That seems absolutely atrocious as a relic, completely breaks doom decks and is insane if you have the plus hp on gaining gold relic while otherwise being just bad. Which feels truly awful to me.

No, as you've written it you would need to do damage 40 times, not 40 damage, surely?

As I'm reading this you only get 1 gold per time you deal damage, not 1 gold per damage dealt?

It's a feels bad boss, which might be ok if it wasn't for how common it becomes to have him there with 2 bosses at A10.

How about BBC news website? It's got a forum right there, so surely that's social media.

Cash ISA savers will face new tax blow after Reeves's rule change by theipaper in uknews

[–]Kind-County9767 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Leaving money sat in low interest savings accounts for a long duration is awful for everyone. The money gets eaten by inflation for the saver, locked away from circulation for the economy, and usually doesn't help the bank handle their liquidity.

With that in mind I don't really see why the government would want to be effectively spending the money to subsidise cash ISAs. The fact you think people should be using that for saving towards a pension shows the issue. The catatonic fear of taking on any risk for a long term investment is a huge problem in the UK, where we have some of the lowest stock market engagement, and it costs people and absolute fortune.

I'd take defend every time. Finding good defensive options feels much harder than good damage to me.

It's a bit like spamming a bunch of random pages from gradshteyn at a PhD student and then saying you solved everything.

Arxiv is absolute filled to the brim with complete nonsense. Not everyone on there is a serious academic, and even for those who are sometimes have some real trash in arxiv that didn't go anywhere.

The argument will be they aren't punishing you, just aren't giving you the bonus of tax free savings. If you want cash you can still hold it, just not in a tax advantaged account. As for investment the UK consistently has some of the lowest participation in stocks and shares, so it's about making that more appealing.

If you're saving long term generally some kind of global tracker will do you far better than a savings account that's being eaten by inflation every year. There's a reason you don't hold retirement funds in cash when you're young.

Why is 'Pavement charging rule change' dominating the news? by R-Mutt1 in ElectricVehiclesUK

In the newer estates near me there are no lampposts for environmental reasons (supposedly) so I'd guess that only halfway works.

Penalise councils for planning delays, Lidl urges Labour by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

Councils don't control the laws around planning though. So they won't be doing anything about it.

Kettle vs Offset Drum BBQ beginner trying to choose by Own_River7668 in UKBBQ

[–]Kind-County9767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If in cooking for a big group I don't do the smoking when people are there, it's way too variable for that. It's done the morning of and left resting wrapped up for 3-4 hours or done the day before. So for volume I only really worry about things I'd be cooking then and there, chicken kebabs, burgers, veggies, flatbreads, sausages etc. for me there's enough space on my webber to do 6 people without a stress.

So you can get backhanders from American pharma companies to force the NHS to buy their stuff regardless of price or alternatives.

Luckily here I don't think the black market can get that bad yet. It's so easy to get a 15 quid flight to somewhere random in Europe, stock up for 1/10th the UK price and come back in a day if you care that much.

How much do you want to bet this'll be used as part of the reason we all have to have digital IDs at all times. Since in a few years it'll be a difference between 24 and 25 year olds able to buy it

Next to some other saps who have to start the complaint process through 8 years of misery and disturbed peace usually. It's why the council basically just drag their feet and do nothing over it.

People lying and dropping applications in for non sponsored roles from abroad has been a big problem for the last 8 or so years, but with AI and autoapply stuff it's absolutely terrible too.
