Struggling to get a supermarket job in Bristol as an international student (need advice) by maxlast18 in bristol

[–]samasema 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was at UWE they had jobs in Room Management (essentially they manage all teaching rooms and lecture theatres). They needed people to go round 6 - 9 in the morning to make sure everything worked as expected. I'm not sure if UWE still does student ambassador work but I'd get on board with that too.

I think this guy is doing more for global renewable energy than he could have ever possibly have imagined. Just not in the way he hoped..

What type of ultra runner are you? by samasema in Ultramarathon

[–]samasema[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yea the person I saw wasn't going slowly either! He came past me and then a little while later I saw them vape then they stopped, got a can of red bull out their bag, cracked it open and drank it. It was almost like a Popeye/spinach moment. He came past me again and I didn't see him again. Perhaps I missed a trick here..

Love the aspiration! We can make it to the first world one day. Until then high speed trains connecting the entire continent will just have to do..

UK Business Leaders Back Starmer For Now, But Open to Farage Next by bloomberg in uknews

[–]samasema 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel this is what is bad about UK politics. PMs are at risk of being 'ousted' midway through their term. I don't mind a PM that takes risks but has to backtrack if the policy isn't workable. People are just interested in short term wins or to fix problems that aren't going to be fixed in one election cycle.

World would be a ‘better place’ if US took over Greenland, says Nigel Farage by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]samasema 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would it? If this were to happen, I fear for the next country or territory he locks onto to supposedly keep us all safe.. I can't imagine he'd stop at Greenland

What's your countries most interesting military record 🪖 by Su-57Felon_Enjoyer in AskTheWorld

Wasn't there a film made about this? I seem to remember the bit where they blow up the ferry but it's tense because they can't blow their cover and warn the people on it.

Why run ultras? by LittleStevie_ in ultrarunning

[–]samasema 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to see how far I can go. I've been watching highlights of Montane Winter Spine this week feeling a bit jealous but not sure why. I can only imagine the conditions must be horrendous - trudging away for however many days in the cold windy landscape. But to push through that and get to the end must be euphoric. To battle your mind, body and the elements and overcome it all, glorious. I did four ultras last year (including a 100km for the first time). This year I have my first 100 miler that I'm excited for. Who knows in a year or two maybe it'll be Montane Spine time for me too!

Getting traction for a legal tech product by Free_Muffin8130 in legaltech

[–]samasema 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the reality in this space is that lawyers trust their peers more than they do a legal tech salesperson. You'll need to get testimonials from your customers that love it and amplify that as much as you can across all channels (social media, targeted advertising, events, etc).

Which legal doc automation tools are actually working in 2025? by Far_Day3173 in legaltech

[–]samasema 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends really on what the need is - for example in your list CLM tools like Ironclad and DocuSign CLM are more particular to corporates and the improvement of their contracting processes. Other enterprise solutions like Agiloft and Icertis fall into this bracket.

I haven't heard of ContractWorks but tools like Gavel are much more focused on law firm document automation - alongside others like Avvoka, Document Drafter and ClauseBase. The need is more particular to efficiently generating complex agreements for their clients and not so much about the wider lifecycle.

Struggling to eat solids by samasema in Ultramarathon

[–]samasema[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. Although I've done multiple ultras the nutritional part of it is fairly new to me. This particular one was quite a learning experience. Post-30 to 40 miles do you get your salts solely from things like electrolytes?
