I'm not on Facebook so please don't suggest marketplace.
I'm just looking for suggestions, which sites tend to have reliable buyers who actually show up?
Just looking for alternative suggestions to clear some stuff out of storage.
So I've got some days off work and want to do scaffel pike and helvellyn before the weather gets wet and wild.
I can get to windermere by train, but I'm trying to figure out where I could stay, in order to access routes for both summits.
No car, so I'm either hiking too and thro, or bussing? Any advice?
Been invited on a couple of coastal hikes from now until early autumn.
All my kit are heavy leather boots and sub alpine trekking boots, so I dont want to waste them on sea salt.
None of the routes look hard really, just some steep cliff paths amd a few rocky crags between coves.
Is it worth getting a trail walking shoe or would a trail running shoe better? Considering seasalt exposure with damage things
Feel like comparing how it plays compared to the likes of DEI and 1212AD.
Just, which site should I go to for ease of installing mods? Obviously Steam doesn't have a workshop for this classic
Just curious, always thought it'd be a good day, plus a chance to see the puffins, but just hoping for some people to weigh in given its a lil'pricey as the day adds up.
Hi,
Currently EO in a general op delivery role. No specific skills through my job, just turn up, aim to hit high target, pray my SEO is happy. Occasionally train and mentor new staff, never managed people in HR capacity, only in learning and development.
Outside of work, have a Degree in a natural science, never worked in that area, tried getting into it but it was so saturated and actually getting a stable job became a priority.
Did intermediate excel course in my own time as I was a bit frustrated that I'd forgotten the skills I learnt at degree level, went on to do entry PowerBi as I saw that come up a lot on roles in my local area.
I just don't know how to apply these skills, I don't use them, and presently don't have time to seek out volunteering opertunities, unless I stopped learning new skilksets. I don't know if I even want to go down this route I just did it cause graphs and maps make sense to me more than anything else.
I've asked in work for shadowing opportunities, or more responsibilities and it just doesn't happen due to business needs
I'm keen to breakout of the role I just feel boxed into, but have no sense of what direction to head in, or a skill set to carve a specific pathway out of.
I know everyone is fishing in the same pond for work, but does anyone have suggestions?
Planning a birthday meal with a few drinks. Had a really good experience at a teppenyaki place elsewhere with a fantastic chef, has anyone got good recommendations?
I mean not just in terns of safety, noise ect but also the ease of getting affordable food rather than relying on smaller stores.
Are there one bed apartments with bills inc or is it just studios?
I'm just having a moment of doubt over my plans to keep living with my folks to save more for a house deposit.
Simple reality is that my commute leave me with little time to apply for new roles to increase my take home pay, or upskill, and sadly, without a huge deposit on my current income I'd be living tight in a leasehold flat.
As much as I'm not a city centre person, my commute too and from s.yorks would be quicker, have more options, and then I'd be shaving upwards of 20 mins off the second stage of my commute.
Also, most of my friends have moved away, everything I like to do outside of hiking is in the cc and being in the cc actually connects me to them more.
Part asking for advice, part venting cause I don't know if I'm being stupid or not.
So I acquired a an old jewel record 70 from a family member - wont go into how it came to be mine, but the tank is now empty.
I've previously kept aquaria and remember most of the basics and the tank and stand would work well in my little office area.
My UK tap water comes out at about 7.6 PH and 110 TDS - not sure on how that would be in dKH - anyway, initially I was going to do a small hillstream set up for stiphodon or rhinogobious, or a neat planted tank for blue eyed rainbow species, leaning into the water chemistry for a lowish maintenance tank.
However, I realised I'm on my own, in my own space, this is probably my only time to let my weird out and so I've drifted to the idea of doing a small blackwater tank with a heavy leaflitter layer - probably for a wild betta, or rarer tetra species....lots of options.
I guess my main point would be, what do you need to add to the weekly and monthly check up and maintenance routines? eg, do you just remove botanicals after a while, do they run the risk of polluting the tank?
Do botanicals impact stocking levels?
I'm just thinking, but ultimately it's a smallish tank so if it were to crash, it's not hard to amend.
Hi everyone,
I'm not on Facebook so I struggle to and connect to relevant interest groups.
I'm looking for groups who are into hiking, scrambling, more difficult mountain climbs. I'm 33, and happy to be involved in a group more focused around my age or a mixed bag. Presently I don't have a car, so I'm also looking for groups who plan a hiking and either arrange transport ect.
