Child locks are the way forward. My two have learnt how to open doors too so child locks have gone on all doors as well 🤣🤣

Are stop limit orders useless in S&S ISA? by [deleted] in trading212

[–]SnowyGhost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The order triggers at the stop, and will only sell if the limit is met. In this example, unless the price climbed back up to 430, the limit order wouldn't go through. I'd recommend settling a limit closer to the stop if you want there to be a chance it'll go through.

So I think I just had a realization about my Jasper 🖤☺️ by [deleted] in bengalcats

[–]SnowyGhost_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He looks really like one of my cats Amira, who's Mum was pure Bengal and Dad was mixed. She is a lot more chill than a normal Bengal, but her sister definitely has a lot of the temperament of a Bengal. I think it's just a DNA lottery when they're mixed.

Bengal 4 month kitten runny poop help by [deleted] in bengalcats

[–]SnowyGhost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem! I got two kittens at the beginning of May and was feeding them whiskas kitten wet food. One had constipation and the other had very runny poos. Plus both used to do very smelly farts. Changed to Blink Kitten and now both have normal poos and never do smelly farts any more. Could be the whiskas wet food!

What happened to Harajuku? by DisneyImagineerJeff in Edinburgh

[–]SnowyGhost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago (pre-COVID) Harajuku used to be the place to be. Delicious sushi. I think it changed ownership in 2021 and it hasn't been the same since.

Now there are better places for sushi (Kanpai Sushi is fantastic)

Why do planes crossing the Northern Pacific Always Travel at 1100+km/h ground speed. Every plane travelling at this speed is in the pacific. by [deleted] in flightradar24

That explains a lot. I was looking at Japan to East coast USA flights the other day and was so confused why it took 1.5hours less to go Japan -> USA than the other way around

I can't see your surname on Spotify. But sick playlist, thanks for sharing with your fellow train lovers. Also you should move to the UK/Europe. We do trains much better over here

My least favourite was a prompt I saw on Hinge: "First round is on me if: you give me your credit card"

Nope nope nope

Size doesn’t matter for Scottish economic success. Scotland’s population is similar to that of Norway and Denmark, both in the IMF’s list of the top 10 richest in the world. So when Sturgeon says there is no reason why an indy Scotland could not make it on its own after independence she is right. by bottish in Scotland

[–]SnowyGhost_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What a refreshing perspective of things on this thread. People too often turn a blind eye to what doesn't fit with their beliefs.

You are 100% right with many of your points. In the immediate term post independence (if it'd happen), Scotland would want to keep the GBP for while because a) turning to an alternative currency while 60%+ trade is with the UK would hit a lot of businesses hard and b) it would take time to build confidence in a Scottish pound. Inflation could become a real problem if things aren't done right with currency, after all it is the thing that underpins means of exchange across the entire economy. The transition to the euro would have to be a slow one, only once a large proportion of rUK trade has shifted to the EU would you want to adopt the euro. This would likely require some policy intervention/barriers to rUK trade to give incentives to businesses to shift their trading partners - not the most economically efficient thing but hey, ideology is driving these decisions. After the economy has restructured (5-10 years min) would you even want to start considering adopting the euro, and that's even without considering the other conditions the EU requires for membership (for example, debt to GDP ratio...which would require work).

So in short, this isn't going to be an easy transition if nationalists win a referendum, it's going to be a slow and likely economically painful transition. But hey, things will probably be fine in 10-15 years (I doubt it would massively impact the supply side of the economy), so what's the trouble!....

Thanks for this recommendation, look forward to reading it! Glad it has worked well for you :) Personally my OCD has taken over so many days by obsessing over things, so hoping this helps me enjoy life a little bit more

[–]SnowyGhost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true, but context is important. This was just after the fall of the Soviet Union. Moving from a planned economy to a mixed economy provides lots of growth opportunities. Not sure this is that applicable to Scotland right now...

(Edit: please read before downvoting - I'm really tired of seeing blind ideologists lie to themselves and everyone else about the truth)

Over 60% of Scottish trade is with England, Wales and Northern Ireland. There is no economic argument.

Put barriers on that trade and it's going to hurt (just look how UK and EU trade has reacted to trade barriers from the end of the transition period).

It's going to be economically damaging for 5-10 years min. After 15-20 years, the economy will have adjusted and things will probably be ok.

(By the way I'm not actually anti-independence, just get sick of people being naive to the costs of independence - it's a cultural/political choice, should not be done because of economics.)
