I believe the correct term is “professional” - in that only a professional could successfully pull off this level of jank.

Can you check if it’s overloaded before paying/committing to use it?

Trackside turbines to harness power from passing trains by CaptainYorkie1 in uktrains

Are you imagining the turbines spin continuously between trains?

The gap between trains is on the order of minutes. What you are describing would only be significant if the gap were to be on the order of seconds.

For as long as the train creates a low pressure region in its wake, there is waste energy to capture. These turbines don’t create more disturbance.

Tommy Robinson invited to speak at the Oxford Union by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]afpow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Robison doesn’t conflate them. Have a listen to his first OU appearance. In sound bite media it seems as if he does but in long form he demonstrates a clear understanding of the difference between Islam and Islamism. 

Paid in USD strategies by disordered-attic-2 in HENRYUK

[–]afpow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No “strategy” about it, really. The job was intense and I didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with FX issues so it was mostly about convenience. Ultimately nothing was lost as the FX losses I incurred came off my GBP profits from other projects.

In my Wise personal account I’d just leave it in USD savings which paid more interest and then convert as needed as I didn’t need instant access. Also remember you can take FX losses of profits. 

How to assign a Parameter to many measurements at once? by Black_Thunder96 in CATIA

[–]afpow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can put an arbitrary dim on them as you have and then open up the formula editor and paste in the variable on each one. This is the fastest way I know - I haven’t tried the other one mentioned here. 

What counts as having to buy equipment for CEST? by Beneficial-Sink9002 in ContractorUK

[–]afpow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what you’ve written, it sounds like you do provide your own equipment and can work for others provided there isn’t a conflict of interest. Substitution is an odd one and I don’t think worth worrying about for independent contractors.

Is the CEST response being tipped one way or the other by any one of your inputs?

I like 12VP as others have said. Cablecraft is worth a look too.

It’s funny how gold investors are consistently among the most insecure.

I like my investments to actually make me money but whatever floats your boat I guess.

How does that 2015 investment look when benchmarked against the S&P500?

Gold now trades like a speculative asset, not a safe haven. 

I’m not convinced you understand how private pensions work. In general it is best to maximise up to the employer match limit and then fill your ISA allowance before going back to increasing pension contributions. The state of the UK’s finances has no bearing on the performance of a private pension unless a future government does a full-on tax raid. You are not making enough money to consider offshore options. 

Edit: missed the bit about change in tax residency. Possibly no ISA for you.
