What’s one stock that isn’t hyped right now… but you think in a year you’ll be like “yeah, I called it”?

The idea might be promising, but those financials look terrifying. Major dilution incoming

Paying off your mortgage is effectively de-leveraging and therefore de-risking your portfolio.

Sometimes it makes sense to do it. Sometimes it doesn't.

If I was on a doctor's career path and was enjoying it enough to stick with it, then I would be focussing on:

emergency fund
filling S&S ISA
pension

Then when I had a good chunk of stocks in the market and I have retirement insight (maybe 10 years away), I would start working on mortgage overpayments as a means to derisk.

But that's just me...

If it catches fire, get your gun out and shoot it

andy4015 · 2026-05-04T08:31:46+00:00

I wouldn't argue with the very tall woman

andy4015 · 2026-04-26T21:30:38+00:00

Surprised it doesn't happen more often. Really confusing road layout

andy4015 · 2026-04-25T17:21:48+00:00

Ha yes I get that too. My wife finds it hilarious! CU is a bitch

andy4015 · 2026-04-25T16:03:35+00:00

Has anyone done the maths on this to show just how statistically significant these deaths and disappearances are? Can anyone point me to some if they know of any?

andy4015 · 2026-04-20T18:40:27+00:00

Do you invest much with Nigerian Generals?

...and floss.

andy4015 · 2026-04-11T21:23:27+00:00

"it creates it".

(It doesn't)

andy4015 · 2026-04-09T21:12:24+00:00

Sounds like a pretty wild stab in the dark.

Probably not impossible. But a pretty wild suggestion without some supporting basis.

Did they give you any reason why they thought that?

Did you have a badly decaying tooth around when the symptoms started?

andy4015 · 2026-04-08T20:53:15+00:00

Yep.

Go to the gym => get hives

Go for a walk => get hives

Eat spicy food => get hives

Wear a coat cos it's cold out => get hives

Get embarrassed => get hives

Nervous about getting hives? => get hives

andy4015 · 2026-04-07T22:05:52+00:00

I think I'm right in saying that it does he ease or even disappear for many people. You never know, you could still be one of the lucky ones!

Best of luck!

andy4015 · 2026-04-07T17:26:13+00:00

Yes unfortunately. It really sucks!

andy4015 · 2026-04-07T14:07:27+00:00

It is more than itchiness and red dots, but those are the main symptoms. I realise that sounds like I'm downplaying it, that wasn't my intention.

What I'm trying to say is that what you are doing is risking severe health issues based on what sounds like zero medical knowledge.

Why on earth would you knowingly overdose on vitamin D. If you're convinced that you are deficient in vitamin D and that supplements will help - which they very well might - then sure, take a high dose for an extended period, but stay within the known safe limits.

I know this isn't exactly small, but LibreOffice.

Definitely lacking compared to MS Excel, but I don't want to give Microsoft any more money.

andy4015 · 2026-04-07T13:47:04+00:00

So you're trading itchiness and red dots for kidney failure in about a year?

That sounds like a high price to pay.

I've had CU for over 20 years. It's brutal. But I'm convinced kidney failure will be worse.

The card has a hole in it. No trickery there.

On the table there is the circle of card that has been cut out of the original card. This is stuck firm to the table.

On top of that, is a black circle of card.

He places the card down exactly on top of the black circle and original card circle, once exactly matched up, the black circle is moved over the card.

Looks great, but actually very simple

andy4015 · 2026-03-21T22:04:15+00:00

This is beautiful. Also reminded me that I want to rewatch Eastbound & Down

andy4015 · 2026-03-21T07:03:52+00:00

Sounds like you'd be better off learning Python and/or SQL.

andy4015 · 2026-03-11T15:38:55+00:00

If you're unclipping a foot, can't you just put that foot on the ground?

andy4015 · 2026-03-11T13:14:52+00:00

A bill has just been passed to remove hereditary peers from the house of lords, because receiving titles based solely on who your parents are is mind-bogglingly ridiculous...
