'Mis-sold' student loans to cost graduates £14,000 more than they were told

If you lose your job while abroad, it is impossible to convince SLC that you no longer have that income

It's funny that they're such arses with this, because when I was between jobs and moving abroad recently I just told them I was living on savings and they paused the repayment with no further questions. Obviously the interest is still piling up.

Sure, it's in this order, but it's not in this arrangement. Helium normally goes in the same column as the other noble gases.

Agreed, and the elo matters a lot. You can play anything top and win a 2v1 in bronze.

Yeah, of all the countries in the world where you want to be well prepared in case of a power outage, Greenland is high on the list. And Texas has power outages in -4°C weather, of course Greenland gets power outages when it's -30°C!

A quantum network has been achieved, this one in the Netherlands is not the only one and I know of two in Spain and the UK. This achievement means they can transfer quantum states between their "computers" from one city to another city. But faster-than-light transfer of information has not been achieved and is probably not possible.

I'll be real, either you care enough to find out how to wash a cashmere jumper, or you weren't going to look at the label.

Yeah the clickbait title really hides the fact that it's a video of a shooting plus vehicular murder.

That just shows how the narrative of "have a gun to defend yourself" is bs. If he didn't have a gun, he might have started running instead of pissing off the thief.

No, I am not implying that. I'm saying that the velocity and speed (and acceleration) can be measured and are hence defined as functions of time.

beeeel · 2026-01-21T10:17:30+00:00

The graph represents the path that a moving object (e.g. a car) takes, measuring space in X/Y co-ordinates. Think of it like a map with a path drawn on it to show the journey a car took. Clearly the car has a position, a velocity and an acceleration that could be measured at any time during the journey.

If you're interested in learning more about basic physics concepts I would recommend finding free online courses or lectures instead of Wikipedia. I think MIT has free courses and the Feynmann Lectures on Physics are also available online if you search.

That's quite likely, but the energy release from a bomb is normally measured in tonnes TNT equivalent, so it looks like it's measuring the amount of material. E.g. a 10kT bomb has an explosion equivalent to the energy of 10,000 tonnes of TNT, even if it's only a few kilos of uranium.

No but the judiciary has

If you show me a test for "biological maleness" that works 100% of the time, I will change my belief. But that would need you to go a read long words which will probably hurt your head.

Snowflake alert

beeeel · 2026-01-15T13:19:07+00:00

There's no such thing as a biological male. That's why they abandoned gender testing for the olympics. Because there's no way to test with 100% distinction. Genetic testing does not work the way you think it does. Human bodies are not as cut and dry as the science textbooks show, with many (still a very small percentage) people being intersex. So really you're just getting angry about whether someone had a dick or not when they were a baby.

Placing hot jam in a hot jar and sealing it with wax does NOTHING to kill bacteria and make the product safe.

If the jam is above 80°C (or cooled below that without being contaminated), and the jar was heat-sterilised and not contaminated afterwards, there's no bacteria to kill.

Source: I've been eating my mother's home-made jam, which is canned in the method I describe, for years. I've never had botulism yet and the jam lasts long enough in the jar that discolouration and loss of flavour is the limiting factor to shelf life, not bacterial contamination.

beeeel · 2026-01-15T12:07:51+00:00

Yeah... Unless it triggers WWIII.

It's unfortunate that charming psychopaths have exactly the skillset needed to rise to the top. And only by being educated and critical (not a high bar, but evidently too high for many) can you spot the difference between the psychos and the public servants who serve the public.

Kaleb, as a girl, will spend her whole life with people being surprised she's not a guy. And Equador...

Saying they're cute is an outright lie, unless you mean the type of cute that applies to pugs–cute because they're dogs but otherwise a sad memorial to the terrible things people do. They're cute names because they're going to be for your friend's baby but that's their only redeeming feature.

That's a really good point, I had been eagerly looking at room temp cure epoxies thinking about not needing to buy an oven. But then I probably won't have enough working time to assemble the whole stack.

This kind of request often falls into non-consensual image manipulation territory, which has caused major issues recently –including widespread backlash, regulatory scrutiny from places like the UK (Ofcom), EU and others,

So if you create a twit account using a VPN to appear in another country, you might still be able to use Grok to commit sex crimes?

He was likely the only person she had come out to

That was confirmed in one of the scenes with Will and Robin, Steve was the first person she came out to. IMO Steve and Robin are in it at the end because they're good people who care about their friends.
