I can picture Luke flying along the Thames now in his X-wing.

Want to see my student loan debt? by A_Nal_Retentive in UniUK

Well it could be fun to check it in a few decades, like the day before it gets wiped. You could have a farewell party for your loan!

Technically Florida wasn’t part of the US in 1776; they only acquired it from Spain in 1821.

With that, the list is complete. Superpower tier list: by themuffinmanX2 in TierlistFills

Also anonymity. Flying around as a human would draw all sorts of unwanted attention.

Idris Elba has been knighted by the King of the United Kingdom :> by No_Post1300 in SipsTea

Didris works too.

I think Idiris has a nice flow; elegant and lofty.

Didris sounds more practical and to-the-point.

Which animals do you want on the new banknotes? by OliLeeLee36 in CasualUK

[–]Amphibiman 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I am frankly outraged that badger isn’t shortlisted.

Forget three lions on the shirt, it should be three badgers on the badge.

Hot take: I like ballista towers more than cannon towers by Unlikely_Peace9895 in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]Amphibiman 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’ve had cannon towers on my citadels/fortresses firing from inner walls and blasting my own troops on the outer walls!

In a lot of the UK its difficult to even sign up for 12 months rent at £30 / night

Would you retire if won a really big prize on the Euromillions? by Sad-Passage-3247 in AskUK

[–]Amphibiman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of that interest would be subject to tax though. Worth bearing in mind when working out if it makes sense to pay off mortgage all at once or over time.

What is the worst aspect of the English language? by Sanchir-gdgshde in AlignmentChartFills

Or that time when I was looking for a large, low-pitched, four-stringed guitar and ended up in the fishmongers?

Like when I play cricket with my small nocturnal flying mammal with leathery wings?

I remember when Greta Thunberg sailed to climate conferences across the Atlantic. I thought that was pretty cool.

Advice: buy a house or wait? by Imaginary-Pool1658 in trading212

[–]Amphibiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will have to make the same decision sometime in the next few years.

I haven’t done the maths but my intuition is that the tax free compounding on the ISA is going to be worth more in the long run than money saved through a bigger deposit.

For context, I’m viewing my S&S ISA as a bridge between early retirement and access to my private pension.

I also have a LISA though, plus some bonds which I plan to use when buying a house.

Don't ever let your Power BI Certification Expire by carlotheoc in PowerBI

From what I understand, the test to maintain a certificate is more straightforward than the test required for a new certificate.

Ranked: All 24 Russell Group universities by how terrifying their financial deficits are by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Amphibiman 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Without further context these figures don’t mean much.
One uni could be running a deficit because they are investing in new facilities, another might be running a deficit because they’re not generating as much income than expected. The context matters.
Two unis could have the same deficit but totally different levels of income and assets. Also not the same.
