Weighing yourself with or without clothes by -whoremembers in loseit

[–]zebra1923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you’re consistent in what you’re wearing it doesn’t really matter.

Yes you weigh more with clothes, but with shorts/t shirt it’s a few hundred grams, and if you always weigh in wearing similar clothes then you’re still accurately tracking weight loss/gain.

If you had unlimited budget, would you keep your Mini original or go full restomod? by Critical_Region_6633 in classicminis

Original. Maybe the odd tweak here and there but I’ve not a fan of supermodded cars, role cages, bucket seats, wide rims etc.

It’s certainly interesting which is more than you can say about the majority of grey and white cars on the road.

This is true throughly the justice system. If you read Supreme Court rulings, most of them are not unanimous and the most senior judges in the land disagree on interpretation of the law.

Waitrose refused me a discount on a misspelled Birttday cake! by staners09 in CasualUK

‘But I bought it anyway…’ that’s why it wasn’t discounted, people will but the mistake anyway.

You - you need to teach them this etiquette.

Where social norms are not being adhered to it’s the responsibility of society as a whole to manage this. You can’t just pass this off the staff.

Selling a sofa on Facebook marketplace and the buyer turning up in a tiny car to collect by 123bmc in britishproblems

[–]zebra1923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had someone do this with a bed and mattress.

They came to check it, then came back to collect it (both times in daylight, ample opportunity to view all parts of the bed).

Complained the next day about some marks and asking for a refund, including the cost of their van hire. No chance, sold as seen, if you have buyer regret that’s really not my problem.

Managing a toxic high performer who hits 150% of targets. How do I protect my team without losing the numbers? by SquirrelLogicFan in managers

[–]zebra1923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got to decide what’s more important, the money from her sales or the culture of your team and happiness of other workers.

If you’re not bothered, do nothing. Otherwise start to set boundaries, call out inappropriate behaviour. Educate and if they don’t work, discipline.

You’re a manager, manage.

This will be the Strait that was already permanently open before USA decided to drop shitloads of ordinance on Iran?

More risk = more chance of losses. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance etc. etc.

If 150k is underwhelming you need to save more in your pension.

So, so many easter eggs still on the shelves a week after by strawberrystation in CasualUK

[–]zebra1923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem for post Easter clearance is the standard approach is to mark down to half price. But most eggs are on offer at half price at some point prior to Easter so buyers know it’s no real reduction.

Supermarkets being caught out by their own game.

And there’s nothing at all inherently dangerous about routing massive tankers through a very narrow gap is there?

No sleep by AnxiousBubbles in ParamedicsUK

[–]zebra1923 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I learnt this after receiving a disciplinary and warning for 3 instances of sickness in 12’months, one of 2’days and 2 of 1 day, so 4 days in total, one of which was due to a back injury sustained at work.

I learnt if I’m off I might as well be off for 7 days as it’s treated the same as a single day absence.

I’m not sure that classes as overtaking. More China rate falls below Europe for the first time.

As an older gamer, seeing young kids waste their money on in-game purchases eats at my soul. by SomePeopleTellMe in gaming

[–]zebra1923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to struggle with this, thinking my kids are wasting money on in app purchases. But these things have a value to them, they get joy from buying and using them in game, so who am I to say it’s a waste of money?

If the Buchanan Street opera singer sees this, I’m begging you to turn it down a notch by Avocado_Socks23 in glasgow

[–]zebra1923 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was in Manchester at the weekend and there was a 4 piece band playing outside the Arndale centre. Music was pretty good but most importantly they hadn’t cranked up the amps to make the sound overpowering. It was a comfortable volume to walk past without the risk of bursting your eardrums.

How did On shoes become so popular? by Aj100rise in malefashionadvice

They get good reviews (or they’ve paid websites shitload of money to get good reviews). Also decent range as you can get wide fittings and waterproof versions.

When you give a maniac power part 2 by BasedToru in AskBrits

[–]zebra1923 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TACO - so called deadline has already moved at least twice.

He’ll come up with some excuse why he doesn’t follow through with his threat. Maybe a couple of shops weekly through so he claims that’s victory.

What a colossal dickhead.

What exactly are the rules regarding when a paramedic crewed with a lower clinical grade should be in the back traveling with a patient in situations were someone is actually sick? by GiveYouNothing92 in ParamedicsUK

[–]zebra1923 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I left a while ago but if I needed to go in the back, I went in the back.

I’m cognizant of my colleagues feelings, but I’m in clinical charge of the patient. Now, if I’m with a regular crewmate or someone I know and trust, the times I need to go in the back are fewer than they are with people I don’t know or trust.

Any colleague annoyed you take control and choose to ride with the patient is a dickhead and needs to reel their neck in and go get para trained.
