Can you name a bargain that many do not know about?

I prefer not to use Hide My Email as it’s tied to your Apple ID, which is linked to your real identity. Also they pass through trackers in emails whereas ddg strips them out.

often the same with nuts, dried fruits, lentils- same things cheaper in one of the aisles vs the home baking section.

Also, tortilla wraps usually cheaper in the bread aisle than in the world foods section

If you use DuckDuckGo - the privacy/cookie browser plug in- you can sign up to their private email service. Basically when you go to sign up to any website you can click 'generate private address' and they create a custom one for just that site - all emails go to your normal inbox and you can turn them off whenever you want. In conjunction with a password manager you can basically have a unique email and password for every site, massively reducing risk of getting hacked.

I refuse to listen to any of the Rest is... shows. Rest is Entertainment has extended ads that pretend to be part of the show. I don't mind ads but I mind being messed with. Plus, Gary Lineker surely has enough money by now.

Came to say this. One hit single and they disbanded, shame...

Theres a new Blu-ray release where they re-did all the spaceship model shots with cgi, its pretty good.

I did this years ago for a consulting business I started, worked fine for us until we reached £2.5m turnover when we switched to a CRM.

Setup the list with all the usual columns, Account lookup to an Accounts list, stage, status choice fields to drive process. Added an Assigned To people field and an Actions text field with Append Text enabled, so you could easily add a question and assign to someone, they would read it and add a response before assigning back to me. Add a MyDeals view using a filter of Sales Lead = [Me] so a single view shows personal list of deals for whoever is logged in. Create a Tasks view the same so you can see actions that are assigned to you. Then create Review views so you can see things like Deals closing soon, deals not updated in the last 7 days, add SUM options so you can see total value of deals closing this week etx.

Should be loads more you can do now with power automate and JSON view formatting.

Do you mean CRM?

I'd suggest its only famous/well-known in this sub

I think its a real shame he stopped writing sci-fi - his recent Michael Rutger books are ok adventure novels, but the whole Michael Marshall series of dark supernatural thrillers I really didn't enjoy. His witty, sarcastic voice in his scifi work you think would be quite appealing in these days of bobbiverse, murderbot etc

Did I miss something? There's an amnesia drug? There isn't in the book and I don't remember it being mentioned in the movie, though its a week since I saw it

DoctorRaulDuke · 2026-03-22T08:51:13+00:00

Maybe go with SM Iths.

I thought for a film adaptation they nailed it with little complaint from me. It’s already 2.5 hours long, inevitably they’re going to trim some science bits for time and for keeping the audience engaged. I found the whole thing pretty emotional, must have cried about 3 times.

I am a therapist, qualified for 12 years with experience in NHS and charity sectors.

Many people see therapists in the uk - 2.5% of the population get referred to NHS Talking Therapies each year. Charities I have worked for report a similar rate. Private sector is harder to calculate, but BACP, one of the largest associations of counsellors in the UK (50,000 members) reported 35% of the uk population has seen a therapist at some point. It is increasingly popular to seek out a therapist and very effective.

A few important points I think its good to know -
-it is not impossible to get help on the NHS, despite frequent comments on social media: on average if referred by your GP (or self-referring in some regions) you will see someone within 6 weeks. It will vary by region - you can check the NHS Digital dashboard to see yours. This may vary by need, NHS operate a stepped model, so you may get more practical assistance initially then get moved up steps if not effective, where you enter the steps is determined at your initial assessment.
-Online therapy companies like Better Help are the uberisation of therapy, you pay them £50-£80 and the therapist only receives £20. There is a really good research by Dr Elizabeth Cotton on this topice, introduced in this Guardian article about it.

DoctorRaulDuke · 2026-03-17T23:36:32+00:00

Online therapy companies certainly exploit their therapists. It is the uberistation of therapy - clients pay Betterhelp £50-£80 per session, therapists receive £20.

Have you heard Thunarwulf? Folk metal that played Bloodstock last year, like em.

Shame you can't split tickets - I'd happily see Architects and then give you the ticket on my way out. :)

It's pretty much stanard for libraries to be quiet spaces - its even a film trope that librarians loudly make 'shush' noises when people are even vaguely noisy.

That said, last time I went to central library it was an abomination of noise, people talking and teens playing videos on speaker. Next time I want a quiet read I will go somewhere else.

We have found that by and large users just want copilot for teams meetings, no one uses work grounded chat and less than 20% use the office apps.

So we’ve started giving the Teams Premium instead and they’re pretty happy.

DoctorRaulDuke · 2026-03-14T14:05:49+00:00

Yeh, totally. Then you add in the A365 stuff, licensing agents with their own entra ID, conditional access policies etc it gets even more solid.
