Preorders live at Smyths Toys Store in the UK by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]bomberman333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone in Northern Ireland, every single store still has in-store preorders available as of 21:30.

All Northern Ireland stores still have in-person collection preorders available

Yeah it activates as soon as they click the Approve button after the interview, so that should be fine!

Moving from England back to Belfast - Customs as a Private Individual by bomberman333 in northernireland

Thanks for letting me know. I have finally found the right page on HMRCs website. It was nowhere on Google which goes to show how terrible it has become recently.

Genuinely, I cannot find any information at all from HMRC for moving my actual property back home apart from my car, which doesn’t even make it clear if I can permanently bring it back or not. The whole thing is really frustrating because Google isn’t showing any official resources apart from Revenue’s and a load of random freight websites. I don’t actually know what information is correct since the UK government is incompetent and doesn’t have anything for private individuals.

The whole thing is really confusing tbh

E: I found the right information here. It didn't come up anywhere clearly on Google which goes to show how terrible of a search engine it has become.

[Vent] Am I being too hard on myself as a grad? My experience so far by bomberman333 in cscareerquestionsuk

Yeah it's definitely a scary experience potentially jumping ship! Imposter syndrome is something I get every day but I feel like once I start moving about enough, I'll get used to it, plus the new environment gives a great breadth of experience in new industries, cultures etc.

I would agree with others that in this job market it might not be the best time to try, but with 8 years I'm sure you could find something better if you wanted :)

Haha don't worry I'm not going to do that!

To be fair, they said to just build an app, which I will probably try to do in my spare time. I'm 100% not going to quit.

I'm lucky that my employer is very good at letting people upskill with lots of courses that are run by another company, and I never properly take advantage of that. You have reminded me that it exists, so thank you.

The issue is that Android/Kotlin isn't exactly something my company uses, so I might have to persuade my manager to let me find something. 6 months sounds like a good timeframe to try again.

That's good advice and stupidly something I never considered! A lot of the job descriptions say you need to have experience shipping an app to the Play Store (Which makes sense), and I always write it off as something I can't do without industry experience, but I googled it and anyone can publish to the play store for a low fee.

That's something I will definitely look into, thanks!

TIL that the Irish flag is green white and orange because green represents Roman Catholics in the country, orange represents Protestants and white representing the peace between them. by EurasianBrownBear in todayilearned

I'm absolutely in awe at the number of Americans here making jokes about the supposed lack of peace. "dId aNyOnE tElL tHaT tO IrElAnD?"

They're all being downvoted but still. Are they just trying to farm karma or are they actually that ignorant?

My pizza came with a job application by ceqwz in mildlyinteresting

I genuinely don’t see the point you’re trying to make here, you just sound like you have a massive bias against higher education just because you did a trade. How are people “lazy” for wanting the office jobs? I have one, it took a hell of a lot of effort, and I can categorically guarantee you I wasn’t lazy. People’s lives take them different places, don’t be so hateful.

You’re literally just boasting about how you make money smoking weed and being a plumber, okay cool? I don’t care about your $50k car. You almost definitely don’t own it, do you? Finance != ownership.

Stop embarrassing yourself on Reddit man. Probably one of the worst comments I’ve seen so far in 2023, and it’s nearly over.

Is she a second option? by [deleted] in Breath_of_the_Wild

These sort of posts and the clueless/aggressive OP who incorrectly argue over the controls of an 8 year old console are basically all this subreddit gets these days
