recently was asking about raises because I’ve been due for one with my promotion, but finance has been stopping everyone on raises. Boss then asked if I was actively looking for a new job.

thought about not answering, but a non-answer would have been an answer. I’m big on honesty (but I read the room first, and craft my words wisely). I’ve been looking in recent weeks, but haven’t applied…. Ive had that feeling for weeks the company is being ultra cheap.

did I mess up by telling my boss I’m looking for a new job? he’s very understanding, and knows the position I’ve been put in. plus I know it’s not his fault, he’s been trying to get me a raise.

TLDR; i started a discussion with my boss about a raise for my promotion almost a year ago. He asked if I’ve been looking for a new job and I said yes.

edit: adding boss’ lead-up to question. He mentioned the impact I’ve been making and how everybody is saying good things about my work. He was worried about me getting burnt out and wanting to leave. Then he asked if that was true, and if I’d been looking for a New job.

I said yes, due to cost of living

This happened two weeks ago and my friend has forgiven me but I am still thinking about it so I need to put it somewhere. Some context: I work in data analysis and I have a slightly embarrassing habit of looking things up that I probably don't need to look up. My friend just bought her first house, she was very excited, she threw a small housewarming party. I was genuinely happy for her.

About a week before the party I thought it would be nice to show up knowing something useful about her new area. Thoughtful guest stuff. So I looked up some local information and in the process ended up on one of those neighborhood data sites that aggregates crime statistics. Her area had some numbers that were moderately above average for certain property crimes. I noted this, thought nothing more of it, and did not plan to mention it.

At the party, someone asked the group what we thought of the neighborhood. I said I thought it seemed nice, which was true. Another guest said they loved how quiet the streets were. And then, I genuinely do not know why my brain did this, I said "yeah it seems great, though I did notice the property crime stats are a bit elevated compared to the city average, worth keeping an eye on." Just volunteered this. At a housewarming party. For a house my friend just bought and cannot return. The table went quiet for about two seconds which felt like significantly longer. My friend laughed it off and said she'd looked into it and felt comfortable with the area. But I watched her expression for the rest of the evening and I think I genuinly stressed her out about a thing she had been completely happy about before I arrived. I have since looked up the neighborhood again and honestly the numbers are fine. I dont know why I said it. TL;DR I ruined approximately fifteen minutes of my friend's housewarming by volunteering unsolicited mildly alarming crime statistics that were not even that alarming in retrospect.

backstory is that i try to fill up my tank more when gas prices are at a low and less as prices go up to make my long term average cost per gallon lower.

now given current events, and empirical reality, gas has only been going up and will continue to go up. we could assume different curves(only constraint being that price per gallon goes up as time goes forward), but if you buy your gas now you will spend less money then you have if you bought it tomorrow, day after, or week down the road. my estimate is that it will be month minimum before it gets cheaper.

now that I have put this out there into the world you should fill up asap, I already filled up before making this post and other people will come up with this idea independently of me.

Forcing themselves to embrace Kid Rock definitely one of the funnier humiliation rituals of this admin

Wildlife explorer Steve Backshall has described watching two of the UK's last surviving orcas off Cornwall as one of his "greatest British wildlife moments".

Male killer whales John Coe and Aquarius are the last remaining members of the West Coast Community pod.

The bulls were seen off Lizard Point on Wednesday and filmed by the TV presenter, who lives near Penzance.

Keep Britain Tidy today thanked an army of litter-pickers who pledged to collect 451,887 bags of litter during the 2026 Great British Spring Clean.

More than 585,000 volunteers in every corner of the country took part in the national effort to remove bags of rubbish from our streets, parks and beaches and protect our wildlife.

At the same time, thousands of pupils in schools across the country took part in the Great Big School Clean, learning about the impact litter has on our wildlife and seeing for themselves that small actions, when taken together, can make a big difference.

Die Wirtschaftsweise Grimm hält ein Tempolimit im Verkehr für ein "kluges Signal" und verweist auf andere Länder, die härtere Maßnahmen angesichts der Ölkrise ergreifen. Die bisherigen Maßnahmen der Regierung hält sie für verfehlt.

The guide in question. I kind of expected affiliate link spam going into it, but there are no affiliate links, and it's genuinely well-considered. The "well, technically..." bonus at the end caught me way off-guard.

NOTE: This is not an endorsement of that section; I just thought it was really funny for how blunt it is.

If anyone knows a good, reliable way to get it in bulk not presented in the guide, I'd love to hear about it. I've seen people recommend WinCo a lot, but that isn't an option for a lot of people.
