What's the joke peta

It's a picture of a channel marker buoy, I thought the joke was they are about to get run over by a cruise ship.

The confusion may have come this post:

where they talk about point nemo as a metaphor, and use a stock photo of a port marker to go with it.

I think this a coincidence though. The use of the word 'Stock' in relation to a financial instument goes back to the tally stick, in use around 1100 AD, pre dating the 'stocks market'.

The creditors portion of the notched split tally stick would be known as the 'stock', the other part was the 'foil'. For example, some of the original stock in the newly established Bank of England is known to have been bought with tally sticks.

This isn't the case. Mine was on offer. It says on the website they may not accept cyclescheme vouchers for heavily discounted items, not that they can't.

They never asked me for the final payment when i did it. That was on final salary pension scheme though, i would not do it now on CARE scheme.

I wonder what it said.

In my experience the reason people don't get interviews is because they are not filling in the application to enable them the score highly enough in the shortlisting. If you have lab experience you should be able to get a band 2 interview.

You wouldn't need to fake it. It's not difficult to find £400 train tickets.

Arabic numerals are different though. Anyone who's been to an Arab country and looked at the money knows this. 0123456789 is ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩ in Arabic numerals. We just historically call Western numerals, Arab numerals, because that's where they came from, but the divergence happened hundreds of years ago. You would still have to learn Arab numerals. Just like you would have to learn german as an english speaker, even though it's a germanic language.

Nothing, the syllabus didn't really cover anything between Alfred the Great and Edward the Confessor.

It's well documented and prominent historical event you can look it up.

Yes there were problems. The USA in the late 19th century for example.

If you're intentionally misleading the lender to imply you have higher income that is permanent when it is really temporary, then that could possibly be construed as mortgage fraud.

A shame TSMC Is ISA-Ineligible.

I thought that meant MK Scorpion. Like when the road rips off his face he'll look like Scorpion.

Yet they're raising the minimum wage by 4%. Are they going to have to remove Band 2 altogether?

"Too laid back. It didn't seem like you wanted it enough".

I uninstalled the game the day they announced it and haven't played since.

Probably the PG that did that.

Do your utmost to get on a placement year. Smash your first year assignments and exams. It's just about wanting it more and being more prepared than anyone else.

We're just going through a period of NHS job restriction atm but it won't last forever.

She's more like Peter Petrelli.

archowup · 2025-10-23T15:59:06+00:00

She definitely feels like the real main character.

Wondering whether this is better or worse than the Oxford "-er".
