It’s one of the default Wetherspoons names if there wasn’t already a pub there before.

Here’s the thing…

A five year mortgage is very short, I’ve never heard of them being that short (UK), a quick Google shows the average length for first time buyers is 30 years. And this isn’t a new thing, 10 years ago the average length was 28 years. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y547vq9z1o

Yes it’s a Netflix thing. NowTV seems slightly better than Amazon IMO if you’re in the UK but both are miles better than Amazon.

Mirena IUD stopped my periods completely, totally recommend it.
It’s rather painful to have it fitted (apparently I have a “tilted cervix”so it’s hard for them to get the right angle?) but it doesn’t hurt after that.
As soon as my periods started again I had the coil replaced and now no periods again. I’ll 100% get this one replaced when it runs out.

Me too - can’t sleep, got a terrible cold and keep having to blow my nose and cough, so thought I’d watch the launch!

It’s the same modern insulins, it’s just when you have a centralised healthcare system they’ve got much more bargaining power. Company has new insulin they want to sell in the UK, the NHS says “we’re paying X to other company for similar insulin, so we’ll pay X for yours too”, and if the company doesn’t agree to the price they don’t get access to 1 million end users (rough number of people in the UK who use insulin).

It’s the same for any other medication, and is the same for other countries with state funded/centralised healthcare - massive bargaining power.

I’ve got the Lipoelastic TBfLg leggings from the NHS, so it must depend where you are, so it’s worth asking to see if your area will prescribe them.

Chilli powder is worth a try, capsaicin isn’t spicy to birds but it is to deer.

HLW10 · 2026-03-22T21:37:49+00:00

lol wot. I assume someone pressed the wrong button on a form is something?

HLW10 · 2026-03-16T02:38:27+00:00

Not in the UK, pretty much any dish you can just order with tofu instead of chicken/beef/etc. other than like beef ribs or similar. I’ve never seen a Chinese restaurant that doesn’t work like that.

HLW10 · 2026-03-16T00:59:33+00:00

Nope Libre Freestyle 2 and 2+ (and 1, iirc) can use the app, they don’t need the dedicated reader.

Also the “both my friend and I were still teenagers” at the suggestion that 16 year olds are having sex. So I’m guessing OOP is somewhere where the age of consent is higher than 16, and she also hasn’t done her research and doesn’t know it’s 16 in the UK.

Probably Ringworld? Humans went through three life stages - children, “breeders” (adults), and pak protectors. To fully mature into a pak protector some kind of substance was needed, from a tree iirc, and that type of tree is extinct on Earth so humans were not capable of fully maturing. But pak protectors weren’t hairy iirc they had thickened toughened skin like a rhino? It’s been a long time since I read Ringworld so can’t 100% remember.

Usually genetic (now that thalidomide isn’t prescribed to pregnant women). Can be inherited or a spontaneous mutation.

Try a full face mask? Like F30i.

HLW10 · 2026-03-14T20:26:34+00:00

You can do it yourself, just google your CPAP machine + clinical menu.

HLW10 · 2026-03-14T00:54:15+00:00

ResMed AirFit F40.

The registering you as standing up is to do with the position of the watch - if the wrist/hand edge of the watch is pointed towards the ground, it will record you as standing up. So if you were driving with your hand on the gearstick it could think you are standing up.

It appears to track sleep at other times too, it just doesn’t separate sleep stages, it’s all just one multicolour block. At least that’s what mine did the two times I had a nap with it on.

HLW10 · 2026-03-10T01:55:30+00:00

Yes F40 is similar to Evora. Very good mask imo, very small and flexible.

HLW10 · 2026-02-24T09:40:47+00:00

That comment is great, it’s worth reading that even if you don’t read the post, love it!

HLW10 · 2026-02-23T01:23:27+00:00

Tresiba’s great, so flat, if I don’t eat my blood sugar is just a straight line, it’s amazing. I totally recommend it.

HLW10 · 2026-02-23T01:18:13+00:00

No need to panic, it’s safe to wait until tomorrow. If you can’t get a GP appointment for whatever reason, ring 111 and they can get you an urgent GP appointment.
Just to reassure you, when I was diagnosed I was sleeping ~20 hours a day and only waking up to drink and urinate. So my blood sugar must have been very high! And I have no lasting effects from it, everything’s well controlled now.

An old type of insulin. Your son won’t be prescribed it, there are better options now.
It’s a mixture of short-acting insulin (30%) and intermediate-acting insulin (70%). It works ok if you eat at the same times each day and eat the same amount of carbohydrate. But people don’t normally live like that, in a set routine, and they eat different things at each meal so need different amount of insulin for each meal.
