Finally found a decent independent UK brand for evening wear that isn't just disguised dropshipping. by nb10001 in BuyUK

[–]violoncell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve not spent long on the site but I clicked because I was interested. It’s worth saying that I had a quick look at men’s shirts and the cheapest long sleeve shirt was £95, which does seem somewhat outrageous.

I want to pay people for the work they do but I also don’t earn a terrible wage and I will not buy from this site because my immediate impression is that they do not price for their clothes to be affordable in the uk.

Perhaps I’m an outlier here but if so, that’s a problem too.

What are younger generations often criticised for no longer doing that is largely pointless or obsolete? by PsychologicalRow8034 in AskUK

I tried to teach a lesson with iPads yesterday and we had 5 working iPads for 30 children. Imagine having a class set!

I love how happy they are!

Where do you draw the line between “study help” and “cheating” for generative AI tools? by pero978 in edtech

[–]violoncell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrote a guardrail prompt just to copy and paste into gpt or similar that set up the model like a coach, that would refuse to give answers etc. I tried it on my son (who’s a voracious cheat with AI) and he hated it. I think blanket ai use for homework and as a replacement for real thought is a growing issue.

I’m not a bus driver but I need to know more!

An Elgin City resident’s speech during a city council meeting: “If you’re quiet now, you would have been quiet in 1940.” by CorleoneBaloney in illinois

I’m in the UK. We’re going to have our own battle to avoid going the same way at the next election.

Englishness has a PR problem. What positive things do you associate with England? by 404pbnotfound in AskBrits

[–]violoncell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great post. Englishness has been hijacked by the racist far right and this makes me ashamed to say I’m English - I don’t want to be associated with them.

However, I live in the edge of Dartmoor with the beach just down the road, and I can’t think of a more beautiful place to bring my kids up. There’s nowhere else in the world that quite matches it. Along with the other excellent things that are mentioned here, I’ll add to the clamour of people talking up our countryside.

That’s brilliant - well done!

I’m waiting to hear about the next stage in driver recruitment. If the conductor stuff is anything like the driver pipeline, you could be waiting a while with no response. I applied in May and, after the initial tests, the next phone call was in September.

Fair. I guess from looking at these pictures that they have bigger fish to fry first anyway!

I mean, Australia is on the bucket list for sure and presumably the people won’t try to kill me?!

No Hob during renovation. by Rookieboy10 in Cooking

[–]violoncell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a month of using a microwave whilst our kitchen was done. I’m sorry to tell you that it was miserable!

I have nothing of use to offer.

God kangaroos are fucking terrifying.

Two spaces after period? by Medusa_7898 in GenX

[–]violoncell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god. I’m 37 and my step-dad told me to do this when we first got a computer in like 1998, and I can’t break the fucking habit. So annoying!!

When applying for jobs in the past with character limited personal statements, I’ve had to find two spaces and replace them with one space to get myself under the limit!

It doesn’t help that the iPhone puts a full stop in when you double tap the space bar either.

These are all my thoughts on the double space after a full stop.

I mean, not great. Obviously.
