    Ever declined a good job?

    Some interesting mentions of imposter syndrome, which I feel is natural to some extent. There is only so much the interview process can achieve, particularly if you don't have the stamina/time/inclination for some of the longer processes (I think Google used to have 7 interviews for some of the...

    Ever declined a good job?

    It's a natural course of action particularly as you get older. Early on when you have no responsibilities such as a mortgage, kids, care of people or property, you have more flexibility to take risks, travel and spread your wings. I'd argue it's not about turning the opportunity down, it's...

    E-Bike or HT?

    A lot of it is dependent on the individual, but my focus is more recreation with a slight bit of commuting. I live in a hilly area, and want to get as much enjoyment and motivation out of cycling and reduce the things that make me not want to head out, so i'm in the process of building my own...

    But they can't as "he doesn't work directly for the team, he's a consultant". j/k

    He's also building his own Yacht (or having it it built as it were), and is planning to sail around Italy to Croatia and Greece in the next year or so, so his head is turned to a degree. I imagine he'll want to be doing a good bit of sailing whilst he can and is physically able - he's not...

    I don't really have any strong feelings about RB and it's employees but like others such as Malt Vinegar, I do have pretty good grasp of how corporate ethics, culture and practices work. What's interesting is to see in threads like this how each side bends aspects to their preferential...

    Well the scales have tipped since yesterday. I've seen the drive contents in full. It's not totally for certain but i'm finding it hard to believe that the messages and content are fake. The cope is hardcore in here it seems but it doesn't really matter whether anything is written into his...

    I've seen some of it. Could easily be faked, but in any case nothing there is a gotcha, but if true his wife probably wouldn't be happy at some of it.

    To be honest the whole exercise wasn't really going to satisfy anyone. The alleged "100% independent investigation" was funded by Red Bull and it doesn't matter whether it was funded by the parent company, the motorsport arm or Christian himself, it isn't by it's nature 100% impartial, purely...

    I remember listening to that interview at the time and it's pretty compelling and James speaks incredibly well, but there is always going to be an element of confirmation bias at play when it comes to speaking to the team. Other parts jumped out to me such as Vowles admits to getting the figures...

    I'm disappointed with the outcome, despite seeing it from both sides. I think most of the disappointment comes from the fact that it was a pretty strong case for an entrant in my eyes, and if it doesn't happen for them, it's unlikely to happen for any other candidates. Some of the reasoning is...

    Yeah, I agree. As said I understand the standpoint of the teams, but it largely comes down to annoying politics. It's clearly a full-fat entry and would be a great talking point. Much better than talking about Alpha Tauri's abomination of a team name.

    Quality of Razor mice?

    I've got my eye on a Naga Pro - i've always been Logitech but I enjoy having 6 thumb buttons and I don't think they have a current offering. I'm quite interested to see what the difference will be given how i've been with Logitech for many years now. Has anyone else made the leap from Logitech...

    Yeah I saw that earlier and was a bit surprised as the last I heard they were still headed for rejection. I do see the annoyance of the teams that another prospective team has "turned up when the sun is shining", but I would like to see Andretti/GM in the sport. I'm not sure how good their...

    Gray Zone Warfare

    Looks promising, but hope they don't screw it up. Too many half baked efforts recently in the advent of the world of early access releases. Beautiful light also looks good.

    Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone (Battlenet ID's in OP)

    I'm progressing through it slowly with a friend (curse of being a Dad). Annoying to see the same old bugs still there from DMZ (FOV vehicle bug, lag in vehicles etc.). Only good side to the bugs is it's relatively easy now to get 4 of us in the same game as they seem to have scaled back on the...

    YouTube Premium

    Yeah, in the world of needing constant stimulation, unless i'm doing a job which requires complete concentration, I like listening to something in the background. The algorithm can be hit and miss though for my feed. Sometimes its good but other times it flags up rubbish and/or content i've...

    Any recommendations for good 2 player co-op?

    Escape Academy is good if you like a co-op escape room experience. Overcooked! series is also good and can be played on different screens/machines

    YouTube Premium

    It might be moot, but it also allows background play which I use as I tend to listen to YouTube a lot whilst doing DIY etc. But fair enough if it's not for you. I easily get my moneys worth to be honest.

    Light circuit tripping breaker

    Yep a sparks should be able to come in and test each circuit. Definitely would advise that as it could be a safety issue.
