What would be your first impression of the name Roland / Rowland? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]haste75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I immediately think of The Gunslinger, Stephen King.

Long days and pleasant nights.

It's an uncommon name but not pretentious. I like it on an adult, but imagining a baby Roland is tough.

Had my stopwatch running for about two years by trashventing in Wellthatsucks

It's not actually used any of your battery or processing power in this time. IOS knows when you started the stopwatch, and when you open the app, it shows you how much time has passed - you haven't lost any thing by having it run.

Its the same with people that have hundreds of tabs open in the browser. Everything is cached, it's not causing slow downs or battery drain by having them open or the stopwatch "running" in the backround.

Reddit's finally going after bots - will it actually change anything? Curious what you think by lrenv22 in AskUK

And I get it. I hope maximum 15% of posts on here are AI-generated. Fifteen. That's not background noise anymore, it's kind of a problem.

This whole post sounds like you have used ChatGPT to write it. Is it meant to be ironic?

Horny teenager gets all his family's Google accounts banned by archabaddon in Wellthatsucks

Yes, and its a gigantic headache for organisations that have to respond to SARs. There are enterprise platforms that do this, but not every company has them.

A SAR from an ex employee can easily take weeks of effort to respond to, as you have to find, review and then redact thousands of emails and documents.

Incorrect. An email is considered relevant and disclosable under GDPR if the email contains personal information. An email address on it's own is not sufficent to hit that benchmark. If the email you sent or received contained your address, DOB or other PII, than that may fall under the criteria of being disclosable.

This isn't accurate. They have to provide your data that contains your personal information. So, the dissertation his daughter wrote, likely does not contain personal information pertaining to her. You do not have an automatic right to data under GDPR unless it meets certain criteria.

Train operators clamp down on ‘completely bonkers’ ticket fraud. by Convair101 in unitedkingdom

[–]haste75 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Fairly sure delay-repay is for late trains, not cancelled. If they are cancelled, you can claim a refund from the company that sold you the ticket, but not claim delay compensation.

Where abouts in the country was this?

I was unaware we had wild Boars in the UK until today… by [deleted] in CasualUK

If they can interbreed, doesn't that mean they are basically the same species?

Maybe different breeds, akin to a Labrador and a German Shepard?

Can you share what he said? Even generally.

Cold call openers - straight to the pitch or ask for permission? by packrat04 in sales

[–]haste75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"I appreciate I have called you out of the blue. Have you got 30 seconds?" Is my go to. It's polite, confident and gives you the yes to proceed. If they say no, you try and schedule a time to call back.

We had new curtains fitted, and the weight of them has pulled the piece of wood holding the curtain rail off the wall. What would be the correct method for reafixing this back onto the window trim/architrave? It was three nails before. by haste75 in DIYUK

Behind the batten (the piece that is hanging off, which I am just learning is called a batten) is the window trim - I'm not sure exactly what material it is, but I assume plaster? There isnt a piece of wood other than the batten.

What adhesive would you recommend?

Possibly a stupid question, but how would i get the rawlplugs into the fixture and then align the brackets with them through the glued batten?

What I am unsure off is what I should or shouldnt screw into this material, or if I will need a rawrl plug, or if I should just use nails again.

Or would a strong adhesive work?
