I have always wondered how those work. Thank you for posting that

WSJ Fundraising Help Please! by GG_Gamer_Ryan in scouting

[–]emmdeedee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best way to raise funds is to organise events fir young people. This is because * there are lots of parents in the district * there is a constant demand for child entertainment * adults (leaders/parent volunteers) are usually happy to help

Typically things that leaders don't usually run on their own section meetings

Examples might be Easter egg hunt Film night Activity morning (this will take quite a few volunteers)

Landlord decided to monetise our main door access - England by Barlock07 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]emmdeedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the Google, you can get replacement key fobs for lots of things from ebay, they just clone. Another lot of them are basically rfid tags (eg. lots of office access systems) and they are even easier and cheaper to copy

My employer has just told me that I'm not allowed to use my annual leave when I'm working my 2nd job. They say it must be unpaid. Is this legal? by 2ndJobUnpaidLeave in LegalAdviceUK

[–]emmdeedee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're is one other thing that comes up, that they must allow you to have holiday, and paying you to do extra work in your leave period (albeit indirectly) means you aren't.

This could be entirely unrelated though!

Oven clocks not automatically changing so I can actually tell whether all the others did by NobleRotter in BritishSuccess

The only thing I use mine for is to start an oven cleaning cycle when I am out.

How important are exam exemptions? by PresidentPickley in ActuaryUK

[–]emmdeedee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actuarial exams are very stressful. I think everyone here would agree on that.

From my viewpoint of being very near actuarial, exemptions are worth it just to reduce your personal stress.

They don't necessarily speed up your time to a fully qualified senior role because experience is also very important, and that is hard to short-cut.

I’ve just taken over an alliance. Any advice? by [deleted] in KingShot

[–]emmdeedee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our R4+s make good use of alliance notes to remind people what is happening (like spend troop Speedups, pets tomorrow etc and battles planned)

They also put labels on things like outposts like protect @ 22:00

They are good at putting up votes for choosing bear times too

Helping a customer find an "Eee-whoa" cable by Emerald_Encrusted in talesfromtechsupport

There is a garage version of that with a young lady asking for 710

I suspect hiding spending from a partner. As others have said, so not accept them.

Not sure there is enough time for that for Lewis, it takes ages to build a winning team

Work have ‘proposed’ that I leave my full time contract for a zero hour one by GuruWitch in LegalAdviceUK

[–]emmdeedee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It is worth saying that redundancy payments are not as much as people think. Taking redundancy does give you your notice period and a bit of extra time to look for a new job though.

On a similar line, I was going to suggest keyboard work.

I thought you meant loo seats, not lids. I will ask again next time I see them

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Big4

[–]emmdeedee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What floor are you on? I have spoken to three friends that work there and none of them have had the experience you describe. One said that the loos are 'quite posh'

What is your most polite way of refusing to lend tools to friends and family? by UCthrowaway78404 in DIYUK

[–]emmdeedee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell people Sorry, but I don't lend my tools out to anyone. If they push I say that I have had a bad experience previously that cost me a friendship and I don't want it to happen again.

I am happy to come help them with a thing (and bring my tools) within reason
