Slightly related. YouTube's been recommending me loads of behind the scenes Breaking Bad videos for reasons far beyond my comprehension, but that made me realise that special effects seems right up my street. I have a degree in electronic engineering, but the vast, vast majority of jobs out there for EE are just coding. I don't mind coding, but I like making shit.

I guess the problem is it's a brutally difficult industry to break into.

The problems with field jobs is that everyone wants one and they're often poorly paid with little career prospect. Plus you're probably just thinking that because the weather is lovely at the minute.

I'm an Environmental Scientist at a University -doing field science within academia or for a consultancy is a very competitive field. There's also a surplus of volunteers to contend with.
From what I've seen, quite a bit of focus and cash is directed towards bats and newts, but I think you need specialist qualifications (BIG NEWT controls the market).

Maybe try working for a water company? I used to do site ops, it's a great combination of out doors working and problem solving/engineering. Being called out to a trunk main burst at 23:00 on Xmas Eve is always a possibility though.

On February 12, 1983 the ship Marine Electric was carrying a load of coal from Norfolk, Virginia to a power station in Somerset, Massachusetts. The worst storm in forty years blew up that night and the ship sank at about four o'clock in the morning on February 13. The ship's chief mate, 59-year-old Robert M. "Bob" Cusick, was trapped under the deckhouse as the ship went down. His snorkeling experience helped him avoid panic and swim to the surface, but he had to spend the night alone, up to his neck in water, clinging to a partially deflated lifeboat, and in water barely above freezing and air much colder. Huge waves washed over him, and each time he was not sure that he would ever reach the surface again to breathe. Battling hypothermia, he was tempted to allow himself to fall unconscious and let go of the lifeboat. Just then he remembered the concluding stanzas of "The Mary Ellen Carter".

He started to sing it and soon was alternately shouting out "Rise again, rise again" and holding his breath as the waves washed over him. At seven o'clock that morning a Coast Guard helicopter spotted him and pulled him to safety. Only three men of the thirty-three who had been aboard survived the wreck. After his ordeal, Cusick wrote a letter to Stan Rogers telling him what had happened and how the song helped save his life. In response, Cusick was invited to attend what turned out to be the second-to-last concert Rogers ever performed. Cusick told his story in the documentary about Rogers, One Warm Line.

I am going through a few days where I just can't listen to this song enough, and it fills me with positivity. I possibly remember it from my childhood as well, and I think several people here are roughly my age so maybe you'll get the nostalgic hit of day-brightening, unhatable Londonbeat:

There was a guy in Belgium doing this recently too. He got a gun, said he was going to kill the head of coronavirus research or something like that, and set off to find and kill him. The guy was taken to a secret location and is now being guarded by police, I think.

You can have a lot of fun with such comparisons; thank you for suggesting this. In my head, thousands of people would go and stand on the beach with pitchforks every weekend in 1940, to show the brave British spirit, and get shot to pieces by Messerschmitts every single time. The Daily Mail would write an article entitled, "WE WELCOME THE GREAT EXCELLENT VIRUS", and complaining about this would get you denounced as a nit-picking fusspot. We would all have big bonfires every night, and our cities would get bombed to shit in a gallant act of defiance. In the end, among the smouldering ruins of the heart of the British Empire, Alan Turing would invent the atom bomb all on his own, it would be named "the Great British Boris Banger", and we'd win the war anyway.

>>8804

>Is this just one of those nasty little laws that means once you're proven to be a money-making criminal, anything purchased by you after the date of the proven crime becomes state property?

Not quite, but the courts do have fairly broad powers. In this case, after conviction the court could issue a confiscation order for the coins, or if they aren't recoverable other assets equivalent to the amount believed to be earned through criminal behaviour.

You don't necessarily have to be convicted of a crime to be subject to an unexplained wealth order, only reasonably suspected of having been involved in or connected to organised crime. An unexplained wealth order essentially reverses the burden of proof - if you can't show that you made your money legitimately, the court can confiscate it.

