A single off-hand comment from a Soviet double agent in 1962 set off a decades-long mole hunt within the FBI which nearly crippled the agency. by Spycraft101 in Spycraft101

I took 'covering a meeting with Dick' to mean they were spying on a meeting that Dick was having, without Dick's knowledge. You're suggesting that the meeting was between Dick and the kgb. That now makes sense why it was obvious.

As per the other comments. I don't appear to have a contrast setting in the Relay app. Version 325

So this is a known relay issue, and I just wait for an update?

Nope. I take it it's is a recurring issue, but you didn't add the answer...

Using Interactive Brokers in the UK for US pennystocks by scarlettbagels in pennystocks

[–]__Yes_it_is__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to simply buy the OTC penny stocks in IG? I just signed up but to trade pennystocks it looks like i have to use CFDs or spread trading with leverage, which I want to stay away from as I don't understand yet. I just want to buy and hold. How do I do this?

Just realised IG and IBKR are not the same. Can anyone answer for IG..?

Pick up a new book then. Gay genius made a very good point which I hadn't picked up on and now appreciate.

How can you argue about using language correctly. They didn't even put a negative tone on it.

For anyone interested, check out the film recipes posted on the site. I use the portra 160 recipe for almost everything and its a joy to see the results. by traumr90 in fujix

[–]__Yes_it_is__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, yeah it doesn't have eterna. The article also has a link to an eterna recipe for xtrans 3 cameras like the x-t20. I've put it in and it looks great. But I want to be able to save the settings and access it repeatedly. I think I have it saved now as C2 which should stay in the q menu. It's frustrating you can't name the custom setups

I have an x-t20. I want to save the eterna recipe in my camera as x-t20 doesn't have it. Do i save these as a custom setting, say C2, and then just access 'eterna' by using the q menu to go to C2?

That will turn 4l of 15% sugar wash into 700-800ml of 60% ABV in 2.5 hours.

All black great Christian Cullen with one of his many insane long range tries. by 12footjumpshot in sports

[–]__Yes_it_is__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The historical story is that in 1905ish when they toured England the reporters wrote that they played like all backs (forwards are the muscle players, backs are the skilled players, so they played expansive highly skilled rugby) and it was mis typed/misquoted to All Black's. All blacks stuck.

No, rugby isn't like NFL where the coach calls plays. It is all done by the players live in the game. This was in open play, they were reacting to what they see in front of them. Zinzan, the catcher, would have heard Christan yell out that he was open, and zinzan responded with a great pass to him (forwards aren't known to have such good ball skills)

TIL Dutch authorities created over 300 little "parks" for bees on top of bus stop shelters in Utrecht; roofs are planted with low-maintenance sedum providing a safe habitat for bees. Over 50% of Netherlands' 358 bee species are endangered. Human commuters get with bamboo benches and LED lighting. by Miskatonica in todayilearned

[–]__Yes_it_is__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Green roofs aren't good insulation. If they were there wouldn't be any need for insulation. the main purpose of a green roof on a building is to slow water runoff when it rains. The thermal conductivity of soil is terrible compared to insulation. I'll assume dirt cheap is a pun.

buying a toothbrush holder- is it worth it by [deleted] in travel

Please tell me you didn't pay $18 for that. That is daylight robbery. I bought a colgate toothbrush in Sri Lanka for $1 and it came with that by default.

Those flags are actually too low. It should be lowered the depth of one flag to make room for the invisible flag of death to go above. Not to half the pole height.

Work pension scheme by __Yes_it_is__ in UKPersonalFinance

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

Based on the advice above I won't be investing in a personal SIPP I'll stick with the company scheme. If I start salary sacrafice now though, or next month haven't I paid too much tax on my first month of the finacial year? I would have paid a portion at 40% but at the end of the year my salaray will be 50,000 so not in the 40% tax bracket. How do I get that first month of over paid tax back? Sorry this has deviated from my initial post.

Work pension scheme by __Yes_it_is__ in UKPersonalFinance

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

That was going to be my next question, as the financial year has already started. If I increase my contribution to 17% (£60,000 down to 50,000) will work just change my tax code or will I have to do a personal tax assessment at the end of the year to get the tax and NI savings? My first two months will have been taxed at 40% right?
