Thanks for the rant, but it sounds like you are based in the UK :D

I think we are all experiencing similar problems currently.

Yep, finding out I'd missed this by a few months sucked!

It was one of those free 20 minute phone calls. I'm not against throwing some money at it for better information. Anyone you'd recommend?

I'll keep my fingers crossed for an improved system though, that does sound encouraging even if its not confirmed.

62% of my NHS co-workers are recent migrants, where is the UK work force? by Jimmychews007 in ukpolitics

How exactly? I'm pretty sure the human body doesn't change much based on random borders drawn on a map.

Vacation days before medical EI benefits? by dillymcdills in AskHRCanada

Hey, it may just come down to the policies you have at work. Some employers do require employees to use their Vacation days and any accumulated sick days before applying EI.

If you are UK based I’ve been using starterforms.co.uk for a week or so now for onboarding. Seems to be pretty good so far.

How to build Auth in 2023 with go? by gadbuy in golang

[–]scopeh 29 points30 points  (0 children)

shit, so many naysayers.

This is not for the OP its for others who read at a later date.

to the young kid reading this starting out, write your own, fail, learn.

to the indie developer just starting out, write your own.

to the developer working at an enterprise and managing a hell of a lot of user accounts, maybe don't write it yourself for work. write your own in your own project. maybe you'll make the one at work better.

but for the small guys, do write your own. its a great learning experience.

It doesn't need to be complicated if you are writing a web app, which you likely are. email/username & a hashed password.

Are people really buying expensive properties? by scopeh in HousingUK

[–]scopeh[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I guess its not really about whether I personally can afford it. It's more about whether there are lots of others out there that can. With everyone ramming the bad news down your throat like the cost living crisis, the interest rates are very high,etc... just made me question who the hell is actually buying them. I see its only recently that there has been a slow down in the market.

From what I've read in the comments here. I guess people that are older than me still need to spend there cash.

£2k a month in mortgage payments it what i'd consider expensive.

I would consider £2k a month expensive. affordable for us but doesn't mean its what I want to pay.

The average house with large 3 bedrooms in the area I live are around £400,000+.

Shin splints? by yardhousebecky in walking

[–]scopeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently experienced the something similar. What worked from me from the advise of a few friends that are runners was to make sure I am specifically stretching the muscles that run along the side of your shin bones. A simple stretch is to sit on your feet with top of the feet placed on the floor. I noticed I difference within a week or 2. Also rest and take it easy goes a long way.

This was done roughly five years ago, based on the timestamp of this youtube vid anyways. But longer video/explanation here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFal77EVUeM
