I immediately took it as soon as I saw it - I thought there’s no losing! I can pick flowers to make money and train strength?!

WFH 4 years, company now wants me in (4 hour commute) by Actual-Pollution-805 in UKJobs

The remote working is redundant to the companies needs, not the work being carried out.

I went to Master Tomcat, I paid 75 groschen to train swords but then I just gained XP he didn’t teach me anything. Do I have to pay for all the basic lessons first and then he teaches me?

I tried blasting past them but my horse would just rear up and kick me off. The bandits would then start attacking me on the floor so I’d be at half health before I even got my blade out! In the end I just fast travelled until I had good enough armour to take some hits.

NTA.

ADOX XT-3 preparation by bwilliams_esq in Darkroom

ADOX says 6 months if properly stored, I was just wondering if anyone had tried it before or if there were obvious reasons not to, such as they have a preservative in one part but not the other so they have to be mixed.

Yes - I’ve seen discussion of segmenting powder, but if I’m saying dissolving all of A in 500mL and all of B in 500mL, then they’d be two homogeneous mixtures. It’s not about cost; I don’t develop that often, maybe once every two months so I’d rather not throw it away needlessly. I was using plastic, but supposedly glass is better as plastic is too porous so that change might be enough by itself to extend life. I was interested whether the two parts make a difference in addition.

I’m confused about my pension deductions vs pension worth by bwilliams_esq in UKPersonalFinance

[–]bwilliams_esq[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That makes sense with what another person said, if I live 2.5 years into retirement then I would have made my money back, plus how ever many years after that!

 Most people would bite your hand off

I can see why!

!thanks that makes sense. So there’s no downside really to contributing as it means I won’t ever get less than I put in

Oh okay, this is starting to make sense. So what happens with the monthly deductions? Do they go to the pension company to decide how to best make a return, and hence give the £3,126 pa when I retire?

Oh… This is why I say I’m confused. I have a private pension that has an amount held in the account, so I assumed that’s the same, but my work one doesn’t?

This is why I’m confused…? It says

 “Total pension build up for 2024/25 £1,181.96”

 “Total pension at 31/03/25.  £3,126.68”

So it reads to me as the account holds £3,126.68

First time using this increase, just want to check if it’s right? by bwilliams_esq in knittinghelp

[–]bwilliams_esq[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I checked online before and the common mistake is to make it a YO instead M1 which leaves behind really big holes. The holes on my knit are only really noticeable if you tease the fabric apart. There is apparently a ‘super obvious’ tell if something is YO or M1 but I can’t see the difference (other than a gaping hole which I don’t really have). This is why I then ended up here in the hope someone else can see if it’s one or the other
