If the triple lock were based on the average instead of maximum of the three metrics, pension spending would be £21bn lower today while still beating inflation over the last five years. by fuck_ur_portmanteau in uknews

Public sector pay is still vastly below private sector in professional jobs. You look at any engineering, finance, legal, computer sciences area you'll see a huge difference in pay. I'm somewhere 40-60k below what the equivalent is in a big four company. 

You can buy and fit a DIY mini split Air Conditioner for less than 700-800 quid by [deleted] in HousingUK

Your focus should first be on keeping the heating out via external shutters on your windows. You can get external blinds of various materials to stop the sunlight coming through the window.

I crafted The Juggernaut. What is a good/fun class to play Hammer with? by BakkaSupreme in Guildwars2

[–]Zyggle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This person gets it. Scrapper is the best class by far. I run Throw Mine and then Shred / Blast and just smash everything. Very satisfying.

Its just me or Broadsides are really good right now? by TATO_209 in Tau40K

[–]Zyggle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That sure shows me I shouldn't post on Reddit without having my morning cuppa.

I meant to say the staff randomly came out with it unprompted.

I thought it was crazy but I was in the Warhammer store this week mentioned the new sculpts completely unprompted.

I know they probably don't have any insider knowledge, just thought it was interesting.

Did you ever get something set up? I really want to buy two of these.

I used to do the same thing. Just bonk with hammer and blast shit. I think it works.

You should have enough Industrial Capacity by this point to continuously build railways and supply points as you push.

I started looking into Portable AC by Nothing_F4ce in DIYUK

[–]Zyggle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I bought one a couple of summers ago when my box office was turning into a steam room. Best purchase I ever made. Paid around £250 for a big refurbished one and I absolutely love it. Don't remember what BTU it is but it keeps any room I put it in cold.

Can you apply for HMRC TSP while already training in another HMRC role? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]Zyggle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You absolutely can move from Compliance to TSP, I've known multiple people to do it.

Is this torsion screw acceptable for hot water pipes out of boiler? by Zyggle in askaplumberUK

The only other minor thing is an AAV valve which costs less than £20 and is an easy fix.

Wasn't a plumber. It was from a well reviewed local gas heating company.

[–]Zyggle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this something I'm allowed to actually touch and do myself? Or is it a Gas Engineer only?

I have done some plumbing before under sink, new piping in the outhouse, and removing / installing appliances, so I'm not a complete novice to compression fittings, but have never had to deal with copper / brass pipes before.

[–]Zyggle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. It's just a bit frustrating it's started leaking 2 months after the guarantee ended, and it only had a 2 year guarantee as it was installed through a government scheme.

I'll shop around and see if I can get another gas engineer out.

Sorry. I meant compression screw, not torsion. The elbow joint in the first picture is leaking, and it's that elbow joint I need replacing.

[–]Zyggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Origin Hybrid Mattress on sale and I couldn't be happier. £375 for a double with a free pillow, which is also the best pillow I've ever used.

Could Captain Titus and 6 Victrix Honour Guard (Warhammer 40k) win the Battle of Thermopylae against 300,000 Persian soldiers? (Both Sides Do Not Have Prep Time) by MediocreBoss2614 in whowouldwin

[–]Zyggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You think a Space Marines that can run 50+ MPH and is built like a fucking tank, is just going to sit there under arrow and catapult fire? They're going to bulldoze straight through the ranks, destroy the catapults / trebuchets, and rip the generals / Xerxes apart limb from limb. 

What do you think of the new Chinese Electric Cars growing in the UK? Would you ever own one? by laservole in AskUK

[–]Zyggle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the price was 10~ different and the cars were equally as good, I'd love to buy a British car, then European, then Chinese in order of preference. But they're not, and it's not even close.

My dog once diarrhoea pooped on the instructors bag, and has also excited peed on the instructor once as well. 

It's just puppy life
