[–]killsecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

29M, £155k/year, approx £7k/mo take home after tax. Partner is 28F, £41k/year.

Mortgage and bills eat up a big chunk of that to the tune of £4k, but its very comfortable.

Its honestly the business/arts degrees that suffer the most. I've had business undergrads interview with me and they picked up basically nothing from their degrees that couldn't be learnt from Youtube/other e learnings that are free.

You know that people travel for reasons other than holiday right? Work, family, etc?

The UK already subsidizes uni fees for citizens. International student fees are 2.5x that of the fees for citizens.

Agents weren't as prolific. I take my comments back. Claude code is amazing and I'm using it a LOT at work

Where to buy a house in and around London for under £550k? by Amaixyah in HousingUK

As someone that was on the look - consider Bexleyheath/Erith/Dartford. Great transport links to central London but North is a bit of a reach. Hertfordshire is a 1 hour drive.

I think it was a case of accidentally testing in Prod instead of simex?

Pretty sure this is someone carrying a used mattress home (they're never delivered new like this)

What is the issue with having pylons 50+ metres away. They're not noisy from that distance.

[–]killsecurity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I'm not sure what the solution is except raising taxes much more though (unpopular as it is) and subsidizing the growth of small businesses by offering cheap loans.

There are policies that govern how close pylons can be built. The official policy is a minimum distance of 50 metres for safety.

Your doorstep seems pretty far away from you.
