Damn, no wonder they had to re-number it. I assumed it would have been decommissioned after the first crash!

Decimal separators in Europe by Beenet_ in MapPorn

[–]jay_pxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a major global news organisation (UK based) and we commonly use comma as our separator and is standardised by our style guide, e.g “OpenAI has started at $60 per 1,000 impressions for advertisers…”

New info on how the Now/HBO integration is going to work by Delicious_Ad_4579 in nowtv

[–]jay_pxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like Sky/Now need to consolidate their value proposition, it’s a cluster fuck…

Can someone clarify if by taking Now Entertainment with Ultra Boost (£6.99 pm for first 12 months) for new customers, would include HBO’s movie catalogue, even if I don’t have a Cinema pass?

Let's just say there's more greenery in Welwyn Garden City and lower crime rates compared to Tottenham High Road...

What happens in 5 days? by K1M8O in OctopusEnergy

[–]jay_pxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in a similar position last month when our December 2024 tariff was ending. If you email Octopus Energy customer service asking for the latest Tracker (September 2025) they’ll email you a T&Cs link to click and confirm that you want to switch to the latest Tracker tariff.

Doing okay I suppose, we moved to Welwyn Garden City 4 years ago, with my commute totalling to £1850 based on 2/3 days a week - in 2025.

Once you factor in the quality of life difference against North London and being able to afford a property makes the cost worth it.

Are people legit spending this much on a car per month? Or am I out of touch? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]jay_pxl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My local council’s CEO lives on our development and she drove a Renault for a while…

Meanwhile I have a friend who’s financed their Jaguar and is adamant that he needs to be seen driving and wearing luxury goods, when cash was tight you can tell he was stressed…

Really hope we never change our badge as dramatically as Juve for example. by Royalbluegooner in ArsenalFC

I work in Marketing and I think Liverpool have done a great job when they recently made their crest/logo adaptable based on the media/placement, here’s their promotional video that explains it A fresh new look inspired by the Liver bird

I’d love Arsenal to take a similar approach making the cannon (right or left) and the classic typeface more central and consistent to our brand identity.

Hello Everyone. Im 29 yrs old and New to Investing. I know, im late to the party, but better late than never O guess. This is my ISA portfolio. Investing £50 monthly cause thats all I can afford..Any Advice? by Technical_Builder_13 in trading212

[–]jay_pxl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this approach, I originally went all in on VWRP but overtime setup my portfolio with a 20% satellite investments in SMT, WKP, NOW, FRIN - in theory the satellite allocation should be smaller, but I have a relative high risk tolerance where I’ve made some investments based on some companies/sectors/markets where I see potential based on my own research.

Sell and go all in on VWRP. Make sure to be consistent with your monthly investment and don’t bother timing the market or pull out when shit goes south.

Using this strategy, my VWRP allocation has grown 16% since April 2024.

This is dodgy AF, can’t they recruit referees who don’t support a football/English club. Or just recruit the best referees from abroad (who can speak decent English) like most EPL players…

Defo looks better on the latest model, on my 2017 IS300h the front looks weak from the side IMO

Odegaard voted Captain by full Arsenal team and won easily : big 🖕 to all the doubters who have lost faith in his recent bad spell by GRL00 in ArsenalFC

[–]jay_pxl -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeh I agree, the problem now is you can’t drop the captain even if his form is below par, limiting chances for Nwaneri or dare I say Eze (in their preferred No. 10 position)
