CEOs of charities on six-figure salaries are not unusual these day...... he RNLI pays its CEO £160k, because, you know, "you have to pay to get the best people" or somesuch garbage.

The amount siphoned off in "administration", etc., can be mindblowing - but you give to charity so you can fund somebody's lifestyle, don't you?

Or someone closely associated who tries to wangle such a position twice. The brass neck to be prevented once and then trying it on again

160k? Peanuts.

I don't know how many of those qualify as charities, other than on a purely taxation basis, or how many are funded purely by public susbscription, but those salaries are rediculous in any supposedly "caring" organization.

The ridiculous imbalance between those who game the system and those who pay for it is as bad as anything under feudalism.

PetrifiedExPat

This post made me physically sick

Red Eric

Literally?

Lion in Winter

Not that it makes much difference, but those orgs aren't charities like Mind, or Red Cross or Oxfam. Those in the US are almost certainly 501c(4)s. Red Cross et al are 501c(3)s. 501c3 denotes orgs with a charitable purpose and donations to them are tax deductible. 501c4s meet a different standard, are there for "social welfare", can engage in political lobbying and other activity forbidden to c3s, and donations to them are not tax deductible. Hospitals often get c4 status.

mikelincs

Not political, BUT, I've got a new computer, and it automatically spell checks everything I write, but it's bl***y American, so doesn't like me hearing rumours, expects me to hear rumors.. I keep having to update the spellchecker. Rant over.

BuckinghamshireBoy

If it's running Windows 10, have a look in Settings/Time & Language/Language for the spelling and/or Settings/Devices/Typing to turn autocorrect off (or on).

Should be similar in Windows 11, one would hope

BristolUK

Anything that allows me to select English (UK) I do so.
I don't mind the squiggly underlining but I see it less often with UK chosen.

I just wish there was something that highlights when something is a word but not the one I intended.

Of all the keyboards I've used I've had nothing like this one that either doesn't always pick up my touch on certain letters or the space bar or puts three letters when I do a double. Or puts two spaces when I only do one.

M is the biggest culprit and when I type time it comes out as tie so there's no squiggly line to make me see it.

Other than that I very much like this laptop but I still find it tempting to get a new one.

mikelincs

It's Windows 11, so just went into setting and disabled it to stop it keeping telling me I've made a mistake.

Steerpike

In windows 11, you go to Settings -> Time and Language -> Language and Region. For me, being in the US and only wanting US behavior, I'm happy with the selection that's already there - English (United States). But there's a button for 'Add a Language' and I presume that's where I would add English (UK), and having added the second language, I presume I could then flip between English (US) and English (UK). However, I'm not sure if that affects spell check or not (see below).

The first question for Mikelincs would be - do you see 'English (UK)' or 'English (US)' on that page? When you first set up the computer, you are asked to make a selection. I would have thought you would have selected UK, and if so, your spell check should be UK based. HOWEVER - It may be that the 'windows' language choice here only affects 'applications' like Word, Excel, etc. If you are looking for spelling corrections in a browser-based environment, such as BE, maybe that's controlled by the browser.

For me, in Chrome, I can go to (...) -> Settings -> Languages. Here I see "English (US)", and an option to 'add languages'. Finally, there's an option for 'spell check'. So it would seem the spell checking function of a browser site like BE is controlled in this Chrome settings area, not the Windows settings area (though the windows setting possibly 'influences' (defaults) the browser settings). The same settings are available in 'Edge', and I imagine FireFox and others also.

So did turning it off in 'windows settings' do the trick? I'm curious now to understand how the browser spell check settings relate to the 'windows' spell check settings.

EDIT TO ADD - this page - Introducing an improved spellcheck experience in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Edge Blog (windows.com) suggests that since 2020, Edge, Chrome and Windows share a common spell check experience. Lots of details though, which I haven't pursued.

mikelincs

I've got the setting sorted out now, I did tell it English (UK) when I first set it up, it's jut the spell checker.

Gozit

My friends recently bought an extemely smoke damaged and roughly lived in home. As a housewarming i wanted to get all the nicotine professionally cleaned and give the house a thorough clean. After having the cleaning crew there for a total of 12 hours the house looks no different. Still cobwebs on the ceilings, the nicotine stains look no better, some walls weren't even touched.

The owner of the business is trying to make it out as my fault for having too high expectations. And now says they are too short staffed to send another team to finish the job properly. And of course since they are not admitting any sort of fault they want me to pay for every additional hour they do come out. Zero apologies or concessions offered by them. Completely unprofessional and now i'm at a loss of what to do with these people.

Haven't paid them a cent yet, part of me wants to just tell them to sod off and they aren't getting a cent unless they come finish the job.
