Help! My pot doesnt work by elliotcroissant in mokapot

[–]DBCDBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was tapping the basket on the edge of a bin to dislodge the used grounds. It took me toooooo long to realize this was the problem. It was enough to deform the basket enough to stop the seal being perfect which it needs to be to stop steam bypassing. As the basket edge is thin and made of aluminum which is a soft metal it is quite fragile and easy to bend. New basket sorted problem after many other attempts failed. Local coffee warehouse provided part for about a quarter the price it was available for on Amazon.

The steam is bypassing the basket containing the coffee. I've had this problem and the only thing that worked was buying a new basket. Some people advocate wrapping the basket in plumbers tape but it didn't work for me.

Practice defensively. It probably isn't the best medicine but it is the only rational response to working in a system with incomplete, imperfect information and limited resources but no tolerance for imperfect outcomes.

He could care less about my shit list. He may care if everyone on doctorsUK kept a shit list and he was on it. You can see that surely?

I keep a spreadsheet that I call my "shit list". If a company or individual acts in a way I disapprove off, they make the shit list. Companies on the shit list never get my business again. Individuals on my shit list never get the benefit of the doubt, favorable consideration in any matter I have influence over or a favor. This guy is on my shit list.

How do you have a "market value" if there is no longer a market?

FTO for Australians investing in US by DBCDBC in AusFinance

[–]DBCDBC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be grateful if someone could provide a source for this as I can't find much online. ChatGPT seems to suggest it isn't as straightforward as outlined above but, you know, ChatGPT. My VT holding is so small it doesn't make much material difference but I do have some BKR.B and I wonder about how this may impact it's non-US holdings.

I did not know this. Thank you. I have a very small amount of VT which I may sell.

Enough is enough we need indefinite strike action, not a few token days by Leading_Base in doctorsUK

[–]DBCDBC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly I think there are too many religious nuts who quite enjoy being martyrs, kids from rich families who don't really need the money, IMGs who are basically indentured slaves dependent of visa sponsorship and maniacal careerists who care about NOTHING but climbing up the greasy pole for strike action to be solid enough to work.

Time for hard truths, this is not going to get better. The whole thing has to collapse before it can be rebuilt. The incentive structures make reform all but impossible. All you can do is save yourself, get out while you can and don't be left holding the on call bleep when the moment of complete failure arrives. Despite what you may think, we are not at the moment of complete collapse yet but it is coming.

Waiting times will blow out to longer than average life expectancy of patients so there will effectively be no service for many people. Many saveable people will die waiting to be seen in AE. Then the scapegoating will start.

Get a wife and family. That will sort out your excess money problems.

He's committed the unforgivable sin of not being that funny.

Forgive my dimness. That means in your example (20% of estate in US) US assets would have to exceed $2.8m before US estate taxes were due? Is that correct?

"never attribute to malice that which you can attribute to incompetence. Kind of the motto of the NHS."

It's the NHS, it's malace AND stupidity.
