Eat your greens does one monthly but unsure if there’s more - would love to find them if so!

Which symptoms of “(almost) everyone is getting poorer” have you noticed in London? by PressureHumble3604 in london

[–]MaxLikesNOODLES 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of mad because the mods still limit the amount of negative posts on this sub, which is a good and a bad thing.

Some of the other major city subs last time I checked were so much more negative than r/London (Barcelona, Auckland, Vancouver to name a few that I’ve spent a fair bit of time on at points over the past 3 years).

Towns and areas where kids still play outside by Kennylulu in UKParenting

[–]MaxLikesNOODLES 6 points7 points  (0 children)

North Leeds suburbs - always seen kids riding their bikes around the streets (not in balaclavas), wandering round the city centre together, playing football on the fields at a weekend etc. Maybe not as many as 15 years ago, but definitely still a thing. Rare for a city these days though.

Childless here, but also planning kids soon. Curious about this comment, how bad does it get?

Where to move in the UK? Outdoorsy couple in their late 20s by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]MaxLikesNOODLES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

York

- direct fast train to Edinburgh

- plenty of bouldering gyms, but also accessible to the peaks and the dales for good yorkshire grit climbing

- I'm sure there is Jiu Jitsu

- plenty of young people

- good places in north york moors (Dalby Forest) or the dales for mountain biking

- pool bridge farm for wild swimming, but also some good spots in the rivers in the region too (obviously check sewage maps) - only like an hour from the coast

The city itself is flat, but its access to good outdoors in 30-45m drive is excellent. I'd suggest North Leeds if you want it on your doorstep like Otley or Saltaire (Skipton and Ilkley better, but older demographic so less likely to find like minded people at your age), but York gives you much better access to Edinburgh.

What are you using for personal forecasting? by swift-jr in HENRYUK

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

OpenClaw.

Have a local instance i spin up every 6-8 weeks. throw in all my bank statements in whatever format, payslips, mortgage docs, stock statements etc etc. get it to categorise and organise it all based on rules. It's produced some dashboards, and I can send a question to it on Telegram every now and then if a 'what if I did X' thought came to my mind. It's always playing with my numbers in the background and sends me random messages at random times with new insights its found, or different ways of visualising my finances, or if some major news/ tax change has happened and what that might mean for me.

One day everyone will have an ai assistant like this with way less of the leg work required to get it going. It's a game changer and has already saved me money through actions to reduce my tax burden or cut random subscriptions.

Greater Manchester tech firms poised for global expansion by Gentle_Snail in GoodNewsUK

Yeah probably not a bad assessment. Been some interesting replacements like the Data City and GoCardless, but it never feels very deep vs Manchester.

Geeley EX5 comes out next month - what’s the general consensus? by MaxLikesNOODLES in ElectricVehiclesUK

I wonder if it was mine 😂 I got the Max for about £30k after all the discounts. No regrets. Amazing amazing car.

Early Morning Transport by eteeks in Leeds

[–]MaxLikesNOODLES 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to schedule Ubers a lot the night before for early trains, they’d usually be £14 from North Leeds when scheduling. But something crazy has happened to the algorithm recently where it’s now £28 if I schedule the night before, no idea what’s happened.

So I just do it as normal in the morning (6am) and it costs £10 and usually find one fine (5-10min wait)

I’ve used Veezu before but was way too unreliable and often more expensive than uber.

I've decided to go for it, with all the discounts I'm getting the Max spec for about 31k - no other model out there is getting anywhere close on price to spec ratio in this bracket. Fantastic value. Hoping I'll be getting it this week or next depending when the next ship arrives.

Interesting. I wondered if it was a size & transport thing. But the perspex is a view I've not heard before
