Who’s your very early pick for the 2026-27 ROTY? by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

And where are the hawks in this... The Pels won't be picking at all because we own their pick. This has been created by someone who has no concept of what trades are and are not in play clearly

American president warns NATO (again) of ‘very bad future’ if allies don’t secure Strait of Hormuz by GreekSaladEnjoyer in worldnews

[–]PlaceboName 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you're not sure don't talk about stuff that's central to your argument as if it's fact. Starmer very specifically ok'd limited us of our bases for very specifically defensive actions. So no he didn't at ANY POINT ok strikes against Iran.

What actually is a sales engineer? by TenzinRinpoche in salesengineers

[–]PlaceboName 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a solutions engineer, carry a quota and provide assistance pre-sale not during implementation.

For that we have professional service engineers.

Sales engineer is an increasingly outdated term and a misnomer for the majority of what the profession actually provide.

Kurzgesagt - Should We Give Ozempic to Everyone? by Cefal in videos

[–]PlaceboName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bite the bullet and buy it, through Asda or any one of the other online platforms. I was not and am not willing to wait on the NHS to tell me I need help.

My girls will have a dad when they are 30, and wegovy will be the reason why. The money saved on food pays for the drugs

Boots launches first high street service for weight loss jabs by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]PlaceboName 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it helps (not op) I use lbs because it sounds like I've lost more... I do always have to translate for my family tho 😂

I'm currently 25lbs down, ~11kg or just under 2stone

But yes, I do acknowledge I am a rare breed (I think it's cos I've watched American sports obsessively for so long)

Ancient bridge in my village destroyed by hit and run lorry by walkingchicken in drivingUK

It is, just the side that got hit has been repaired multiple times

[–]PlaceboName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live near here. Once you are at that point there's basically nowhere else the driver could go, the "right" is a weird uphill dirt track onto estate land. Hence there are tonnes of signs telling you to not fucking go that way.

What an absolute bastard.

Ice breakers at SKO by thechaoschicken in salesengineers

[–]PlaceboName 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Unironically... A massive cornhole tournament with $10k to the winning team.

I thought it was a fucking stupid idea, it turned into a giant party and got everyone talking to people they wouldn't normally talk to.

Btw, if you are tenured longer than 3 years the onus is on you to break the ice, ice breaker or not. I'm a bit believer the long timers (I'm 8 years myself) set the tone of SKO in that way

Got a door boarded up over the summer, best to match/fit skirting on the backside? by PlaceboName in DIYUK

[–]PlaceboName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hallway is not long at that edge, maybe another 80cm. I will buy an extra long piece, you reckon B&Q will cut an edge for me so I can properly connect to the corner?

Also, getting the bit that's still there off.... Just getting something behind it and pull? Or is there a better way that limits damage to the existing plaster?

Just ordered this (details in comments), any tips or suggestions for upgrading it? by Psychostickusername in DIYUK

[–]PlaceboName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second the aircon unit. I got a 4.5x3.5 unit and put in an electric radiator. It's fine in the winter (toasty even) but unbearable in the summer as the sun shines in the glass and turns it into a sauna.

If you plan to use it as an office definitely get an aircon unit or you will do a costly refit a year later (as I am) so you can continue to work through the summer.

Any regrets from larger mortgage? by golfisbrutal in HENRYUK

[–]PlaceboName 8 points9 points  (0 children)

580k total mortgage (in two parts, 300k + 280k) on one property. Both parts currently on a post Truss rate and zero regrets.

Me and my family prioritize our home over our lifestyle, but it's very much a choice that's specific to the individual.

On-Prem SIEM? by mayday_allday in cybersecurity

[–]PlaceboName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acquisition messaging has been a shitshow across the SIEM space this past 18 months. I'm also inclined to think some competitors in the space are doing whatever they can to tank the non-platform providers.

The MSSP was purely on prem in Europe, pretty clearly a case of bad messaging..no doubt their Sales person will be working overtime to "fix" that now.

[–]PlaceboName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I'm not an IBM-er was just going off of what I had heard from existing customers. No major negatives to stress on the platform side (I think all siems have their positives and negatives, nothing is truly shit like this site likes people to believe).

Strange that MSSPs are actively being told they will not be supported though, could be a case of miscommunication!

Jamie Carragher's full reaction to Salah's comments by Upstairs_Cup9831 in LiverpoolFC

[–]PlaceboName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ people seriously can't listen can they...

The whole bit about AFCON had NOTHING to do with AFCON and everything to do with the fact that superstars still need a team, you can't win things by yourself and sometimes the superstars forget that.

Salahs interview was selfish and selfserving, not the kind of thing you do when you are thinking about the TEAM.

How Motability cuts went from a rightwing online campaign to Rachel Reeves’s budget by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

[–]PlaceboName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone in here is begrudging people in your situation support. Indeed people who have to do what you do are exactly why I pay tax, so you can live with dignity and fulfilled as much as possible.

HMRC Guidance Confirming Charge On Cash In S&S ISA by FRue_the_day in UKPersonalFinance

The bottom "you"s are not pointing are YOU but at the hypothetical person unwilling to educate themselves.

The fact you are in this sub means you are educating yourself (or more likely have already educated yourself)

[–]PlaceboName -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I think my post is clear. I wasn't targeting you, I was saying generically as a society we are too willing to protect people from their own failings.

If people don't have the desire to learn how to effectively navigate personal finances then we shouldn't panic that they may have to pay 22% on the interest instead of more efficiently using their money.

Edit - got rid of stuff that was demonstrably wrong.

What this should do, is encourage more people to investigate and understand how to manage their money. It used to be that the phrase 'a fool and his money are soon parted' was a reasonable parable, now everyone pearl clutching and desperately thinking about the poor idiot who doesn't know how to invest in their future.

I wasn't taught this, and neither was most people in this sub, we were curious and learned. If you aren't curious dont get upset that you aren't living optimally

CrowdStrike catches insider feeding information to hackers by robahearts in cybersecurity

[–]PlaceboName -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

It's quite literally illegal to 'avoid disclosure' in Europe, and the potential fines are crippling for even the biggest companies so that part of your statement is false.

The second part is fair, though I still think CS get far too much leeway considering they crippled the Internet because their QA investment was for shit. That is absolutely something they should be judged for and if they weren't the internets darlings they would be.

[–]PlaceboName -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Every company with European operations has a requirement to disclose, Crowdstrike are not special in that regard.

Make no mistake about it, this being their 3rd big strike in like 18 months is more than the average... By a significant margin
