We also maxed out the limit twice. 10k for us. Went 2k over the first time. Second time is this year so hoping he doesn’t need anything expensive before June. He’s has 2 total hip replacements at £8500 each.

Takes longer to get in and out the airport. I bet there’s not much in it overall

I did this once, it was legitimate but he refused to tell me even what department he called from. I said i wasn’t going to give personal into to an incoming call and i wasn’t calling back unless i knew why. He ended up mailing me a letter instead.

I almost got scammed a few years ago by being called about fraudulent activity the day after i reported fraudulent activities, in hindsight I think they just got lucky with timing, but I take no chances now.

Ever noticed how decades ago if someone defeated a bank’s security we called it bank robbery, but now it’s called identity theft and we get blamed for it.

It’s taken me a while to learn how to use it and where it works best but I’m coming around to where it fits.

Just today i was doing a new project, i wrote a couple lines about what i needed and asked for a database schema. It looked about 80% right. Then asked for all the models for the ORM i wanted and it did that. Probably saved an hour of tedious typing.

The town i used to live in, population 180,000, has a big park right outside the centre. It’s got a lake, open grass, a small wood. It’s a very nice park. Always busy.

The west edge is bordered by a 7ft wire fence and beyond it is a golf course 2.5x larger than the park. At a glance it looks very similar except this land is reserved for the exclusive use of ~500 members.

It’s not really an option for renters, tenants aren’t going to pay for solar panels on someone else’s house and landlords wouldn’t get any benefit.

I’d rather see public investment in grid installations that can benefit everyone, not just the poorest who were rich enough to buy a house, along with reforming the energy market so pay what the energy actually cost and not as if it was all gas.

Another one for immich but I’m also running immich-public-proxy. It proxies just the share links so the entire instance isn’t public.

My last job did this. They offered more for those who had worked there longer. People with over 15 years got about a years pay and they all took it. People who had been there under a year got nothing so they all stayed.

I was going to take then they withdrew the offer for all devs. I think a lot tried to take it and they realised no one would be left. I would have got 3-4 months pay. Loads of institutional knowledge lost though, i left anyway a few months later.

Since before bitcoin we’ve had Faster Payments in UK. I can transfer money directly to anyone else’s bank account and it’s effectively instant. It’s also free. Venmo and cashapp don’t serve a purpose here.

US and allies were first world, Soviets and allies were the second world, everyone else was third world.

I’ve given up asking. I’ve been on the site since 2008, the last time i asked something and actually got an answer was 2017.

I was expecting this one.

I love this about Nix. Had a case this year where I’d hit a bug in the upstream, I fixed it and submitted a PR but then could reference that PR directly for the patch file until a new release finally made it out.

The bit about SEND is a lie because they are exempt from the new tax. The “hardworking parents” bit always annoys me, it implies the 93% just aren’t working hard enough. If that’s the case I’m sure those who can’t afford the tax can just work a bit harder to cover it.

I did the same when I was 10. Got lucky with the position and did no real damage despite the nail coming out the top of the top of my shoe.

I pulled my foot back and the nail come out. Went to tell my dad what happened and he was talking to someone and told me to wait so i did for about 5 minutes. I wasn’t bawling in pain so he didn’t know anything was wrong.

Went to hospital and got an X-ray, a tetanus shot and a bandage.

No, an imperial ton is 1016kg. America made up this all on their own

Makes me wonder what we did wrong. We had a 20 person wedding. Immediate relatives only, parents grandparents and siblings plus their partners.

I paid for everything, including an open bar. We got 1 gift from my wife’s grandparents and that was it.

Theres an extra detail that is often missed, in 2011 the roll out was accelerated by 4 years and there’s some evidence it may have taken in to 2014 to notify everyone affected so it’s possible you may have been expecting to get a pension in 2016 and with just over a year’s notice find it’s been moved to 2020.

They also increased the age to 66 and now 67 for everyone.

I have more sympathy for those but that’s a much smaller cohort than the 3M figure being reported.

It’s not even true. He wasn’t an MP at the time it happened.

This is exactly what my RS was like, very inclusive and secular and my teacher was an Anglican priest. He didn’t let his own views impact his teaching. I didn’t appreciate it at the time but he was a great teacher.
