Best pics I could get. Body was closer in size to a goose than a duck! Guessing some sort of mix between a mallard and something else?
Really poor form, and another misstep in a long line of bad decisions and worse management at the BBC.
I work for a pretty Big Broadcasting Company in the UK thats been beset by perpetual layoffs for years. Im relatively early in my career and I'm staff, so I've never had to go through this sort of thing before?
Any tips? I'm in touch with the union so fine on the legal side, more tips on how to cope, get myself back out there and just generally stay okay.
Wish I'd recorded it.
In this run, did my first blacksite mission with an alien ruler. Was running with a weaker crew but got unlucky with advent progress so had to run the blacksite.
End my turn, and the Viper King darts out from an unrevealed area, right toward a squaddie and another injured solider.
Overwatched squaddie hits him with the shotgun, Viper King dies instantly after the repeated triggered. It feels so rare I get the "Executed!" popup so I couldn't believe my luck!
Hey guys, can anyone here tell me what the security at YNOT fest is like? Previously been Download fest and its been a breeze, but heard they can be kinda harsh here.
Feeling pretty demoralised at this point.
I work at a pretty Big Broadcasting Company. The whole time I was training and coming up everyone acted like it was the holy grail of journalism jobs to end up here.
But I'm feeling pretty crushed. Ive been here a few years now and seen multiple rounds of cuts, and now we're getting a 15% headcount reduction across our entire news division.
Our commissioning process sucks, pitchex go up the chain of far too many people, and either get mashed into something else or rejected without any feedback. More often than not stories get killed, but then commissioned when more senior people pitch them. Or get killed, then a competitor does them, then all of a sudden they're interested. Literally today, I had someone come back to me for a pitch I did two weeks ago, asking if I could share my work because a more senior correspondent pitched the same story. Constantly I'm watching people stick their byline and their byline alone on a story that they did nothing but write a few hundred words of copy for, when the actual journalistic work goes uncredited.
There's no communication between different departments, the whole place is a confusing bureaucratic mess, the senior leadership don't give a shit because the culture is so bad and insular that they refuse to even see a problem to fix. There are fewer and fewer opportunities for development for junior staff. We have a training scheme that involves spending years training someone and then there is nowhere for them to go at the end, so they're forced to leave.
We constantly produce meaningless fluff "content" in place of actual stories. Investigative teams get cut, but legions of people just flipping copy from elsewhere continue to stay. Some areas are cut to the absolute bone and hamper our ability to do anything good, other areas are bloated and seemingly do nothing of real value.
Am I losing my mind here? I'm ready to pack in the industry entirely. I don't see that things look better at any other broadcaster or any paper. Am I just in a bad place or is stuff really just this screwed?
Wilderness years round two, lets go!
I've found CityMapper keeps telling me to take illegal routes or go down streets that don't exist, whereas GoogleMaps has a deathwish and sends me some awful routes.
Does anyone have any suggestions on good cycle navigation apps?
When I'm doing hip abduction/abduction exercises, my ROM is absolutely shit. It's not like I'm feeling any pain or a twinge at the widest angle, I just cannot physically move my legs any wider. From a forward position, each leg can only go about 45 degrees outward max.
Whats the best way to increase my ROM here?
Hey all. I do an upper/lower split. My lower routine is pretty solid, but my upper routine is a bit more flexible. I do some combination of the below, but wondering what would be best to prune this down to a more refined routine, or if I'm missing anything.
I always do the following:
3x12 bench press
3x12 OHP
3X12 lat pulldown
And then I do some combo of:
Chest flys
Preacher curls
Tricep pushdown + lat raises superset
Seated row + seated face pulls superset
Dumbbell shrugs
What should I include/drop for a more balanced routine? FWIW I tend to do more extra arm stuff when I have time, and as I'm quite heavy atm (235lbs at 5ft10) I've avoided pullups.
Gutted to have missed the last few songs, but that was an unforgettable night.
