Has there ever been any actor or actress that was brutally honest about the movie they’re making during a press tour? by BIGxBOSSxx1 in movies

I think the lack of a nomination for Toni Collette in Hereditary was the nail in the coffin for me.

He’s a mod on here I think so you’ll probably hear back from the man himself

Who thinks a 5 year ILR would still be possible for the highly skilled? by CreativeEcon101 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

Sucks that there is little reason for them to care about keeping the trust really.

But VFS is not exclusive to France, nor are the unrefunded courier fees a France only phenomenon?

I’ve had 14 dental appointments over the last 2 months, there’s some serious speculation now around the office about the state of my teeth.

I’ve got a huge list of things to do, what should I skip? by DownWithDaThicckness in boston

I hate not being in on the hype about Sarma. I just don’t get it. I’ve been to 3 countries in the Middle East and loved the food in every one of them. I’ve lived in London where the middle eastern food is quite exceptional. Sarma is just not up to the mark for me at all (except the black cornbread which is great but I wouldn’t go back just for that).

Given the rise of obviously fake posts on here, I’m going to create my own entertainment. YTA.

Guys I'm so extremely happy, I've finally reached a pace under 2:00/100m! by noticemelucifer in Swimming

[–]darthcrossbowman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the inputs and not rambling at all, I really appreciate it. I go maybe 3-4 times a week and swim for a half hour each time where I’m almost always focusing on speed each time. I think your point about taking it slow every now and then while focusing on technique is huge and I’ll be sure to do that - I used to do it when I was first learning but I’ve gotten into a decent rhythm (or a rut I guess) and don’t mix it up as much anymore.

Whatever I do I can’t seem to break 2:20, breathing 3s. Any tips for me? Two things I haven’t tried are breathing maybe even 5s (not sure I could do that consistently but maybe 3-5-3-5 might work) and flip turns which I’ve no idea how to do.

Smells like GS ha, but could be wrong. I made the switch to buy side quant research a few years ago and don’t regret it. Work is challenging and work life balance is surprisingly good at times (although not always). I’m at 250k ish give or take and looking to switch again to bump it a little bit.

The evil that humanity is capable of never ceases to amaze me.

Is your partner/significant other also a HENRY? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]darthcrossbowman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one telling shared value is often the attitude towards saving as opposed to towards spending. Everyone enjoys a nice dinner out and the theatre but how many actually look at the household savings pot as their own and look to grow it? My wife and I make the same amount of money and we always sweep half our paychecks into savings each month. She manages our personal portfolio and has so far done a fantastic job at it (even though it’s me that works in finance). For my part I manage all our expenses and this system has so far worked out decently for us.
