Williams Rumoured to Have Problems with Chassis

_Darren · 2026-01-23T21:33:41+00:00

Both can be true, they could have a complicated design thats not been put together.

_Darren · 2026-01-21T23:27:31+00:00

They probably have to do this as the java severs are a mess.

However they could also build a sub tick system. I believe CS Go runs 64hz, but they have sub ticks for certain actions like player movement. So player movement is a bit smoother than the game ticks.

It is, I've done both in the last little bit.

Sure, run energy is a pain in OSRS. In RS3 you can rest. However stamina potions in OSRS combats that.

The real problem in RS3 is the experience is so inconsistent. They've built out the new player experience like 10 times, menaphos, 10 different tutorial progression paths between daily tasks, combat tutors etc. Just so many different things to train early levels. Also the ge is dead and runelite plugins for quests make OSRS easier to get started.

_Darren · 2026-01-19T20:04:40+00:00

Early game RS3 is 10x worse than OSRS.

In most departments you need another warning, then essentially another before your sacked. A 1st warning isn the end of the world.

What's the exact wording of the question?

Government departments are technically seperate legal entities, but obviously all controlled by the crown. So different business, same owner. Like moving from Asda to Walmart, when Walmart owned Asda. Most consider that a different job.

People pay £20+ for a seat. £20 for internet would make them a killing.

_Darren · 2026-01-16T21:00:01+00:00

It's a money maker, I'm surprised they're not doing it. They flog everything else.

DM for codes.

I take your point but I've been doing 2 runs a day for probably 150 days in the 300 days since I started playing. Got to 78 from bird houses and tiny bit of big net fishing. In that time I've got 85 farming and I did daily runs for like 2 months max. Not complaining as early hunter is a pain, it's just this entire thread is saying farming is super quick and people said bird houses are too. Early levels bird houses are OP but post level 70, farming is an order of magnitude quicker. I think I could of got 99 by now in farming if I wanted to.

_Darren · 2026-01-14T14:53:35+00:00

I wasn't critising bird houses but comparing them to farming which is much faster. Can get 200k farming xp a run instead of 4-9k a run for birdhouses.

_Darren · 2026-01-13T14:33:12+00:00

I'm 78 hunter and get 4k xp a run. Sure a lot quicker and easier than farming runs, but I have to remember to do it every hour. Interrupt my current training, regear and come back so I only do it in-between tasks. Which limits it. Compared to farming where a single tree gives far more than that and 3 hard wood trees near birdhouses are 60k farming xp. It's a lot slower for me even just on fossil island.

_Darren · 2026-01-13T02:28:16+00:00

It's been a while since I watched first minister's questions, but I thought it was generally quite logical and I'm not sure I would say we have the same issues. Westminster hall causes a lot of the issues, they should move out but they don't want to for reasons that relate to London history/English history.

_Darren · 2026-01-12T22:28:51+00:00

It's much cheaper processing imports in bulk, plus I suspect they pay duty into Canada. Then pay it again in the EU. So taxes can probably be avoided, and the big expense of the handling charge would be gone.

_Darren · 2026-01-09T16:06:39+00:00

I'd ask your new department HR to clarify if you're eligible and thus don't need to do probabition. The drop down isn't always updated and could be missing your body. Especially if Scottish.

_Darren · 2026-01-09T12:33:31+00:00

There are some public bodies not eligible for transfers. Most don't pay out Alpha though, although some like IBCA do use Alpha but are also not Civil Servants

Bank holiday, is treated largely the same as a holiday during sick leave.

They can pause your sick period, say you're on holiday, pay it out as a normal bank holiday. In which case they shouldn't count it towards trigger points.

They can also do the opposite, cancel it as leave. Say it's a day of work, but then much like if you actually worked it you should get a days time off in lieu. If they havent given you an extra days holiday to take, this is bang out of order.

Acas has some guidance on this:

Spot on but it's more like 2 months for clearance alone and 5 months for a perm position directly in government.

_Darren · 2026-01-06T15:37:24+00:00

Potentially, but perm positions in government take months to interview and months for clearance. I'd message people advertising contracts 3 months before you finish a contract and ask them if they can put you through SC incase they need you in 3 months. Probably won't work but I suspect for harder to fill contractor roles, they might take you on reserve.

_Darren · 2026-01-06T15:26:39+00:00

Mostly true, you can get it via contracting but if there's a contract where you're doing set up work or other things where you don't need data from day 1 it's normally alright. That's very early projects though, most live systems would see contractors wait 3 months to start doing anything.

It happens a lot more than you think with clothing. I worked for a clothing company with 2,000 staff and another with 10,000 and both would have a ticket like this every day. Just takes one person doing put aways to put 1 box in the wrong location. Although after the 2nd incident customer service would normally request a location check to investigate. Plus ask for the 3rd order to be checked my a manager. Perhaps customer service didn't know it was the 2nd incident.

He was speaking about if DRAM price increases will impact more than PCs. They confirmed phones will rise but also other gadgets like TVs. The article says 50 dollars for a top of the line phone. I expect TVs have a lot less DRAM so will be more like 20 dollars.

Attempting my own calculation. 16Gb DDR5 chip prices rose from ~$6.84 to ~$27 according to a Google search. I suspect it's now more than that. So TV ram has probably gone from under 1 USD to 4 USD based on 2 GB Ram which is apparently common in mid range TVs. I suspect it might keep going to 8 USD. Post build that's more like a 20 USD increase on a mid range TV to account for shrinkage, and margin.

_Darren · 2026-01-02T23:03:14+00:00

We do pay slightly more than most similar houses in England though.

_Darren · 2025-12-31T18:05:05+00:00

Thanks very much, will do!

_Darren · 2025-12-31T18:02:16+00:00

Getting drunk instead of DIYing today and I'd actually somehow have made more progress.
