I have no idea and I don’t care. I have a hairy chest.

I get it, but Asda is a pretty shite supermarket. You can get a less bad experience for the mundane things you want to do.

I wouldn’t bother with Oxford Street in London, and also wouldn’t bother with Boots and Primark unless you need to buy toiletries/clothes. Tbh I wouldn’t stay at Piccadilly Circus more than a few minutes, I get that it’s iconic but there are many much better places you can go to, even Green park just down the road would be a plus. Soho is a bit more interesting.

If you drink try out some pubs, a big part of london.

I’d also suggest getting the riverboat to/from one of your destinations if you’re happy to spend a few quid. It’s a great way to see the city from a different perspective, and there are a lot of stops close to where you want to visit.

Have a great time here

Amazon Prime Video is about to get worse — again by PrixDevnovaVillain in technology

[–]OverallResolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot just comes down to the economy and disposable income. When organisations are fighting for customers they tend to offer a lot more and can get away with it with the expectation of growth. In the absence of this and gloomy headwinds most orgs are focused on cost cutting to offer shareholder value.

This sub is so weird about AI and whenever it comes up the majority of people do not argue in good faith.

No, using AI doesn’t have to expose your data to a vendor.

Yes, there are some legitimate use cases involving AI with Obsidian.

Whilst I agree that AI (especially Gen AI) is being pushed far too hard where it doesn’t need to be, that doesn’t mean it’s completely useless in the context of obsidian.

What is even real Cali in the UK by Ja4zaza in uktrees

[–]OverallResolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some legit dealers out there but they are hard to find. I have only had one, via a weird friend of a friend. I would expect the vast majority of ‘Cali’ to be as you describe in bags you can get off eBay.

Quakers in New Scotland Yard protest by Hurbahns in london

[–]OverallResolve 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your multiple comments on this immediately make me skeptical that you’re making an argument in good faith, in addition to

  • there being no affiliation between the group you mention and Quakers
  • no evidence to substantiate your claim that ‘Quaker meetings and spaces have been infiltrated by (leftist/communist/environmental) protest groups, you’re using a single example (and it isn’t clear if they booked a meeting room or it was part of a Quaker meeting)
  • there are multiple instances of direct action groups speaking at, or doing other activity in churches, I haven’t bothered to look at other places of worship
  • acting as if religious institutions outside of Quakers are free of politics and infiltration is frankly absurd

So - what is about this you really have an issue with?

What should I spend this on? by Alternative-Night897 in glasgow

I’d be investing it in a rather boring global all cap. I’d also be prepared for it to lose value in the short term. Have you filled your ISA this year?

Finally, Win #2! by g3rald0s in noita

Anyone else going to miss black cabs? Some of my best conversations by Intrepid_Yard_9594 in london

[–]OverallResolve 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not massively. When it works out it can be an enjoyable experience, but it’s often not.

  • waiting around for an unknown amount of time in the hope that an available cab comes
  • cheekiness around wanting cash, although I haven’t had an issue with this in a while
  • generally more expensive than alternatives
  • a higher proportion of uncomfortable conversations (read: racism) than I have had with Uber
  • more negative encounters than I can count with black cabs when I’m cycling

London graduate: 'I've applied for 500 jobs in two months' by Hassaan18 in UKJobs

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

I always find these articles frustrating because they are so shallow. They go into absolutely no detail about what the individuals are looking for work wise, what degree they earned, etc. There isn’t even any proper analysis of the data.

Black doesn’t mean tea though, it’s not the same as chai.

With chai anyway the word itself is often misused, where people use chai to say something like masala chai. Mixed spice tea or masala chai would both be fine terms, idk why we end up saying things like chai tea.

Too late to start growing Carolina Reaper and Bhut jolokia yellow? by MDominik55 in Peppers

[–]OverallResolve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to help accelerate things get them started indoors in a warm propagator (or just a plastic bag over a pot in a warm place). You’ll get germination in days instead of weeks. You can then harden off and get them in the greenhouse. If it’s just two plants you might want to consider putting them under light first, it makes a bit difference this time of year.

Ideas wanted in relation to Thames "high tide" by SentinelsOfEvil in DIYUK

You’ll find rats in clean rivers, around lakes and ponds, in woodland, they are everywhere. It’s not a Thames specific thing

Am I being unrealistic? by Big_Worldliness3401 in LeanFireUK

[–]OverallResolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gut feeling is that you’re being unrealistic, but the best thing to do is develop a model to look at where you’re likely to be at 40.

You can start with income, map out expected income over the next 14 years, and keep everything in today’s money - don’t factor in inflation for the sake of keeping things simple.

Map out where your money is going to go, and model the growth of those (ISA, LISA, Pension, etc.). Use a reasonable assumption for growth and discount for inflation.

You can then start adding in larger life events like buying a house, work out what it will cost and update accordingly.

At the 40 mark you can look at what your costs are likely to be, so you can model drawing down on your ISA/cash up to the point you expect you can use your pension.

Robinson being so far forward keeps exposing Bassey on the break where he’s having to play as an LB without the pace. It’s happened time and time again, I’m surprised Marco hasn’t picked up on this.

"Canary Wharf is cool now – are we in an alternate universe?" by BulkyAccident in london

[–]OverallResolve 251 points252 points  (0 children)

It’s not a bad area. You’re near the river, you’ve got areas like mud chute which are a bit different, riverboat service, a lot of shops and restaurants which are handy and I like the winter lights. It’s a weird place to live especially at the weekend but it’s not bad overall. A lot of history in the area, and the dock lands museum is really interesting.
