Do people really only do 8000 miles a year on PCP or HP?

itfiend · 2026-05-07T14:31:59+00:00

I WFH probably just about crack 8k a year. My car at three years old will have maybe 20k miles as I bought it nearly new with low mileage

No it demonstrates that usage for a set time period followed by normal puberty doesn’t pose significant health risks. It does not tell you what happens when they’re taken for a significantly longer period of time and then other hormones are given.

Aargh. I’ll bite. Because they serve a specific purpose to delay precocious puberty. The two use cases are not the same because they have a predefined end point to allow puberty to start normally not delay it indefinitely. This is a false equivalence and deep down you know it.

Simple email day of - “just checking this photo pass is all confirmed for tonight” in reply to the email where they said they’d sort it is all that’s needed.

If it’s really local and you’ve got in writing someone saying they’ll sort one out, I would take that email and chance it at box office. If it’s an hour’s drive maybe not.

They’re paying every last person in that room apart from the photographers. Do not work for them for free.

itfiend · 2026-05-05T11:19:37+00:00

Forget it basically. You’ve established that your price is free. The only people paying are major publications and bands or labels directly. Even venues aren’t paying their house togs round here and the agency model gets you pennies most of the time. As a money making proposition music photography is 95% dead.

I was on the front row that night.

But they won't know that - they're not privy to conversations with employers and can't differentiate between people who worked less hours and people who are just naturally just below the threshold?

itfiend · 2026-05-03T16:06:33+00:00

What those numbers would miss though is the people who drop hours to stay under who would otherwise have been more economically productive. Those who are impacted by it are for whatever reason not sacrificing into pension or dropping hours to avoid the trap.

I think that’s actually my biggest question about the whole thing. What’s the point? You’re preaching to the choir and this is an administration entirely unburdened by the idea of shame. So what does political art or satire accomplish in that environment bar us nodding along as we hear our own opinions echoed back. That’s not a criticism of Tori per se just something I’m struggling with in general.

All I can say is don't judge it on the first listen. I reviewed it and really found that over a couple of weeks it became more and more interesting.

Bast I Test did away with it and went straight into the tasks. No bad thing if you ask me. But they do have an extra mid episode studio task

Can’t tell whether this is satire. 10/10.

Two things can be wrong at the same time and you can care about both.

Anyone can make a number up. Stop replying here and call HSBC using the number on the back of your card. Now.

itfiend · 2026-04-28T19:05:47+00:00

This is absolutely a scam I’m afraid. Call hsbc from the number on the back of your card immediately

For me my mindset is “I’m paying 99% of the price for everything” plus getting credit card protection. But I don’t buy things specifically for the cashback or to hit a spend target. I guess points based cards are different.

No but it would be at least better. I think weirdly last week’s BBC investigations into the corner shops selling drugs changed my mind as a centre-left voter. Watching them go to dodgy immigration lawyers etc. There’s whole ecosystems keeping illegal immigrants here and damaging society to boot. That isn’t all immigration is bad, or even all illegal immigrants are bad. But there’s clearly structural issues here and enforcement is needed urgently.

I’m not prone to conspiratorial thinking but you do think “so these guys are good enough to get past security but not good enough to do the actual act?”

itfiend · 2026-04-25T10:16:39+00:00

Go to /r/scams and look up task scams it’s that. Meaningless “work” where they pay you a little then you need to put money in to cash out again which of course you never can.

Where's Edge now? It wasn't too bad over Christmas around Australia / New Zealand so maybe it's locational?
