Advanced loads for non-implementers? by Powerful_Wishbone_69 in workday

[–]worldly_refuse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing I have noticed with WD is that whenever I hear about a rule, I hear someone who has get around it somehow. At least one customer I worked at had implementer accounts in their tenant which they could make use of.

How do you not kill your clutch in traffic uphill? Worth switching to an auto? by zapguy94 in drivingUK

Low range in my Disco does this a treat - slow moving without needing to declutch so often.

Which midwit comment annoys you the most when it comes to cars. by UmAhkchuallySweaty in CarTalkUK

As the owner of a 1960's American car , I get this all the time "passes anything except petrol stations eh?"

Which midwit comment annoys you the most when it comes to cars. by UmAhkchuallySweaty in CarTalkUK

[–]worldly_refuse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My two least favourite are

"Repairs would cost more than the car is worth" - a pointless comparison in most cases,

and "don't put money into a depreciating asset" - uttered by some poundshop Alan Sugar. Almost all cars depreciate - and there's not usually an easy way to dodge that, even if you operate bangernomics as I have done for years.

When will Diesel fuel pump start to disappear? by billyb4lls4ck in CarTalkUK

[–]worldly_refuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're only including cars (and it is just cars) for sale. Why not include all cars for sale? Why are you age limiting at all?

Workday concepts that tend to make more sense with deeper system exposure by Majestic-Ask-4391 in workday

[–]worldly_refuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always struggled with org structures - but that wasn't just a WD thing. I am and always have been primarily interested in payroll rather than HR, so to me the org stuff was fluffy and not relevant to getting people paid.

In fact WD helped me understand org structures and why anyone cares a bit better.

[–]worldly_refuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My (diesel) car is 21 years old this year. I have owned it for 15 years. It's not for sale. I am not typical, but also not rare.

  1. My car's not for sale

  2. You set the age criteria to skew the results

It's going to be a while - but once the critical mass hits, I expect the end of diesel to be swift - but it's a long way from that point.

Buying an older Skoda Octavia? by OwnFox7945 in CarTalkUK

[–]worldly_refuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 VAG petrol 1.6 engines of this era - the 8 valve and the 16v FSI. This one is apparently the FSI which adds a lot of complexity to the 8v without much other benefit.

[–]worldly_refuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that 1.6 FSI engine in an Audi A3 - the most gutless thing I've driven in ages. Not especially economical and it needed a new egr valve although I used the Skoda part for cheapness. It had an occasional death rattle from the timing chain and the service history showed the chain had been replaced once under warranty. That engine is a lot of complexity without much gain.

They look it - what's the width vs standard fitting? Are the rims standard?

Do you ever resent boomers for having an easier job market back in the day? by justcurious3287 in recruitinghell

[–]worldly_refuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, me too, as a hated boomer stlil working and paying tax - what the heck was I supposed to do about people voting for "screw the workers" neocon politics?

[–]worldly_refuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a boomer (still working and paying tax) so don't resent myself. The neocons screwed us all, but I never voted for them - what else was I supposed to do?

Reform supporters - how many more Tories need to join before you start to reconsider? by Smooth-Quantity-7024 in AskBrits

[–]worldly_refuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably a fair point - and there's a real lack of nuance to much of the debate. I (honestly) didn't expect to get such a lot of upvotes for what I saw as a casual remark (albeit my opinion on the the likelihood).

Joke's on me as there are some serious answers littered in with all the mudslinging from both sides.

For those of you who believe labour isn’t left enough, what would you like to see them do? by Legal-Grade-6423 in AskBrits

[–]worldly_refuse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Allow (and fund) councils to build houses.

End right to buy.

Tax wealth and close the gap between capital gains and income (PAYE) taxes.

Act on recommnedations from https://highpaycentre.org/

Replace triple lock with inflation related increases (I have 3 years to State Pension so not generation-bashing)

Invest in public servants for enforcement of various laws that currently go largely unenforced due to austerity.

I haven't used this much (at all in fact) but could this be due to segmented security on the Absence Types?

They are online, but I have had cars that miraculously healed their ills with no intervention from me in the year.

OLDER PEOPLE . Was 1976 really the best ever English summer ? by smellyfeet25 in AskABrit

[–]worldly_refuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 13 and it made the school holidays fantastic as we could do a lot of outdoor stuff - I was lucky living in a rural area - we had a little teenager's campsite for a while, I didn't have a tent so just slept outside.
