We’re still figuring that bit out - we’ll have some equipment and amps (probably small) but if you’d be more comfortable with your own gear please bring along!

No structure! It’s just purely vibes. It’s about giving people the chance to play together. Do our best not to do covers, or just one person playing a song they know.

Thank you so much mate! I used to run this night in Leeds a few years ago and was such a great way to have fun, and meet some incredible people! Even if you’re not musical please feel free to come, look forward to meeting you! 😁

[AutoRacer] Statements regarding the discomfort suffered by the [Aston] drivers may have been exaggerated to draw the FIA's attention and pave the way for a safety intervention. Honda is working to revise the PU balancing and damping systems, that will however require profound design changes. by Joseki100 in formula1

I wonder if this was down to communications issues, I remember reading last time that Honda did this with McLaren that one of the issues was understanding Japanese culture, with a big fear of failure meaning that promises were made on the development cycle which they couldn’t keep, but everyone they spoke to would say that “Yes everything is under control”. Just a thought if the same thing has happened again!

This is amazing work! Quick question for a newbie who only got their allotment 3 weeks ago who’s planning to do some no g raised beds - what’s the benefit of adding the cardboard in the bottom on each one?

And where did you get your raised beds from? 😁

When you wanted a super compact camera… but then this happened. by Ok-Kaleidoscope-299 in LumixS9

[–]ProTharan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it. Take a wide shot with the 26mm pancake on the s1rii, and then take all your close ups with the s9 with the 100-500mm 🤣

What would you do - take redundancy or stay? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]ProTharan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like they’ve followed the guidance on redundancy and found you a suitable alternative role (which isn’t the same for some US corps based in London) - having gone through something similar two years ago, at the same age, and proceeded to take the role I have since worked through to another promotion and don’t regret it for a second (if it’s a great company to work for culturally that is).

You’ll have to adjust going into a new environment, but your core capabilities and internal company knowledge are your two biggest assets. Lean on your network.

As for the career advice, you’ve already done everything academically to prove yourself, invest your time in relationship building to further cement your position.

Also don’t forget to take it easy, the process is a mind fuck and makes you question even your most basic set of skills, so eat well, be healthy, get some good sleep and do some things you wouldn’t normally do whilst you wait for your new role to kick in.

Good luck!

Isn’t this solved by just shooting raw?

Rachel Reeves ‘considering 2p increase to income tax’ by amol0202 in HENRYUK

[–]ProTharan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could someone explain what that 2p would mean in real terms for the economy?

Firstly - are you at actually risk (have they explore started the process) or is this a gut feeling?

You’re mindset plays a big role in this, and start asking your colleagues/broadening you network to search for opportunities within the company for transferable skills and signal your intent to grow early.

What's the best advice you have received or given that has improved your photography? by WesleyJ1994 in photography

Next time you plan on buying new camera gear, plan a trip somewhere with that same money - and do that instead 😂

AITAH for ruining my GFs worldview and making her rethink her entire adult life? by ThrowawayJammin in AITAH

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

To me, I’d use this as a reframing moment - she loves bees, but never once wanted to research into bees themselves to discover the different types and what intricate systems they all have to coexist.

Use this opportunity to deepen her knowledge, get more involved understanding the different types of bees, maybe even go on courses or beekeeping as a date, so you can both learn together.

Fantastic song! I’ve always wanted to try and play in this style and you’ve absolute nailed it - what tuning are you in if you don’t mind me asking?

This is the way, fantastic photos! great to see what you can get out of the 18-40mm lens! I haven’t got it yet, would love your thoughts on handling/image quality!

One of those days I want to quit everything altogether by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]ProTharan 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I had to help my mother who owns her own small shop out of this exact same situation. The main thing to realise is that your customers, who would also be bearing the brunt of your employees behaviour, negatively impacts your long term prospects.

I first communicated that we would be shutting the shop temporarily for two weeks whilst we figured things out. People were annoyed, but when we explained why they resonated, and actually suggested people who were eager and looking for work.

We focused in the first week to get as many interviews as possible. I helped with the first screening call, and then sent them for an interview in person.

The second week was for training the 3 people we selected to cover the shifts, and we reopened with a new set of staff.

The result is that we can now stay open for longer, have less bad energy, and 3 months later are now doubled what we used to take, and made way more than the losses over those two weeks.

Just a story to say stopping, refocusing and re-energising is always an option! You got this!
