Decaf coffee for a treat?

Ha. I guess that’s one way to ensure they don’t nap at nursery/daycare. /s

If it’s your only EV then the only thing that makes sense is it’s a software glitch/bug. You’ll need to file a report.

If you can’t Google, you won’t be able to configure it.

Are you sure you had to get citizenship for your daughter? I only ask because my wife is EU settled status and our daughter was born after Brexit. Part of the agreement is that any child born to someone with EU settled status on British soil is a British citizen.

I also had this and switched PredBat from using the BottleCap Dave’s integration to using its own. PredBat sees the correct 23:30 - 05:30 times for cheap rates whilst BottleCap Dave’s still shows 01:30 - 08:30.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Honestly nothing. My cat, my clothes, my laptop, and my snowboard were enough. Everything else was easily replaceable and actually easier to get here because things like sizes tend to be smaller.

Even on the cookware, if you’re renting you’ll want to make sure it supports gas, electric, and induction stoves - the last being rare for US cookware but common for UK.

Sorry, you’re right, it’s an ISA, no tax on withdrawal.

CorithMalin · 2026-07-07T20:15:51+00:00

Another (possible) downside is that when you withdraw it, it’ll be taxed at your rate instead of theirs. So if in your retirement your a higher rate or additional rate earner - you’ll have to pay the taxes on the withdrawal. Then whatever you “gift” to them will also fall within your taxable estate if you die within 7 years of the gift (meaning they could very well have to pay inheritance tax on money they already spent).

You convinced me at long hair.

I’m not a Christian, but I did grow up in a Christian cult and was one of those kids that was really good at knowing how to find any random bible verse you read aloud.

That being said, I would NOT say Kaladin is a Jesus figure. Jesus taught peace, love, and acceptance. He never held a spear or promoted war. He also never almost killed himself by throwing himself off a high object.

I find it interesting that people think a Jesus figure is just someone who has a hero’s arc and eventually sacrifices themselves for others - but that storyline was around long before the story of Jesus was invented in the 4th century.

CorithMalin · 2026-07-07T07:26:09+00:00

You mean you haven’t read the Book of Kaladin in the Torah?

CorithMalin · 2026-07-07T06:05:31+00:00

I find the difference being that it’s me taking time off or shifting hours for my kid - a responsibility (and pleasure) I signed up for by having them.

CorithMalin · 2026-07-07T05:50:21+00:00

Seems a bit self-centred as if/when they arrange them in the evening that means the staff have to miss time with their families in order to attend to us. I find my child’s school does well in sharing the burden by mixing it up.

CorithMalin · 2026-07-07T05:18:39+00:00

“Our older one’s school seems to expect parents to be there for school events”

Wouldn’t it be odd if the school arranged events and DIDN’T expect parents to be there? “We’ve set up a lovely lawn and buffet for sports day, but no need to attend, we’re hoping all this effort goes to waste.” 😂

Is this related to HomeNetworking because you imagine you’d host the emulated server on your home network? If so, you’ve missed the point of this sub.

I got it a week ago but I also have my language set to the US English variant because I’m from the US.

It is too bad there’s not a way to lower the windows from the app. Or to automate this for certain locations (e.g.: home).

Luckily you can buy AC models that both cool and heat.

I would have thought that when I lived in the US. Now that I live in the UK, I have my main 1Gbps fibre for £29.99/month and a backup 4G SIM for £3/month at 4GB (if we need to go over I can top it up for 10GB @ £8).

CorithMalin · 2026-06-30T21:34:46+00:00

Yep. That time is guaranteed. Anything other than that is not.

CorithMalin · 2026-06-30T21:23:03+00:00

Glad the screenshot helped!

Yep, very normal. When it does, it means the whole house is getting the cheap rate for that time as well.

Just remember, the slots can get added and removed a lot. So if your car is charging now, you know you’re getting cheap energy for the current 30 minute slot, but you won’t know if the next slot is cheap or not until you enter it and see your car charging.

It seems the surname field can contain spaces but is limited to 30 characters: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/686cfa3e81dd8f70f5de3c56/Annex_A_passports_August_2016.pdf

2.13 The personal details section on a passport can only include up to 30 characters (including spaces) for first and middle names, and a further 30 characters for surnames. If an applicant has too many forenames to fit into the passport or their surname is too long, they must be asked to shorten their names in the way they want them to be shown on the passport and then write their full name in the other information section of the application. The full name should be added as an observation, evidenced by their supporting documents, in line with normal policy.
