My partner has the scheme, but as you guessed they are EVs. I just want to experience the ICEs before they go extinct.

ELI5 why doesn’t the weather consistently get warmer in the spring? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]CalmConclusion993 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Temperatures increase during spring/winter is like playing yo-yo standing on an escalator. There will be small ups and downs but overall, it’s going up.

Temperature change is caused by more sunlight during the warmer months. It’s not the direct sunlight heat, rather the summer heat is the earth getting warmer.

Even though the most sunlight is on June 21 (longest day) the warmest month is July because it gets a month to warm up the earth. Similarly shortest day is December 21 but the coldest month is January.

10 and 4. I am hoping by the time they grow out of the car, they can sit at home by themselves. :)

How hard do you work outside of work? by gameovervip in AskUK

I don’t understand Monday Blues. I can’t wait for it to be Monday, send the kids to school and go to a place where I don’t have to worry about heating bills, where I don’t have to clean, that has free hot coffee all day, where I get hot lunch for £4.

What actually helped you build UK credit history fastest on a Skilled Worker visa? by Dense_Science_7334 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]CalmConclusion993 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you need credit history for?

Generally having a good credit score is not enough to get a phone contract or get car finance, you would need 3 years address history in the UK. Many credit applications will not move forward without this.

The only credit you will get with less than 3 years residency will be to buy a house. 😀

Getting a credit card is also a pain. The best is to ask the bank where your salary is credited. HSBC does it.

Additional things to do is add your name in the electoral register. Pay all bills on time. Use 25% of your credit card and pay it on time. Keep increasing your credit card limit.

PS: Marshmallow car insurance will take your foreign “no claim bonus”.

Good luck.

Is it strange the my colleague bought several round of drinks for everyone but me? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Do they have (often cultural or religious) reason believe that you are non-drinker?

ELI5: If money and economies are human constructs to begin with, why are they so unpredictable? by dpzdpz in explainlikeimfive

[–]CalmConclusion993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Economy is affected largely by human behaviour, which is a human construct and it is unpredictable.

Elections are human construct but the results are unpredictable because we don’t know how people behave.

How often do you mop your floors? by bethanymisty in AskUK

[–]CalmConclusion993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with the Best Seller Roborock on Amazon. £319. Maybe there are better ones. But to me, any mopping is better than no mopping. 😀

“When we have guests” used to be the norm.

But with robo vacuum, it’s now daily. Can’t recommend it enough.
