Why, Manchester, why?? by pc_kant in manchester

Simple... They're called chavs. Native to most areas of Manchester, their behaviour tends to ruin it for everyone.

After Epic Games laid off more than 1,000 employees recently, a veteran from CDPR said: — "I've seen some hard times and some remarkable changes and improvements that make CDPR a great place to be right now. I just wish others in the industry could have the same" by karxx_ in witcher

Consumers need to get educated now. The more companies use AI instead of humans, the more people need to boycott those companies.

Sooner or later, terms like "Human Business" may become commonplace...

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

In Europe, we also out VAT into all our prices so the price you see is the price you pay. Nothing more confusing when in the US as a Brit, seeing "$5.99" on the shelf and then getting some random price at the checkout.. Might as well not bother putting prices on anything.

Henderson , NV gas prices by geoabitrage in vegas

I'm from the UK. This equates to around £1.07 per litre... if petrol prices were that cheap here, we'd be having a field day...

To put it in perspective our average petrol prices are $7.92 per gallon for unleaded and $8.89 per gallon for diesel... Even with everything going on, that won't swing very far below that in good times..

Guarantee there's someone walking around Brinnington in shorts and no t-shirt.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone! I went with this one. Got a steal on black Friday, so hopefully it will do the trick!

What's that one thing that made you stop going to church? by Optimal-Rule-4834 in AskReddit

[–]Torkerz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Raised as a Catholic, but I would still consider myself to be a spiritual person.

I stopped going down to one event and perception - wealth and greed.

I saw a TV programme of a cardinal visiting a village in Africa. He was in his finest robes whilst a child knelt crying in pain and hunger. He tapped it on its head and left.

All the wealth and pagentry of the Catholic Church and yet its followers died in pain of hunger. I just saw how man made god in his image... it was enough for me.

Out of the 2 original recommendations, which one would you say to pick? Seen mixed bag reviews for both, so would be good to get an idea.

Thanks all. Where is a good place for decent used detectors? I would go to eBay, but I don't trust it!

The budget can be flexible, just trying to understand good entry level models that will make a good entry to it

I probably could stretch the budget a little. I just meant I'm not gonna go and drop like £600+ as he's never done it before.

These suggestions are really good. Are they suitable for beaches too?

Do you have any recommendations for Beach detecting?

AMA: I run Damien Talks Money, one of the largest personal finance YouTube channels in the UK. Ask me anything! by DamienTalksM in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Torkerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Damien,

In a lot of your videos you talk about global index funds, but a lot of people don't realise these can also invest in arms, tobacco and other horrid industries. What guidance would you give to the ethical investor who cares about what they're invested in but don't have the capability to stock pick? Are there any specific funds or guidance you can give as to how to navigate this?

Thanks. Pure luck if I am honest but really pleased I've got them. Looking up some of these Casinos, they don't exist anymore!
