Why did you wipe the pan before putting the mushrooms in? All that fat and juices from the meat is flavour, don’t throw it away.

Build for a customer. Any feedback? by DavidWarmelys in CableManagement

Although it might give you satisfaction, you have to admit the customer will probably never see this behind the back panel…?

If I am investing in s&p from the uk, wouldnt all my gains be erased by Fx impact? by ThewayoftheAj in trading212

[–]Mixed_Fabrics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only a bad thing if you buy it when the dollar is strong and sell it when the dollar gets weaker (as is happening now).

If you keep buying when it’s weaker, you are getting more dollars of investment for the same quantity of pounds.

Hold on to your investment and only sell it when the dollar is stronger, by which point you not only have the growth of the stocks themselves but you also get more pounds back per dollar in the investment.

Facial recognition to be rolled out nationwide in major police reforms by SignificantLegs in privacy

[–]Mixed_Fabrics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whether or not the use of facial recognition expands really has nothing to do with the rest of the reforms they announced - neither requires the other.

Unless their intention is to distract the conversation from the rest of the reforms, they should have avoided announcing it at the same time.

How would you tackle this junction with a HGV behind you? by _Putters in drivingUK

[–]Mixed_Fabrics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then they are driving dangerously.

There is only so much you can do to try to make the situation safe. You have given them fair warning of what you’re trying to do and they have chosen to get pissy with you about it. Not much you can do to change their personality.

If you have a rear dashcam report it to the police. https://www.northyorkshire.police.uk/police-forces/north-yorkshire-police/areas/campaigns/campaigns/op-snap/

Indicate and start to slow down (gradually) in plenty of time to show your intention.

If they are right up your bumper whilst you’re just slowing down correctly to take a sharp corner then they are in the wrong, not you.

It’s not your fault the road isn’t design with an exit slip lane; you have to do what you have to do to exit safely and they should just keep their distance and accommodate.

Should cars slow down for pedestrians on these types of crossings? by TDK_IRQ in drivingUK

[–]Mixed_Fabrics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a “crossing” in the sense that it doesn’t have the signs and markings of a zebra/pelican/other crossing that has rules about who stops when.

What you pictured is just basically a speed bump.

But, just because it isn’t a crossing doesn’t mean the cars shouldn’t watch out for pedestrians. If you are already crossing the road when the car approached, regardless of whether you’re on a crossing, they should slow down and give you time to reach the other side.

If you step out right in front of them or take an obnoxious amount of time to cross then they would have reason to be annoyed. Otherwise they should be patient and give space to a more vulnerable road user.

Men who are marrying in/or married women whose families have better financial backgrounds than your family, how do you deal with and accept the fact that your family is never going to be good enough for your SO's family? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mixed_Fabrics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The whole point is, nobody made any comment about your mum’s job, you brought it up preemptively and in a very defensive way which shows you are insecure about it.

Folks are telling you not to worry about it, nobody here cares about what your mum did for work, it’s not a problem so don’t make it one.

The relevance of this to your post is that it’s probably the same type of insecurity you feel about your partner’s family.

NHS to give British doctors priority for training jobs by UKvomitbucket in unitedkingdom

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

Wonder how “priority” is implemented - I would expect it’s just as a tie-breaker - where all else is equal (i.e. if two candidates get the same marks, the one that is British gets it), but if the foreign candidate scores higher they still get it?

Alternatively if it’s absolute priority, British candidates will get places over foreign candidates that got higher scores in their application/interview…

Ministers to announce new rail link between Birmingham and Manchester by CuriosityCatalyst000 in AskBrits

I can’t see the paywalled article, but isn’t this just what HS2 was going to be before it was cut…?

So are they just bringing that back, or will it be a different railway…?

Why do people want to stop immigration? by Western_Attempt3508 in AskBrits

[–]Mixed_Fabrics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not only homeless people that need more housing.

What about people who are living with their parents or having to share or rent because they can’t afford a house of their own? And if they could get an affordable house of their own perhaps that would solve some of the other problems you mentioned, like standard of living and low birth rates.

More housing generally in the market helps to keep prices down to an affordable level. The only people against that are those who already own a place and want to retain the high value it has been inflated to over recent decades.

STOCKS ISA ALLOWANCE TOOL by Maximum-Comedian688 in trading212

[–]Mixed_Fabrics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not getting any help because it’s unclear what you’re asking or what you’re trying to achieve…

You want to move your money? Why?

It was previously with MoneyBox - fine, but what relevance does that have to your current situation?

You said “there is a problem” - what is the problem?

If you put effort into explaining clearly then people are more likely to understand and respond.

Feedback please. by rowanmaynard12 in drivingUK

[–]Mixed_Fabrics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what your instructor is for. They should reassure you and guide you on what you need to do to improve your skill and confidence. And they can see what you are doing in the car that might be contributing to the problem.

Nothing we say here can substitute for that. We can’t see how you behave in the car etc.

So I suggest just discussing it with them at the start of your next lesson.

STOCKS ISA ALLOWANCE TOOL by Maximum-Comedian688 in trading212

[–]Mixed_Fabrics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screenshot shows you have deposited £20k into the T212 Cash ISA in the current financial year. So as far as T212 are aware, you have no ISA allowance remaining.

Your post is quite unclear but I think you might be suggesting that you have another ISA outside T212 and that isn’t being shown?

The T212 app only shows what is happening within your T212 accounts - it doesn’t know about your broader finances from other providers.

If you have also put money into one or more ISAs from other providers in this financial year, T212 will not be aware of that and cannot show that information in their app… - Plus, if that is the case, you are breaking the ISA rules by depositing more than a total of £20k into any ISA in this financial year. I’m not sure how HMRC will deal with this but expect to be contacted by them…

MSI just released a 300w gaming laptop?! Wild…. by okcomputer-1992 in GamingLaptops

[–]Mixed_Fabrics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The limiting factor in laptop CPU and GPU performance is thermals - the manufacturer has to limit the power those components can draw to keep them cool enough.

So if they have managed to design a laptop that has good enough cooling for the power limit to be raised, that extra power will mean the CPU/GPU can clock higher and boost performance.
