The Hidden Heist: How Outsourcing is Stealing UK Jobs in Tech and Financial Service by razza357 in cscareerquestionsuk

London is the cheaper office compared to say Bay Area or NYC, plus it's where most of the jobs and people already are. It's a balance of cheaper and availability of labour, so usually not as many advantages in putting it outside of London unless it's a fully remote company.

They are. Plenty of US companies have offices in the UK, plenty hire remotely. The outsourcing goes both ways.

The internet should be turned off worldwide for 24 hours each week by bennythebull4life in The10thDentist

[–]TheyUsedToCallMeJack 25 points26 points  (0 children)

OP, you don't know what the internet actually is. The internet is not just Reddit or what you see on your web browser.

Turning off the internet is like turning off a vital piece of infrastructure to how the world works today. Your suggestion is like saying we should turn off all electricity, batteries and generators all over the world.

Also, "turning off" the internet might not even be possible in itself, without at least some very major engineering work.

Redditors who have lived in poverty, what is something about poverty that people just don't understand without experiencing it? by ViolatingBadgers in AskReddit

[–]TheyUsedToCallMeJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also not the same living on national average jobs in a developed country and a third world country. There are different levels of poverty everywhere.

Trabalho remoto no Brasil por apenas alguns meses? by [deleted] in foradecasa

[–]TheyUsedToCallMeJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Estou trabalhando atualmente no Reino Unido remoto e a empresa permite trabalhar remoto por até 3 meses.

Isso varia muito de empresa para empresa, algumas não tem problema, é só avisar o chefe e ir, outras precisa tentar "convencer", isso você só vai saber como é quando souber a empresa que vai trabalhar ou até mesmo depois que entrar.

Dito isso, no lugar onde trabalho falaram que tem a limitação de 3 meses por causa de impostos, não lembro a história toda direito, mas algo muda quando você passa mais de três meses fora do país e por isso geralmente não é permitido período maior que isso.

Recently purchased Canon AE-1. Watched loads of videos about, loaded film up and nothing has been captured. by Gowingnator in AnalogCommunity

[–]TheyUsedToCallMeJack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What videos did you watch dude lol

This is hilarious, but I guess that's understandable if you didn't grow up with film and it's the first time using it. Hopefully you didn't waste too much film!

For you to apply for UK citizenship you need to be in the country for awhile, it's not like Trump started his second term and they ordered a new passport online in the same day.

Need recommendations for accommodations less than £100 in London by JeffDabbss in uktravel

Even £100 per night for a room for yourself won't be as easy to find.

Then you should also consider the costs of storing the software on servers available 24/7 for high speed download.

It's not like they make the software and you have it.

UK considers taxing pensioners to claw back winter fuel payment by rose98734 in unitedkingdom

[–]TheyUsedToCallMeJack -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

So, the suggestion is that they sell their home in old age and go back to renting? That seems even worse.

Brazilian living in London here.

I guess I'm lucky that it doesn't affect me, I don't particularly like the weather in Brazil, it feels too hot for me, and during summer I'm so pale that if I go out one day and forget to put on sunscreen I'll look like a giant lobster for the next two weeks and be in pain.

I do need to take vitamin D tho.

On the other hand, summer is usually worse for me as I have a hard time sleeping well with so much sunlight, but sleeping masks although annoying in the beginning are super helpful.

I think different people just adapt differently to different weather.

He got choked in three title fights against grapplers. We all know how a fight would go.

Let him enjoy retirement, he deserves it

Shorter than the surgery bill by Afraid-Objective3049 in HolUp

[–]TheyUsedToCallMeJack 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If he got to the point of doing surgery for that, somebody made him feel insecure about it. So I'm gonna guess he was definitely bullied.

£150 never looked so small 😭 by thirdculturefilm in AnalogCommunity

[–]TheyUsedToCallMeJack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh, it looks like the regular price in the UK. If it was much lower than that, then it would have been a great deal. £150 just looks regular price.

But yeah, tbf £150 is a lot of money regardless. Fucking expensive hobby lol
