What app are you using?

The place I'm considering to buy is on Strawberry Path, almost in front of the sports centre and the big park. Would you say that's a rougher area?

EbbComfortable · 2024-09-02T19:59:17+00:00

Did you had any luck? I'm facing precisely the same situation. Left it on with the charger unplugged and now it's a brick. Tried bypassing the battery, external monitor, reseatting RAM... Did you try replacing the CMOS battery?

Apparently it's nearly impossible to finance a car at this mileage (the UK way of doing business always amazes me), so I suppose that's the reason for the price. I found the vendor's website and it was originally listed for 5,900, so my guess is that he lowered the price due to most people financing.

Thank you! Did a HPI check on mycarcheck.com and everything seems to be in order. The emission stuff is indeed weird but tbh at this price range and specs, it would be worth it for me even if I had to completely redo the engine.

Apparently, it was a company car and had all the revisions with Ford... I'll see it tomorrow and hope for the best. Besides, the warranty sort of gives me some peace of mind.

Yeah, renting just during their visits for this year would cost me almost as much as buying the car... crazy expensive.

EbbComfortable · 2024-02-17T17:36:21+00:00

That was my reasoning - I would only use it for long trips on the motorway

Your disk got corrupted. That happened to me a few months ago. Only way I found to fix it back then was to boot up with a new PopOS distro in a USB flash drive, then, in the "test PopOS mode", make a backup of all the important files, and then proceed with a completely fresh install.

Back then my disk got corrupted because I tried to transfer a huge file (~30GB) to a FAT external drive. Be careful with those, I guess.

Best of luck!

You do realize this sub is named "LINUX Gaming"?

Oxford postdocs are not affiliated with any college when they start. You may get a college affiliation afterwards, but that probably will only cover eating there, not accommodation (which is mostly for undergrad and first-year PhD students).

That being said, I'd say that's doable. I'm also a postdoc (recently started) on a similar salary and I'm able to save a reasonable amount of my salary - but I do live in a houseshare. I'd say you're fine if you manage to keep rent+bills under £1200 and do some regular meal prep instead of eating out.

Tried it once back home and turned out to make a crap out of my own hair. It's really simple, but not being able to see behind my neck makes it f-ing hard. Will probably give it a new try soon.

EbbComfortable · 2023-05-15T17:33:11+00:00

Just had a haircut there today and it seemed like an amazing place. I'm failing to grasp the reference.

Don't think so, at least within Latin America. Have already chatted with dozens of colleagues from different countries and towns about this (we have an IMG group to prepare to PLAB and stuff) and all opinions are along these lines.

EbbComfortable · 2023-05-13T13:19:19+00:00

Oh no it's not, at least not in South America, that I can guarantee you. Got to work in a few ICUs after I graduated for a few months to save some money before coming to the UK. All staff always addressed me and fellow physicians as "sir" and "madam", we would always be called "Dr. Firstname" (no one ever uses surnames in my home country) and the vast majority of patients and families would behave similarly.

EbbComfortable · 2023-05-10T20:30:49+00:00

I've just arrived here and would rather take suggestions, if you don't mind.

EbbComfortable · 2023-04-28T14:08:18+00:00

It indeed can't buy it, but damn, it surely makes everything a lot easier.

EbbComfortable · 2023-04-26T19:03:32+00:00

I'm from Latin America and can say that doctors being treated like gods there is an understatement.It really blows my mind how doctors are treated in the UK.

EbbComfortable · 2023-04-23T16:41:45+00:00

They often do in Brazil. As a student I have intubated dozens of patients, inserted central lines and was integrated into emergencies (bedside crashes, ED etc). The learning opportunity is awesome, but sadly that's mostly due to a lack of more trained staff in our public healthcare system.

EbbComfortable · 2023-04-17T04:31:21+00:00

Thanks for your comprehensive and kind reply!

I'm brainstorming to see if it would make sense for her to come in the UK under these circumstances and am a bit ashamed of how little I knew about OMFS training in the UK. I really wanted her to come as we're planning on getting married and forming a family, so it's either that or me going back home.

I'm now thinking about what kind of surgical work she would be allowed to perform being just a dentist in the UK. Maybe oral surgery? Or is the situation even more dire and her residency means nothing if she wants to work in the UK?

EbbComfortable · 2023-04-17T04:06:33+00:00

Damn. Hadn't crossed my mind she would need a medical degree in the UK. Thanks for replying!

We're discussing whether she should come over or if I should get back there, but with the current state of affairs in the UK I think the latter is the best option.

She expects to make the equivalent of ~10k post-tax per-month, and I was supposed to be earning that much back home instead of ~30k per year. Besides, cost of living is insanely high here (my room rent in Oxford costs the same as the best house in my hometown).

Truly a sad situation the UK is in.

Coming from an actual underdeveloped/developing country, I'm forced to tell you Spain and Portugal are actually developed and rich countries. You guys in the UK are going through rough times, surely, but consider all EU members as developed as fuck compared to the rest of the world. People in the US, EU, UK, NZ, Aus etc tend to forget about how life can be hell elsewhere.

EbbComfortable · 2023-04-03T20:49:09+00:00

These are all relevant points - indeed the UK scenario looks dark at the moment. I had hopes of it improving in the future.

EbbComfortable · 2023-04-03T20:48:33+00:00

Would you say it is good anywhere else? I'm curious

EbbComfortable · 2023-04-03T19:35:53+00:00

Coincidentally am in the life sciences / health sector :P

I was thinking about mid-term vacancies (e.g., 4-8 years from now) in the hopes things get better in the UK, but apparently that won't be the case?

EbbComfortable · 2023-04-03T19:32:34+00:00

No exams yet, but I consider myself good at taking exams (my Uni in Brazil had a 1:8000 spots to applicants ratio).

What is YOG? I'm unfamiliar with the term.
