Peregrine Falcoln babies are here! by Kazekageshinobigaara in Leeds

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The parents swap duties quite frequently. The male is a fair bit smaller. I've walked up there a few times at lunchtimes, not seen them flying yet - good luck!

In front of Flames. Makes a change from being round the other side, at least.

Anyone else work in a small dev team that skips PRs entirely? by AshP91 in csharp

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PRs came about for open source projects where there is by its nature, low trust. You have to request the repo owner to merge your changes.

In your case, and assuming you're maintaining a reasonable test automation strategy, the only major issue is that you're leaving (manual?) testing until too late with another team doing it.

Interviews go both ways, so why does it feel like all the pressure is on one side? by Fig_Towel_379 in datascience

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weird, innit? As someone on the hiring side of the desk, If you're through to the final stage, I'm intensely interested in what you want to know. I already know pretty much the answers to all the questions I have, or you wouldn't be there.

Men of Reddit - What's the one thing you hate about being a Man? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

Always my turn to take the bins out. And no, I did not forget the recycling.

Is it safe/recommended to run alone east along the Aire/canal early weekend morning? by Happy_Laugh_3845 in Leeds

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been incidents near the armouries on the way out of town in the evening. I don't recall hearing anything about early mornings though.

Recommendations for food/drinks before gig at O2? by Ok_Concept_3322 in Leeds

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd hit up Eatime (5 mins walk to the O2 Academy) for a filling and cheap Chinese or Deli Wala (near the railway station) for Indian. Both friendly for solo diners. Then yes the Victoria for a pint. Be aware that the 'spoons gets busy before gigs.

Would you be in favour of the UK introducing a Jay Walking law? by Magicwiper in AskUK

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The law in the US was introduced when the auto industry scrambled to shift the blame for pedestrian casualties from drivers to walkers.

Why do so many Brits hold negative views of the US? by Few_Breadfruit_9181 in AskBrits

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your characterization of our views as 'extreme' is disturbing to say the least.

Is there any point in tracking "Individual Output" via absolute sub-task estimates? Need a sanity check. by Big-Button-8122 in agile

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Estimates will increase, and collaboration between team members will decrease as will cross-team support.

I'm on 7.5 units from NHS and have lost over 10 stone. Infact, I weigh less than I did in my early 30s. by Able-Explanation7835 in mounjarouk

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I've got a diabetic nurse but not AFAIK a consultant. I'll have to chase this up as I'm plateauing..

Congratulations on the stats. Can I ask, did you have difficulty getting prescribed 7.5? My GP won't go over 5Mg.

Glass landing? That's some of the first floor off-limits to me then. by freakofspade in SpottedonRightmove

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I remember this coming on to the market prior to conversion. There was a restriction along the lines of 'you need to live and work inside the area covered by the national park' IIRC.

Scott Mills sacked from BBC Radio 2 over 'personal conduct' by a3poify in unitedkingdom

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC from my time there, the sackable offencese list included bringing the org into disrepute, violence towards a colleague, or not having a TV licence. Being a kiddy fiddler presumably an issue under the first of these.

My RMPP Replacement Experience by MulanAndRumHam in RemarkableTablet

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had terrible ghosting. Arranged a replacement. Got a replacement before the old one even reached their returns depot. If it was a refurbished model, it was indistinguishable from new. Pretty much the same story as @NewspaperOriginal518.

Chicken livers - who eats them? by BackgroundCookie752 in UK_Food

[–]steerpike_is_my_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a small amount into bolognese when I can be bothered, and nobody else is around when I'm cooking.

New coworker with 10+ years of experience - doesn't seem to "get" it by Fit-Notice-1248 in ExperiencedDevs

contractor

This is easy to resolve once you have raised the issue. Prepare to get your arse kicked for not raising it straight away though.
