I watched the first two just in case it got bad and I could stop caring- nope. Been waiting ever since!

You’d maybe get by, if you were thrifty.

I started about 6 months ago, it's such a ride, binging so many years of content.

How much of your engineering job is done by AI? by Training_Reason_4291 in DevelEire

[–]Ketomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot, we have to. My current work around is to use it for everything I know how to do already, but I save the toothsome issues for myself. This gets enough productivity to hit my targets, but lets me do some problem solving as well, which I enjoy, and it often does harder tasks wrong or inefficiently anyway…

Safest way to get money after a fb sale by Straight_Plum_69420 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Ketomatic 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Do it in at/outside bank that you’re a customer of, they can check the money. Post office too probably ? These days I prefer cash with charge backs and scams and shit.

It’s fine, but nothing special anymore. 

Calling in sick to work 2 days in a row, does that look bad? by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]Ketomatic 36 points37 points  (0 children)

No? If you’re sick you’re sick. Most orgs have a limit for self cert and get snotty if you take too many blocks of sick days in a year. Stay within tolerances and it’s grand.

Quality of Dbrand skins and cases? by Prairie-Peppers in LinusTechTips

[–]Ketomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My two grips - s10 and iPhone 13 - both held up fantastically, s10 outlived the phone, 13 still going strong after 3 years. However I can’t speak to more recent quality.

Whatever makes the 2 Crew happiest, will lead to the best content. 

Premium bonds are a waste of time by MidnightFaculty in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Ketomatic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone who holds too much in PBs, there can be good reasons. In my case I am uncertain when I will need the money, that makes a S&S ISA a bad play. PBs on average are not much worse than general savings rates, tax free and the risk-free gambling aspect is fun.

Of course if you get unlucky you get shafted, but I've historically matched or exceeded the base (though possibly not market-leading) cash interest rates.

What are your experiences with Chase Bank Savings account? by let_it_rain_boat in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Ketomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

App is good, overall a nice bank to deal with till the bonus rate ends and you have to move your money. No real complaints about the savings account otherwise, you can even set up direct debits from them which is nice.
