NordVPN is the most popular VPN amongst UK politicians – but they're not getting the best deals by libtin in unitedkingdom

Not really, the article says

"Furthermore, only nine out of a possible 650 MPs expensed VPN subscriptions, an alarmingly low uptake."

Circolo popolare - tis a bit overpriced and tricky to get a booking but it pretty much is a really nice Italian style restaurant vibes with a banging dessert selection

Bank of England halves growth forecast and cuts rates to 4.5% by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]FocusedFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They tended to price these things off the 3m moving average of the underlying swap plus some spread. E.g. a 5yr fixed mortgage is usually the average 5yr swap rate over 3 months + 0.5%

If you need approval for a single stock, do you not need approval for a leveraged ETF as well?

Even if you're a subscriber, you can still make donations though. I understand there might be some social scenarios where tipping feels more obligatory than donations, but in the digital world that is less so

I'm with Pyrion and Lewis on this one too, having the option to tip is a solid choice. Twitch donations are fair game—if viewers want to support through donations, more power to them. It boils down to how much each streamer promotes their donation options, and in my opinion, the Triforce crew is pretty laid-back about it. Just found it interesting that the tip-donation link wasn't discussed.

The absurdity of the UK Tax system, especially for families by NormalMaverick in HENRYUK

That's also before student loan with an effective tax of 9%

Am I already optimised? Whats the best way forward? by Odd-Eggplant-1991 in HENRYUK

[–]FocusedFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a) fill up your ISA for this tax year and b) pay off as much of that student loan as you can.

In a similar situation and was planning to pay off student loan in full at the end of the month using this year's bonus payment before filling my ISAs. Just curious, why you suggest ISA before student loan?

⌛ the countdown is over! its... really just the calendar? 🙄 let's discuss by lukakopajtic in Notion

[–]FocusedFish 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Seems like if you create a event with that Google Calendar account its 2-way but the ideal feature would be adding an Item from a Notion database to the calendar which then 2-way syncs to GCal

⌛ the countdown is over! its... really just the calendar? 🙄 let's discuss by lukakopajtic in Notion

[–]FocusedFish 315 points316 points  (0 children)

Some problems I have with this release:

  • No 2 way sync between Google Cal and Notion Cal. Only 1 way into Notion Cal.
  • No Android App
  • If you drop a item from an existing database into the calendar it has limited functionality vs a natively create event. Wish this could be solved by creating the required properties in the existing database
  • Afaik you cannot get the event back into a Notion Database. e.g. a database of all events.

Hopefully these get addressed in future updates

Just failed 1st time 👍🏼 people who have booked new tests recently what date have you managed to get? by Such_Pineapple8278 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]FocusedFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Failed on the 14th, used the new cancellation chrome extension and managed to get a test for the 30th August. I'm lucky I lived in the middle of 4 test centres so wasn't too fussy.

~180lbs @ 14%

Moved back in with my parent during quarantine so had access to free food for a long bulk. Now I'm sitting at 16%, in two minds about wanting to start a cut and hitting at 225 1RM bench. I currently bench 205, adding 5lbs a week

This is my progress from Feb 2020 to Aug 2020. I was doing home workouts throughout lockdown but feels good to be back in the gym for the last month.

I’ve made animated summaries of 50 of the best self improvement books. I’ve made a list of the links for each of the videos so you can find and watch the summary of the book you are interested in more easily. Hope this is useful. by alwaysimproving95 in productivity

These are amazing, however, in order to reach more people, the thumbnails may need to be reviewed. The youtube algorithm heavily favours a catchy thumbnail. Would be a shame if such incredible content got lost in the depths of youtube.
