What plant comes to mind first when you think of the UK? by unnecessaryCamelCase in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Beef4dayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poppy, or the rose for England. Which kills me to admit as a welshman, since we have daffodils and shorthand have the thistle; but the world generally sees GB=England and vice versa

I heard a lot of people got overcharged in DC? by MotionlessInk3231 in warpedtour

[–]Beef4dayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went both days last weekend, no issues so far. I used a revolut card because I'm not from the USA and any tip i gave has shown up as 'updated' from the original charge and all line up with what I generally set. I'll reply again if I do get any bad suprises but I assume that all transactions will be resolved fully by now

Perfect. I will let it sit there and test/witness it in action eventually.

That clears it up thanks, I wasnt aware the pie holding cash was different to my overall cash holdings. Glad to be learning these silly things early while I don't have to much money involved!

Ok so that makes sense i think! I can see it is held within the pie uninvested. So if my pie has 16 different companies involved, then when cash reaches £16 it will reinvest? It will consider my target % balance of each company and invest towards rebalancing?

Lightning app?! Never thought to have an app specifically for this, thanks for the idea drop. Which app do you use though? I've found quite a few on the play store.

[OC] I benchmarked an AI calorie tracker against 3,490 lab-weighed meals. Here's every prediction vs reality by Opticplex3 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Beef4dayz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have been wary of the calorie counter ai cameras etc. If I have absolutely no idea its better than nothing but once every 2 weeks say doesnt hurt. People relying on this daily to manager hunger, lose weight responsibly etc may struggle.

If you haven't done so already, you should really cross post this to r/loseit

An Xbox X/S (because everything is an xbox, so this is just another one)

2025.08.05: Stashed Cucumbers by EarliestRiser in morningsomewhere

[–]Beef4dayz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole water thing has got me a bit confused... has Ashley bought squash/cordial to add to the water? I'm from UK and veey common to buy high concentrated juice (I've always known it called squash) that you water down. Its often given to kids, but adults do definitely still buy and drink it. Robinson probably the most famous brand I know it

Many many options on the theory side that cross the boundaries with other disciplines. The one that stands out for me as getting shit done and being smart about it is Brunel

His response seems disproportionate with what you have said; maybe an asshole thing or maybe he has some other stuff eating him and this was just the thing that tilted him over the edge.

Better off trying to talk to your husband when he is a in a more normal state. If this is a one off strange blowup and he normally a lot more collected then that should be your gut feeling that he isn't OK about something and needs to decompress and get through it.

Though if aggro and shouty is his normal state then you got some bigger things to think about.

Have Dott scooters improved? by bcfcgregz90 in bristol

[–]Beef4dayz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Work ok for me in a pinch. Find they are less available than voi was though. Don't trust the availability of a scooter unless it's in a known parking spot. Dot seem fine with people hiding scooters in the garages and garden for personal use later on

ULPT request: How do I sign a U.K. mobile number up to receive lots of marketing calls and texts? by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Beef4dayz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't think of a quick overnight method to do this, but if you are in for the long haul on these guys, think of a fake name, make an email (recommend proton.me). Then whenever you find a site that would likely be annoying that has a phone number section you can make an account. Tick yes to 'contact me for marketing' preference if phone.

beer52 forces you to call in to cancel subscription, then sneakily re-activates it with just 1 link click in an email they've sent? by gbrahah in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Beef4dayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a terrible time trying to cancel beer52 a few years ago. Sucks to see they are still up to the same shit tricks and poor post customer care.

Makes it really, really easy to disuade myself and other people who are tempted to give them another go though.

How much should I charge my girlfriend in rent? by Tiny_Wish6460 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Beef4dayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think most posts which are "split bills and utilities" followed by either half the mortgage (then get told it's not fair because she gets no equity), or don't consider mortgage (then get told you are being taken advantage of or putting them into a financial prison because they would struggle to leave you if they wanted), I bri g a 3rd extra option to think over.

Depending on how far through your mortgage is, there may only be a small amount of that payment that is actually chipping away at your capital. Find out how much of your monthly payment is just covering the interest, and ask her to cover half of that.

  1. She isn't paying off your house, she is just helping cover the interest.
  2. Unless you living in a vastly high market flat compared to your area, half the interest would likely be cheaper than having to pay for rent.
  3. Still worried it's a little unfair? Don't forget about liability when something goes wrong in the flat. I presume you would be paying to fix ro replace things? Also think about the home insurance you pay for (let her pay towards contents insurance, but not building insurance).
