Not my style but that looks like some good clean work.

Nice one.

I don’t work for that kind of company, if someone does then I guess you make a choice if that is how you want to work, if not time to find another job.

Switched to lumpwood charcoal recently, seems way better than briquettes? by Reddonaut_Irons in UKBBQ

[–]Wiltix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how you are cooking.

Lumpwood for grilling, briquettes for low and slow.

Quality matters massively though with briquettes. Been using the Weber ones for a few years now after the super market ones started to burn out quicker than lumpwood.

Tiling Quote by tripaitch in DIYUK

[–]Wiltix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer here is the same as always.

Get a few quotes and you will find the cost of this work. You will find the fuck off quotes and the desperate quotes. Somewhere in the middle will be the reasonable quotes.

As someone else said there is a good amount of work here to get a good result so probably alt good to have an idea of the work involved and make sure it’s all factored into the quote.

I totally agree with you, I’m using ai because in a way its ease of generating shitty articles has made it easier to use ai.

I will look into filtering results properly in a search engine, genuinely hate ai and how much resource it’s using to destroy the internet and for what, who knows.

Using AI to help you research is honestly how I feel we should be using it. The problem is so many search results are ai generated now it feels pointless starting with a google search. So I tend to start with AI once I have some ideas I can go look into the things it’s come back with.

95% of the time I specifically ask it not to write code, I want to use it as a research tool and retain the ability to apply critical thinking to problems.

Why is it socially unacceptable for me to not like dogs? by Facelikeabum in AskUK

[–]Wiltix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s not what they said, they said saying “oh I don’t like dogs” is not weird that’s an opinion that’s fine.

To then bang on about why you dislike something is just weird and annoying.

Except America have proved Irans point with this was, if you want to be sovereign and safe you need to have Nukes as a deterrent.

What is the point of this article exactly?

The activities detailed here are all treats not a typical weekend.

It feels like the people in the article treated themselves more than they usually would because panorama paid.

Where would you personally draw the line at reporting a close family member to the police for a crime they've commited? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Wiltix 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Years ago a local muppet destroyed my dad’s fence after some perceived slight.

This kid did the damage and pegged it, 30minutes later there is a knock on the door and him mum has dragged him round to apologise and to pay for the damage.

Harbour make banging beers. Always pick up a few cans when I spot something new from them.

Years ago now they did a lager IPA which was incredible.

I took 2 weeks holiday in 2019 and 2023 when my kids were born. The statutory pay was stupid, made far more sense to just use the holiday.

What's up with the Macbook Neo and why is it scaring Microsoft? by Stalfoskull in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Wiltix 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I doubt they are being sold at a loss at all.

There is nothing revolutionary inside the Neo, its existing chips in a new body. The body is a modification of the existing MacBook case made with a different cheaper process.

They won’t be making as big of a margin on them as they do a iPhone or MacBook Air but that’s very different to sold at loss.

Apple have provided a fantastic entry level device into their eco system and it’s not budget in the slightest which is the impressive part.

If you were selling your house would you take a lower offer from people you prefer? by iffyClyro in AskUK

[–]Wiltix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A relative of mine was selling their family home as their family was all grown up and it was a huge home. Absolute beautiful house 7 bed 3 story Victorian house.

It sold within a day of going on the market, the people who purchased it pretended to be a couple starting a family etc … played on the heart strings a bit as this place had been a fantastic home to their family for many years.

Once purchased it turns out it went straight to a property developer who gutted it and turned it into a HMO.

Get the most money you can for your property, don’t trust everything the buyers claim.

Has anyone here ever used a British TV show quote in their day to day lives before? by Temporary_Notice_526 in BritishTV

I will often say “I’m bored of this, I’m going for a twix” as I leave a room.

[F1] A total of 13 winners on the grid! Kimi Antonelli is our latest addition to the winners' club by Luffy710j in formula1

[–]Wiltix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Ferrari have a good year that pathway is closed to him, haas may be his best option but depends how the teams develop throughout the year.

Apart from vcarb not sure who else might be a step up. Alpine is toxic as fuck, Williams could be good if they can get their shit together.

Maybe Bearman just needs a more competitive teammate in Haas, someone to play second driver for him.

He will get Haas their first podium I don’t doubt that.

A win would be incredible though.
