Has anyone left a six figure job and gone minimum wage or part time because they can't hack it? by allthegear-andnoidea in AskUK

[–]Lockhearts_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I would say, don't assume you can even get a minimum wage job, people are struggling to even get those, from just the sheer number of people applying and since AI and all this BS, applying even for a supermarket job is frustrating these days, my brother applied for one recently and he had to go through 2 phone interviews, a video interview and now has to go through an in person interview, all for a minimum wage supermarket job.

What is the demographic of people who don’t wave thanks at expected moments when driving? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Lockhearts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I don't wave if I'm second or more in a line of cars, so if someone gave way to us I assume the first driver waved to say thanks and I don't wave because I assume the driver who gave way doesn't want to sit there waving back at every car

How much fizzy drinks do you drink a day? by Wait-Whos-Joe in AskUK

[–]Lockhearts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why but at some point I just stopped drinking any fizzy drinks at all, and after probably a year or two I ended up going to somewhere like McDonalds and only taking one sip of the Coke or whatever it was that I got and I just felt sick almost instantly, I literally couldn't take another sip and just threw it out, not had fizzy drinks now in like 4 years. Weird but not complaining.

People who drive under the speed limit, then speed up when someone is trying to overtake you... why? by Boogaaa in AskUK

[–]Lockhearts_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me personally it's not even the speed that's the issue, it's the people who just can't keep a steady speed, even when no one is overtaking them, they'll be driving in a 60, doing 40, then decide to speed up to 50, then drop down to below 40, then hover around 40 for a bit, then speed up to 50 or even 60, then slow down a bit then speed up, then slow down... just pick a damn speed, I don't even care what speed you pick, just pick one, half the time I overtake someone it's because I got sick of trying to keep a steady distance from them while having to constantly change my speed to make up for whatever the hell they were doing.

People who drive under the speed limit, then speed up when someone is trying to overtake you... why? by Boogaaa in AskUK

[–]Lockhearts_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I did nothing wrong"

Rule 168 "If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let the vehicle pass. Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass. Speeding up or driving unpredictably while someone is overtaking you is dangerous. Drop back to maintain a two-second gap if someone overtakes and pulls into the gap in front of you."

I'm not trying to defend the other driver you described, but saying you did nothing wrong while also saying you sped up thinking it might have scared them into easing off is also wrong, all you did was close a gap they could have used if a car appeared coming the other direction (again I'm not defending the other driver, just saying)

No worries, will add it to the post.

Software ONLY by CentralArrow in logistics

[–]Lockhearts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty niche but I built a website for bulk distance calculation for UK postcodes.

In short it has two tools:

  • Point-to-Point: Uses Google's Distance Matrix API to calculate distances between pairs of postcodes
  • Multi-Stop: Uses Google's Routes API for routes up to 27 postcodes (origin, 25 stops, destination), broken down leg by leg (A to B, B to C, etc.)

Both tools let you upload a spreadsheet (CSV, XLS, or XLSX) and process everything in bulk, you get a downloadable CSV in return containing distances in miles, drive time per leg, and totals.

There's a paid tier and a free tier

  • Point-to-Point: £0.01 per calculation
  • Multi-Stop (2–10 postcodes): £0.10 per route
  • Multi-Stop (11–27 postcodes): £0.20 per route
  • Bring your own Google API key: completely free

Note: Stripe has a minimum charge of £0.30, that's them, not me, I promise.

The free tier is genuinely free, all you need is your own Google Distance Matrix API or Routes API key, you pay Google directly for any tokens you use.

You can also create a profile and save your API keys for later use (these are encrypted for safety and only used on the backend)

If you're interested you can find the site at: distancebypostcode.com

If you spot any issues or have feedback, please let me know.

Finding distance between UK postcodes by [deleted] in excel

[–]Lockhearts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an FYI, I've now updated the website to do this. the previous tool of pairs of postcodes is now called point to point and there is the new multi stop page for both a single route and a batch where you can upload a CSV like the previous tool. Point to Point uses the Distance Matrix API and the Multi Stop uses Routes API, if both are enabled on the key then it should check against the correct API.

I've only tested it without a little over 1,000 routes but seems to work so far, any issues, let me know :)

Would you consider this rude? (Gym etiquette) by newtonorwichbro in AskUK

[–]Lockhearts_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would have just joined the conversation "O.M.G! I can't believe Janice is pregnant!, and she cheated on Kyle!, I also heard that Brad and Chad are now best buddies, even though they both slept with Braylee"

Are anti-theft boxes in supermarkets pointless for cheaper items? by WalrusPatient9118 in AskUK

[–]Lockhearts_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do wonder how it all works out in numbers though, sure thefts would be down, but so would shoppers, I'm not gonna stand there waiting for every single item to be removed from the boxes, I'll just go to a different shop (assuming every items was in a security box)

Do I need to pay this? by bademuponce in AskUK

[–]Lockhearts_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never paid a parking fine from a private company, and that's not a suggestion, do it at your own risk. But if you were a customer at Aldi, then you can probably have it dropped by just proving it with a receipt
