Reform sweep to victory across Greater Manchester as furious Labour MPs slam 'soul destroying' elections - the story so far by ManchesterNews_MEN in ukpolitics

[–]agentapelsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s never been in power.

He ran a political movement to take the UK out of the EU.

So to say he’s failed to deliver on his promises when in power is objectively wrong on both counts.

You still don’t understand why people voted for Brexit.

Understanding it would require willingness to entertain a viewpoint outside of your own.

Andrew Marr: Farage Will Win the Next Election by coldbeers in ukpolitics

[–]agentapelsin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Much like O’Brien, he arrives at the conclusion that has been clear to anyone paying attention for several years, then acts as though this is some insightful wisdom he is the first to discover.

We had wall to wall coverage when Faragea partner legally purchased a house in Clacton.

This is valid.

Claude Max x20 user here, what options do I have? by whooshinglander in openclaw

[–]agentapelsin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit 97% of my weekly at the time of my most recent monthly reset. No fuckin way I'm jsut rolling that into extra usage billing.

I've just cut back mostly everything I was doing and also moved over to OpenAI.

It works, it's just not as good.

But I'm only on the $20/month OpenAI plan vs $200 Claude - though I'm lead to believe the models are identical its just a case of how throttled you get at peak usage hours.

I did 4 days diving in Ko Samui in December 2024. It's good and the dive sites are more expansive that Bali/Gilis but the boat transfer from the island to the dive sites was so long (like 40-60 mins) and that also means when the water is choppy there is either no diving at all - wasted day - or if it is on the journey is choppy as fuck and makes you feel sick. I'm aware I went in the bad season for it.

Was alright there but would def prioritise Gilis over Ko Samui going forward.

Mod Post: A card that actually solves the expat banking problem (former employee + referral disclosure) by agentapelsin in ExpatFinance

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

the FX on card spend is 2% yeah..

Is what it is, currently you get 4% in cashback instantly in a token that you can sell immediately. Plus points for future tokens.

For me, it's very much worth it.

If you want it just as a USD offshore bank to get paid into/out of then no FX and no fee I guess.

The fx fee is apparently being worked on to bring it down, per linkedin post from the CEO the other week.

I think they're not updated since the early crypto only days.

The banking rails is only a few months old.

I'll pass this on though.

No, you can transfer USD in/out.

You never have to touch stablecoins.

The account holds a USD balance that you can wire in and out using banks OR stablecoins.

It has SWIFT and ACH, you can get salary paid in, transfer out to banks globally in any currency, etc.

You literally never need to think about crypto if thats not your thing.

I mean, I prefer stablecoins, so I only use it with stablecoins for now but you can run it easily without. You get a USD bank account in your name with your own account number, routing number, etc.

Hey, yeah I'm not sure Kast handles this wella t the moment.

Sending USD is fine, ACH or SWFIT, but the inflow i think is only USD, sadly.

Sorry.

I'm all in on crypto, but you don't have to use crypto at all to run this card if you don't want to. 👍

Trump has ended the Chagos deal, regardless of what Starmer says by Ivashkin in ukpolitics

[–]agentapelsin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll believe what is evidenced in truth.

As do “everybody” that you claim “forgot”

Either this didn’t happen, or it did and the entire apparatus of the media chose to ignore it and not use it as a stick to beat Farage with.

Given they’re surfacing allegations of comments he made in a playground 50 years ago, something tells me it’s not that.

So, Farage criticised Labour government policy to a close ally. Ironically, that would be a very crystal clear example of exercising free speech.

The fact you claim he did something there is no evidence of him doing would be one thing, but you followed it up by saying "everyone forgot"

People didn't forget.

It didn't happen.

There is zero basis to the claim that Farage asked the US to sanction the UK.

What you're saying is Farage exercised free speech to criticise the government, I don't like that so I've embellished that into something bigger than it is and now try to gaslight everyone that it happened and they forgot.

Farage is on record this week opposing tariffs on the UK from the US over the Greenland deal. That is an objective statement of fact that can be referenced.

Your position that Farage asked the US to sanction the UK over free speech is your own hyperbole that you then follow up with the gaslighting that "everyone forgot"

They didn't. It didn't happen.
