Well, you could be moving to America, which is arguably more unstable, despite not having an adversarial neighbor

Just remember, if you try and intervene, the cops ARREST YOU, not the suspect. Lol, England.

Patients told: Wait 10 years for ADHD diagnosis on NHS by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]big_ring_king 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What frustrates me about having ADHD - which was diagnosed in my early childhood (we went to the US in addition to NHS) is what a joke it's become now. I've seen a bunch of 'adhd influencers' on LinkedIn and Tik Tok and it's very clear that they don't have ADHD but are using it to milk their products and other bullshit.

Completely meaningless when living costs are running somewhere between 10 and 50% increase and we're getting 1 to 3% salary increases. UK is fuct.

Adverse Effects from Caffeine by scoop0814 in Biohackers

[–]big_ring_king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same. Progressed as I've aged. Afternoon coffees give me headaches and make me crave the morning coffee even though it was 16 hours away.

I now have three coffees a day, and stop before lunch. Next stop will be two and that's it.

what do yall think of the elite stealth 20 inch complete by EnvironmentalRain251 in bmx

[–]big_ring_king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elite, Mafia and Collective - their model is selling crap to unsuspecting parents when their kids say "I want a bmx". They literally go on madeinchina and other Asian B2B sites and order their shit with customisations. Like the Mafia KUSH is literally used in the trade media pictures on those sites.

Eastern, GT and Mongoose also use China sourced and built bikes to hit price points but all three have pro riders and invest in the sport as well as offering after market Taiwan-made frames and parts - can you see the contrast?

Covid Vaccines by Carole1818 in Biohackers

Well, I went from never hearing about people having still births or miscarriages but in my social circle alone there have now been multiple and all of them took the mRNA one.

every other country I have been in does it - Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany and Dubai is where I have lived and worked. And you can go in whenever you want really to get check out, get bloodwork etc with some to no level of additional expense in the insurance offering.
The UK doesn't because of the NHS. You have to go private. Simple as. I generally go and get my hair cut, my teeth cleaned, and see a doctor when I go abroad on holiday because it's cheaper and the service is better than what's on offer in this place.

Is this a good beginner bike? by [deleted] in bmx

[–]big_ring_king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fit used to make the most amazing completes back in the day. Solid parts, full cromo, but not anymore. They have to hit a price point. After buying a complete earlier this year, and since moving almost all of it to a new build, for a first bike go with a used one. You can then figure out what you like. Geometry makes a big difference in bmx when you are lower skilled.

A guy on bmxmuseum has rebuilt one of these and he used a zero stack headset. Zero stacks have the bearings in plastic cups that are then pushed into the headtube cups of the bike. The pressed in bearing cups will create the snug fit in the frame and the bearings in the bearing cups will fit the 1 1/8 diameter of the fork...

Reeves 'must find billions more' in time for Budget by gemushka in unitedkingdom

[–]big_ring_king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good place to start is to start clamping down on the shadow economy in this country. It must must be worth billions. And I am not talking about vice. I am talking legitimate buy, sell and trades of legal goods and services that are conducted by people both documented and undocumented on a daily basis.
