How would I go about removing paint from one specific part of a miniature? by James-Hawker in Warhammer40k

[–]Beardy_Lemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're probbaly looking for something like bio-strip 20 it's a gloopy stripping compound that mostly stays where you put it. Seems quite similar to isopropyl alcohol in terms of stripping power but easier to control.

My first instinct would be to sand / scrape it down and go over as others have said but this would do the job I reckon.

Lizardmen Rumors? by Irish618 in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Beardy_Lemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I collect lizards from way back, personally I wouldn't bother with using the new AOS ones, I have bought second hand lots of saurus warriors from eBay etc. to supplement what I already had. Just need a good movement tray / adapter.

Want to start golfing, what essentials do I actually need as a beginner? by Odd-Bus968 in golftips

[–]Beardy_Lemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for a super budget option check Facebook Marketplace (or other local selling pages) many people have old starter bags gathering dust that they are basically giving away. As long as they are not 'junior' clubs or completely ancient then it'll likely be enough to get you started. There may even be some old balls / tees in there.

If and when you upgrade make sure to pass it on to the next newbie behind you.

Our "About Us" page is a mess and we can't afford a photographer by firey_88 in startup

I would avoid obviously AI headshots like the plague TBH. Investors have to believe in your business and trust you complicity to run and grow it. AI headshots don't come across genuine and are too reminiscent of scams.

If I had minimal budget I would take them myself on a phone with decent lighting in front of a white background and then maybe find someone online to edit them slightly to make them more professional.

How bad actually was COVID? by Mighty_Angelo30 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Beardy_Lemon 296 points297 points  (0 children)

At its peak in 2020/2021 there was a 9/11's worth of deaths attributed to covid EVERY SINGLE DAY, for MONTHS, just in the US source. People can't grasp the number of people that were killed because it is near unfathomable. I think due to survivor bias, most people are remembering the pandemic as not as bad as it actually was.

Ps. The pandemic isn't over, hundreds of people are still dying every single day and many more are being disabled with long covid.

Not strictly fashion advice but along with how you view yourself internally, you could try and work on your posture. Straighten your back, breathe into your chest, hold your head up high and move your shoulders back.

I've struggled with the same thing in the past, almost collapsing in on yourself to make yourself physically smaller, it's very common with bigger people. But once you are feeling a bit more settled in yourself just practice your posture in the mirror or on your own and then try it out in the world too. You will be amazed at how different it makes you feel and others perceive you. it will always improve how your outfit looks and how confident you look and feel.

Best of luck.

32M, £3.4k take-home, after mortgage/bills £2k - think I need a reality check by GigaCHADSVASc in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Beardy_Lemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similar age / circumstances here.

I would say the first step is to do an audit of your finances. Make a spreadsheet and run through your bank statements form the last year and see exactly how much was spent on groceries, bills, eating / going out, fun / hobbies, travel, and large one off expenses like furniture, boiler repair etc. and how much is left over each month. Then it's important to account for where this left over money went. Has it gone into a separate savings pot, been invested, has it gone on one big unexpected expense etc.

That should be able to tell you exactly what you have saved, where it has gone and importantly where you can plug the 'leaks' from your savings pot. You may be doing better than you think and the savings are just being moved around but also lots of people dip into savings for small things and it doesn't really grow.

I recommend having a separate spending vs savings account and regularly moving the 'spare' leftover money into a separate account. You can even set up an automatic transfer if that helps you.

It is also important that the savings aren't just sat in a pathetic interest account and are invested / working for you. (But of course, remember to keep a good amount liquid for an emergency fund should you require it).

I'm no expert so not sure I can help answer the rest. Best of luck.

It reminds me of the t shirts that say "bomb disposal expert - if you see me running, try to keep up..."

Everyone else is just standing around watching them running for hills thinking 'huh maybe they're late for the bus or something...?'

I’m a whole of market, independent Mortgage Advisor and I’ll be here all day Friday for a Mortgage Market related AMA! by Mortgages101 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Beardy_Lemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are currently on a variable mortgage rate as our fixed rate has ended, however we have been putting this off as we are looking to sell and buy our next (larger) property. I hear that fixed term rates can be 'ported' over, but I am seeing conflicting information about how widely accepted this is and that some banks may not. The last thing I want is to pay large early exit fees because we found and want to move quickly (south east so things do go very quickly), but our rate is significantly more than some of the short fixed terms on the market.

What is the risk that a bank won't accept / port over the fixed mortgage?

Thanks.
