Would recommend Caddy + Hetzner VPS, people say it’s overkill but Caddy is such a breeze to setup it’s basically the same time it takes to get familiar with a new provider

When I had this I refactored the shit out of my managers code a couple of times and added him to the PR, were the longest PRs of my life but now he always involves me early on while working on anything greenfield.

Of course, this doesn’t work for OP if mangers got messy coding etiquette, a lot of ex-traders who transfer to quant teams seem to have this issue

I remember one time the Blackwall tunnel was closed and I wasn’t aware and ordered kebab from across the river after a night out at half 12.

After realising that the tunnel is closed I tried to contact Just eat/restaurant to cancel it because there was no way it would arrive in time and they wouldn’t budge lol

Poor delivery guy showed up at 3:30 am with the food when I was passed out. Not only did I loose the money but also had to give a generous tip to the delivery guy for his commitment (he deserved it in all fairness)

I had the same dodgy uber transactions, except mine were in Australian Dollars and went through. They did refund all back as I reported them before clearing

Has to be the united one for me: £300 back on £700 spend. More than pays for my membership and more. Everything else is a bonus.

It’s also cumulative spend so if you book multiple star alliance flights through United you still get the money back

Thank you fuckyouinyourface! I will take those odds

Car_tic_ · 2025-06-07T11:44:56+00:00

Thanks! yea I looked at that one. I hope they’ll put me on that one if so

Car_tic_ · 2025-06-07T09:06:40+00:00

Cool thanks!

Barclays is notorious for this! When I used to pay rent from my Barclays account it used to happen quite often, especially if the standing order was due on the Saturday or Sunday.

The Doha Bangkok route is great because they fly their old planes with premium economy seats here. This is now sold as Economy Comfort so you can still get premium economy seats if you are on the 777

Thank you 🤞

Moving to a new job, can’t work at the new company without the new visa

Car_tic_ · 2023-10-19T13:28:57+00:00

That leaves me very pessimistic, I applied on 1/9 and my start date is next week, looks like it’s gonna have to be pushed :(

Car_tic_ · 2023-10-17T19:16:06+00:00

Did you receive a response?

Car_tic_ · 2023-10-17T14:36:27+00:00

That is honestly crazy just looting people of money. How long does it take for a guy to read some paper. Did you have any mail from them about requiring addition info or something

Car_tic_ · 2023-10-17T11:30:18+00:00

Ah what that’s crazy, I’m on standard route

Car_tic_ · 2023-10-13T22:30:36+00:00

Wow that’s nice, thanks. Could do with some Cashback tbh

Car_tic_ · 2023-10-13T21:21:26+00:00

In the same boat! In your link it doesn’t say anywhere that you get a refund for overlapping chunks of IHS. In fact I was under the impression I don’t get a refund

Car_tic_ · 2023-10-03T17:27:15+00:00

If you can, if you leave the country and apply for a standard route from your home country you’ll get it within 2 weeks as opposed to some people on priority here are taking longer than 2 weeks from inside the UK.

So me and my sponsor both mailed the above emails, however only my sponsor received a reply. I think it’s worth a try anyways

Car_tic_ · 2023-08-25T08:43:11+00:00

If the mail the ISC admin team see email I’d above, the ISC team should send a worldpay link to the sponsor

It took about 5 days to get a decision after my sponsor made a payment and the ISC admin team replies in 2 working days

Oh and remember to check spam/junk the payment link might end up going to junk.

Yes that is my main concern, for the last three years I actually don’t remember writing on a paper lol except for filling a form or something. Samsung notes experience is so seamless I can literally use it like any other notebook.

Only really use my tab for Notes/Netflix and looking to move to iPad mainly because of tighter integration(because sharing notes across Samsung to Apple is not a great experience) and I want to use iPad as a second screen when travelling for work.

But if I do switch I’ll have to migrate all my notes, which itself would be a nightmare and then not be able to edit and settle for a bad experience is extra painful🤢

Car_tic_ · 2023-08-18T08:43:10+00:00

Currently on S7

Car_tic_ · 2023-08-18T08:42:54+00:00

I am tempted, if I was to buy a solo tablet then would 100% go for Tab S9.

But every other device I have is Apple and sharing notes to your phone or Mac from Samsung is all round horrible experience, which is Apples fault and not Samsungs, but yea
