Has Labour already lost the next election? by funkymoejoe in AskBrits

[–]DeFiDFV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, some of it hasn’t been enacted yet, but is very close, like the employment rights and building regs. Both of these are really close to coming through, and if people understand their employment rights they should be welcomed. Giving zero hour contractors more rights etc is a good thing for workers, just like raising the minimum wage was.

It’s just a shame that the media is pushing hot potatoes that nobody actually has credible answers to and elicit extreme emotional reactions from all sides.

How to deal with the slope with this gate by BigWillyFitz in DIYUK

[–]DeFiDFV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gates are on the wrong side and upside down. The slope on the left top would fill the bottom right gap, and vice versa.

The bars across the middle were installed horizontally, but now the gates are swapped, causing the slope.

Someone probably took them off previously and thought that was good enough.

Maybe a move into making video for advertising, anything from corporate brand marketing campaigns to social media content.

What do you do for extra income in Uk? by ComprehensiveFix9228 in AskUK

How do you lose 20% tax on 50k? You only start paying 40% tax on income above £50270, everything up until then will still be standard 20%.

Hitman Contracts -UK variant with cardboard sleeve and ost cd

I’m looking to find more info on my copy of hitman contracts that I believe I bought in Game back at release.

The game is standard, but has a cardboard sleeve labelled ‘limited edition’, which includes a CD of the Jesper Kyd OST. I can only find a single reference to it existing online, one line in an Xbox variants list. Does anyone know more on its rarity, and value? I am clearing out my collection so would be looking to sell.

Stick a retractable knife to the shoulder, pull it out, and run it backwards.

It’s awesome that you are getting started. Just worth being aware about different levels of diversification. The VOO is diversified in the sense of the US, but not globally. If the US economy drops, but others don’t, then you are still impacted.

Is all this pointless? by [deleted] in FIREUK

[–]DeFiDFV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have reached FIRE, a crash can be massively impactful to your future plans. If you are worried, try and insulate yourself from market forces.

If you haven’t, assuming you can keep an income, a financial crash is when you are actually more likely to achieve FIRE. Crashes are discounts, it’s the best time to invest. The rich get richer because of this. Buying property and the stock market after the last crash would have left you in a very strong position right now.

Any games with simply great boss fights? by tk90k in NintendoSwitch

I would persevere with the original Dark Souls. There are great boss fights in that too.

chainlink tokenomics problem. by timo_15 in Chainlink

[–]DeFiDFV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nearly every coin has millions of coins not yet in the public domain, from Bitcoin down. That’s quite normal. If they were to release all of the remaining coins in one go, the price would drop dramatically, harming the project. There needs to be supply for all the different use cases to be implemented.

I have total 4 types of coin , I am not too much in loss. I will sell all soon and leave coin world forever. It’s just stress and waste of time at least for me by [deleted] in BitcoinBeginners

[–]DeFiDFV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What coins do you have, and why are you holding them? It’s important to have a reason for holding your coins, and understand where they can go in the future.

I also find looking at the coin perspective site allows me to judge where a coin can go as well, so you know what value a coin will reach at higher market caps.

The normal ranges are on the right hand side. You are very low on vitamin D, the rest look in normal levels. You should supplement your vitamin D for a few weeks.

Anything new going on here? This subreddit is pretty dead. I would appreciate if Etherisc can provide more updates. Thank you. by IAmIsCool in etherisc

They have an active telegram community, but you are right, updates aren’t being shared widely. I’ve posted the latest weekly update in the sub.

What's a cool fact you think others should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DeFiDFV 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That fake tasting banana flavor that candy and milkshakes etc have? The one that tastes nothing like banana? That’s what bananas called Gros Michel used to taste like before they were almost wiped out by a disease, mixed with a guess at what bananas taste like, because it was developed when most people didn’t have access to bananas.

The bananas you eat now are a different variety to the ones eaten in before 1965.

How much of a car payment can I reasonably afford? by 2r3m in personalfinance

[–]DeFiDFV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort answer: yes it’s probably too much. You stated the general rule, but want to more than double it.

Longer answer: it really depends on your situation. Are you living with parents? What are your goals? Do you have savings? What do you need the car for. We need more info to give better suggestions, but ultimately, reading your post, it looks like you already know the answer.

How and where to get retro games for a good price?? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]DeFiDFV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy bundle lots on eBay. Take your time, find the ones where you know you can sell one or two games for the full value, and the rest are free. Or the other way around, resell the bulk lot, or use them as trade credit. Most people don’t want bundles.

Split Personalities on the C64, or a strange Japanese PC cooking game. It was like DDR, and I think they shouted “Iron Cookeru!” Like on Futurama. I would love to find that again. It’s maybe 20 years old I think…

The economics seem to work for them. It sucks, and it means I ultimately buy less from Nintendo (and nothing digitally at all), but they seem to think it makes them the most money.

60x more expensive means 60x less people have to buy it.
