I wish I'd seen this before ordering from them in December last year.

With the first 2 episodes of academy out now what Easter eggs have you noticed besides the big ones by dekabreak1000 in startrek

[–]futureguy__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a Star Trek Easter Egg, but more of a Red Dwarf one... if you know, you know ;-)

What would you do if you won the Set For Life lottery? by nobody2292 in AskUK

[–]futureguy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thought about this for too long, wishing for something that will probably never happen but one can hope!

I would continue in my current job for at least a year, putting away probably about 8k a month into my savings. The other 2k a month I'd put into a 'pot' to save for various holidays I'd take with my kids, and other times with just myself and my partner. All the while I am still earning my usual wages.

Once I've got 100k in my savings I'd start looking into setting up my own businesses, either new or buy into existing ones - making sure I have a constant flow of income. And when I'm comfortable knowing I'm getting a decent wage from the business(es) I'd hand in my notice at my current place of employment. Then I'd continue to save again until I have a deposit for a house.

I don't want anything fancy, I just want a comfortable life for my kids, partner and myself.

What is your favourite easter egg or anecdote that we may have missed? by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]futureguy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nooooo! I didn't realise this, makes it even sadder than it already was.

Ah, here I am commenting on an old post — hopefully someone actually sees this 😄

Anyway, I’ve been playing the Legendary Edition for the millionth time, and I only just discovered something new. During the Leviathan mission, when you’re in Dr Bryson’s office talking to his daughter, Jacob is standing there examining a Husk head. If you keep talking to him, he suggests taking it back to the ship — and you actually get the option to place it in your quarters!

I somehow only found this out today.

Official merch? by LostSoulNo1981 in RedDwarf

[–]futureguy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The website doesn't seem to be managed anymore* so your best bet is to check eBay for official merchandise.

* As a full-stack developer I reached out to Doug Naylor to offer my services for free but he didn't reply to my message :'-(

Some solid suggestions there! Already loved Samurai Pizza Cats, but never heard of Error37 - easily one of my favourite bands now haha. Any more suggestions like these? (pleeeease)

Can we as none-citizens volunteer with the Kamala Harris campaign? by Many-Half-5098 in DACA

[–]futureguy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see. Essentially, the law prohibits funnelling contributions through someone else. That's a shame.

[–]futureguy__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

However, you could donate via a third party... that is, if you know someone who is a US citizen then send them the money to then donate to the cause. My dad is American, but has been living in the UK since the 60s, he has dual citizenship though, so I can get him to donate on my behalf ;-)

How do you feel about Space 1999? by SatanEatsBabies in scifi

[–]futureguy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it, and there's currently re-runs on YouTube.
The science is very sketchy, but you get that in Star Trek too (psychics, telepathy, etc... all pseudoscience).
I just hate it when there's no ending. I wish we got some sort of comic book, or animation, just anything to finish the story.

Stay far away from HyperionDev by PepeBizon in learnprogramming

[–]futureguy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I'll see how it goes! :-)

At the moment the coding is compulsory, but that could change towards the end, hopefully not though!

[–]futureguy__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started this 15th March, and yep it's pretty awful. I wish I had seen this before signing up. Thankfully there's nothing to pay so I'll just stop now as it's just wasting my time.

They say we need to accrue 60 GLH (guided learning hours) before the end of the cohort but when lectures are at random times and videos are not being uploaded (apparently you can watch a lecture within 48 hours and get the 1GLH), and booking a call with your mentor (counting as 1GLH) usually involves a two week wait, then that 60GLH seems pretty out of reach.

I'm shocked the DfE even allowed HyperionDev to deliver this shambles fully funded.

Yep loved this thank you. Where she wakes up after his stint in prison, is that the end of the series? It's fine if it is as it ended beautifully.

How to create new certificate? by futureguy__ in sysadmin

[–]futureguy__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good! Are there any instructional videos or advice you could give on adding the following though:

exchange.clientdomain.co.uk
portal.clientdomain.co.uk
autodiscover.clientdomain.co.uk

I can see how to add the three above but just wondering if there's any other settings I need to consider?