To be fair, the courts do use these powers quite sparingly and every case I've seen has involved utterly blatant criminality.

The picture in the OP looks reminiscent one of those suctiony "blowjob simulators". Have either of you tried one of those? I didn't get on with a fleshlight when I owned one, but the thought of having something I can plug in and enjoy hands-free is quite appealing.

I had one of those onahole things. It was one based off a JAV stars genitalia. It even had the doctor who moulded the thing proudly displayed on the box -https://www.motsutoys.com/satomi-yuria-s-kinchaku-series.html

I tried to tell people my experience about it on here and got a ban for 'shilling' an obscure japanese sex toy, as if the tendrils (tentacles) of the japanese adult toy industry go that deep.

Well it felt great while fucking but for some reason on climax I felt very... over-stimulated. Like I was pissing my pants.

>>7283

You don't need to move your library when it's in the country pile that's been in your family for eighteen generations.

Books are fucking heavy, though. The only ones of mine I've kept are all big cooking hardbacks and my notebooks from my previous life as a cheflad. That's just one medium sized box and it weighs about as much as I do. I just think it's simply impossible to have a substantial book collection if you ever plan to move.

I think her grandad was loaded but he remarried when her grandma died and all of the money went to his second wife's kids. I believe his memoir is the only one she has a physical copy of, which is largely about how he was stationed in India during the Second World War and spent most of it having a lovely time mountaineering. She recently got in contact with her second cousin once removed, or whatever the fuck it is, whose family have been in Canada for several generations and they sent over a digital copy of their father's memoirs.

SHAKE IT BABY

He's pretty fucking cocky for a protagonist from a dead franchise.

>sexual harassment
I know they say the allegations are very serious, but they were always going to say that. Sexual harassment can be a lot of things. The fact that he has been completely #cancelled overnight, and a TV programme he's in has now been thrown into the Well of Problematicity, certainly unsettles me. If he's a mad serial rapist, I guess it's up to ITV, although I'd at least let the series end before banishing him forever. If he just made some banter about boobies to a Vorderman-shaped colleague, then I would definitely, definitely let the series end before shitcanning him.

>>33445
He, allegedly, has a thing for getting young women who are trying to break into the industry to have 'naked auditions' whilst secretly filming it.

>>33445
There are twenty women alleging he's done shit so horrible he'd have been sacked years ago for any one of these incidents in any other line of work. Auditioning someone in the nude and secretly filming it is obviously something that's quite hard to bring about in most other jobs, but I don't think it's actually that shocking that he's lost work and his reputation is in the pits. This piece has all the alegations and they are damning and frequently corroborated: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/apr/29/actor-noel-clarke-accused-of-groping-harassment-and-bullying-by-20-women

However, it's not until the end of that piece that something very telling happens. The writers explain Clarke had his mate call some of these women, telling one “If you want that sit down at any point with Noel, whether it’s with lawyers there or me there, whatever you want, for him to apologise, I know he will, he will do that.”. That's from Clarke's business partner Jason Maza who also told the woman Clarke had spent an "insane" amount on private eyes, and you don't do these things if you're confident you can hold your hands up and say wasn't me, guv in complete honesty. This seems like some really in depth journalism and The Guardian would be out of in court and out of print by next week if it was baseless.

He's a petite Weinstein, seemingly. Leveraging power for sexual sexual favours and shutting down dissent by the same means. Fuck him, I hope he spills hot tea all down his best shirt and it burns his nipples off.

Plus they can shoot lightning out of either end.

It turns out there was a massive chunk of fluff in one corner and that eventually shot out with some force. Now my phone is turbocharging again which is something it hasn't done since shortly after I got it.

The lessons are:
1. A plastic comb works so no need to buy toothpicks. Don't use metal obviously.
2. You really do have to spend a good half hour at least digging into it. I only managed to get it out just before I was due to buy a new phone assuming the port was broken.

>>27927
I'm confused as to why you don't just buy a standard dust cover you remove when you want to charge it.

