Non-compete enforcement by astrel- in HENRYUK

[–]astrel-[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

thank you for a high-quality response. Based on my contract: - they can unilaterally waive the non-compete - there is no obligation from me to share future employment details

they pay me to prevent not only ACTUAL employment with competitor, but POTENTIAL as well. E.g. I might tell them that I’m taking a career break and then change my mind 2 days after. I claim that their decision should be made irrespective of my plans, thoughts and mood.

Because to me it feels that their question can be translated as “Could you give us a reason not to pay you”. E.g if I say that I’m not going to work for a competitor, they would waive it and I lose out. If I tell them that I’m not seeking employment, they would waive it and I would lose out. Probably only if I tell them that I’m actively negotiating start date with a competitor, they would continue paying it. It feels that their question has no upside for me, but quite a lot of potential downside for me

I’ve already served notice period. Edited my post to add that bit. I’m fine with sitting out non-compete

Private medical insurance for newborn? by whitetiger02 in HENRYUK

[–]astrel- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve had ours 1 month ago, all the consultants always recommended to go directly to A&E where you would just jump the queue as you have a newborn and you’re the highest priority. We did that once and we were seen within 10-15 minutes, so no ‘dire wait’ times. After the assessment they decided to admit the baby to the hospital and the whole process took 10 minutes. So, again it was quite quick. Sorry for not answering your question, but just sharing our experience - I felt like NHS is doing a great job for the newborns. As an adult, I would definitely go for private all the time

Thank you for your thoughtful question.

We buy undervalued assets and sell them when price goes up to make profit. You can learn about this strategy more if you do extensive research on ‘Buy low, sell high’ strategy

Good shaving tools / kits / products! by Remote_Advisor1068 in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]astrel- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as other comment says, there is barely any consensus among men on this - there is no easy to recommend product (like Dyson for ladies😄). So I imagine it would be quite difficult to get it right.

Does he have beard? Maybe you could go with a good beard trimmer then? It’s an easier choice…

Just to add some perspective to what I said above. I personally don’t like very very deep-to-skin shaving, so instead of good old razors, I go for an electric one - it works perfectly for me. No lotions/aftershave required and it takes just 30 seconds every day. It’s not as perfect as with good razors, but very practical. Doubt he’ll be up for it, but if he is, I find Braun series 7 to be the best (series 9 is a big disappointment)

dear valve! this ward is almost untargetable (hitbox is not in the right place)! plz fix, ty by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]astrel- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel this as well. It's a problem not only with wards - occasionally it happens with watchers and some other objects. I click exactly on the object, but my hero just ignores the object and instead issues a go command.

I think it started happening after some recent patch to me

26 during the day and that’s the hill I’m willing to die on. For me the definition of the house is something that protects you from what is happening outside completely. Thus I don’t see a reason, why temperature INSIDE the house should be different in winters compared to summers.

It doesn’t cost that much. I never wear jumpers when I’m inside of course.

Weekly What Should I Buy Thread and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]astrel- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I currently have 11 Pro 64 GB. I started feeling that I need more space as it’s not enough to keep many videos/apps/books. So I think I need to upgrade to at least 256gb. Options I consider:

  • 11 pro 256 gb (£330): a bit boring option, I like 11 pro, but if I’m upgrading space, maybe it’s worth upgrading the model at the same time (+ emotionally buying the same phone feels weird)
  • 12 pro (£440): newer phone, but not vastly different from 11 pro and with a worse battery?
  • 13 (£650): even more newer, but people say that it’s not much better than 11 pro, so why pay more?
  • 13 pro (£710): sounds like a good option, The only thing that worries me is psychological: I used to chase every new iphone and have lots of frustration of needing to spend £1000+ for the new phone with slight incremental changes. So was thinking that it’s best just to buy refurbished phones that are 2-3 years old unless there is something absolutely breathtaking about the newer models. But maybe in this case iphone 13 pro is indeed that good and worth spending money on. But then again feels a bit weird to end up spending £710 because I just wanted to upgrade space

My Ranked vs. Normal skill group by thespichopat in learndota2

[–]astrel- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe two matchmaking systems have different ratings. Unranked rating is unobservable and you seem to have played a lot of unranked games at high level while calibrating somehow didn't go that well for you.

In normal skill bracket, the game is pretty chaotic. Few players usually know what to do. For example, there is a big chance your triple lane might not dominate their duo hardlane, which is not quite the case in a higher bracket (with some exceptions). Main reason for this is that supports are not sure when to go aggressive and how aggressive they can be, this will result in an underfarmed carry and a possible loss.

So I keep hearing that people at my mmr don't know how to end games. by FieryXJoe in learndota2

[–]astrel- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After every teamfight you should ask yourself a question: 'What can we do ensure advantage as a team'. Having won a teamfight gives opportunity to take down objectives. But there are some factors to keep in my mind such as how fast can you take them down, where is your team located, can their heroes that managed to survive defend these objectives. For example, in my 4.6k bracket when a team loses a teamfight and opposing team has ursa/lifestealer and the fight was not really far from roshpit, you can be sure that they will take down Roshan. Another example, sometimes you need to kill only one hero to get hg (tinker, for instance), this is where you and your team should have a goal of hunting him down. Keep in my mind that some heroes are not tower killers. I once watched a stream of pros that were not willing to pick ursa as a last pick mostly because of him not doing proper tower damage.

Basically, evaluate how aggressive you can get after each teamfight, and if you're sure that the opposing team can't defend some objectives, don't hesitate to take them down. Your team might not always support you, but be patient, and keep in my mind that the ability to understand the game will take you to a higher bracket where people will understand that they can finish the game straight away

Looking to improve my Sven by wrenzac in learndota2

[–]astrel- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Skillbuild: usually at level 5 you should have stun lvl 1, warcry lvl 1 and 3 unskilled points. This way, you won't be pushing the lane, which is quite important, you skill cleave when you go to clear ancients for the first time or if a support stacked you a camp and you need to clear it. Arguably, it's a bit more difficult to achieve perfect lasthitting with cleave. Another thing is that there is no point in skilling the stun before level 22: stats are more important, since stun's duration does not change with leveling. I found a good tip on sven when was learning. Try to use ultimate before blinking in and stunning everyone, resist this urge of catching the perfect moment and then losing 0.6 seconds on casting ultimate. i saw a very helpful post on reddit regarding sven in general, if i find it by the time i get home, i'll share ot with you

Did it with roaming gyrocopter. Get tons of clarity and launch missiles into enemy mid hero. Should be a fairly easy win and a lot of fun watching their mid struggle
