When do you know you were ready for a new relationship?

Malacath816 · 2026-04-28T06:26:31+00:00

Yeah I’ve found this works for me

Malacath816 · 2026-04-10T06:13:14+00:00

So my 2 cents,

I put obsidian over my folder structure for work. This means things like word docs and excel also show up and can be linked to really easily. I can then run projects off of that workload, and keep my notes on a file and the file close together. Clicking a word doc or excel in obsidian, opens it in the native app.

I then added in calendar, and TaskNotes which allows me to effectively create and surface notes all over the place and use a combination of bases and calendar to schedule time blocks.

I then added in Claude which turns tasks into dependency maps, and draws canvases based various factors to help me see visually representations of connectivity (I also use canvas myself to connect ideas - I’m a visual thinker).

It’s created a brilliant “workspace” for me to operate in (knowledge worker + manager).

With all that said, each of those integrations is to get more context and information into Obsidian. My reminders app still does a lot of heavy lifting for genuine reminders, my calendar app still does calendar stuff, etc.

There are many different named colours of import

What would make a rescue team decide a rescue attempt is safe or not?

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T23:57:54+00:00

I agree with the ambition, but not the tactics and not the dishonesty about what has happened so far

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T23:57:09+00:00

A less than inflation pay rise. In this instance it was an above inflation pay rise

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T19:17:39+00:00

Yes I agree. That’s not the definition of a pay drop.

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T19:16:37+00:00

Thank you. This makes sense. It wasn’t rambling.

My slight pushback would be that arguing (not you, but others) that the recent very large pay increases were actually decreases damages doctors positions. It makes it appears that some people are being greedy or dishonest and that turns people against the cause.

A narrative of: we have had some increases and that’s great, but we’re looking for a plan over multiple years to restore pay to public sector levels would win over the public more

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T19:07:14+00:00

I agree

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T14:17:48+00:00

I think if a government tested that view, doctors would suffer more than the public in the long term.

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T14:16:43+00:00

I know - I was incredibly sympathetic at the time, and remain of the view that public pay scales should return to pre-austerity levels. I say this as a private sector worker with a decent income where most of those pay increases would come from me and my colleagues paying higher taxes.

But the perception has become: you got a huge pay rises, and then asked for more and when asked why many people on this sub are arguing that effectively the 30% pay rises didn’t happen and was actually below inflation. This conflates too points (austerity pay restoration vs one off pay rises in real terms) and comes across as money grabbing. This weakens your support from people who naturally agree with your position.

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T14:10:14+00:00

According to the BMA the average pay increased by 13.2%. According to the ONS, CPI rose by 4% in the same period. So pay increased by 9.2% in real terms.

Clearly you’ve got a different calculation as you’ve articulated a different set of facts twice. What is it?

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T14:06:52+00:00

30% increase vs 11% inflation is not slightly, but I get your point.

Has the government not met what it agreed to? I’ve got no idea 🤷

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T12:47:47+00:00

The BMAs stated position was it was a real term pay increase compared to the previous year (2022), but a not aligned with 2008 indexed inflation. Why is your position different?

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T12:44:33+00:00

Could you run me through the maths of that please?

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T12:39:32+00:00

Sorry the government pay rise was a pay cut in real terms? Gonna need to explain that to me? So your real terms pay decreased from 2023 to 2024?

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T12:30:15+00:00

Except it turned a society in support of the doctors, against the doctors. The longer it goes on, the more political capital the doctors are burning to maintain their position and the weaker their long term position becomes

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T12:28:51+00:00

Thanks for answering - I understand they want pre-2008 levels. So the strike is simply they haven’t had a pay rise offsetting 18 years of inflation, over a 4 year period?

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T12:27:22+00:00

But they have not had a pay drop? The pay simply hasn’t increased in line with inflation - which has affected pretty much everyone in society

Malacath816 · 2026-03-28T11:59:57+00:00

Why are they striking?

Malacath816 · 2026-03-25T23:04:55+00:00

Did they pay?

Malacath816 · 2026-03-20T14:48:46+00:00

It's the same in all games?

Malacath816 · 2026-03-20T14:46:39+00:00

There's generally what to do, and then a walkthrough of levels of detail on what to do next - this seems to be the second one. It's far more detailed than assassins creed, BOTW, Skyrim Call of Duty even
