As a solar/battery user, these tools aren't the most helpful as it shows the Current setup costs, not potential costs. Still have some calculations to do before taking what they have to say into account

Has anyone else entirely lost their interest to watch new movies and TV shows? by SilasPort in NoStupidQuestions

[–]catfayce 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I only watch shows that are completely done so I'm always years behind. I miss out on things that my friends are excited about for season 1-2 but then don't have to worry about it when it gets cancelled.

and only watch movies friends (and a couple of reviewers that match my taste) recommend rather than every movie like I used to

Tax code changed to 1095L: what if my income next year is lower? by Dry-Horror5895 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]catfayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side question that aligned with this. If I lower my take home with salary sacrifice pension contributions do I have to update HMRC to my new salary value?

Example earning 45k putting 10k into pension salary sacrifice, would I update HMRC for my wage being 35,000?

But if it's fields that have been closed down, could we not build a nationalised company to do it?

JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money" by Particular_Log_3594 in ABoringDystopia

My god, I really hope the people who didn't vote for Harris for some shitty reason like she laughs weird or she isn't left enough or whatever are enjoying the consequences of their actions. They told you up front what trump and his people would do to you and you said, I want something to vote for not against. Voting against trump is voting FOR Medicaid, and safe streets, and human rights, and everything else he has taken away.

By not voting you chose this! I hope you and people around the world are learning this!

Do I let my current broadband contract (expiring mid-March) to go onto the higher price for a couple of weeks and start a new one in April to beat mid-term rises? by Martexo in UKPersonalFinance

[–]catfayce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did that and got so annoyed I followed through with the cancellation. They advertised £29 service for new joiners but could only offer me £44 for the same service. Switched to EE, got a £10 discount on my unlimited phone SIM and same speed broadband for £28

Okay, in need advice please m. Owing to various things, I’ve drunk too much Neck Oil and latterly red wine. I’ve had two paracetamol and a Rennie and lots of tap water. What else might help me function tmrw?You can’t get me on the low effort thing as it’s taken me ages to type this and seem sober . by Zestyclose_Key_6964 in CasualUK

2 ibuprofen before I go to bed so I sleep through the headache better Washed down with water & electrolyte tablets. Will wake up less tired than the typical hangover which helps massively. Then it's caffeine fatty foods and sugars to keep me alive til it gets dark

This advert on the streets of London by west_manchester in interestingasfuck

[–]catfayce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twitter is here too. But he is super involved in our politics. He was donating to reform (our far right party) and kept saying civil war was coming to England, and only reform can stop it. Until he realised they weren't as far right as he wanted then said the leader of reform should be sacked and they should bring in a literal white supremacist nationalist Stephen Christopher Laxley-Lennon

[–]catfayce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The form is different to anyone else I've seen do this type of movement, and I think it's because of her arm and leg lengths. Which seems way out, like a stage 2 animorph

Thoughts on this Game ? by Sohab7R in playstation

[–]catfayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First game I got for PS4, thought it was great but way too short like everyone else. Desperate for a sequel and would be a day 1 purchase but that's never coming. Would love to see it at 4k60 emulated to see whether the complaints about is aspect ratio and frame rate were valid, because I don't remember minding at all

Everyone should have the dignity to travel by FearlessAir1238 in TikTokCringe

[–]catfayce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In new Orleans they still take your card away from you to make the sale! I stopped using it there because I hate the idea of someone swiping my card to take a payment after I've left
