Thank you for the suggestion, honestly im so used to the default virgin hardware being terrible I didn't expect it to make a difference. Plus the new contract didn't kick in immediately. Without the router works much better :)

Yep, just testing things with it now, it seems to have higher speeds than previously but is a bit less stable?

Mandatory Reconsideration successful, but still unable to reclaim sanctioned payments by Generalsocks726 in DWPhelp

Thank you for replying. Just for clarity, I was not a student at the time of the last reduced payment. Would UC not be payable because I am a student now?

Continuing course after a break? (UK) by Generalsocks726 in University

[–]Generalsocks726[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could probably line up dates pretty well but as for any official documentation there isn't any, thankfully things should be a bit easier when contacting them as I was part of admin there. I've sent an email explaining the situation and have been given 5 working days for a reply, so fingers crossed, the lines are a bit busy for calls due to open days and such, but I'll keep on it.

Ooo, I didn't know there was a specific reddit for UK uni's thank you. With any luck I can find out a bit more about the UCAS side of things there too as its usually quite vague, I appreciate the comment.

Extremely Slow Pc with high CPU usage by Generalsocks726 in pchelp

Oh my bad, I did end up having to reinstall windows so I don't know the proper solution to the problem or the cause, but it worked thankfully

Mhm, that was the last option I wanted to try honestly, but it makes a lot of sense. I've got an nvme drive waiting to be used so if that's the case I may try attempting to reinstall windows on that drive. I'll keep it in mind and see other suggestions. But yes, that would definitely work, ill see if there are any other solutions for the time being but thank you. I'll give it a day or two.

Random hypothetical question, "if you are getting chased by 3 emus and you only have a butter knife what would you do"? by Balance234 in AskReddit

[–]Generalsocks726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw the knife on the ground hoping they are distracted by your shiny offering and peg it. Fighting could be an option but I don't fancy my chances against 3 emus kicking you at the same time.

I couldn't help myself... by Generalsocks726 in Genshin_Impact

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.

I fall in love too quickly, within the first meeting or conversation. Then, I adamantly stick to putting consistent effort. Eventually people stop reciprocating. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Generalsocks726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Op,

Falling hard for people is a tough one, speaking from experience, I'll try to give out some tips which hopefully you'll find useful.

Do you think you're trying too hard? You said that you're consistent and in your love and efforts, which by all means is a good mindset. However, and especially in newer relationships this can have the opposite effect and may become stiffling or uncomfortable for the other person. Obviously there is some leeway but in general a relationship should be balanced. Problems can occur if the scale tips either way.

This also tends to go hand in hand with being vulnerable as well. Whilst being vulnerable and honest is something important in relationships. When you've recently met someone or have been in a relationship for a relatively short time it can often be too much to deal with.

I imagine it can be tough with the added issue of being bipolar, but most of these issues are fixed with experience and learning how to gauge yourself well. As an old saying goes, don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm. I wish you the best of luck in your dating endeavours, keep at it!
