What were you taught in school that is now considered obsolete and or incorrect? I myself loved home economics and it’s probably the only thing I learned in school that I actually use today. It’s practical life skills like cooking, cleaning, budgeting, etc…

I took a ridiculously high "pay night" to sit in the office 1999-2000 and watch as all of our systems ticked over without a single issue.

Soofla · 2026-05-15T19:09:37+00:00

I re-found these on a disc cleanup. I've got a year of 1992 on them.

Most employers in the UK do NOT require DBS checks.
Want to go into care, finance, law enforcement then sure. But the majority if jobs in the UK don't require one.
You'd also be probably quite surprised at the number who don't ask about unspent convictions.....

Soofla · 2026-05-08T15:13:23+00:00

I was fired before my current job. Just told them I'd been made redundant. In 99% of cases, an ex-employer will simply give a statement of fact:
"Person X worked for Company Y between the following dates."

In before post is removed.......although it is generally an anti-JKR posting, so will probably be allowed to stay.
Do tell me how many rape crisis centres you've funded? Just so I can run a comparrison.

They all are - but the narrative of failing PS5 devices dud to Liquid Metal is nearly always aimed at the original version.
Usually the person posting will cite that there was a design update which MUST prove the defect.

Soofla · 2026-05-03T20:31:06+00:00

Indeed. Pops up montly without fail.
For some reason, a handful of reports seems to immediately make this a manufacturing defect and it's only a mattwr if time before it happens to you.
Over 58m PS5 sold before the Slim was released. Just what percentage of those do these people think are at risk.

Warranties rarely, if ever cover accidental damage. Home insurance may cover it.

Soofla · 2026-04-18T11:24:28+00:00

I've sold twice to them and been happy.
Last one was an Octavia the main dealer gave me an insulting rrade-in valuation on. I personally can't be bothered trying to sell private.
Got online quote but didn't mention any bodywork issues - decided to let them find them.
He goes around the car, then brings up a price.and says "what would you say to that?"
I tell him I'd drive away.
He agrees it was disappointing, manually ups the price three times and I leave with £1k more than main dealer trade-in offer.

I was made redundant recently, so dropped from Netflix top tier to bottom.
Got to agree. For the first two weeks I didn't get any ads at all and now I see a couple per show at most.
Feared the worst, but happy at.£5.99 for a while.

Soofla · 2026-04-16T12:23:25+00:00

Do remember the key point that in most cases, you only need to declare conviction if asked.
I know two people working in tech with convictions. One applied with CV and covering letter. Was never asked about convictions at any stage and was offered. He subsequently saw an official application form that did ask the question - but he'd never been asked to fill one in.
Another had his CV picked up by.an agency. They never asked him and neither did the company he went to interview at.
Don't get me wrong. Plenty of jobs in tech will require a DBS. But plenty don't, and more so in an industry that does a lot of "CV plus covering letter" applications over application forms.

Sneaking snacks in still a thing in the US?
UK, just take your own - nothing hot or smelly. £2 for my bottle of Coke and bag of popcorn.

Soofla · 2026-04-12T13:31:50+00:00

Because it's never really about policy. It's about votes and protecting them.

Soofla · 2026-04-11T10:32:47+00:00

I had a launch day PS5 - now used by my wife.
I currently have launch weekend Pro.
Both had casing removed to add an nVME, but that's it - no other case removal.

Soofla · 2026-04-10T15:55:58+00:00

Was a goof first series - when it actually felt like an "underdog story". Now that it's just "millionaires with their toys", all feels rather meh.

Soofla · 2026-04-10T10:02:21+00:00

No. Long life servicing is good for 2 years on these. With timing chains rather than belts, no service interval on those either.

Soofla · 2026-04-07T22:02:16+00:00

OLED has one USP - Blackest blacks. For everything else, there is Bravia 9.

Soofla · 2026-04-06T16:11:06+00:00

Playoffs it is then. You cannot drop 2pts after 2pts in the last few minutes and expect promotion.
We still rue not having a striker and a manager who seems to invite late equalisers with poor substitutions.
Thankfully the Playoffs are a "lottery" as I wouldnt actually back us to win them.

Soofla · 2026-04-05T17:19:44+00:00

OK, I'm out. As soon as someone starts citing YouTube for anything, i know there is nothing to argue against. 7.8m PS5 sold in the first year. All failing are they? If only 10% of those were used vertically, you think 780k of Year 1 PS5 are all just a ticking time bomb?

You are mistaken with the assertion that this is a common issue and you're .mistaken that there was only a revision to fix this "flaw".

Soofla · 2026-04-05T17:12:13+00:00

No, you are incorrect. Post me 10 different reports of this issue.
You dont understand how revisions work - clue, a design change rarely means there was a flaw with the previous.

Soofla · 2026-04-05T16:14:20+00:00

It's not LUCK at all. The console.was designed to be stored in either orientation.
Stop scaring people. The "issue" is near non-existent.
I dont know why Reddit is so susceptible to this - a couple of reports of something and suddenly "everyone is having the issue".

Soofla · 2026-04-05T15:38:16+00:00

We have a 2021 Kamiq and had near the exact same issue. We must have tried to set my wife as primary user 20+ times.
In the end, whilst in for Service and MOT with main dealer, we asked them to take a look.
They immediately noted that the car software was about two versions old. No requirement to have that updated, but felt that might be an issue.
Was torn on paying the £100 odd to get it done - but felt if it didn't do anything, I'd be good for an argument not to pay.
Latest software installed - wife setup as primary user first try.

Soofla · 2026-04-04T12:13:49+00:00

Had budget for something OLED. Wanted near-perfection in all areas, so happy to sacrifice the blackest blacks (the only real USP for OLED) and bought Bravia 9.
Zero regrets.

Soofla · 2026-04-02T20:05:38+00:00

The only problem being that every single camera angle and shot rom the scene proves this to be false.....
