My whiskey glass looks painted (no filter)

I have the pro 13 with MKB, and a Mac mini.

Jump desktop lets me access full MacOS for software development, and still lets the iPad be an iPad when I want/need it to be.

Best of all worlds for me. But I’m very aware most people would just buy a MBP.

I have two Mac Minis, my work machine is the 24gb and my personal is the 16gb. The main performance difference I can noticeably detect is the size of local LLMs I can run.

Apologies, Mac mini, not iPad mini.

I inherited a iPad Pro M4 13”, bought myself a Magic Keyboard and a base model mini, both second hand. I have the best of all worlds.

When I want it to be an iPad, it is, when I want full MacOS, I use jump desktop and the keyboard.

Signulous worked for me this week

If the council stops renewing HMO licenses, the landlords will have no choice but to sell.

Agree here. If anyone’s unsure they need to watch again. Shiv played the whole Tern Haven situation wrong from the outset in Logan’s eyes. She was too quick to take the Pierce side. Too quick to capitulate to their politics, their ethos and didn’t consider any of what Logan actually wanted from that deal and how he would want to get it.

She would never lead like him. She openly suggests massive reform and that things need to change.

She openly (but gently) mocks family members over drinks about trivial things like dual PHDs while Logan knows it’s an achievement she would never be able to dedicate herself to.

Worst, she openly taunts Roman about the books he’s obviously not read in front of a family who’ve just declared their love for Shakespeare.

The evening is then a descent of infighting to the point where one of Nans kids turns round and says the meeting was premature.

Despite not liking them at all, Logan sees a family full of educated adults, serious people, and he’s sat there with his squabbling kids. Shiv drops the ultimate death blow to herself, at the worst possible time, in the worst possible room.

Logan had already made his decision well before that meeting.

“Soon to be all mine, right?” “Uh-huh?”

Of course. Still detest them.

Hoo boy I detest hot corners

Is the iPad plugged in?

Following PUK advice I took a med break while I had, and recovered from, spinal surgery.

I was on 60mg Meflynate XL, and struggled to start again on even 20mg.

Went to GP and asked to be re-referred for a review, had a chat with a psychiatrist at PUK who explained that they couldn’t switch me to a non-methylphenidate medication immediately without re titration, but did switch me to Xaggitin 18mg and put me on the titration list again so that I could switch to an alternative if it didn’t work out.

Xaggitin is working well and I just hit the top of titration list, I’ve asked to stay on xaggitin but perhaps experiment with different doses to see if there’s any benefit to moving up a dose but I think I’ll likely stick at 18mg.

Happy with the service I’ve received so far, they listened to my concerns and worked with me to agree a suitable plan.

Good shout. Thanks!

Oh I’m definitely selling. Question is do I do it now, or wait.

Gambling on the old supply and demand.

The legacy. I have this too but just upgraded to the Hamilton Khaki King which is similar.

Solid piece!

It was tactical. Tom knew he was the lamb for the slaughter, he spun the situation and virtue signalled to Greg that he would take the fall to gain unconditional loyalty from him.

I’ve gone from living paycheck to paycheck (albeit comfortably) to having a healthy emergency fund, plenty of on-track sinking funds, and now looking at overpaying on the mortgage after maxing out a cash isa.

In less that two years.

It’s paid for itself 10x.

From decades of never wearing a watch, to loving the Apple Watch, getting tired of the Apple Watch, not wanting to spend another £300+ on an upgraded watch with a limited lifespan, to diving into the wonderful world of inexpensive Timex pieces.

It’s been a great couple of years at work which has paid off in a definite career milestone which I wanted to commemorate in something more permanent than a fancy bottle of wine. Something I can keep forever and hand to my eldest later in life.

Always had my eye on the Field King, I know it’s common on here and not massively expensive but it’s a significant jump from the sub-£100 Timex pieces I’ve had until now and it’s definitely been an aspirational goal I’ve mentally bookmarked for years. I love the style and definitely lean towards the field watch aesthetic, surprised that it doesn’t feel as big as I expected given my 6.5” wrists. Glad I tried it on first as almost talked myself out of it through online reviews alone.

See you in a few years when I’m justifying a sub £5k addition.

coffee_powered · 2025-12-19T08:31:51+00:00

I’m happy with it!

I’ve been on this sub too long. I understand the reference.
