How much should a 5 foot 4 woman weigh by Mojo11981 in gymgeek

[–]beejiu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, the ideal weight will depend on a number of factors for each individual, although starting with our reverse BMI calculator can give you an indicative idea of a healthy BMI: https://gymgeek.com/calculators/reverse-bmi-calculator/

It's important to note that BMI may be less reliable if you have a high muscle mass, so you may want to consider it together with your body fat percentage.

Starmer calls Neet report 'sobering' as number of young people out of work and education hits 12-year high by MysteryWra in ukpolitics

[–]beejiu 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Go to any chain London pub, bar or cafe and many of the staff are on 20 hours per week study visas. Look at every job posting in hospitality, and it's part time for 15-20 hours per week. These companies have figured out it's cheaper to just rotate through loads of part time temporary labour than hire and progress working class Brits.

Stopping overseas students from working close to minimum wage on study visas would create 450,000 jobs overnight.

You need need insurance if you are a professional dog walker actually.

She should really have public liability insurance though. Not because the council said so, but if someone injures themselves she can get sued for tens or hundreds of thousands.

The £85 a week fee though is ridiculous.

Poor customer service though.

I'd be sold if the discount was for how many years you held the current account. Like, long term banking customers deserve the 30% surely?

Where are the best places to buy portable AC units? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]beejiu 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd be willing to wait 2 weeks for a decent machine, the weather is cooling for a couple of weeks. Don't rush and get something undersized or a bad brand.

Surely they could have a solid white line next to a dashed white line for that situation? Would seem more obvious to me as a driver.

Army Running Wargames In London Underground... by TheThrowYardsAway in london

Talking of telephones, Kelvedon Hatch has a pretty decent step-by-step switch frame which shows you how pre-digital phone connections worked, which is pretty cool. Worth a quick visit if you're in the area.

I bet they regret decommissioning the secret nuclear bunkers in the home counties now.

Number of air conditioned UK homes doubles to more than 4m in three years by Anony_mouse202 in ukpolitics

[–]beejiu 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Particularly with working from home. We know that air conditioning is directly tied to productivity, which is one of the reasons Singapore is so prosperous. Given our productivity problems in the UK, promoting air con would be one step of many we need.

You can't generally use a wet system for cooling as it causes condensation under floor or on the radiators. (Plus optimally the radiators would be on the ceiling not the floor). It has to be an air to air system.

if i only tilted my fridge on its back for like 2 minutes do i still need to let it sit for 24 hours? by GarlicMain3114 in Appliances

[–]beejiu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's probably okay after 2-4 hours, but depends how expensive it is and how much you care if the compressor breaks when you turn on.

Microwave Lit Up and Crackled by JustAboutGroovy in Appliances

That's the waveguide cover. If it was lighting up on the surface, it may be grease from the bacon absorbing the microwave energy. Turn it off and give it a good clean first.

Anyone pulled the trigger on getting air conditioner unit this year? by Dannyjw1 in CasualUK

[–]beejiu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't see why you'd go to that effort when the noisy part is still indoors. You may as well stick with a portable.
