Looks pretty alert to me. Prick.
"In contrast, every Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Waitrose, Co-op, Lidl and Covent Garden soup tested had salt levels at or below the government target."
Phew! Pretty much the only soup I eat on a regular basis is the Covent Garden Classic Chicken. To which I add some black pepper, some grilled chicken (if I have leftovers), and some Mahi Bhut Jolokia hot sauce. But I've never wanted to add salt.
So, while I've never solely been HR (I've mostly worked at start-ups or SMEs and worn a lot of different hats at all times), I've done a lot of hiring at different companies in the UK.
I have always been of the opinion that the CV explains what you've done so far, and the covering letter / personal statement should then explain why what you've done makes you a viable candidate. So the CV is about you, the personal statement is about you and the role/company. You certainly don't have to cover the spec points in order (and don't even always need to cover them all). Just sure you address as many of the 'essential' elements as possible. But, even if you can't cover them all you might still be a viable candidate. I've hired people who had skill gaps because they had some stuff I really cared about and I knew we could teach them to cover the missing stuff.
Caveat: this was before AI. I assume that's fucked the human element of the entire process completely in a lot of companies. For <20 headcount orgs your application might still end up in front of a human.
Ok, I'm new to looking at replacing my phone with something that doesn't run Google or Apple.
Is there an OS I can use which is a. FOSS, b. European, and c. runs banking apps. Because I basically don't take a wallet anywhere anymore, just my phone. Sure, there are occassions when I take a slimline wallet with a couple of cards, but quite often if I'm making a significant puchase I need my phone to TFA it.
I don't care about cameras or headphone jacks that much. I do care about being able to buy shit.
Having used a VPN to see the footage: "Fuckin' 'ell."
Posting imgur links to a UK focused community does seem a little passive aggresive, I agree.
Pfffft, way ahead of you.
I just called an emergency family meeting to break this news.
My kids told me that pretty soon I'd be senile and they'd be reading it to me before my bedtime. Sniff They grow up so fast!
On the plus side, I no longer want to be a billionaire, so there's that.
Imagine injecting stuff into your penis.
Done! What's next?
I mean, we've all done it, right? Right?
Oh, Edmund, can it be true that I hold here in my mortal hand a nugget of purest green?
Er, the title pretty much explains. My wife listens to podcasts and falls asleep to them but I can't not listen to a human voice so I listen to (ideally instrumental) music.
Anyone else? If so, what do you put on to drift away to?
Many years ago I ran a couple of TTRPG mashups of Warhammer 40k and Dune. The emperor was much the same as 40k, the Sardaukar were marines, the Bene Gesserit were a plot manifested by Tzeentch, the Butlerian Jihad explained the lack of computers, etc., etc. It was - if I do say so myself - pretty awesome.
Now my kids are getting into role-playing and not interested in fantasy so I'm thinking about reviving my old mashup for them.
In the old days I used the 1st ed. Rogue Trader rules which seemed like the beginnings of an awesome TTRPG before Games Workshop committed fully to selling lead, then plastic, figures for skirmish wargames.
Is there a newer version of Warhammer 40k that is still TTRPG focussed, or should I dust off my old, loose-leaf copy of 1st ed. and work from that?
