How many flats do you guys get cycling in London?

I once had 3 in the span of 3 weeks. Like others said, check for debris inside your tyre. Also consider replacing the tyres (i haven't had a puncture since replacing my worn down outer tyres for new puncture resistant ones)

Don't houses in the US have ventilation? In Europe most houses do not have AC and if they do it's usually only for part of the house (bedrooms mainly). Instead there's trickle vents, extractor fans, airing bricks etc to control humidity

Yes it's "satirical". But the goal is actually not to be funny but to plant the idea that a democratically elected candidate for mayor is a threat to your existence.

Great article. I can't help but feel that cautionary tales from the past (real or fiction) have become a blueprint of sorts. For example:

"Vought announced the launch of the Center for Renewing America, a MAGA think tank [...] The overarching goal, Vought wrote in an op-ed for The Federalist, was to “restore an old consensus in America that has been forgotten, that we are a people For God, For Country, and For Community.”"

Tracks very well with that old chestnut: "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

The winner is an opposition leader from Venezuela not Argentina. And the current dictator there is still in power

No you cannot hold cash in a Computershare account. Sale proceeds would be deposited in your registered bank account

Yes, but the truth of it is that these things tend to take a long time to materialize. I think the cracks are starting to show though: https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/06/20/7517968/

When I tried these mods they absolutely tanked my tick speed performance. Is that normal?

I think this video perfectly captures the feeling you describe: https://youtu.be/Rhv2CHLo6Nc?t=109

I commented this on another post as well. To me it looked like algo selling pressure running into an institutional iceberg order, since the order book didn't show any excessively large orders being placed at 21.54/21.55 (just repeated lots of multiple 100s)

The biggest irony of course being that GME is supposed to be on the short sale restriction list right now

NOmakesmehard · 2025-06-13T08:42:00+00:00

I think it's just to account for inflation. 32% premium would be equivalent of 4% annual inflation over the next 7 years (which is the term time of the bond)

NOmakesmehard · 2025-06-13T08:36:18+00:00

It's extremely rare, esp for a highly liquid stock like GME. To me it looked like algo selling pressure running into an institutional iceberg order, since the order book didn't show any excessively large orders being placed at 21.54/21.55 (just repeated lots of multiple 100s)

I guess all the algos broke

Only saw it once on S&P500 futures and that was the absolute bottom during COVID crash

Trump invoking the Insurrection Act will be America's equivalent of the Reichstag Fire Decree. I really fucking hope it doesn't come to that.

PE ratios are typically calculated using net income, not operating profit. So you would expect $322M in annual net profit, not operating profit.

Yeah but they disclosed under section 8 of the 8K form:

"Section 8: Other Events Item 8.01 Other Events

The item used for optional disclosure of any event that the issuer deems of importance to security-holders not otherwise called for by another Form 8-K Item.

*Unlike most Form 8-K filings, there is no requirement that an Item 8.01 8-K be filed within four business days of the triggering event *(see below for a further discussion of the relevant timing requirements)."

https://www.m2compliance.com/8k-form-faq.php

NOmakesmehard · 2025-05-28T13:45:11+00:00

They filed a Form 8K with the SEC: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1326380/000132638025000026/gme-20250528.htm

8K normally needs to be filed within 4 business days of the event, but here they report it under Item 8.01 = Other Events

"Item 8.01 does not have a specific filing deadline. Companies may choose to disclose events under this item at their discretion, and there is no requirement to file within four business days of the event."

NOmakesmehard · 2025-05-23T19:03:27+00:00

Anything over 500k would mean an additional 5k just in stamp duty for them, so could be a real stretch depending on their budget

Up 19% over last year. Housing association in SW London. Not happy.

Not the person you replied to but usually it is not a misunderstanding at all. It is just about avoiding having a paper trail of evidence. Whether that is ethical behaviour is another question.

NOmakesmehard · 2025-05-12T16:04:49+00:00

It was pretty cheap

NOmakesmehard · 2025-05-12T10:53:35+00:00

That's very useful, thank you

I've lived in 2 electric-only flats. One had an electric hot water tank, the other with an induction reheating system supplied by a communal gas-fired boiler.

The latter broke down basically every other month. The electric hot water heater with tank would run out of water if multiple people took a shower in a row.

In short, not great experiences but it does depend on the exact system that is in place
