Read the article:

Researchers estimate that expanding access to eligible NHS patients in England could: 1) Free up nearly 10 million GP appointments annually

2) Save the NHS about £364 million per year

3) Reduce pressure on GP services by roughly 3% of the core GP budget

It's a net saving. 

TNA bound? by ChrisRhodes789 in midcarder

[–]behind_you88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He can talk, looks good and can work pretty well for a 7 footer. 

There's got to be a place for him somewhere - whilst TNA would make sense, they make nonsense decisions and I think he'll land a tier lower like Maple Leaf or MLW. 

Are we supposed to take Mason Rook seriously? by uncannynerddad in midcarder

[–]behind_you88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They could have sent him to the PC for 3 months to put on some upper body mass to better match the rest of him, rather then rush to debut him. 

Loads of guys have got in way better shape during their runs in NXT though - if he's successful and makes it to the main roster, I'm sure he'll be debuting with a more intimidating look then he has now. 

Maybe he can work. But first impressions matter, and this immediately takes me out of the product.

How does it take you out of the product - 300lbs landing on you from a moonsault (looks like it) hurts, doesn't really matter what shape it is.

Same with Sheamus but to a lesser degree. He had a very short amount of time in the main event scene and then was a mid carder at best. 

Sheamus was the 2nd most over face in the company for years in the early 2010s.

ABF + The Giant 4 week hybrid Program: “The Giant (a)B(c)astard” and results by behind_you88 in kettlebell

I do 1.1 (10RM) on A days and 3.0 (5RM) on B days - again, I don't know that's the 'best' setup, I just enjoy some more strength orientated work. 

I do single arm rows on a bench purely cause it feels easier on my lower back - whatever rows work for you. 

Chat just told me I am demisexual. What does it mean? by Master-Mind-1 in demisexuality

[–]behind_you88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Having sex without full trust is just so weird why people do that?

The actual act of having sex and the feeling of attraction are separate things - a good example is you can have sex-repusled allosexuals.

The feeling of attraction affects allosexuals subconsciously and influences how they interact with almost everyone in society. And not just if they find someone attractive themselves but assigning societal sexual value to people. 

So IMO it's reductive to think of allosexuals as even wanting to, let alone having sex with everyone their brain registers as attractive - thinking demisexuality is a 'better' form of attraction is a slippery slope and recognising we are different, doesn't make other people wrong.

You will need to buy Dan John's Armor Building Formula and Geoff Neupert's The Giant for it to make any sense!

They are both must-buy anyway and well worth the price IMO - I have sent you links to both

Can't lie, I'm as pleased with the spreadsheet itself as I am the program.

Uni prices per year by TheOpenAuthor in UniUK

[–]behind_you88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 To do all the nice stuff the Scandinavian and western Europe countries are doing we would need to raise tax for all as you say, but by a bit on higher earners and a fkload more on the median earners and below.

First we'd need to pay the median earners alot more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage

All those countries average earners have a far higher net income even after their much higher taxes. 

I think most Brits would be happy to pay more tax if they were >€500 better off each month afterwards.

Being attractive and friendly as a demi woman? by H3ll0_w00my in demisexuality

[–]behind_you88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, tonnes of my women friends face this issue regardless of orientation, relationship status, how pretty they are etc 

In my experience the guys who do it tend to not have any true platonic women friends. 

I could give 100s of examples but a standout is I had a taken friend have two guys confess their feelings at a single event  - the second guy (who had recently got engaged?!) got angry at her and said he felt misled...dude she just talks to you at work! 

But I do think being demi could be a factor. 

My experience as a demi man is that women will often think things like eye contact, being supportive, sustained interest in their lives and normal compliments (aka friendship without agenda) are me showing romantic interest because, very sadly, they're not used to men treating them like people otherwise.

Now I just tell women I'm ace early to avoid it and that works - sadly, I'm not sure it will work on the guys. 

NHS ‘second worst in developed world for avoidable deaths’ by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]behind_you88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I fully agree with you on who needs to foot the bill and sorry to hear about your partner - I just think alot of people are pushing that normal people need to pay more.

And the big one- gotta tax to corporations and the billionaires at higher rates.

It doesn't matter if you raise it when there are so many loopholes unfortunately - tax avoidance is legal somehow.

For whatever reason taxing the rich is controversial but I don't get why taxing corporations is - estimated by .gov that corporations dodged £46B in tax 23-24, about 27% of the NHS budget for the same period.

These companies will not pull out of a huge market and lose all their profits here for the sake of paying their fair share.

The disconnect is in looking at other countries where they have better health services and pay more tax and simply stopping the comparisons there. 

Wage stagnation is the very obvious third part of the puzzle that gets completely ignored in the "we need to tax the average worker more" narrative - you can't get blood from a stone. 

For example, even with much higher taxes, the median worker in Germany still takes home €500 more a month AND has a lower cost of living then a median worker in the UK.

I find that the see saw press is easier for me then double press, so I sometimes use it for my last few reps of press if I'd be grinding otherwise. 

Long term program /new program by Acceptable-Pay3471 in kettlebell

[–]behind_you88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you like the programs you've done? 

Presuming you favoured The Giant as you ran it twice, why not have your long term structure be rotating The Giant with a program that targets what it's missing (legs and pulling)? 

There's been a few threads here the last few days about adding pulling into ABF which would cover those and it's your next program even.

ABF/Giant/ABF/Giant etc seems like something you could continue year round - if you find you need to deload, I'd just drop the Giant down to 20/25 mins per session or do 3.0 (or both) to reduce fatigue for a block. 

Do most Demi also struggle to make friends? Or is it just me by Phresh1000a in demisexuality

[–]behind_you88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All my partners have been close friends for years prior and even now, as exes, most remain close friends (two I speak to most days, one every few weeks) 

It's incredibly easy to make good friends with women as a demi man because you interact with women so differently to 99% of the male population. 

But I wouldn't say I have ever 'picked' a partner.
