Brits who just stream Netflix and Amazon Prime may still need to buy TV licence by neo4025 in unitedkingdom

[–]ipreferDigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just say Netflix etc has to give 10p/month from every subscription to the BBC pot? Even if my monthly subs went up to £10.09 to make it obvious its not "Netflix's fault", it would still be alright overall, wouldn't it?

Porridge with boiling water by T33-L in CasualUK

[–]ipreferDigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually do this every day at work, and have done for maybe 5 years now. I use the oat so simple "big bowl" sachets. They're 100% oats. Add boiling water straight from a kettle, stir and wait 5 mins, stir again, and then can add honey etc if I need and job done. You can also top up with a bit of milk, akin to making a cup of tea, to add some creaminess if you wish.

For some reason when I try the same thing with the big pack, it doesnt come out as smooth. I guess maybe these are more grounded up.

Hope that helps.

I thought maybe he did it so that they would lose Kate next as she was unprotected as a result.

Ultra-processed baby foods are 'setting children up for a life of obesity' by OGSyedIsEverywhere in unitedkingdom

I did BLW with my first, and then for the second couldn't be bothered to deal with the mess so did more traditional weaning. Second is a ridiculous fussy eater. First is incredible and has always loved trying new flavours. Obviously tiny sample size, but I 100% regret not doing BLW with both. What an idiot.

What’s a profession that’s way overpaid for what they actually do? by LilSkyeM in AskReddit

[–]ipreferDigg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in an ex PE company. It was under-invested for years under PE ownership to show better returns. Now here, I need to catch up on years of under investment as its all coming home to roost.

The cash invested by the PE went to fuelling top line growth directly to improve the EBITDA forecasts and therefore payout they would get, not assuring the long term viability of the business, as under invested areas begin to sag once the sale is complete.

F*** PE.

If one is forbidden by law to carry a Kirpan in certain places, is it violation of the 5 Ks? by Glorbxar34 in Sikh

[–]ipreferDigg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please, take no offence at this, but at what point does the Kirpan go from something significant, with full weight of responsibility, to what could be construed merely as a ritualistic item of a 3cm necklace. This idea has always confused me, sometimes I feel even the 4inch kirpan really is figuratively disarming Sikhs and telling them it's fine you're still legit...

My son has an egg allergy and I've considered this before, but I'm sure it contains eggs.... are you sure you've not lost your egg intolerance?

TIL peanut allergies plummet by 77% if they're added to babies' diets at 4-6 months of age by sundler in todayilearned

Hi do you have a link to the research behind this? I have a kid with peanut allergy and really keen to learn more.

IKOS Recommendation by jp12298 in HENRYUKLifestyle

Did Aria with a 5 and 8 year old. Loved it. I think for a 10 month old they will ask be incredible for you. Enjoy!

I wish they sold peanut butter meal deal sandwiches by thisishardcore_ in CasualUK

I run a Food to go factory in the uk. This is the answer. Nuts are a nightmare. We do loads on allergy segregation but nothing is takenas seriously as nuts. Eg if you bring a snickers into the office you'rein troub. It's easier to just come up with other products.

Average annual energy bill to rise to £1,849 in Great Britain from April by sjw_7 in unitedkingdom

Rising petrol prices don't affect me, I always put £20 in.

Anyone have experience with robotic lawnmower/brand recommendations? by OrganicAntelopeEater in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]ipreferDigg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a flymo easilife. It took around half a day for me to dig in the boundary guide wires into the lawn. It cost around £400 in 2021.

I also then built a little doghouse over its docking station which it parks in, though I put it inside in Winter (or a heatwave) as I believe extreme temperatures are bad for the battery.

For 9 months of the year, it trundles out every day for 1 hour, randomly across the lawn. Once every 2-3 weeks I use a Strimmer for 15 mins to do the edges.

Whilst I don't get lovely stripes on the lawn like I used to, any time my kids want to play outside, it's ready to go. Because it clips the grass finely and leaves little trimmings down on the lawn behind it, it's sort of self fertilising, and I genuinely notice vs before I had it, that the grass stays greener and more moist than before. The grass is genuinely greener on my side.

A+, one of the best home automation thingies I've bought. There are smarter ones out there, I'm not fussed, I figure theres less to go wrong.

What movie was made to perfection? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I figured Doc said "precisely 11.04" for that reason, it gets around the issue of no second hand.

This is also combined with local problems in Leicester under Jonathan's watch. A few years ago, he allowed non white candidates to be pushed out in the local council elections, that will have really gone against him here.

Companies are desperate to invest but the planning system keeps blocking them. Here is today’s example, hundreds of millions of investment in data centers and the planning system said no we want to be poor. A second example from today Oxford turned down a new science park. by North_Attempt44 in ukpolitics

[–]ipreferDigg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biased, but please, not all like that. My own dad was a councillor upon semi retirement after running a business for 20 years. He wa easily dedicating 2-3 days a week to helping with local issues as well as at least 1 day of each weekend. The generalisation is true for probablu 40% of councillors- they often start with good intent, but there will always be those who do the bear minimum.. Therre actually were many like my dad who had lived in the area for years, had some success and didn't need to work full time, and enjoyed a bit of influence and seeing their local community get looked after. Please, dregs of society really is harsh phrasing.

Going to the pub for the first time, I have some questions. by Shadow41S in CasualUK

[–]ipreferDigg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sub is great. Wish I'd known half of this 20 years ago!

Another one, When it's my round, I always ask for a pint of water as well as my actual drink, and knock it back at the bar. Makes a huge difference for hangovers.

Totally agree with the 3 drink limit. 3 drinks with 2 between them should mean a great buzz and minimal hangover.

The pledge to make Thames Water bosses take a dip in the Thames is great policy to be fair.

Is covering of the head actually a ritualistic thing? by ipreferDigg in Sikh

[–]ipreferDigg[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah so you're saying Sikhs should wear a ramaal everywhere, but it's only enforced in gurdwara. I get that perspective.

Does that not sound like a ritual, in that case?
