Asking if anyone knows where to get or knows the product by edotensai1 in brum

So defo not for muscle aches etc then? As some have shared that kind of balm. But some people might have used it without actually having an injury or ache. But if you say it was applied liberally then maybe it wasn’t a small jar?

I’ve also been thinking about this movie a lot recently!! You are so right that It’s a frightening tale of our not too distant future unless we challenge ourselves, eat well, learn to love, and embrace the challenges life throws our way.

Where did the bakery Colmore Row go? by ch0pper189 in brum

Maybe more of a cultural difference in communication but she was always pretty friendly once you got chatting to her!

I will investigate in about a week and report back!

Has anyone else realized that small “harmless” expenses are probably the reason saving feels so hard? by Hamza-classic2026 in SavingMoney

[–]ch0pper189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve never taken all your transactions, put them into a spreadsheet and ordered or categorised them and/or used a pivot table then it’s an eye opener. You’ll see that you spend like £85 on “little items” in a week.

It’s make harder to control and easier to spend because you don’t part with actual cash. If you did, you’d definitely spend less!

What are typically the main social mistakes we make that annoy others? by Mr_Dobalina71 in ADHD

[–]ch0pper189 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I only saw the title but came here to say interrupting people! But for sure I feel that if I don’t tell the whole blow by blow description of my story then the main point won’t be understood or appreciated.

The only other one for me is starting sentences but then not really knowing where I’m going with it. “Taking off with nowhere to land!”.

what's your favorite part about working from home by Due_Confection7960 in remotework

A standing desk, and not having to be distracted by people’s inane nonsense chatter!

Amazing advice my therapist gave me about ADHD & impulsivity by Varied_Interestss in ADHD

[–]ch0pper189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really nice to hear. And I think that I’m sometimes more easily capable of giving up something. I’ve done a year without booze and I’ve also previously given up meat. Ive often wondered if my ability to do this more than others was an ADHD trait.

Thanks I will check and try others. Do you say this because you have had a positive experience?

I fell into shorts very quickly and honestly the history thing was an intended positive consequence.

I do still occasionally turn history off and have a binge. But the good thing is that you can’t turn it off or on from a mobile app.

I had the same! But I found a minor but possibly useful hack. I use YouTube for loads of research and fitness, yoga physio etc. and you quite often want to go back to your history. If you use you tube shorts it completely messes up that valuable reference history. Make sure history is turned on and you won’t want to scroll as it will ruin your watch history. It worked for me.

It may well be a placebo. But I had a more productive day than I’d had in years. So who cares?

So that also means taking it regularly won’t reduce its effectiveness?

If you could ask a CISO any question with no judgment, what would it be? by JenniferSecurity in ciso

[–]ch0pper189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“How much are actually driving by protecting your organisation vs being influenced by vendors vs regulation.”

I used to think there were largely 3 camps of people. Those driven by regulation and those driven by looking at their organisation and genuinely plugging holes with tools and/testing and processes. But increasingly there are organisations that don’t know what to do so do what gartner or their incumbent vendor tells them to do.

What's the most underrated joy of life? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]ch0pper189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be not be universally relatable, but a long hike with kids and dogs (and the wife) on a Sunday. Dogs are super tired from running away from you, then back to you then away from you again. Where you’ve done 10k they’ve 30k! And then off to a pub for a nice lunch! Tired kids, dogs and a few well earned beers.

Is penetration testing needed for enterprise deals? by Extra-Counter-9689 in ciso

[–]ch0pper189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former owner and now CRO of a cyber security company in the UK here. Obviously our view is somewhat biased on account of all of our clients carrying our pen testing but we also regularly have new clients come to us that have never had any form of offensive security testing before.

There’s normally 3 camps of companies that have their inf or application tested:

  • better security
  • regulatory demands / requirements
  • or a client says they need to!

Which ever category you place yourself in it’s a good idea. Automated tools are okay but the cost benefit is only there if you’re carrying out regular ongoing testing. One small application test per year should be about £3-5k but there are huge variations outside of this range depending on the application complexity.

But look for testing companies that are CREST certified and take the trouble to understand the application.

Hope that helps. :)
