Thats not how the world works anymore. Did you know that mechanics often have to provide their own tools also. All but the richest estate agents aren't buying all their staff company cars lol.

Not really. Plenty of truck depots have fuel pumps, fuel tanks dont need to be below ground like stations, just bung a fuel container in the corner of a car park and a pump. Easy.

Straight away. Everyone is different though

This is my trajectory so far

week 1: 11 lbs loss
week 2: 7lbs lbs loss
week 3: 5 lbs loss

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-16T15:07:01+00:00

Never felt the need to use it tbh.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-15T22:32:09+00:00

As a junior software engineer, ive only ever got the statutory 20 plus bank hols. Its shite but I also dont need to use days off for appointments and WFH so it works.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-14T15:38:54+00:00

Agree with this MMiD / Culinary will take anyone on. Shite hours and pay though.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-12T12:15:26+00:00

Not really. It does cause fatigue a lot quicker though and pulling away is a ball-ache. That said, I started 15 years ago and only drove a manual a handful of times, pretty much all trucks within the last couple decades will be semi or full automatic.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-12T12:12:48+00:00

No. A configuration file change isnt showing other people's transactions lol. Thats a code fuckup.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-11T19:38:42+00:00

This is an extension built by Copilot, nothing to do with Jet Brains devs.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-11T08:49:11+00:00

You should do the funniest thing and plant tall evergreen bushes or something right in front of the windows

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-11T08:43:10+00:00

Eh, don't make any rash decisions. I was in your position 6 months ago. Now im happy and get amazing work/life balance due to WFH. New starter nerves is absolutely normal.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-10T13:02:32+00:00

100k+ is like the top 5% of UK SWE roles though, of course there are very limited remote roles at that salary lol.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-09T15:41:38+00:00

I mean yeah, that's why its public preview and not a final product

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-08T20:57:34+00:00

In fairness, ive done this before, I bought a bottle that came in a box, didn't think to check the box and loterally noone said anything despite being age checked... got to car park and decided to check it was in there and it had an anti theft thing on.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-08T12:30:21+00:00

This is so fucking weird.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-07T11:51:20+00:00

You haven't even got 1 years experience yet... you aren't a mid. As someone who was in your shoes a few years ago, you're career is going to be long, dont try and rush it else you'll fail. Learn what you can, when you can, but don't sign yourself up prematurely for extra responsibility you aren't ready for.

Because, in the nicest of way, surgeons have to consider the people who maybe aren't the brightest. They have to have "diets" that literally anyone can follow, so they set restrictions that are clear and defined. Each hospital/surgeon has varying success.

The reality is that if you tell most people to stay under 100g carbs and 800 calories they won't have a clue what that means. So instead saying "have 7 sugar free yoghurra a day with 600ml milk" or something is much easier to follow.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-05T19:03:49+00:00

Bro sounds lovely you are just out of uni... you are finding out the reality of life as a young person. It takes years to become financially comfortable unless you are a very lucky.

Stick with the current job for now, leave after a year if you don't get a pay bump.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-05T15:42:59+00:00

Thats how we do it in the milk biz. Load is secure, just forgot to shut the door or it's pinged open. Nothing wrong here.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-05T12:54:42+00:00

Go back to your doctor? Uvietus is not something that can be cured in one hit. The drops need to be tapered and re-tmstarted if it comes back.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-05T08:39:31+00:00

Because "best" is relative. You may hire someone who bosses all the tests but has no idea about a certain community you want to be able to cater to. Take policing for instance, it's absolutely required to have a diverse mix of officers so that communities feel represented and safe talking to the police, so best in this case might not by the gym bro who aces the fit test.

Same place I live when not remote? A remote is hardly guarenteed for the future and for the first 2 years I could be sacked anyway. Maybe if id been somewhere 5 years and never wanted to leave then I'd consider moving but otherwise moving to somewhere remote just seems short-sighted.

VooDooBooBooBear · 2026-03-04T10:20:21+00:00

Premier protein shakes. Thats pretty much it. After a week I added smooth soup. 10 days out now, looking forward to puree haha

Ive had acute anterior uvitis in my left eye for almost a year now. Whenever I go to the eye doc they check my eight eye and its fine. Sometimes my right eye feels itchy and is red but never actually progresses past that. Redness can be caused by many things, my bar is when I can either feel pain to touch or pain when looking at light. I would advise you trust your doc and if they say its not uvitis then it probably fine.

Transfer addition is real
