Yes prime minister is the most accurate documentary about British politics of all time.

I like a cheap watch, I made my two watches using Ali parts and Seiko movements. They look good enough to me and do their job perfectly. If anything goes wrong it won’t break the bank to fix. Imagine scratching a rolex!

You will get stressed, maybe even angry. It’s ok. Take a deep breath and walk away for a moment.

There doesn’t seem to be much emotional support for men, but sometimes it’s needed. Talk to someone, anyone, even talking to random people on the internet can help.

Enjoy the ride, you’re in for a great adventure, and while it doesn’t feel like it at the time, they really do grow up quick.

3 day working week will more likely mean companies cutting staff by 50%. Can’t imagine most people being able to live when only working 3 days.

It’s from Ali. CuSn8 alloy.

many technical jobs are vocational in nature as it’s impossible to turn it off after work. As long as it’s not affecting your personal life & work life balance (and not affecting your friends and relations) then you are very lucky. Most people don’t enjoy their work so you’re in a good place. Importantly though, don’t feel obligated to do work problems on your own time and don’t let management expect it. Only do it if you want to.

I like the saying “give a man a job he loves and he’ll never work again”. it’s been true for much of my working life.

It’s a while since I’ve wild camped so not sure if the status has changed. When I did it was more ‘accepted’ than ‘permitted’. Also, the good spots are closely guarded secrets, so you’re mostly on your own there! I don’t know you’re experience, but for anyone else thinking about wild camping: You want water relatively accessible and depending on the weather, some shelter. (I’ve always drunk from fast flowing streams, never pools and survived without treating the water. You also want seclusion as you really don’t want to be getting any attention from walkers or land owners.

This time of year you won’t be getting much sleep, so decide if you want the evening or morning sun - I prefer the morning sun as it dries any dew off my kit. Looking at the map you should be able to plan a route and spot some quite nice spots if you think about the above. Only spend one night in a location.

I used to leave work early, drive down, get half a walk in, a night camp, finish the walk and be back to work for 9AM. One memorable morning was waking up on top of one of the Carnedds.

My preference was always to bivvi rather than tent as it was easier to carry and far easier to find a hidden spot. - The pleasure, as with most bivvying is generally retrospecive, but great fun. Pitch up at dusk and leave at first light, leave no trace bar some flattened grass and all is good. - Just make sure you pack enough calories and water.

The first wild camp I ever did was on the side of Tryfan in just my sleeping bag on a clump of heather. It would had been perfect if I hadn’t put my hand in goat muck earlier in the evening. - Took two days to wash the stink out.

Happy days. Have fun.

As a reddit refugee, this is my first post and it’s taken a few hours to get to this point. My work involves getting non technical users to use high end tech and agree that language and terminology can make or break a deployment. Reddit is easy, sign in here and away you go, not quite so with Lemmy. I have learned that if a system isn’t explained as simply as possible, in terms that your grandmother (or boss) can understand, adoption will be harder.

I’m not saying dumb it down entirely, but nobody cares about servers. Providers may be too abstract. Maybe go as far as calling them ‘Homes’ - or something else real world tangible. Once a user gets that on board they can then understand that different homes can talk to each other to form a village or community.

I enjoyed the ‘thing explainer’ books… Cut out all the technical jargon, focus on the user experience and save the detail for those who want to know.

As I say, I’m new here so apologise if I have spoken out of turn out caused offence, I’m watching and learning, and thought my fresh first hand experience may be of use.
