Projection. Always projection.

In addition to my 35 days holiday

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 18 points 1 week ago (4 children)

One of the perks of my job is that we have 50 hours a year in addition to our holidays that we can cash in whenever we need them.

Everyone takes them, but my boss uses a handful each year, stays late every night, only uses half his holidays and loses the rest. I'll never understand it.

I bet that person is a struggle to converse with.

Most employers in my experience want the detail of what you were doing. They don't like 2 year blanks.

Having multiple jobs in a few years doesn't show you are unreliable at all. There could be a number of reasons (short contracts, change of ownership, company closing, moving house, having kids, conditions changing) that forced your move.

I've got jobs in the past because my CV showed I was able and willing to take jobs when opportunities came my way.

Water in a cup in the microwave can become superheated and explode everywhere. You should have a wooden stick or spoon in the cup to negate this. It's also slower and doesn't heat the water as well.

Yet they love consistently calling anti-Zionism anti-Semitism. Hmmm.

Yeah, another Cage gem.

I was just considering modern Cage, a different beast.

Hopefully watching Nick Cage's other marvellous movies. Pig, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and Mandy are excellent.

Good grief (feddit.uk)

I'm playing Call of Pripyat and have an annoying glitch. Was in the building with all the army guys after Strelok arrived and we waited for the emission to end.

Once it was done, we all headed off and I stuck by Strelok, covering him as intended.

We walked through the arch in the building and now Strelok and the captain just won't move at all, no matter what I do.

I can shoot them to get the 'head to the helicopter' message, but they just kill me after that.

Seems I can't continue. I've reloaded previous saves, going back to the Kindergarten mission, but the same shite happens each time.

Any ideas?

 

Every site I normally use is awful.

3rd game (feddit.uk)

I played through Shadow of Chornobyl and it is without doubt my favourite game of all time. Full of tension and dread, excellently paced.

Then I played Clear Sky. God, that was a steaming turd, particularly the last quarter (from Limansk onwards was just tedious). There was no point in having the Clear Sky faction at all, as they didn't help with anything. It was basically a one man job.

Is Call of Pripyat worth it?

Help (feddit.uk)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by Diddlydee@feddit.uk to c/mosses@mander.xyz
 

I have a moss question. If I want moss to grow between bricks on my driveway (5mm gaps), can I just cut moss up, put it in, and water it? Will it grow (there's residual soil between the bricks as weeds grow there)? There's loads of moss (sphagnum amongst others, nearby) which I could harvest. Or do I need some kind of mix with a culture (like moss and milk, or something)? Is there any particular type of moss? Any advice is appreciated.

 

They wouldn't be as annoying as they are if the people playing the games in the ads made good decisions. Seeing people fail through obvious bad choices is way more irksome than someone smashing it.

 

My 9 year old wants a gaming laptop and my laptop spec knowledge is minimal. He wants to play Fortnite and Minecraft and the like, nothing fancy. Any ideas re good laptops to buy, or good places to look? I'm in the UK and my budget is 300 quid tops, ideally less.
