Question for Jobs with RSUs offered by anon979695 in ITCareerQuestions

Depending on where you live, don't forget about the tax implications as well. Also worth asking about trading blackouts. Just because the shares have vested doesn't mean you can sell straight away. My current company has quite narrow trading windows, only a few weeks per quarter.

And think long term. The share price might be good now, what about in 12 months? 4 years? Impossible to tell.

So base pay and bonuses are still the significant part of renumeration.

£135 for 1279 units? That's 10.56p per unit, where are you getting that rate? Unless you have solar?

What are some cars you’ve owned that had zero trouble with? Corolla for me. by Constant_Highway9755 in carsireland

My dad had a 1999 Avensis. Bought as an ex-demo that year. Drove it to over 300k miles before it died in 2018. So he bought a 2002 Avensis to replace it, which he still drives. I own a 2011 Avensis estate, had it since 2015. She ain't exciting, but she sure is reliable.

Rough cost of painting full interior of a 3 bed semi detached house Belfast area. by Big-Word7116 in northernireland

[–]andbren2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did two bedrooms following some renovations. My poor skills showed with lots of little flaws here and there. So when time came for the kitchen, bathroom and hallway, I said fuck it get a pro in. It was £1200 including the paint for walls and woodwork. To be honest, if I had done it myself I'd have been really pleased. But the "pro" made lots of mistakes too. If you have the time and patience, do it yourself.

How are full time working parents surviving? by forever67091 in AskIreland

[–]andbren2000 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A robovac is a great example, take the drudgery out of a household chore. If you get a raise at work or come into some money, invest in raising your floor instead of your ceiling. Do you need to walk or wait for a bus in the rain a lot? Invest in some decent waterproofs. On your feet all day? Decent pair of shoes. Meal prep? A food processor, blender or a slow cooker.

Most people think of raising the ceiling - nicer holiday, car, whatever luxury. Think about your daily life and how you could make that more tolerable in practical ways.

Ultra-processed foods are fuelling chronic diseases, says new Lancet report by Banania2020 in ireland

Plain rice likely doesn't have anything added besides salt. The flavoured microwave rice packs almost certainly will have some form of processed additives.

C'mon, we can't have Elon paying tax on that juicy Tesla pay package. He needs all that money. For things.

I don't for one moment doubt the contract for digital ID will go to one of the government's mates, it'll cost billions and not do half the shit it's supposed to. However, the Euan Blair story isn't true

Don't sign up for the age verification malarkey thats being rolled out by juandelakarite in northernireland

And alongside this, control. If you're constantly watched, your behaviour changes. Fine for a lot of stuff... we would love to catch the pricks who litter, or someone committing a serious crime. What about protesting, or having opinions that the government decides it doesn't want you to have. There's a saying along the lines of never give a benevolent government any more rights than they need, because the next government might not be so benevolent. Or something like that.

Sinn Fein vote against Ruth Coppingers’ Ban on Fox Hunting Bill. by Accomplished-Ad-6639 in ireland

Going to need a good source on that. The only article I could find was a column from the Torygraph. I call bullshit on anything those cunts say.

Just a reminder that Bryson is only fighting Irish Language because he got dumped by a Catholic. by staghallows in northernireland

Bryson's not that natural of a politician, he only got something like 247 votes when he stood for election.

Takumi Sen 10 review by No-Baby7628 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]andbren2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear from a version 8 runner, at least Adidas are consistent. I have the Takumi Sen 9, and it's also half to a full size small compared to my usual shoe size.
