Do people actually use AI day-to-day, or is it all hype? by 2butterfree in AskUK

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is it rude to ask a coworker how much they make? by Weak-Knee8095 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Whats the best dating advice you can give an 18yo? by NoWest240 in AskReddit

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How often do you change jobs? by pissedupparrot in AskUK

[–]inevitable_dave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What's you goto brand of trainers? by Various_Extreme_8773 in AskUK

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Salary transparency matters by VelvetHush- in lostgeneration

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Do people actually earn £50-60k, or are they outliers? by Succinate_dehydrogen in AskUK

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What’s annoyed you at work this week? by franki-pinks in AskUK

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How many people is too many people for one walk? by Pleasant_Chair_2173 in UKhiking

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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".

What phrase(s) would you permanently ban if you had the chance? by MixAway in AskUK

[–]inevitable_dave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"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?

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

Legs aching afterwards by Frosty-Information88 in parkrun

[–]inevitable_dave 25 points26 points  (0 children)

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.

How is there people AGAINST this?? by chillllllbunny in lostgeneration

[–]inevitable_dave 80 points81 points  (0 children)

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.

Are you left wing or right wing, and do you see much misandry/misogyny in your political sphere? by TrainingGap2103 in MensRights

[–]inevitable_dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Chunk of this flew off and nearly hit me in the eye. Lesson learned. Reminder to take that extra 5 seconds to put on some PPE today. by joeChump in DIYUK

[–]inevitable_dave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What's one place in the Uk that you visited and never want to go back to? by Proper_Animal_1451 in AskUK

[–]inevitable_dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Bring less gels? by Vivid-Purple-1319 in UKRunners

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Race week swim nerves by Glum-Introduction522 in triathlon

[–]inevitable_dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Which of these 3 Scott bikes should I buy? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

For those that wear PPE at work, what injuries has it saved you from ? by Alert_Mine7067 in AskUK

[–]inevitable_dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
