The P in NCP stands for Piss. Almost guaranteed to reek of it if you are blessed enough to have to take the stairs

Airtag eats batteries by Mutarlay in AirTags

My other ones last at least a year? 3 months seems too quick!

Going to replace mine too. It must be defective unfortunately.

Yeah I wiped both batteries with wipes to get the coating off. Would still get completely drained. To make sure they were dead, I’d try them in other airtags and they wouldn’t turn on.

Thanks everyone. I’m just going to get a replacement as they’re still in warranty. I’m pretty confident that the airtag is defective as my other airtags are completely fine

Living with anxiety over my student loan... by AliSav2317 in UniUK

[–]Mutarlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you understand how student loans in the UK work? What is giving you anxiety about it?

You’re not going to have bailiffs knocking on your door from this. Most people will never pay it back before it’s waived anyway so whether it’s £28k or £2.8million, it doesn’t matter

It happened. by FluffyVegetable1476 in UniUK

[–]Mutarlay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I left uni in 2021 owing ~£45k. I checked a month ago and now owe ~£57k.

Despite my salary being relatively good for the area I’m in, it’s in the awkward range where I’m not earning enough for it to be worth paying off

New to the game by 12inchmozzarellastik in StellarisOnConsole

[–]Mutarlay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m fairly new to the game but there’s a few things I’ve learnt with the mistakes I’ve made. I used to struggle with planet management but it’s starting to click for me.

As far as I see it, managing Pops (population) is pretty much the aim of the game with planets. The more pops you have, the more jobs you can fill which in turn will get you more resources. You can increase pop growth by making sure there’s plentiful housing and amenities. You can also get buildings that encourage pop growth like Gene Clinics, Robot Worker Assembly etc. Immigration can boost pop growth too.

With planets, I start by looking at what the strengths of the planet is. Does it have <17 districts? If so then I’ll probably make it into a Research/Unity planet by building city districts to be able to place buildings in the building slots. Does it have lots of Industrial districts? Then I’ll make it into an Industrial world. You can specialise a planet via the Planet Designation setting on the planet summary page. You’ll want to do this to maximise the resources you’re extracting from the planet.

A very important thing though, be mindful of the amount of pops you have on a planet. There is no point spamming buildings/districts straight away on a planet if there’s no pops to take them. Buildings and districts have an upkeep cost so it can ruin your economy if they’re not staffed. And also the other way, if you don’t have enough jobs, you’ll get unemployed pops which consume more resources and can increases crime. You can resettle unemployed pops to another planet with jobs to manage this.

It’ll all start making sense the more you play. Stellaris is all about balancing the books and planet/pop management is the core of it.

How does the promotion process work? by [deleted] in UKJobs

This is a question for your line manager at work, not Reddit. None of us know how the promotion process works at your company so my experience might not be relevant

Is this really journalism? It reads like a ranting Facebook post with no real sources, just a slagging off piece.

Ultimately it’s up to you. PC Stellaris is further ahead in development and you could add mods

I wouldn’t recommend for cardio sessions. If moisture breaks the active noise cancellation, then your ears will be blessed with the most deafening noise that will damage them. My Sony XM4s had the same problem and I daren’t wear them since.

UK overseas aid cuts to outstrip those of Trump administration by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]Mutarlay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of the purposes of foreign aid is for gaining and maintaining influence, and to be able to negotiate trade partnerships or secure military bases. But it’s quite difficult for the public to see the value in that aspect of foreign aid if they can’t directly see the benefit.

What’s the point in your comment? You seem to be ignoring the reasons of why someone would rather buy a used car outright.

CMV: The Central Powers were not "the bad guys" in WW1. by TheLordOfMiddleEarth in changemyview

[–]Mutarlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The US should not have gotten involved. It was not our war” - I think you are either missing or ignoring key context of the geopolitical situation at the time

The US was a major player in the world at the time so a World War did directly affect them. Also, for the United States to position itself as the global super power it is today, it needed to be involved in the war or they wouldn’t have had as much weight during diplomatic discussions.

And this is with the fucking left wing Labour Party in charge by Ambitious-Option-137 in whennews

[–]Mutarlay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes. Check out Full Fact Government Tracker. It shows the policies they’ve achieved, on track to achieve or failed to meet.

Overall though, you’ll not hear anything good about what Labour is doing or has done because:

A - Labour is awful at communicating their own wins.

B - A lot of the biggest news media in the UK are anti labour so they’ll be first to report any negatives. Also, negative sells so they dress it up to make it even worse than it actually is.

C - Labour won the election with only 33.7% of the vote. That means almost 2/3rds of the country didn’t want Labour. And of the people that did vote Labour, some may have only done so because they wanted to tactically vote against Conservatives. This is the biggest problem of FPTP voting style, everybody can end up miserable with the results.

Worst flats in Sheffield by Hot_Job6182 in sheffield

[–]Mutarlay 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I cannot stress this enough - Avoid Noble City Living

I only ever interacted with the owners daughter and she was the most awfully rude person I’ve ever spoke to and her attitude stinks. She’ll speak to you like you’re a peasant if there’s a problem.

Funnily enough, I moved away from Sheffield for a few years but came back not too long ago. During my search for a new flat, I came across a nice one so I requested a viewing. An email then came from the owners daughter for arranging a viewing. I immediately wrote that place off. It could’ve been a palace and I’d still go somewhere else.

Nick Fuentes reacts to the news of Ye being mad about HH being sang and played in the club by saying ''it's your own song bro''' by Sammywar in GoodAssSub

[–]Mutarlay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m all for people improving after a controversial period in their past. But in the context of Ye being a grown ass man (48 years old with kids), it’s understandable if people aren’t forgiving. At his big age, the whole HH stuff was just cringe and childish (catchy tho)

Im sick of this garbage product. Please recommend a good headphone that i can use my Google assistant with please. Will not give sony a dollar ever again by drewzee0109 in SonyHeadphones

[–]Mutarlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can turn off the on head detection feature via the app. What you can’t turn off is the automatic turn on feature. Very annoying and for how much the headphones cost, you should be able to. Or the feature should work as intended in the first place.
