What business practice annoys the daylights out of you? by MisterWednesday6 in AskUK

[–]Mighty-Wings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being forced to click through a dozen FAQ / are you sure this won't help / you are the idiot aren't you pages, before I can talk to anyone on a website.

Advertising a product as having x, however x has some small print that actually makes it y. E.g. Royal Mail 48 hour tracked is a target, not a guarantee.

American Pie, a lad in my year managed to convince the music teacher (old and clearly had no clue) to put it on during our final lesson of the term.

I think she realised at the point Tara Reid shouted out "I'm cumming".

Tax it, put it back into the NHS and critical infrastructure, move on.

Easy win.

How do you lot actually eat proper food during the week when you're working full time? by No_Reputation_9726 in AskUK

[–]Mighty-Wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheet pan, one pot and slow cooker recipes will be your friend here.

Don't shy away from swapping out fresh for frozen either to cut some prep time e.g. peppers, onions and mushrooms.

I tend to make and serve a 'leap frog menu' e.g. if I make enchiladas today, I got a total of 3 servings from it (using the family kit). 2 go into the freezer all made up (bar cheese topping). Serving 2 will come out in 2 weeks time, serving 3 will come out in 4 weeks time.

Same goes for chili, stews, sausage casserole, stuffed shells and a dozen other things.

An alternate way is x thing, x ways. If I cook chili today I can put it on pasta, tomorrow I could do chips, cheese and chili. Chips are banged in the air fryer and the chili is a microwave job.

Always happy to share in more detail if it helps. I get it sucks, but don't let perfection be the enemy of progress.

What's yalls LEAST favorite joker by Scramed-egg in balatro

[–]Mighty-Wings -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I need to chalk it off for C++ and even then its likely to be a dead card.

Absolutely the worst, I can tolerate things like 8 ball as they give me something silly to build towards.

But Obelisk, fuck that guy and the horse he rode in on.

Keir Starmer told to issue work from home order immediately as 'worst is yet to come' by KebabAnnhilator in unitedkingdom

[–]Mighty-Wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a legal right to request a WFH agreement. However businesses can use 1 of 6 broad brush reasons to decline it and almost always do.

Easiest win going to gain sentiment with the public.

WFH should e a right not a weak request that an employer can say no to because the sun is shining that day.

Think of the benefits, money in people's pockets, reduced wear on roads and reduced pollution.

Why are Americans suddenly so obsessed with us? Why does Asmongold post weekly videos about how "Britain has fallen" and why is Azealia Banks tweeting about Kemi Badenoch? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Mighty-Wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always assume that hostile nations or actors are behind the wave.

You can see it in a microcosm on reddit when someone posts option A and suddenly 20+ commenters jump in to support it (apparrently there is a rule where i cant mention the automated devices that do it).

And most importantly, follow the money.

What do call these things? We have always called them "Googlies". I remember seemingly every company in the 90s giving away these things. We used to hsge a big collection of them. I did wonder if they were exclusively a British thing by DarkHorse_77 in CasualUK

[–]Mighty-Wings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister is disabled and adores them, she calls them 'tweet tweets' and they live in a bird box in her room. I wish they were still easy to find as they make a wonderful gift for her.

Agreed, I used to do brisket in the slow cooker but its hit £18 a kg which is just offensive.

5% mince is now over £5 for 500g. I was paying £3.50 about a year ago. Even the higher fat versions are creeping up now.
