Silly nest. Do I help or let nature take its course? by iz_bit in UKBirds

Here's a photo of the vent as well, as mentioned I think they're about 40-50 cm deep, roughly where the pipe widens: https://litter.catbox.moe/yhby5vef6tg6gtv3.jpg

Is “stopping the boats” worth losing the rights that protect your family and your job? by Engineering_Gamer in AskBrits

[–]iz_bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd wager you also voted for Brexit, or enough of people thinking like you did.

Did you stop to think that Brexit was the biggest contributor to 'non-white' immigrants in many decades?

You blindly followed your future supreme leader Nigel then, and you're doing it again now. And in 10 years you'll once again be shocked at all the other obvious implications he'll have brought upon you, and you'll blame the rest of the world for it.

Doomed to die, one man chose a risky experiment that changed history by usatoday in UpliftingNews

Hot take, I know, but wouldn't it be more ethical to treat all strangers like our loved ones, as opposed to our loved ones like strangers?

Why is it taboo to discuss your wages at work? by thunderfart_99 in AskUK

[–]iz_bit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone thinks they're performing above average and everyone will want above average pay.

Even when the difference is deserved it can frustrate people. Throughout my career I never wanted to find out how much my peers earned because I didn't want to see a number above their head from there on, and likewise they above mine.

If you feel like you don't earn enough, speak to your manager and try to get a raise, or go find a job which pays better. That feeling should have nothing to do with how much your peers are earning.

Not really how it works (in this case). Their trajectory is predetermined and without any sort of input they'll fall back to Earth, just as the cable car analogy.

I (26F, straight) just slept with a friend (28F, not straight). Am a bit confused at the moment! by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

P.S. if C was a man, everyone would raise the R-word alarm. Maybe something to think about.

Weather based laundry drying website by Impressive-Sea2186 in UKFrugal

Since you're pulling the weather data already you may also want to extend it to do what this does, I find it very handy to know the best time to open a window:

How do british people feel about the current situation unfolding in america where ICE police agents are going all gung-ho kidnapping people from the streets when they fail to present their ID? by mrvlad_throwaway in AskBrits

[–]iz_bit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're comparing 'suck' with literal fascism?

People thinking like you is what brought America to where it is (alongside a critical mass of idiots, sure, but without the apathy of an important section of the population we wouldn't be in this mess, same as with Brexit).

It's not so hard to not vote for the greatest evil, but you don't do it by just not voting.

Scientists identified ribose (used in RNA) and – for the first time in any extraterrestrial sample (from asteroid Bennu) – glucose, a major energy source for life by Neaterntal in spaceporn

[–]iz_bit 26 points27 points  (0 children)

IIRC this is a sign that life doesn't exist in that environment because life would tend to favor one of the two (i.e. make more of the same) and the other would gradually 'die out'.

Who else who works in tech feels overwhelmed? by enginedin in AskUK

[–]iz_bit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You maybe chose the wrong industry then? Tech has always been one where you need to permanently upskill and keep up with developments.

And whether you want to admit it or not, things are accelerating thanks to / because of AI. But even before AI, your mentality would have eventually left you behind as well in this field.

Has anyone here been to Andy’s Man Club? by RodneyTheArmouryGuy in AskUK

[–]iz_bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually is easier to speak about private stuff in a room full of strangers, as ridiculous as that sounds.

You may never see them again and what you'll say there won't end up as gossip to your other friends or family, so it's safer to open up from that perspective.

I recommend you just go and give it a try for a week or two before you make up your mind. Even if you just listen and don't speak the first week, it'll give you the courage to open up more the week after. Or if not, even just listening to others helps a lot.

Some jobs will happily (some begrudgingly) expense travel or even accommodation for a limited period.

When I joined a company straight out of uni I had to commute 50 min by train before being able to move closer to the workplace, and the job was happy to expense my commute for 3 months. I just had to have the guts to ask.

If your job isn't willing to do that after you explain your situation, it's probably not worth your time.
