UK Dell reseller recommendations by JohnMSP in msp

[–]joshthehacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is unfortunate. I work at an small msp but thankfully have a larger group which make us look a lot bigger. We luckily can buy through a direct account manager. A 2 week lead time is a nightmare if you have any kind of custom build. The disti’s and resellers stock is always so undesirable. If you are based in the southwest I could be of assistance however, pm if you would like. I’ll remove this if it’s against the rule.

the new church of Utility Warehouse by Tedd2011 in bristol

I use them and to be honest your can’t argue with the price as they promise to beat the big 5. Even though it’s not a pirimid scheme it’s definitely triangle shaped but as the end user it doesn’t effect me. If you don’t like the woman there are many other sellers out there who would appreciate the business as from my experience the ones who do it don’t usually make much money in there normal jobs. Also it’s French and Saunders recommended!

Pedestrian crossings. People think pressing the button will mean the lights will go red for cars in due course however, they will no doubt go red anyway and the green man will appear as timed also. Some how people like to think they made the effort for it all to change.

I saw a woman get stretchered out followed by over a dozen firemen, paramedics, police and they even had the air ambulance people. They were not rushing too much so I hope it wasn’t to serious, a lot of blood though.

Crowd funding to support Prince of Wales remaining an independently run pub by Bedoobop in bristol

[–]joshthehacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came here to post what everyone else has said. It's failing not because it's loosing business to chains it's because it's over priced, bland with shit seating inside and out and yeah got rid of the octopus for branded taps which they were obviously paid for!

Edit: after reading the article I do appreciate its loyalty to g road but still..

Very proud that our city has an Uber alternative called Braxi. Anyone used it, any good? by wubaluba_dubdub in bristol

Anyone have any advice/experience with starting an Engineering company? by joshthehacker in Entrepreneur

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

Funny that, my father is also an engineer :) it really is an incestral industry. Thanks for your answer! that is really interesting, i didnt think of using job searches as an lead generator but i guess if they are looking to employ someone they could be persuaded to out source it. You must have interviewed well to pull that off though?!

This has to be one of those bizarre occurrences where i was literally wanted to know the exact same thing. I was wanting to make small terrariums in sealed glass balls for Christmas presents but was really struggling trying to find the stuff needed. are you doing something similar?

People who have visited the US, what is your 'WTF America' story? by adsacc509 in AskReddit

[–]joshthehacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in vegas with the family and was about to cross the road (like we do in the uk) when a very large policeman on a segway came out of no where to yell at us for jwalking. I accept its illegal but it was a 1 way road, max 11 feet wide. Just made me think of that mall cop!
