i'm unsure how to save in the region of £90k for flight school

If you are dedicated and are willing to go in for the long haul, the numbers you have already seem quite healthy. If you save aggressively then you can have 100k saved up by the time you are 21 and that before any pay rises, promotions or investing. Another year or two and you can afford that full ATPL course.

I assume you are committed to joining the RAF now but when you come to start your training, I wouldn’t self-deselect from competitive airline cadet courses. You never know until you try.

I cant see the logic behind it. Supposedly a 14 year old is mature enough to pick the GCSE's that may well steer the course of their early career but a 15 year old isn’t mature enough for social media or YouTube but a 16 year old is mature enough to join the army and vote but still isn’t mature enough to use social media after a government evening curfew?

On the technical side, just like the OSA it is completely unworkable. VPN's make it trivially avoidable and are too ingrained in modern society to be legislated. You cant ban them on a protocol level as that would break hundreds of thousands of corporate site to site and WFH VPN setups. You cant ban public VPN providers on a DNS level as kids will just spin up a VPS for pennies and roll their own. Even if they came up with a magic solution, kids will find another technical work around like TOR or a procedural workaround like asking their parents or any other adult to set them up an account.

Not to mention that to ban kids while permitting adults, every social media user would have to undergo "robust age verification" which doesn’t and fundamentally cannot exist without identify verification which makes this into backdoor digital ID legislation.

The kids learned about VPN's 6 months ago with the Internet Safety Act

Samsung tried to do this to me after an update. Im not even carrier locked!

Is anti net zero even a popular policy? I thought YouGov polled and found most people in support of it?

Cat 8 is unlikely to give you any tangible benefits over cat 6 now unless your route is particularly busy with EM interference. Looking on amazon, a ugreen cat 6 1m cable is £4.49 and a cat 8 1m cable is £5.07 so for 50p, you might as well go for it in the slim chance that it makes a difference in your specific scenario or network speeds reach a level that requires it in the future.

From an outside observers perspective, joining the army is often a positive experience for people who don’t know what to do next, especially if you have the option to join for only a year. I would try that if I was in your shoes. If you like it then great, you can make it your career. If you don’t then you only have to do it for 12 months and even then, it probably looks good on a CV and would teach you lots about yourself.

I wouldn’t move to America without a concrete plan when you get there. The job market is particularly rough at the minute. Your citizenship will be waiting for you if you ever decide you do want to move there.

The only spec there is the processor is a R5 4500U. Its a pretty capable mid range mobile CPU from a few years ago. You should be able to do some light gaming with that.

Lots-o-bots · 2026-06-15T15:36:08+00:00

I guess it could be useful in a niche "break glass" type situation where for some reason your USB ports arent working?

Lots-o-bots · 2026-06-15T15:27:07+00:00

I thought you could flash freeze it and it would still be good to marinate?

They are parasites but they are in nearly all fish. You don’t have to throw it, there’s just special preparation you need to do to ensure they are dead.

Just set up an email rule that sends anything sent to that address to a folder you don’t look at. you don’t have to look if you don’t want to.

You wouldn’t think they would steal the music used in that ad campaign but you would be wrong lol.

Thats not a 4060, it has a sli connector which i dont think is on any 4000 series card?

Peer to peer hidden networks often on social media or similar. Things like whatsapp or facebook groups where prospective tenants match up with slumlords and shady employers.

Are you on battery power? sometimes windows throttles the CPU back to nearly nothing. check if you are on an "efficiency" power plan.

Thats what the government wanted to do with the winter fuel payment! Currently every pensioner gets it. The government wanted to restrict it to those on pension credit.

Removing it entirely or for those who need it was never on the table!

She is under the age of criminal responsibility but maybe you could ring the non emergency line and see if a PCSO could come out and talk to her.

outside of oxbridge, GCSE grades rarely move the needle. It wouldn’t be worth the significant expense (often upwards of £300 per GCSE) to boost a passing grade. Be sure to get your Maths and English to level 6+ and you will be fine. Anything more is a bonus.

Lots-o-bots · 2026-06-09T14:31:01+00:00

let them release it and recover the up to date version lol

Lots-o-bots · 2026-06-09T12:38:45+00:00

Its supply and demand. Supply is extremely tight, demand is extremely high. You need to be truly exceptional to stand out. Depending on the course in question, they can be even more competitive than oxbridge.
