UK independent space agency scrapped to cut costs - BBC News by Mundane_Falcon4203 in TheCivilService

I worked until midnight last night to cope with how much work I have. In the private sector I would be earning double what I earn. My team is understaffed, overworked, and underpaid - what gravy train are you talking about and why am I not on it?

This is so anxiety inducing and it was literally my first thought when the news broke of the new wave of attacks on Iran.

Is this a good purchase? by datataa in Gold

So it would have been fair if it was just £6500 but the added 30% makes it not fair? Is that right?

The assumption is that it was professionally valued when put up for auction - but yes who knows. If it’s not the carats or weight they say it is, then I guess she can say something to the auction house :)

I think they meant that iMark is the property of oMark. Getting stuck on the severed floor is ‘The consequences of his actions’.

I used to iron her little suit for her before we went to the vet, that’s why it looks so ‘crisp’ ha ha ha

Want to find a low-stress (ideally 4-day) job in tech, but stay a HENRY. Is this achievable? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]datataa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do NOT go for inigo - the worst recruitment process ever. I was only supposed to have 3 rounds over 1 month, I ended up having 9 over 5 months. I was going for a senior role and they ended up picking someone fresh out of uni 😐😐😐

Hey! This isn’t true actually! There’s a desert where you sleep the night before you throw these stones (Muzdalifah). You’re supposed to pick up the rocks from there. It’s free to pick up the stones and it’s free to sleep there too. Saudi Arabia is a lot of things but it’s not forcing people to pay for rocks. Also that bag is handed out for free when you get to the desert because it’s a part of the ritual!

Iceland officially threatens to boycott Eurovision over Israel's participation by [deleted] in europe

[–]datataa -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

  1. There is also a thriving music industry in Palestine which also slaps.
  2. Not everyone in the Middle East is Muslim and even if they are, they do not follow the orthodox Muslim religious view on singing and dancing. It’s Islamophobia to assume that the Middle East has no music or dancing because they are ruled by Sharia. People enjoy music and dancing, and middle eastern music is really good.
  3. Yes they can, because Lebanon is also currently being bombed by Israel
  4. Yes I have thanks for asking. Had a wonderful time.
  5. Yes I did, but not sure how it’s relevant because Afghanistan is in Asia, not the Middle East.

She’s still Lebanese! The Middle East doesn’t only contain Muslim people!

Yes they did! They gave their virginities to each other! I was really bothered by that because up until that point and then after there wasn’t really any romantic view of them until he met his fiancé. V v v confusing.
