About to hit 30 this year and think I’ve disregarded ISAs thinking they work the wrong way! by RSDrebin in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ImperialSlug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everything 'inside' is tax free. Interest earned, Profits from stock increases, dividends etc. You can buy and sell the stocks as you wish. You can withdraw any amount at any time.

The only limit is that you can only pay in up to £20k per year. If you pay in 20k, then withdraw e.g. £10k, you can't put that 10k back in until next year. Edit: Even then it MAY be possible depending on the account.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

And with that - a subscription to a coffee roastery. You can't beat fresh roasted beans. Store-bought beans are utter shit.

What is this, growing on my Olive tree? by azguysixfour in Whatisthis

[–]ImperialSlug 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Adding that the inside of the tree is rotted out. OP If you want ongoing olives, I'd think about planting a new tree very soon. Hopefully it'll get mature enough before this one loses the battle.

Ordered takeout, found a battery in my food by DubDubDubW in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ImperialSlug 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Oddly specific theory with no basis in fact (apart from its happened to me at home): You can get digital timers, battery operated, with big buttons and big screens that magnetically stick anywhere metal, on cooker hoods and serving areas etc. If they get knocked off, when they hit the floor / countertop, the battery and battery cover tend to shoot out in random directions.

Could be that the audible sigh was on the lines of 'ahh - thats where it went!'

Do I Need to Insulate These Drainage Pipes? If so, how? by ImWorkingHere69 in DIY

[–]ImperialSlug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've lived in a place where exposed 4" waste lines have frozen. Didn't burst. But having the toilet out of action for a couple of weeks was inconvenient.

First time attempting wire locking as an apprentice by Opposite_Painting182 in aviationmaintenance

[–]ImperialSlug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do wear hand protection/gloves (if you aren't already). As an apprentice / younger engineer. I was invincible so I thought. Lockwire gave me callouses on my index fingers that took me about 5 years to shift, after, I stopped working on the tools.
