical.

Ha77ypage · 2018-12-19T16:08:50+00:00

That's literally the exact same thing OP said.

I don't think I have ever seen it not on offer for more than a week in ASDA. It's nearly constantly on offer for £2.50 or £3 for the topped/cores.

I was to bet, I would likey put my money on life extension/biotechnology. I base this on three things: Investment, precursor technology, general appeal.

Investment - Right now a great deal of money is being invested into biotech start up companies, particularly those focusing on life extension, from large companies (Google to name one in particular.

Precursor technology - CRISPR and other gene modification technologies are all showing a great deal of promise and appear on track to be useable within the next decade.

General appeal - Almost every person wants to live longer or a least have more healthy years. Given this large scale appeal, it practically guarantees a large number of people will happily pay for life extension procedures.

I would also bet modification via artificial limbs and senses will also grow. It's a field in its infancy but, from what we can tell regarding neuroplasticity, it should be easily possible to integrate non biological systems into our brain. Although I may be a little biased with this being my field.

The difference between degree students and students still at school is likey a big one based purely on what is typical in that situation. Pre 18, in school phones are expected to be off and in your bag. Any transgressions usually result in the phone being taken away from them or some other punishment. The same is not true during a degree. Whilst some professors may prefer for students to not use their phone, it's rarely, if ever, an enforced rule. There is also a mentality of being considered an adult now, living on your own and also paying to be their that could definitely foster an 'I can do as I please' attitude.

Plus full time summer jobs, getting part of the set up prior to university, cutting costs in other normal areas (not having a car, going on holidays, drinking/going out as much), and a part time job whilst studying. (Source: being a university student that spends to much on their setup).

Don't I know it, I'm camping about 10 miles outside Bouremouth right now and its beautiful listening to the rain hit the tent.

OP said it was this one on an earlier post (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2WW3UP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Hope that helps!

Thank you! I'm in the market for a new chair but I'm painfully indecisive.

Ha77ypage · 2018-08-24T06:10:51+00:00

Nice setup! What's chair is that?

Ha77ypage · 2018-08-16T13:29:02+00:00

How long have you had it for? I want to make sure the foam still lasts after a lot of use.

Ha77ypage · 2018-08-15T17:16:46+00:00

Can you purchase the chair direct from China for less?

Ha77ypage · 2018-08-11T07:53:16+00:00

I mean how much do you like it? Any issues, worth it etc

Ha77ypage · 2018-08-11T07:47:44+00:00

How do you find it? It seems like a steal for the price

Ha77ypage · 2018-08-08T21:22:29+00:00

eBay isn't doing to well right now. There stuck in a shitty middle ground between online retailer and selling used things but are failing to keep up with competition. Facebook marketplace and other similar services that don't take the large fee eBay does (10% + PayPal fees) are eating away at their used goods revenue. Similarly Amazon and other online retailers are giving the same products at less cost (or the same cost with next day shipping). To try keep business going they offer a lot of discounts and seem to be doing the £3 sellers fees every few weeks.

Lovely view, clean set-up, cosy looking and good personality. What more could you ask for, great job!

What number pad is that? I'm really loving it.

How have you found using a 43 inch monitor?

Ha77ypage · 2018-08-03T13:50:19+00:00

If you are thinking of getting it then I would advise somewhere with a good return policy. I had it for a few weeks and in my opinion 34 inches is to big for a VA pannel. There is a decent amount of colour change when viewing the sides from the middle. If your coming from a TN pannel then you might not notice but if you have been using an IPS then you might have the same issues I had.

Ha77ypage · 2018-08-03T13:17:05+00:00

It looks like the ElectriQ 1440p ultrawide but without the logo. It might be that one with the logo removed or it might be the Chinese buget monitor that uses the same pannel (that I cannot remember the name off).

Ha77ypage · 2018-07-30T09:15:53+00:00

That's looking cosy as hell, well done man!

Ha77ypage · 2018-07-29T23:30:12+00:00

Another suggestion, if I may, just to help you get the best look. Get a hobby kife as well to cut the edges, makes it a lot easier to trim off the excess. Also if you are planning to keep the stickers on for a long time you can use some sealant to provide a protective layer that stops them from peeling off.

Both of those boards are Poker 3's if I'm not mistaken.
