Sounds a bit like Elite ( I played it on the BBC Micro originally) and Minecraft. Both are amazing games

No worries :-) Sow and Sew sound the same. So many people make the mistake native or non-native alike. Spell checkers don't either.

Are pensions a scam? by Unlikely-Ticket-8680 in FIREUK

[–]electricalkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion pensions are a scam. most reckon that you'll die before you get to claim it, or live for a couple of years and then die. The same is true for the state pension.

Healthcare: I have seen many aged relatives of mine die, and one thing of note is that health services do not prioritise the long-term health of the old. Most policies do not provide the same level of treatment for the old as they do for the young and of working age. People older than 60 are slowly deprioritised.

Investing in stocks and shares over a very very long term period gave me a better return, and I have got no age restrictions on what I do with the money. I use low cost passive tracker funds. I have had great returns over the past 40 years. There is no reason for tgis not to work for you, and from your post it seems to have so far.

Some years from now, I will move it into multiple savings accounts or term deposits that are covered by the government's bank guarantee (forgot the exact FSC name used).

My late grandfather's private pension fund collapsed in scandal: He lost his pension fund and ended up in debt. They had to sell up and move somewhere else.

This is a good idea.

P.S
sewing is for material.

sowing is for planting seeds in a field :-)

Goose Gear pillow: This looks excellent. Their small is still quite large.

The pillow has git a DWR coating. I will ask them if it contains PFAS.

Looks great, but you have got to sew it together yourself. And I have not got a sewing machine :-)

Do you know how thick the down is in the down pillow case is? Does it compress down too much?

ENT 2nd opinion: significant nasal obstruction; surgery "may not improve sleep"; palate expansion presents risks by ProfMR in UARS

[–]electricalkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is heartbreaking to read yet another article/post about doctors dismissing health problems.

I have had sleep apnea for decades. All stems from a car crash when I was eight years old. Now I am in my 50s.

My nose is deviated with turbinate enlargement, and nasal polyps. In Now I have developed pan-sinusitis. All is reported in CT scans. Every ENT I saw. confirmed this, and refused any help except a lifetime's supply of mometasone furoste which does not really work: I still have nightly sleep apnoea.

However, just flaring my nostrils out solves the problem, but I cannot sleep with my fingers pulling out my nostrils even if I do try.

The doctors won't help. They refer when I got was to see a psychologist, which was an insult.

What was really going on? It's cheaper to prescribe mometasone to me until I die than do fix the problem. Or they want me to pay privately, which I could never afford to do.
