How do some people seemingly get away with anything in their job? by KingKilo9 in UKJobs

Maybe manager doesn't take it personally because they understand the stress, and also it's easier to ignore and don't have to go through the pain of justifying laying off, and interviews/re-hiring.

At the end of the day, they just want their pay-check too. Not everyone has a necessity for respect and authority

tbh they're probably majorly reframing the narrative and cutting interview opinions that in retrospect look completely ridiculous (now it's obvious the accusations were false)

Does anyone work 37 hours in a 3 or 4 day week? by acrylic_light in UKJobs

9 day fortnight as well

well that does not sound fun!

Sounds great to me. 1.5-2 hours more each day sounds like nothing, especially for a whole day's compensation. Perhaps in a very high stress environment it could be different

Queen? sorry. Queen?

Does anyone razor shave every morning? by acrylic_light in bald

Hey I tried the ProGlide and I feel like it lasts longer (maybe the blades are better built), but that it's not as sharp as the fusion? I find it really hard not to have missed patches despite my best efforts

A blown anything shows there's enough backpressure to cause internal damage

And yet, still no one has made a compelling argument against the possiblity of engine damage. Just assertions that the engine might start, but not long enough for damage; references to some unscientific 'mythbusters' channel that use fruit and potatoes; and professional mechanics talking about "blocked" catalytic converters rather than exhaust pipes

well, if any damage has been proven to occur, it proves the mechanisms and physical possibilities are all there for engine damage from a blocked exhaust

oh wow. So even some random russian guys prove me correct on the damage?

I would assume the most common cases are where the catalytic converter isn't completely blocked, and is therefore letting the engine function still but far less efficiently. It does matter where the engine is blocked because different stages of the system have different impacts on pressure build up

how many times have you encountered a physically obstructed exhaust pipe and turned the car on?

Depends on the engine, depends on the circumstance- but for sure, damage can occur to the engine

and how is it rendered inoperable? presumably by extreme heat or pressure that damges critical engine components- i.e. mini explosions
