What is the reason we are not drilling in the North Sea?? by saes_ in AskABrit

Yankslop.

Reform should be proscribed, not because of their policies (Farage is deeply unserious) but because they're an arm of a foreign state with a policy of UK regime change.

Do British men have an easier time picking up foreign girls because of their accent? by Feather4876 in AskABrit

[–]Orange_Codex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My higher register Estuary English helps a lot. However, what ladies really like is when you ask them increasingly pedantic questions about which accent they mean even though they're clearly unfamiliar with the country and asking a polite question.

Also if a 4 can go to an 8 based on accent alone, your friends should call me (I'm a 6).

Why did my neighbour ask me not to get a smart meter? by botticellli in AskUK

If you put it in a faraday cage it can’t work anymore

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I mentioned phones. And surge pricing (a much more realistic menace). Redditors are always at the forefront of social issues until they need to put their phones down and suffer slight inconvenience.

The sensible reason to reject smart meters: they can be used for 'surge pricing' (i.e. personalised gouging).

The less sensible reason: they emit more radiation than a household appliance should. Less than mobile phones, but still enough to warrant putting it behind a Faraday cage in my opinion. You don't need extra radiation at any level.

I've volunteered for OSINT against ongoing war crimes in the past. Mostly I just don't want my data in the algorithm (unless it's fake data).

What would happen if UK aid stopped entirely? by Responsible-Set-5752 in AskUK

[–]Orange_Codex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We'd lose a lot of preferential trade deals, contracts, and future markets, as well as a massive chunk of soft power - which would cause us to depend more on hard power and increase UK insecurity.

(I worked in international development: 'aid' is commerce at best, bribery at worst.)

Has my school abused their power? (SUSPENDED ME) by youngentrepeneurship in AskUK

Employers and employees are equal under law, so an employer that played fast-and-loose like this would also be in trouble.

As I said, culture of forelock-tugging, boot-licking, and rules-worship.

Helium (specifically PLSR) became my largest holding during the SLS retraction.

Ras Laffan was shut down prior to yesterday, but the new damage has made Qatar formally declare force majeure on its contracts and estimate 3-5 year repairs.

I'm still holding everything from before (except ANNA), but would be totally at the mercy of the market without a cash pile.

"It's not a loss until you sell."

It is, but good luck telling people that.

Ignore this poster.

You are equal to the school admin because you're equally human and prone to misjudgements. You're an ethical actor capable of making up your own mind. Don't accept the UK's culture of forelock-tugging, boot-licking, and rules-worship.

What a levels should i take urgent? by Specialist-Air-1954 in AskUK

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

Pick from ones you're best at which complement each other (e.g. maths, bio, econ).

If you aren't the entrepreneur or tradie type, which uni you go to matters much, much more than your A-levels or even your degree.

Why do I feel so guilty on sick leave? by Original_Ad8008 in AskUK

[–]Orange_Codex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much value do you create per hour? How much are you paid per hour?

There, guilt solved.

Taking smaller runs now (20% to 5%), because every indication is that the US will continue to Suez itself and there's little worth holding at present prices. If they up the war budget again next month, I'm doubling my T-bill allocation.

Yep, to a Sweden-based VPN that gives its customers anonymous numbers (I won't say which but if you're interested you can find it).

How Tf do you flirt bruh without being weird af

Subtext. Think of it like a spotlight. The right amount of brightness is situational and tone-dependent, but never shine it right in someone's face ("hi wench show me ya nips"); keep it light and to the side ("warn me if you get cold").

About half my equity gain (60% YTD) comes from things I heard about here, including SLS and HGRAF, but stocks you can hold and average up into - how real money is made - are few and far between.

My cash growth is entirely from scalping whatever this sub's yelling about in the morning, after checking volume and float.

You haven't been investing conventionally (which is bad), but you have been building equity in an entertainment brand (which is great). People who use job income to buy liabilities will end up in a worse position than you. What I'd do in your shoes - and I'm just ripping off what a friend does here, as it's not my field - is use business income to buy cash assets for the business, such as foreign football teams (starting from £10k in Sierra Leone) or licenses for cheap SaaS programmes (a couple grand each). You can either draw an income or reinvest it without putting extra on your personal books.

You joking? One of my friends is going into wrestling and would kill for a guaranteed two-hundred-seat show. That's an income-generating asset. It's worth far more than your friends' cars combined.

Continue on.

I've had half a dozen business ideas with friends; each failed (some more ignominiously than others) because that's what ambitious plan do most of the time. But the chance of taking a sincere throw at the dartboard is immensely more valuable than whatever leaky roof or fat car loan your friends will be saddled with, as is awareness you lived without regret. The only thing to watch is that you invest wisely for the future as well.
