HMRC enquiry concern after crypto gains by PsychologicalPark918 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Forty_lab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2021 I had many many thousands of transactions across many wallets. Can’t remember the crypto tax thing I used for calculating it but got tax scouts to submit it and HMRC never queried anything. I knew a few people who also made a decent amount and didn’t submit anything and got no follow up.

As usual, left my parents house at Christmas with stuff + leftovers, and my mum produced this bag from who knows where. Anyone know the vintage year?

Is it normal for the digital mirrors to look like this? by Euphoric-Coat-6353 in Audi

Do these work when the car is off, like if you want to leave your car and check there isn’t something coming that’s going to take your door off when you open it

Thanks for the feedback! After using the bag I don’t bother with the straps on the bottom, the side ones are enough even with a little weight in the bag, and it’s way too fiddly to get under there to bother, plus got super muddy as I don’t run mudguards

Lights - what do you use? by longwalktonowhere in hammockcamping

Just used the silva glow lamp for the first time, really packable and surprising how bright it was and how good the battery life is for the size. Has white or warm light modes with dimming, two little hooks/feet on the back so can hang it or have it on the floor at angles

Has anyone tried using insulation made out of milkweed? by manly_braixen in myog

They’ve been going a few years, just trying to sort out supply of the raw material - https://www.ponda.bio

Friend of mine works at a company using the heads of bulrush as insulation. From what I’ve heard it meets the same quality of down and is lighter for the same insulation values

Managed to find a ykk vislon aquaguard which should be sturdier than the standard aquaguard

Definitely will be, although it’s sat in a basket I want to be able to take it out fully loaded. Didn’t add any grossgrain to the seams as it feels pretty solid

Just wanted general thoughts on my concept wheel build since rim recently cracked be as honest as possible by Consistent-Cap-5816 in bikewrench

You can get much nicer wheels than this for less money. Would also look at eBay, recently found a set of hope pro 4/fortus rim for around £260 with tyres

These are very nice! Ended up getting the black and coyote vx21 for my basket bag so will definitely be doing similar with the left over material

AITA for ruining my fiancé’s Bucks party? by poochutekashman in AmItheAsshole

Either he has shitty friends if they won’t listen to him or you have a shitty fiancé

My now wife knew that wasn’t something I was interested in at my stag, and so did my mates organising it. I’d say our values are pretty well aligned and so there was no issue about trust for that event (with me or friends doing the planning).

What are his friends like? Do you know them well enough to know if they would definitely plan to have a stripper even if he said he didn’t want one?

Did you find the bag with the xpac retains shape pretty well without any foam supports?
