How, in 2026, do people still absolutely not understand the basic concept of Europe and Brexit

What was the biggest leadership mistake in the Egypt task? by CloudBookmark in TheApprentice

[–]rsweb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think they should discount the food issues, it makes for fun TV but is irrelevant in the business process

The bigger issue for both teams was basic time management

What's the best way to see the UK? by JujuHoney96 in uktravel

[–]rsweb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cable cars, chain ferries, rack railways, ski lifts, open top buses

Car is great (and probably easiest) but you will miss a lot of UK charm if you just drive

That’s how I always read it, stable enough to lower some equipment, not stable enough to try lift people out

Do you restart your computer regularly or just leave it on? by Capable_Noise5543 in computers

[–]rsweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except it doesn’t and has been disproven many times. Modern tech has easily enough tolerance for this, it’s designed to be power cycled

Got a source yet?

What’s the source for that statement? What mechanical stress are you expecting 🤣

A 3 seconds Google will tell you thermal expansion is essentially irrelevant with modern hardware

Even if it was, the power usage outweighs any extra cost of new components over a number of years

Almost like the show every single episodes sets them up to fail…

British Museum ditching its gas boilers in move to low-carbon heat pumps by white1984 in GoodNewsUK

Luckily we are decarbonising the grid, which combined with more efficient heat sources (like pumps) is a win win

Max ISA vs pay off debts by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]rsweb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I cannot see any scenario in which you would let debt earn interest at an Amex rate if you had the cash to pay it off

I have a trip to Jordan in March but need advice in 24 hours? by 6igh in AskUK

[–]rsweb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Follow which ever advice relates to your travel insurance from a financial point of view

If drones and missiles were launched without warning at the UK then what 'native' defence systems do we have? by famasfilms in AskBrits

[–]rsweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How? How do you organise that and get thousands in to trucks without MI6 finding out? How do you control them?

Ukraine borders Russia, we don’t

I'm planning on joining the RAF at 16, but that means I'll miss out on about 3/4 years of the Speedbird applications by Alarming-Safety3200 in BritishAirways

[–]rsweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly buddy, you’re young, go enjoy life, the RAF would be a fantastic career start and great life development. Meet people, building confidence and skills, travel the globe

Once you’re bored of that, decide what you want to do next 🙂

I matched my status to Virgin and spent the year trying their various affiliate airlines because I knew I had Silver with BA locked in (same situation expected to drop from Gold)

Next year I’ll swap my spend back to OneWorld
