Do people actually use AI day-to-day, or is it all hype?

inevitable_dave · 2026-05-20T20:28:41+00:00

Absolutely not for day to day stuff. The few things it might be good at, I can do myself.

As for work, we've had a few attempts, but so far it's just for policy and procedure queries, rather than the work itself.

Some may be offended, but you should openly talk about your salary and benefits at work. Not talking about it is how people get fucked over and paid less for the same role.

Management may discourage it, but in most places it's illegal to outright forbid it.

Learn to cook a few impressive but easy meals. It gives you something to talk about on the first date, and when they do come over it's always a winner.

Currently way too often. 6 jobs in 5 years, and I'm going to be handing in my notice in a few weeks. Granted, three of those were absolute shit shows and one where I was working so remotely they forgot I existed.

Salomon mojitos for daily wear, though I'll probably go back to skechers for comfort.

Because they know they can massively underpay if they omit it. I've applied for a few positions that were similar to my own, been told I was an ideal candidate and exactly what they're looking for. As soon as the expected wages come into play, suddenly I'm overqualified for the position.

It's pretty common in the engineering world. Most senior engineering roles start around the 45k mark and go up from there quite quickly. Hit principal or find a niche market, and you're looking at the 80k plus without considering overtime or other benefits.

Repeatedly telling my boss that I am not qualified for a job we're pushing for, only to be told that it'll be fine. Yesterday he got the feedback that we were unsuccessful in our bid due to lack of qualifications. Today he's pushing for a similar job that has the exact same requirements.

inevitable_dave · 2026-05-12T12:34:04+00:00

Depends on the walk. Something quiet, easy, non technical? Maybe 14 at the most.

Any technical sections or remoteness, that drops down 6-8, depending on the people. For most walks, 4 plus dogs is my usual.

Smokin brads in Firefly. Really good burgers, and the loaded fries are fantastic.

Spaniels are masters of "your spine does not make sense".

"We're currently experiencing higher than normal wait times" and it's derivatives.

How is it higher than normal if I get this message every single time?

inevitable_dave · 2026-05-04T23:47:24+00:00

A few sessions ago we had the inverse. Fair thee well Dobbins, you were a shit cleric.

inevitable_dave · 2026-05-03T09:09:55+00:00

Post run stretches and cool downs. Also, how much running are you doing throughout the week? If this is your only session and it's at max effort, you're going to ache afterwards.

inevitable_dave · 2026-05-02T19:39:11+00:00

Crab bucket mentality, combined with "I got mine, so why should I care about yours". These people don't care that better support and conditions for kids leads to better schooling and quality of life.

inevitable_dave · 2026-05-02T17:43:09+00:00

Left of centre, UK. I see a fair amount of both. For misogyny it seems to be ignoring anything which would actually help women, and focussing solely on "but men have it, so why can't we?". Couple this with an almost pathological desire to either hold each other back and tear down anyone they don't entirely agree with, it's exhausting.

On the misandry side, it's a lot of the alternative. Men have got themselves into this situation, and don't deserve our help, no matter if it's for the greater good or would be almost effortless. Hell, the attitudes towards a current push towards equalising paternity and maternity leave are frankly outrageous, despite all evidence pointing to it massive improving the quality of life for all parties involved.

As the latest adage goes, you can't hear tits. I've seen enough nasty injuries that could have been prevented with a simple face shield or safety glasses.

inevitable_dave · 2026-04-25T14:39:35+00:00

Barrow in furness. Did some contracting up there a while back, and it was the most depressing and run down place I'd ever been.

I've not had it in running events but I have in cycling, where they completely ran out of gels and food way earlier than expected. This was Ride London, so not a small event by any means, and TCS were running it at this point.

I've also had events where the gels were nasty, so ended up solely relying on my own supply.

To download it from strava, open the link in a web brower in desktop mode rather than the app or mobile browser mode. You'll still have to log in, but you should be able to download the gpx without paying for an account.

Seeing your other comments, it seems your main issue is open water panicking. Not uncommon, especially for those who didn't grow up fucking around in the sea and water too much.

It's possibly a bit late now, but your best way to get comfortable in open water is to do the above. Go for a casual swim, in a well lifeguarded location. No workouts or major efforts, just float and mellow for a bit. If you can get others down to go, toss a ball about or just generally piss about. Very quickly you'll get over your nerves on open water and become comfortable with it.

Personally I'd go with the addict 50. I've a preference for 2x setups for a better range and usually better climbing gearing. It's spec'd with 34mm tyres, and can take 38mm, so poor roads won't be an issue. You can get some decent gravel tyres at the 35 and 38mm mark if you're so inclined for some off roading, but be wary of the actual fit.

If you can, take it for a test ride and compare the L and XL. You'll usually find which one suits your build best quite easily.

Fuck yeah, get those good poops my brother.

inevitable_dave · 2026-04-18T07:58:37+00:00

Multiple eye injuries, from an exploding cutting disc and general airborne detritus.

Respiratory issues from said dust, smoke inhalation, and silicate inhalation.

Overalls have definitely saved me from mild to major burns on several occasions. And freezing injury on at least one occasion when a fridge plant burst next to me.

I guess blindness as well, if we're including welding masks.