>>27935

>I'm confused as to why you don't just buy a standard dust cover you remove when you want to charge it.

Not him, but the constant plugging and unplugging of the cable is another factor in port damage, with Micro USB perhaps the most common form of failure, I think USB C is a lot better, but still not immune. So it both protects against dust permanently and also greatly reduces the wear on the port itself.

I don't use them myself as I have 1500 spare usb cables and I don't want to be tied down to one or two special ones, but it's still a good idea.

Also RE: cleaning the port, a can of compressed air is very useful.

>>27936

Also the magnetic connector reduces the risk of breaking your USB port or pinging your phone across the room if you trip over the charging cable.

Apple used to have magnetic charger connectors on their laptops for this reason, but they abandoned it in their incessant quest for thinness.

>>27936
Yeah, I charge it at bedside, in the car and at my desk. If I have to connect elsewhere ever, I just unplug the widget.
The benefit over a dust cover is that you just have to lob the cable in the right direction and it clamps on and connects. It also allowed you to connect micro-USB either way up, but that's lost now USB-C has unfucked the design. And yes, connectors fail - these both reduce the number of couplings from daily to annual, and tear free if something stupid (like the dog) happens and the cable gets yanked, avoiding connector damage or the phone being launched across the room. Mine also have tasteful and not-too-bright blue LEDs in the cable ends, so I can find it in the dark on the bedroom floor.
There's no way I'd ever bother with putting a dust cover back on. This cable plays to my idleness, and I'm fine with that.

I want my gold thanks.

They are the only UK airline identified by the CAA to have refunded all of their customers money during the pandemic without significant delay, and indeed are one of the only UK airlines with the means and reserve funds to actually refund all customers without dipping into other customer deposits like other airlines have been doing. That alone has generated a huge amount of good faith for customers and potential customers - I'm willing to bet the reason Jet2 sticks out to you is because you've seen or heard people talking about how well they've been treated by them, customer service wise.

They are the only airline that chose to postpone any operation until the 23rd of June, the date at which the government said flying was "definitely" ok. They're genuinely out to create a good experience for the customer, to the extent of them rather losing a month or two of revenue if it meant not risking having to cancel peoples holidays on extremely short notice. And people remember that sort of thing, I think they have earned a LOT of customer loyalty from the way they have handled things, in contrast to other airlines. Can you imagine any other airline that actually puts the customer first as a legitimate business model? BA tries to, but for what they charge it's mostly a facade.

On top of that they're just an airline with huge potential, running parallel but separate airline and package holiday businesses means there's built in risk aversion, plus plenty of opportunity to upsell.

They also own all their own planes - throughout the pandemic they have been able to sit and happily pay ground fees and basically not much else, whereas everyone else owes banks a fuckload of money for wet and dry lease planes on top of that. If they didn't already have money in the coffers they have more than three billion in assets. They also used to be Dart Group which included the haulage firm Fowler Welch, but the sale of that has basically paid for the losses incurred in the pandemic.

All in all they're an airline that bends over backwards to be a Nice Experience, and the contrast between that and being herded onto a Ryanair I think is something that passengers notice.

I'm not saying Jet2 stock will make you a millionaire anytime soon, but I don't see how it's not going to go up once they've got passengers again.

Is there no warranty or what have you? Have you tried bitching really hard about it to customer support? Looks like a newish laptop so I'm sorry if that's not an option.

I just put a 23 inch LG monitor on gumtree for a fiver, and now someone's offering to pay for a courier to Leeds to have it delivered, which makes me feel like I've mugged myself off.

I got it for a tenner a few years ago off some dude who didn't want it because there was a pixel-wide green line 3/4 across the screen going down the entire way, presumably all dead pixels. Didn't bother me much. Then it started buzzing in the bottom left and flickering, found the problem required soldering, gave up.

Presumably this guy has a soldering iron and some experience with this. I mean, it's a good condition Flatron monitor.

Shall I just say I dropped it when getting it out of storage and try fixing it myself?