Also, recently got into stand up paddleboarding, I'd be cool to find a group of likeminded people who are into this, even though I can't think of many places around leeds that would be as nice for this when compared to the lake district.
Help, please?
I've done it a few times and have a good grip of it.
Got a few staycations around Wales and the Lakes this year and thinking of buying a blow up one seeing as how loads of people SUP and kayak around the places we are going.
Anyone got advice on what a good value one would be?
Hi everyone,
So I'm probably starting later in life (early 30's) but trying to get educated on this.
I've come here following a conversation with my folks - who in passing mentioned they have a financial advisor who is managing a stocks and shares ISA.
They pointed out that given I have a decent house deposit, and a car deposit - and I'm just trying to up my salary and pass my driving test before I buy a property, I should look at getting some money invested as an additional to a pension, or look at dividends.
I have no clue about investing - I assumed proper investing was for well educated LSE people and people hiring them to make them more money on extra cash I can only dream of.
A few days of googling and it's clear there's a lot of gimmiky stuff, but also a lot of people who are 'normal' do this.
The advisor my folks use is regulated and accredited and I am scheduling a meeting with them, but I don't want to go in blind with no foundational knowledge - I'd like to understand what he talks about, and potentially set an agenda and objectives.
Is there a book, webpage or PDF I can access which is useful for getting and understanding of investing, and how to use it. So far all I understand is open a stocks and shares ISA, invest in the FTSE100 and / or SNP 500 to reduce risk.
However, as someone tied to an average wage, it'd be nice to use this period of time when I have minimal overheads to look into gaining something that pays out dividends so later in life, so I don't have just the one source of income. But I don't know if this is pie in the sky thinking.
If anyone can direct me to reliable resources that'd be great - or please correct me if I am way off the mark.
I know it's difficult due to the impact of AI, or it's potential greater impacts.
I'll caveat this with no trade recommendations please. I'm yet to pass my driving and I can't see it happening soon, and I guess you need to drive for those jobs.
I'm open to ideas, I'm 33 and fed up of my dead end office job where experience gets no rewards.
Limitations:
Work full time, so study after work.
Ideally exams / tests done from home
Self pacing or largely self-paced
Low cost of entry, though open to paying for advanced practitioner courses and tests should initial learning spark something in me, or look like a good investment.
So, at somepoint in the future I'm looking at setting up a hillstream (ish) aquarium. My treated tapwater comes out around 7.4 ph, and is not hard, nor is it soft really.
I'm looking at doing a 5 x 1 x 1.5 ft, or 5 x 1.5 x 1.5 ft ( Length, width, height) tank and specifically deciding between a tropical hillstream (stiphodon, gastromyzon, similar species), or a more sub tropical tank (psudogastromyzon, rhinogobius sp.).
It'd be my first attempt at keeping these and I love the behaviours, but I just feel like I Nedd a reality check in terms of husbandry of these guys.
Eg, ease of feeding - variety of foods, where to buy and self-cultivation. How territorial are they, are species fiesty, or actually territorial inter and intra species wise?
This would be a display tank, so whilst animal welfare is the priority, I'm hoping to make a pleasant natural looking scape.
Anyone able to weigh in?
So, I've got into wildlife photography recently.
I live with my mum and dad and where we are, we get a decent amount of wildlife nearby.
By which I mean above the garden, and down the fields 20 mins away.
Regulars above our house / in the nearby trees are:
Regular sightings of 5x red kites all at once.
A sparrow hawk
Owl species
Down the fields we regularly see a pair of kestrels, more kites, sparrow hawks, buzzards, and a barn owl.
I'd love to get good shots of them but they move so fast.
My dad suggested putting scraps of left over meat on posts for them and trying to tempt them to kind or get lower.
However, I'm worried that this is illegal.
Would this be OK to do, or should I avoid it?
I think I've been on oral treatment about 6 weeks now, and can't tell when to expect things to get worse before hopefully better.
Also just wondering if you were a average, below or above average responder and when all that kicked in?
Hey, just wondering whether ponds forge pool has a sauna, and if so as a non-gym member can you just pay directly one session to go in, swim and sauna?
But does anyone commute on here Sheffield on a weekly basis, who'd be happy to take a carpooler on?
Fairly new job out of desperation, renting isn't an option, and the 2-3 hours lost to commuting is slowly killing me.
Hope to hear something 🙏
