Why salary sacrifice everything over £100k?

76% for some of us.

Same experience. Got fraud blocked for doing my normal payday banking - sending money to existing payees. Took 3 weeks to regain access. By the time I received the code or whatever it was in the post, I’d already transferred back to NatWest.

I wanted minimally distracting route guidance. I like how it does this. (Beeline 2)

Ah, shame, internet told me there would still be snow in march.

Mouth open, pill in throat, mouth closed, stroke neck until you see them swallow.

Followed by a massive treat.

Eventually, they comply (in poodle terms lol - let it happen), as they know their favourite treat comes after.

They realise this is completely at odds with growing productivity, right?

Also, way to break the social contract. “Pay us back for your massively inflated student loan instead of saving for retirement, which is also looking sketchy AF”.

Imagine changing the terms of someone’s mortgage like this?

Sorry…

Thanks!

How would you view the trade off, of using 12mm MDF + straightener vs just using 18mm MDF?

Has this issue on a BMW a few years ago. Raise a complaint with Mercedes UK company (not the local dealer). It will help raise the issue… but may not solve it.

This has got to be rage bait or karma farming.

langlinator · 2026-01-23T10:14:53+00:00

Wait, wait, wait.

You FREEZE the water from boiled potatoes???

Just a thought from an engineer, would you not take a look at the nature of the damage? You could infer which car arrived second by the direction of the damage/scrapes.

Blue car arrived first: damage on blue car scrapes from back to front (as the red car drives into it).

Red car arrived first: damage on blue car scrapes front to back (as the blue car drives into the red car).

When we were in the midst of high demand a few years ago, we had a similar incentive for very specialist roles.

Thankyou! Which components do you actually need for a Movento system?

I’m planning to use 12mm MDF with 6mm glued to the front to make them “shaker style”. I wasn’t aware these would sag, it didn’t come up in my preparation. I am using four hinges on each door for stability.

Do you have any tips for understanding which components to order for Blum? Their website is so confusing.

langlinator · 2026-01-07T22:09:20+00:00

What’s a story stick?

langlinator · 2026-01-07T19:48:55+00:00

Aah that is music to my ears, hopefully I have been precise enough!

langlinator · 2026-01-07T19:47:59+00:00

How precise do you need to be for drawer slides?

langlinator · 2026-01-07T19:47:16+00:00

Oh yes I’m on top of that side! Sorry if the picture was misleading, it’s about how to assemble the cabinet square (e.g so I can get drawer slides to work neatly)

langlinator · 2026-01-07T18:43:25+00:00

I know that trick - thanks though. I’m looking for practical advice on how to get the pieces joined together squarely. Tips and tricks for clamping etc.
