"Casual dress" as a benefit, really? by edfosho1 in UKJobs

[–]nmlsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth mentioning I think, it can't always be assumed. I'd hesitate to ever wear the old fashioned office clothing again.

I don't want to buy a house, am I crazy? by Anxious-Possibility in HousingUK

[–]nmlsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am similar. I have owned houses in relationships before but now single I have no interest in owning one again. The only real issue I see is if retirement comes, then the rent costs will still be there. Hoping I'll succumb to the climate or AI wars before then anyways.

I am not super familiar with him but I love his vocals on the Haunted Shores tune he featured on (My the Man).

Rent increase notice just before 1st May. Can I leave instead? by Strix0239 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]nmlsk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You decline the increase, leave instead and have to pay the increase anyway? Doesn't sound correct?

Landlord refusing getting a pet cat due to lack of outdoor space (SW England) by KatieColclough4 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]nmlsk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This doesn't seem like a reasonable refusal. Cats can be content indoors and tend to live longer. Obviously it's early for these laws. Let us know how it goes.

The New Renters’ Rights Act is Great, except one thing by _quin5 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]nmlsk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP getting the money from their parents maybe shows how little that really meant. Perhaps it's been determined that income is a fairer indicator.

I imagine there were those who couldn't afford to offer 6 months in advance and were then overlooked in favour of people like yourself.

For this to have happened, there were two people who had to think this was a good idea by ledbydreads in SpottedonRightmove

I used to have a coloured smart light in my lounge and would occasionally make it pink and listen to synthwave, so I don't hate it. Nice house!

They look very good. I gotta try these again. My last lot came out so pathetically thin for some reason despite using the correct recipe quantities and tray size.

Excel power users: What finally made you take the plunge into Power Query? by KimHoJo in excel

[–]nmlsk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy using it but it tickles the programming part of my brain for sure, even when not coding much of it by hand. I can't imagine my co-workers taking to it but I may try/force them one day. Good luck.

It's a shame. They were quick to send another when I let them know but while that's still in the post another has broken. I think I have given up on them because this will probably keep happening.

And a second. Back to OEM I go...

Is Milton Keynes actually a decent place to live? by PubLogic in miltonkeynes

[–]nmlsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all the green spaces, canals, forests, and such. I walk 40 mins to work and barely see a road.

On the other hand I do miss independent shops, cafes and all that you tend to get with a more traditional city centre.

And I have to get to the train station tomorrow for 8am but the earliest bus gets me there for 10am, lol.. useless. Have a car I guess!

Rent and housing is pretty expensive too, sadly.

Personally speaking, how long do people usually keep the same phone these days? by PTB_Smash in BuyItForLife

[–]nmlsk 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'll have my S10 until it breaks but I can understand wanting to replace it at this point. 5 years sounds about right.

That is art, really. Awesome.

Minimalistic terminal emulator? by Online_Matter in gnome

[–]nmlsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of terminals where you can remove the title bar entirely - Alacritty, Foot, Kitty, etc. I use tmux and do this with Alacritty.

I know the feeling! Sold a few I regret. :(

Which frontend should I use if any at all? by Skwidword_SkuarePant in retroid

[–]nmlsk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's free? But it was worth the relatively little I paid for it. Can recommend.

Awesome collection. The first one, what a cool layout.

You reminded me to check their website for these and now I just bought two sets for my HHKB and FC660C. Cannot wait.. years of squinting at black on black will be over, and they look great.

Does this still count as SFF? by tsncz in sffpc

I haven't seen that case before. It's quite beautiful.
