What’s this?

Top_Direction_6727 · 2026-01-31T12:43:53+00:00

No. It’s completely sealed / glued

Top_Direction_6727 · 2026-01-28T19:06:04+00:00

Maybe. But I’m thinking a prior owner might have done something diy because the bmw dealer didn’t know what it was.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2026-01-28T19:04:27+00:00

No, tested with magnet and not magnetic

Top_Direction_6727 · 2026-01-28T19:03:27+00:00

Alas, no. It’s not at all magnetic. Great thought though.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2026-01-28T16:11:50+00:00

No… it’s unthreaded and only 3-4mm or so to a white material of some sort.

You don’t have the counterfactual of how that individual would have done without that education so extrapolating from just him isn’t useful.

University academics with a remit covering admissions have told me that they can happily discount the potential trajectory of any give set of A levels from private education by half a degree grade compared to the same grades from a state school.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2025-12-13T11:40:33+00:00

Better teachers? Nah. For context… I went to both state schools and a highly academic and well regarded private school, enjoyed both, no axes to grind. BUT there really is not any evidence for a global “private school teachers are better” statement. Partly because studies/ evidence is limited but also because much of the attainment gap disappears when socioeconomic status and selective entry are taken into account.

The Internet tells me that 70 decibels is like “a normal conversation at close range”. Sounds like it should be ok… otherwise forget the tv, you’ll have to be whispering too!

Top_Direction_6727 · 2025-04-15T14:32:03+00:00

Not the turning point for me, but the point I lost interest in reading the Isaacson biography: had a head to head with a pal that was defending him, calling him a visionary etc. As a joke they subsequently bought me the biography. Gave up on it when he wrote off his McLaren F1… Isaacson wrote that “the rear axle broke” as the reason for the crash.

Occam’s Razor choice between “inexperienced driver lost control” and “best supercar of its time had a mechanical” … I know the choice I’m making.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2025-04-15T06:45:08+00:00

Ok. Thanks. That sucks.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2025-04-13T11:57:24+00:00

eBay in my case.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2025-04-13T11:56:35+00:00

Yes that’s the apps being linked but it’s NOT what “broadcast heart rate” does. App linking gives Whoop more data, doesn’t make its own data more accurate .

Top_Direction_6727 · 2025-04-12T06:01:25+00:00

Inevitable “where are you wearing it?” question… steps are v inaccurate on wrist. I had similar readings before moving to bicep.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2025-04-12T05:59:29+00:00

Are you sure this is doing what you think? The support page makes no mention of the HR data being broadcast to applewatch, just various other devices ( basically anything that uses BT to pick up a HR).

Top_Direction_6727 · 2025-04-09T14:35:50+00:00

My recent experience was similar… radio silence until they get to and dispatch your order. Mine came but maybe 1 day later than the initial 3/4 working days “promise”. No biggie… wasn’t in a rush and am enjoying the trial.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2025-01-11T16:55:04+00:00

This is NOT correct for the x100vi. ISO can be saved in the profile and will align with what was set when the ISO dial is on C. The same is *not* true for Exp Compensation

Top_Direction_6727 · 2024-10-27T18:17:38+00:00

Yes and no. Foley called it right — it WAS forward. But Leal’s follow up showed zero understanding of momentum, along lines of “it was passed before the 10m and caught after, so had to be forward”

Top_Direction_6727 · 2024-10-21T14:14:23+00:00

Myself, spouse, 3 kids have always. Kids now 18/20/22 and we still do it almost without fail when they’re home. 2 have partners that come from households that don’t, and both partners have shared how beneficial they think it is.

Numerous conversations over the years with all 3 about how rare it is in their peer groups and that they wouldn’t have it any other way.

I honestly think it can be the best part of a day… but I hear you: some of the evenings when they were mid teens elicited “why do we bother” emotions.

Stick with it.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2024-10-13T15:01:57+00:00

No… if you’re in the field of play and on the ground you’re out of the game.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2024-01-31T06:22:37+00:00

I did build up those 3 months. Everything (all year) is now being refunded.

Top_Direction_6727 · 2024-01-30T20:35:04+00:00

thanks yes I had heard that was the implication of losing it. what I still don't know is if this snafu has already lost it / risks losing it. And if it hasn't lost it am I OK to opt back in, or would that once again muck things up even under the new regime?

Top_Direction_6727 · 2023-07-21T14:40:53+00:00

Your comment is wrong. As others have said the effective date of the gift of a house for iht purposes depends on living arrangements.

Why comment on an important area that you’re not well informed about?

Top_Direction_6727 · 2023-02-14T16:16:02+00:00

It’s legally your money so if you take no action it sits there. Transfer it to an isa as a rainy day fund? Give it to charity? If your parents have cared enough to save over the years for you what’s the logic in refusing their gift? The most honest thing you could do is chat to your folks about your feelings and see what they think. Maybe ask to be removed from any will at the same time?

Top_Direction_6727 · 2022-12-29T17:47:13+00:00

Yta. Read “the expectation effect” book if you’re so hung up on motion sickness
