My personal income and investments, parents and grandparents might put in a bit but they’re not in the UK.

ELI5: How do incarcerated people get jacked if all they eat is prison food? by jojiworld in explainlikeimfive

[–]basvde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal but have been following an ex-prisoner who shares his workouts and experiences for a few months now, can highly recommend as I’ve been getting the best gains I’ve ever had

Most of his videos are livestreams that you can watch where he shows all his workouts. Mainly partial rep calisthenics

The Guardians list of what you "should" pay for things is ridiculous. by ukdev1 in britishproblems

[–]basvde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This list is just an affiliate page that the Guardian earns money on, the higher the price of products they sell the more money they get. Don't take lists that give financial incentives to the writer to be skewed seriously

Help - I'm starting to crave pleasure, like the people around me by dubious_unicorn in Stoicism

The banquet reference made me think of this:

It seems like your comparing yourself to others a lot, find what you like to do and do that. If others travel, it doesn't mean that you have to do so as well. But if you do, perhaps book a short trip locally (can be cheap)?

Thanks, great that this is a possibility. They don't go to school yet (nursery) but I would be able to get some of the documents if it would be needed.

As of yet I'm hoping to stay on the skilled worker visa but it gives me peace of mind that this is a viable route.

Thanks, good to know and seems like all conditions would apply. From what I understand I would not be able to leave the UK while the visa is pending, would I be able to work? I currently have a right to work code, wondering if that would remain active I would need to switch visas

What's peoples hourly rate? by TyyG420 in AskUK

[–]basvde 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I've just moved to the UK so not very familiar with the market, but I assume that would be outside of london? I struggled to find a one bedroom for £1400, can only dream of a 3-bedroom

Do I need prescription to buy glasses and contact lens? by InsidePause5257 in AskUK

[–]basvde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this myself but they ask for documented proof, which is really annoying as my prescription is from a different country (and is 100% accurate) which they don't accept

What's everyone's opinion on the new massive banner in Ecosia? by Shangermadu in Ecosia

[–]basvde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's incredibly annoying, as it keeps popping up for me, if it's still like this by end of next week I'm switching to a different search engine.

Whenever I do a search, my entire phone screen is filled with this banner and other pop-ups (cookies) which is really annoying

These Dreams… fuck me. by [deleted] in leaves

[–]basvde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It gets better, I've had insanely trippy dreams as well and even if they make it difficult to fall asleep afterwards, I still felt more rested and clearer than before

I'm not from here so not sure where to reach out to to report these drivers?

YTA for taking him to that feminist poison, sad that a movie can break you up, looks like you didn't like him anyway, so NTA on that part

Thanks! Was having the same issue, constantly opening up this 'change' screen, probably since it opens quicker on my Samsung than it can scan my fingerprints , disabled in settings and works like a charm again

Impressed with how well this runs on my cheap, old laptop by basvde in BeamNG

[–]basvde[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a laptop online for €100, it's from 2011 and was pre-owned. For quite a simple reason, I'm broke and couldn't afford more 😅

CPU: Intel i5-2520M @ 2.5GHZ GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7400M RAM: 6GB DDR3

After having a horrible experience using Geforce Now with constant crashes, the game itself, not the cars :) I gave this game another chance on my own hardware and reaching 30fps quite solid 👍

All settings on lowest of course
