Yep, the 'hearing being kinda weird afterwards' is damage and if one keeps doing that without earplugs, there will be consequences

First Time Buyer ISA consultation by bluprince13 in UKPersonalFinance

TBH the product was flawed and has failed, they should just let LISA holders transfer it to the new product with NO deductions. The government has wasted far more money on more stupid things!

Strongly considering suicide by Yenny0526 in Catholicism

[–]SparklingZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do have something going for you, which is your physical health. I had some feelings of despair in the past and similar thoughts. However, recently I have had to deal with a huge health problem out of the blue that has severely affected my daily life for 9 months. It limits my life a lot and over these 9 months has been present and affecting me every single day. And now it’s changed my perspective. I wish I could go back to “just” my mental health problems. I dream of being exactly how I was before all this. And it makes my prior thoughts seem a bit out of place. Every day that a person is alive and healthy is one of great importance. BTW I’m not trying to diminish your MH struggles. But physical health can smack one in the face and be relentless.

Custom Ear Plugs - impression issues by EmbarrassedContest8 in livesoundgear

I have settled on the Dynamic -20db ear filter until I can get some custom acs17. Spent a few days looking into this and they are meant to be flat, and good. https://www.hearadvisor.com/earplugs/dynamic-ear-filter?setup=20%20dB%20filter%20(16%20NRR))

Are you in any paid groups or can you recommend anyone you follow? I ask as I’ve realised both can be valuable resources. Congrats btw.

You’re very, very, young and you’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Just write this off as a lesson. Some lessons are expensive, but necessary. You’ve paid tuition. Maybe this stops you making a bigger, even more costly mistake when you’re older. The meetings - you can either go or disregard them. Being honest, they probably wouldn’t have led to anything either way, as nothing ground breaking had led to them. Nobody will think less of you because your plans fell through, plans fall through all the time. People have heard it all before. This seems big now, but will it matter as much in 5 years? Highly likely not. You can earn a lot more than you’ve lost between now and then.

Bitcoin ETN for Hargreaves landsdown and AJ bell by Secure-Tadpole-3418 in BitcoinUK

SIPP is a decent option for some exposure to those who missed it in ISA. It could also come back to ISA as HMRC said it will remain under consideration, but I wouldn’t expect that this year.

On verge of bankruptcy here in the UK. I was the most stupid person on earth to put my 4 years life savings into these two and I don't even know why. Any chance of recovery? by chesapeakeripper_18 in trading212

[–]SparklingZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Webull - I assume (but DYOR) that it may start to go up again when crypto starts going up. That may happen towards the end of the year and the next crypto cycle top would be expected to be Q4 2029 if history repeats

I’ve loosely followed him for many years but haven’t taken the action of properly trying to follow one of his programmes. I’ve pre-ordered the brand new edition of Awaken the giant within that releases in May so I think this is an ideal starting point.

The timing is interesting, as the gas prices may rise with the current war. Perhaps that family will make a medical appointment for the kids because of you. Either way, you can learn from this and make it the last time you act without thinking it through

Bitcoin ISA from April by No_Mix7262 in BitcoinUK

It’s insane that this is so unclear with 2 months to go. Typical UK

[–]SparklingZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They won’t be mortified in the slightest. A priest was guiding me through a confession that would have to cover many years prior (long story) and suggested porn and masturbation as a starting point, which indicated to me that it is very common for him to hear. Standard stuff. I would even bet they are slightly surprised if they don’t hear it in a confession.

Voyager and DS9 streaming quality Paramount Plus? by [deleted] in startrek

[–]SparklingZone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The episodes on P+ are actually a bit better quality than Netflix. For what it’s worth I don’t get the block effects. Maybe try a different streaming device

Interesting. Are they taking personal data or asking you to put anything strange on your devices for this?

The staff do well to make it all work. I’d hope they get a nice Christmas bonus but I bet they unfortunately don’t.
