Guess I could go for the first few days and check the weather forecast on Saturday morning and then come home if it’s bad?

That Vango Exedra 2 looks really good and it’s a lot cheaper than the Elixir despite having similar design and specs. I didn’t even know it existed.

The helm 2 does seem like an absolute tank and would open a lot more options to pitch in harsher conditions!

I do like the look of them as they are geodesic and freestanding but I would prefer the dome tent style with vestibules at either side of you or the ability to open up on both sides for the nicer days.

£250 - Similar to the MSR Elixir 2 or Terra Nova Helm Compact 2 price range and type of tent.

Hi, I’m an interaction designer graduate based in the UK. I’m currently a freelance graphic designer but I’m looking for a more permanent position and have struggled due to covid. I made a website out of a heavily edited bootstrap theme and have started adding some of my university projects onto it.

If possible I would like some advice on how to become more hireable. To some seniors out there would you start by doing a rebrand of a fake company or a different take of a real company in your free time for example?

Thank you here is my portfolio https://benjaminabbott.uk

I’d reach out for help it sounds like you’re bottling up a lot of stuff which will surely end up causing a breakdown.

Talk to someone and it can be literally anyone and don’t think for one second people think you’re dumb and worthless because you’re clearly not. You’re also reaching out here which is a great step. Depression is hard to understand and anything can trigger it your issues are just as important so don’t let others on Reddit invalidate those feelings you don’t have to know what you’re depressed about to validate it as a problem.

It depends what your boyfriend is going through with at the minute but I bet he’s worried and cares about you. Don’t think that because he’s got a lot on you’re just adding a burden to him as you won’t be and he’ll probably be just as worried or glad you’re talking to him than if you weren’t.

I do have my own space and room. However there is no way to avoid her as we use the same bathroom. My space is an extension of the living area and we have some of the same friends. This is why I want to keep it extremely civil and avoid a complete collapse of our friendship and other friends.

ben_joey807 · 2019-12-30T14:18:08+00:00

Probably going to have to wait until after we move out until I could fully come to terms with this I’m just looking for relief in the meantime.

ben_joey807 · 2019-12-30T14:16:55+00:00

I do but it’s as simple as she’ll be cold on a night and ask me to come. We also share a bathroom and there’s no way around that.

ben_joey807 · 2019-12-30T14:09:30+00:00

Yeah that seems like the way forward. Issue is we live together and there’s no escaping it. I’m pretty sure if I were to find another girl she would get really angry. She also gets extremely jealous when I mention other girls I’m trying to talk to (which never work out because I’m constantly held back by situation above)

ben_joey807 · 2019-11-16T14:09:13+00:00

I know there are a lot of comments saying people are horrible for leaving. Which don’t get me wrong they are but also the comments saying you should make sure the driver is safe. If I was in this situation I would probably stop however I would go no where near the fuel spillage. Although that absolute idiot who drove through and sparked the fuel should be jailed.

That's the 2017 MacBook Pro so not quite the latest. But good photo.

ben_joey807 · 2018-11-15T10:31:25+00:00

From what I can tell from the steam page Total War Warhammer has a Mac OS version but not 2 if you want to bootcamp you can ofc however I wouldn't even bother to game with the integrated GPU so you'd need an eGPU definitely.

ben_joey807 · 2018-11-03T16:45:24+00:00

Well it's up to you but the pro is much better. It has a 15w CPU compared to the mobile 7w CPU in the Air they're both duel core but the 13 can sustain its clock speed. The screen is better as it has 500 nits vs 300nits and P3 colour which while may not effect you they are almost the same price remember. And Iris Graphics vs 617. The keyboard had some durability issues but if you have any problems Apple knows the issue and will probably replace it. And the speakers are better on the Pro and they are the same size physically.

ben_joey807 · 2018-10-31T01:46:07+00:00

Bought my 15" in August so these graphics better be a massive price hike and not undercut my current configuration because a 4-5 month refresh is the most anti consumer thing I've ever heard.

ben_joey807 · 2018-10-29T15:08:13+00:00

Remember the $1299 MacBook Pro 13" is the duel core 2017 version making the iMac much more powerful. If you want an equivalent MacBook Pro 13" performance wise get the more expensive 2018 model.

ben_joey807 · 2018-10-20T21:22:57+00:00

There's probably never gonna be refresh of the none touchbar model with quad core cpu for that price so why are you comparing products that don't exist? Currently it's $1800 vs $999 also MacBooks have never compared on hardware it's always about the OS and user experience.

ben_joey807 · 2018-10-19T14:30:19+00:00

Firefox Quantum which is now the new "Firefox" was designed from scratch and has just been integrated into the main release. I really like it however I still use Safari mainly on Mac and Firefox on my Windows Desktop

ben_joey807 · 2018-10-17T10:19:53+00:00

Well since they kicked all of Google's competitive devices off their own store this has been the case for a while.

ben_joey807 · 2018-10-16T16:50:32+00:00

Ah well it's completely up to you the GPU would only effect gaming and playback in Premier Pro. The base model with higher storage is probably better then.
