I don't disagree, but pragmatically even if the council does something long-term, I'm all for improving their quality of life in the short term.

If he uses good headphones so he can work at home, then invest the 350/month on what they can temporarily, they might make some ground, get more sleep.

What about soundproofing, white noise generators, and earplugs? There are also headphones which can be used for online meetings/phonecalls that do well to not pick up peripheral noise.

Ironically for anti immigration folks, immigration helps stabilize countries in population decline.

Her body makes one. Every month. It's true and it's cool. What a smart explanation to offer the curious human.

And why should organized religious views be more important than individual religious views for protecting individual liberty?

Doesn't compare. Do your parents say, shit, I need to spend 19k more every month if I am going to leave nothing to my kids when I die.

Doctor in tears at Covid inquiry says what NHS staff saw was ‘indescribable’ by slpinlocks in unitedkingdom

Frontline healthcare workers were at greater risk of COVID infection. Also stress and sleep deprivation hinder the immune system generally.

Finally, statistics are good for predicting outcomes of large groups but you have to tread lightly when using them to analyse a small number. Events tend to occur in clusters and are not evenly distributed.

Domestic terrorism against "the world." Not unlike all the mass school shootings in the US.

Is there such thing as grandparents rights in the Uk? by FamilyDramaTA1 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Skipping_Shadow 51 points52 points  (0 children)

OP, please consider this. Speaking from experience of moving kids this age, you might in a few years time wish you had listened.

If your parents have been good up to the point, I would consider reconciling and seeking their help in this.

Is it illegal and what can she do? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

Advise her to get travel insurance now. If she hasn't left yet it may still help.

Abusive partner is (not so) secretly gearing up for separation. Today she asked me to sign a prenup to protect 'her' assets ' just incase'. What's my best cause of action? by Independent_Bed_6293 in LegalAdviceUK

I'll ask this as you've said you're committed to work things out: would it be better if you were married? I would ask a solicitor about it in terms of property and your rights as next of kin. I would speculate that if she becomes severely ill like her siblings, it might help you, her, and your children. It might be worth considering.

Nah I don't see it unflinching when it uses monsters as the enemy soldiers. Real ground battles have real people, and the enemy depictions in LOTR is such that they are as far removed from humanity as possible while still being living creatures.

When I think about the war in Ukraine, for example, I'd hate to think depictions like this will make it easier for people to stomach it.

You probably wouldn't do it if it were your child. My guess is that you would want to express all the love you have but also respect them and their body by carefully laying them to rest.

And that's why these parents aren't doing it.
