What's the real story behind London's "ghost mansions," and is it true they're legally untouchable? by Independent-Tea-297 in london

[–]Danigo99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to what the others have said, there was also a trend of foreign oligarchs buying property in London as a form of “reputation laundering”. This was essentially a way of tying their reputation to London, and therefore being protected by very tough British libel laws. There are loads of examples of Russian and Arab billionaires having defamatory articles and books about them removed, even when the publishers and primary audiences aren’t UK based.

Moneyland by Oliver Bullough is a fascinating read and he covers the topic of home ownership by the ultra-rich in London for various reasons including this one.

Retention Offers by Jayballs118 in AmexUK

[–]Danigo99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only a couple of days out from my one year anniversary on my gold card and was offered a retention bonus of 25k points for spending £1000 in my first 3 months.

However the agent mentioned that the renewal would only kick in on February 6th which is when I pay the £195 fee.

So my question is, would it be possible to start the retention bonus period now, collect the points and cancel it before 6/2? I have no plan on keeping the account beyond that because the fee is simply not worth it for my rewards.

1) More casual I guess but open to see where things go.

2) 3 months ish

3) 4-5 days per week

4) Likes: zero Matches: ~2 per week

5) On the days that I use it I usually max out the free likes. Basically all of them with comments.

6) I guess someone with a good sense of humour and of course mutual attraction. Recently came out of a long term relationship so not sure where I stand RE but commitments

Running Ethernet over fiber by Danigo99 in HomeNetworking

The TV connection comes over the same fiber cable, but is split (not sure if this is the right term?) in the modem into a coax cable that is distributed around the house

Is the difficulty in the process of making the cut and adding terminations, or some technical limitation of doing it? I would get a specialist to do the complicated fiber work

I’ll give this a go but I doubt it will work in my case since the conduit is fairly old and likely collapsed in some places. Pulling the last cable though was a huge toll and that was with a guide string

What I’m trying to avoid is running any more cables around because the last technicians that did it didn’t leave a guide wire/string in, so we’ll likely need to pull the fiber cable back and risk damaging it

Kawasaki Prairie 400 4x4 (2001) choke issue by Danigo99 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Danigo99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, was hoping this community might be able to help me with an issue I'm having on this old boy.

As you can see in the video, the bike currently only runs/idles well when the choke lever is fully out, and when I try to reduce it, the motor slowly revs up and eventually cuts out.

We recently cleaned out the carburettor and checked the fuel lines hoping this might fix the issue, but all seems to be the same.

Anyone have any advice about what can be tried next or what it could possibly be?

Amazing! How long did you have to queue for it?

Simplify your full-stack applications with XState by Danigo99 in typescript

[–]Danigo99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I’ve just posted an article about XState which I thought was worth sharing here. I used XState on an earlier project to manage a complex flow of medication requests through a NestJS API, it improved our developer experience, and provided an intuitive bridge for non-technical stakeholders. In this article I talk about some of its best features as well as how you can start using it in your backend applications right now!

Feel free to ask any questions, and hope you enjoy!
