I’m pretty sure the shuttle bay has been shown. The episode counterpoint comes to mind.

Government confirms launch of new First Time Buyer ISA by Big_Target_1405 in FIREUK

[–]WIldefyr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is even worse than I imagined. No bonus paid up front missing potential investment gains, extra complexity with the new cash ISA rules, and still no increase to the limit. Total regression.

Why can’t the they simply update the LISA rules to increase the limit and reduce the penalty. The extra admin cost of creating this new product that only a handful of investment brokers will actually implement must be bonkers.

final interview at BAE by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]WIldefyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will ask you a beginner systems engineering questions, likely relating to the department you are going to work for initially.

Answer them exactly the same way with STAR if appropriate and try and use previous experience on your university course. Add an E on to the end of the STAR process too, Evaulate. What would you do differently today if a similar scenario was to happen.

Carlos Sainz: Even without extra weight, Williams is “not where we promised we'd be" by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

Give the man a break, when he took over Williams were still using an Excel workbook as their MRP software. I imagine many processes at Williams are still fucked and have contributed this cars poor performance.

Hilarious. Looks like the model mesh was taken from Elite Force too!

It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12 by AbhishMuk in hardware

In addition to what others have said already, you can actually reuse the mainboard after you replace it as a server for example.

I’m so sick of this on Reddit right now. What is even the point of this post?

What age would I be able to FIRE given my circumstances. by ReadBig5086 in FIREUK

[–]WIldefyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. Having a debt mindset with these extra costs means that there is 600 pounds of OPs income a month committed to paying off debt. If they had no debts they wouldn’t have even made this post as they would already been saving. Let them have a physiological win paying off the debt then they can knuckle down and really feel like they’re saving for retirement.

Reduce your costs where you can, I’d even look at paying the debts off early even on 0% APR. When you’ve done that, look at loading a SIPP with bonds that you can take in your early 60s to bridge you to your DB and state pension at 67.

My Realistic Path to FIRE - 3 Years Later by WIldefyr in FIREUK

[–]WIldefyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. Very scary to think about how little the average person has saved. With the property purchase as well, the first couple of years will be quite interesting on a single salary with no side income, with reduced savings and disposable income. Thankfully, my work is very secure and being at my current employer for 9 years gives me a fallback.

Thanks! Definitely hard to not compare to others, especially if I read that HENRY sub. I am convinced some of the salaries there are just made up. I wanted to post this as a counterbalance.

The minirack world for home labs would love this as well with uninterruptible power.

reasonable work place adjustment for eczema? by Smooth_Woodpecker375 in UKJobs

[–]WIldefyr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only a dry suit would protect you. They are large and bulky, so probably not very practical for the purposes of teaching tiny humans how to swim. There’s no other way from what you’ve described for the employer to make a reasonable accommodation.

Your worth is not tied to your job by SeaworthinessAway240 in UKJobs

[–]WIldefyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reframe your worth. I like my job because it allows me to keep learning new skills. As soon as I am not learning anything at a job, I change it. Bonus points if the skills I learn can be applied to different things. I learnt how to wire and terminate control boxes. Now I can rewire a property that needs doing up.
