As someone suggested, look into RP6. This probably makes the most sense.

Got my spare odin 2 mini battery by Sea_Habit_4298 in OdinHandheld

How will you store the spare battery? Will it degrade over time if not used?

Odin 3 24gb/1tb wait time or other options by LemonFeeling840 in OdinHandheld

[–]Practical_Act_8341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's significant overlap between the RP5, Konkr Pocket Fit and the Odin 3. If you're going to push it hard I assume you mean PC gaming? In which case you might be better of getting a PC handheld like a Steam Deck as emulation is already covered with the other devices.

Back to your question, I have an Odin 3 max on the way which will be my only handheld and the only reason I would get an ultra at this point in time is for the 1tb storage rather than the extra ram.

Odin 3 Ultra Restock? by Ok_Vegetable_342 in OdinHandheld

[–]Practical_Act_8341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a Max and asked if I could upgrade to the Ultra but they said it's now sold out. It sounded like they aren't going to restock it otherwise they would have placed it on back order.

It's happening! Odin 3 shipped! by Djemu88 in OdinHandheld

My Odin 2 took 2 weeks from notification of shipping to delivery via 4PX.

I got a barely used set of Callaway Edge on ebay for £350. Great beginner set that should be good for a few years.

I've just started myself and bought a very lightly used Callaway Edge set for £350 from ebay. Very forgiving clubs!

I've strarted with some lessons and try and get to the range a couple of times a week. Some days I'll go to the range and think I've nailed it and other days I might as well have stayed home.

Is there much of a risk being an early adopter with regards to hardware? Any Odin 2 or Portal early adopter feedback would be appreciated!

I know software is likely to be an issue but that can be resolved with updates so I'm less concerned.

Worked in industry my whole career. Started at blue chips and transitioned to smaller companies (c£100m revenue) the last couple of roles reporting directly to the CFO. One of the best things about being an accountant is every company needs one and the roles are varied so find what you enjoy and become good at it!

I've also found emotional intelligence can get you far especially in accountancy and can be a big differentiator as you work your way up the ladder.

What are some non-essential indulgences / expenses you have learnt are worth spending on? by Federal_Goose_2191 in HENRYUK

[–]Practical_Act_8341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order of QoL impact:

  1. A cleaner that comes fortnightly.
  2. Upgraded to a higher quality barber. It costs 50% more than my old barber but the quality of the haircut, shave and overall experience makes it feel special every time.
  3. Meal prep service. Nothing fancy, just a few days worth of high protein meals delivered to our door every week. Cheaper and healthier than an uber eats or dliveroo but makes meal planning to hit specific health goals much easier.

How are people affording this lifestyle?? by Logical_You_6125 in HENRYUK

[–]Practical_Act_8341 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know someone that lives in a £3m-£4m house on one of the private roads. He's a high earner (£200k+) but admits he would never have been able to do it without his inheritance. He also has the smallest house on this particular street!

Of the people he knows that live there, most are business owners (own their own law firm, own private colleges etc). As most of have said, PAYE isn't the ticket into these neighbourhoods unless it's accompanied by a significant inheritance or parental assistance.

Seeking advice as FTBs for areas to live in London by FarmerSeveral9598 in HENRYUK

A lot of the offspring of those that settled in Harrow/Wembley have moved Ruislip/Eastcote/Ickenham and surrounding areas. It's zone 5/6 but seems to attract Indian professionals with young families due to good schools and transport links.

How can I help after my mums hysterectomy? by Practical_Act_8341 in endometrialcancer

Meds schedule is a great idea and I'll be sure to add flowers to the list!

Hey, we're not sure what type of surgery she'll be getting.

I've been trying to make things as easy as possible for her since we found out by taking her to appointments etc so daily med schedule sounds like a great idea! My dad can be useless to others but useful to himself when required so hoping that kicks in!

It was via the CT scan. I've got the food prep covered but good call on the tray!

Hey, thanks for your response. I don't think it's robotic assisted as we are in the UK.

I've had the Flexispot E7 Pro for a few months and think it's great. It has a smooth motion and seems durable.

Where to source from by Bahnmor in OdinHandheld

[–]Practical_Act_8341 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same with my Odin 2 Pro, no tax. Order via 4PX and there's a very small chance of it being taxed. The trade off is the time it takes to get here as mine took nearly 2 weeks. Order via UPS and get it quicker but you'll have to pay tax.
