    Employers Genius solution to staff retention issues.

    They tried to do something similar to all our contracts at my previous employers. The solution was remarkably easy. Get everyone to say NO and put it in writing. Are they going to put everyone on notice for it? Do you have a union that deals with such things?

    Taboo topics and the lack of evidence

    I get £144 a fortnight (single, over 21). £60 of that is spent on a room in a house £20 of that is spent on car insurance (no public transport to the dole office where I'm at and have to get mums prescriptions) £5 of that on petrol £3.50 of that on tax £20 of that is spent on minimum...

    Bakers refuse Gay wedding cake - update: Supreme Court rules in favour of Bakers

    There is no recognized human right for cake either! :eek: This could have easily been solved if the storeperson just removed the ashers logo from the cake instead of telling the purchaser to get lost... I guess you are right, I just wish the news articles were more clear. From where I sit...

    Bakers refuse Gay wedding cake - update: Supreme Court rules in favour of Bakers

    My mum and a lot of her friends are gay or bisexual and Ashers (whose employees who know them) have never refused to serve them... That's only 3 branches of their business though and their employees are people and not just copy and paste machines..

    Bakers refuse Gay wedding cake - update: Supreme Court rules in favour of Bakers

    The bakers in this case didn't refuse to serve them because they were gay - they refused to make gay slogans on their cake and court ruled that discriminatory. I think this ruling is truly awful. Certainly, I can see that to deny someone a service or goods or job because of their sexual...

    The Brand New Animated Image Thread

    It's Tara Reid I can't believe how old I've been feeling for the past week - I was talking to a kid about modding games and about how doom and quake were the ones I started with and he said 'What's doom or quake?'; Now someone doesn't recognize that gif - it's practically ancient. I'll get my...

    New Rape Laws

    After reading the CPS release, I am now embarrased that I fell for editorial spin. Too little information is a dangerous thing, after all. :o

    New Rape Laws

    Does that apply the other way around too? How can a girl sleep with a boy who is drunk, surely that means she doesn't have his consent either? What if they're both drunk and the girl says rape? I don't like drinking alcohol nor talking to drunk people, so I'm trying to not take the mickey or...

    New Rape Laws

    Wait until someone who commits crimes while under the influence - "I wasn't driving drunk, the car took advantage of me - I couldn't consent!" Obviously that's taking the **** about a serious subject, but I've known 3 women who were raped and I talked to one about this and she was seriously...

    ‘Snooper’s charter’: four Lords in bid to pass changed version before election

    According to: http://www.parliament.uk/business/news/2015/january/lords-counter-terrorism-and-security-bill/ You are correct. It seems that I have completely missed the point. Why are people getting bent out of shape over this new 'amendment'? It's already too late. That's what you get...

    ‘Snooper’s charter’: four Lords in bid to pass changed version before election

    TOR is not enough. VPN's won't do anything. The information that physically comes through your connection, regardless of purpose, intent or encryption will be recorded. They'll legislate that encryption should only be used for financial information or commercial interests and if not, they'll...

    ‘Snooper’s charter’: four Lords in bid to pass changed version before election

    Yes, if they use a warrant (and the procedures inherent with that) they can do this, but this bill means that the ISPs have to log all of their customers data for the past 6 months with no due cause. One is targeted and a reasonable capture of data to investigate for a specific reason and this...

    Overtime counting towards holidays

    When I used to work for a well known transport company I had what we called "P60 Holiday & Sick Pay". Basically, if your basic pay was say £18k a year and you worked overtime and your P60 came in at a higher rate like £26k - Your holiday pay instead of being £69.23 a day was £100...

    Have you ever crashed your motorcycle?

    A little, but more like the pure idiocy that comes with showing off around mates. The one where she clipped my rear end (heh) and the van - Just reinforced what my dad always says to me - "You don't really have to watch out for yourself if you're not riding like a lunatic. It's the other...

    Have you ever crashed your motorcycle?

    Being riding since I was 15 (now 28). Within 30 minutes of having my insurance when I turned 16, I crashed (racing a mate). No injuries. 2nd time I was stung by a bee, panicked and ended up catching the kerb with my brake disc and being trailed up the road from 50mph with my face being jammed...

    Very quick question regarding electronics (charging a battery)

    It'll be in parallel, so should still work and I don't really think you'll have to worry about overcharge with the low power panels. Personally, I'd be more comfortable building a little circuit to stop it charging once the battery reaches the right voltage. Don't shout at me if it catches...

    Very quick question regarding electronics (charging a battery)

    You need the battery voltage + 10% to charge it. Also need diodes to stop discharge when the sun isn't shining I think. Better use google for diy solar panel chargers, but most involve voltage regulator ic's

    UK branded an 'Enemy of the Internet'

    I've tried to have conversations about this topic with my family and they all laugh and say things like "If you don't have anything to hide, then you've nothing to worry about". I've tried rebutting with "You say that, but when you've been fined and face possible prison time, because you ripped...
