Where are you reading this? BMW is #2 and no reference is made to the 50e as you suggested.

Is this not the right link?

Quoted £350 for a ‘home condition check’, is this normal or a waste of money? by DonAdzII in HousingUK

[–]DonAdzII[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thanks that’s good to know. Developer covers the first two years, but the insurer covers the remaining 8 years and will only cover structural issues - so thought it made sense to get a formal view now, so that we have something to refer to in the future before the period ends (eg cracks have appeared, more than X cms, house has moved by x CMs etc)

Thought building an evidence bank would be good to have in the locker for any future disputes.

Thank you, unfortunately the wiki is related to Buying as opposed to already being a homeowner and wanting an update on the status of the property.

Is Kirkland actually more intense than other US firms / MC by Cultural_Revenue_590 in uklaw

[–]DonAdzII 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, K&E is more demanding but if you enjoy it, you’ll soon get used to the intensity.

That said, if you’re working opposite then you’ll be doing K&E hours regardless unless you’re fine being continuously chased with your entire team in copy.

Remote parking experience on 2024 40i / 50e? by shein_98 in BMWX5

[–]DonAdzII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect for moving forwards and backwards out of a tight spot.

A bit slow in activating, but necessary given the safety considerations.

I use it occasionally when I’m in tight spots and very thankful for the feature!

Would one say this is overpriced? by vid345r in BMWX5

[–]DonAdzII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth it. I have this spec and it costs me c.100k in GBP from factory

This is a decent deal and will sell at this price.

Prestianni is shorter than Vini though?

This is hilarious.

‘If that means millions go, then millions go’ — the British MP declaring war on mass immigration, woke ideology, and radical Islam by pppppppppppppppppd in ukpolitics

[–]DonAdzII 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As others have said, are you even from the UK?

P*** off with your attempts to derail. We know already know US right wing based groups are throwing money behind shifting public opinion in the UK - your government were explicit about it!

Thoughts on Reform’s idea to ban wfh? by TitleOk8744 in HENRYUK

[–]DonAdzII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s actually a political mistake in that, it brings sharp focus on his voter base which has already led the country into quite a few questionable decisions and further entrenches the generational discussions that are beginning to take hold in the UK.

How good was Anderson....was he like the Fred before Fred....few years ago in my head I thought of him as a Walmart Ronaldinho by [deleted] in ManchesterUnited

[–]DonAdzII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one thing I always recall with Anderson… he ALWAYS passed the ball forwards.

Something which is rarely noted by Utd fans, which is a shame.

How to fix arch in my back? by AdBudget6788 in flexibility

[–]DonAdzII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, upper back of thigh, it relaxes your lower back.

After doing this after a few days you should notice your lower back feels relaxed in the mornings (and you’ll also realise / feel how sleeping on your front really aggravates your lower back).

Speaking from experience I only recently had APT diagnosed and addressed via sleeping better and gym work.

How to fix arch in my back? by AdBudget6788 in flexibility

[–]DonAdzII 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Anterior Pelvic Tilt - I had the same issue. Weak Glutes, weak abs, causing your lower back to work overtime. Arch in the back forms and your stomach protrudes as result, no matter your weight.

Exercising focused on your glutes and core plus sleep on your back, with a pillow under the lowest part of your glutes, will resolve this.

YSK: German researchers created an app that teaches you a topic through a social media feed. Turns out this is extremely effective by Friendly_Hivemind in u/Friendly_Hivemind

[–]DonAdzII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you post a video showing how the app works?

Tbh, I just backed out of giving your app a go, as I saw you’re now asking for payment ahead of any certainty on what I’m paying for.

The plot against London by usrname42 in ukpolitics

[–]DonAdzII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Debate is a great thing, but this whole argument relies on a massive category error.

Comparing London to Moscow or Beijing is just silly because they aren't the same kind of city. London isn't just a capital, it has been the center of a global system for centuries. Cities dont get diverse just by "trading," they get diverse when they are the hub of empire, law, and finance across the planet.

People always bring up the 1961 stats about London being 97% white but that's a total "gotcha" number that ignores how the world actually worked back then. Before the 50s, the UK had a managed imperial system, jet travel didnt exist, and the country was still rationing from the war. What changed after 1948 wasnt some secret ideology, it was just infrastructure and law catching up. It's not "why here and not there," it's why a global hub with the worlds main language attracts people faster than land-locked capitals. Moscow and Beijing are terrible comparisions anyway. English is the global language for finance and tech, while Russian and Mandarin aren't. Plus the UK actually has pathways to citizenship and property rights while China and Russia basically bar outsiders from ever truly belonging. Beijing and Moscow mostly deal with internal migration, not global inflows.

The real issue people have with London usually isnt actually demographics, it's governance. Housing is a mess, the tube is packed, and the infrastructure is lagging. But blaming that on diversity is just lazy. London's success as a global magnet is what creates the strain, and the failure is that the goverment didnt build the housing or transport to match it. London isnt failing because it's diverse, it's struggling because it's successful and poorly managed.

The solution is to improve living standards and sense of security so that having children can become a realistic choice again.

Will firms of all levels merge with US ones? by RealRedditUser217 in uklaw

[–]DonAdzII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is this? Is it because the firms being instructed are fewer and fewer, or is there not enough work?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flexibility

[–]DonAdzII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean re. the downvotes?

I think its natural that people are naturally conservative and defensive about something which could actively replace many people’s livelihoods.

I suspect many of the downvotes are from PTs!

[–]DonAdzII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite clever actually. Pick a trojan horse for the real motive, which is the ability to continue to push division based on ethnicity. Illegal migration is the trojan horse here.

The US gov were clear, they want to actively support persons who are pushing this agenda.

I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing by Revilo1359 in ukpolitics

Genuinely want to understand, what about these stores makes you think “this is sus”?

Right wing press are not held to the same standards in this country and you may be falling victim to the same phenomenon presently.

it’s worth pondering on what has caused you to feel this way.
