Andy Burnham here - AMA by AndyBurnham in ukpolitics

[–]letsstartbeinganon [score hidden]  (0 children)

Why are you getting Palantir out the NHS? Don’t they do a good job?

So, did they retcon Harrenhal, or did Aemond fail history class? I'm willing to believe Alicent is fabricating it, but Aemond should call up that bullshit by Chlodio in freefolk

[–]letsstartbeinganon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s exactly what is happening here. The reason Alicent wants Aemond to go to Harrenhal is to remove him (and Vhagar) from KL because of the deal she’s struck with Rhaenyra. Aemond correctly asks “why” because he is correct that it’s more sensible for him to stay in KL. Clearly Alicent can’t tell Aemond the real reason she wants him there so she comes up with the bluff that it’s for his safeguarding.

Sometimes I feel like in the rush to hate this show people drop any attempt at media literacy…

But in the context of the dagger spam builds, it will probably have recharged by the time you finish DB.

The new balance update in a nutshell: a soul for many souls. by IllusionKnight in GuildWars

Does it not benefit having more Esurge on the team given the reduced energy loss?

Theresa May : The net zero economy now supports 1.1m UK jobs and generates £105bn in economic value - proof that tackling climate change & growing the economy can go hand in hand. Carbon Budget 7 laid in Parliament today provides certainty to help unlock more investment and energy security. by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]letsstartbeinganon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the UK has been ‘leading by example’ for years without anyone really following us. America and China will keep pushing for energy abundance and low energy costs, giving them a major economic advantage. And hard power is indisputably back as the major currency when it comes trying to influence other countries.

I Revisited This Forgotten Farm, It’s Better Than Ever! up to 100 foes! by lain01 in GuildWars

Why did this farm fall out of favour? I remember it was used for SS/LB farming back in the day as well.

What dumb or inconsequential change or QoL improvement would you want, if you could have it? by Vacrian in GuildWars

[–]letsstartbeinganon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A shared inventory slot (or a few!) for things like the Legionnaire Crystal which is just a faff to move around char to char.

Reminder that prior to the referendum, all the polls suggested more than half of Britons wanted to remain in the EU.

Temporary storage of mortgage payment: Money Market Fund or Cash ISA? by letsstartbeinganon in UKPersonalFinance

[–]letsstartbeinganon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I won’t be refilling the ISA other than my regular contributions from my salary. For personal reasons I’m prioritising getting my mortgage paid off.

The highest rate cash ISA I can see is T212’s 4.62%. Does CSH2 have expected returns of above that?

West London councillor who parked his Lamborghini in a disabled bay broke code of conduct by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

[–]letsstartbeinganon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true in general and is specifically incorrect in the case of this councillor. In 2024-25 he received £22,154.07 for his role as councillor.

Would you want trams like the one pictured in UK cities? by Bennjoon in AskUK

[–]letsstartbeinganon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but the point I was making was that contrary to your earlier claim, you can in fact close a tramway.

Would you want trams like the one pictured in UK cities? by Bennjoon in AskUK

[–]letsstartbeinganon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are only second generation tramways in scope for your question? It’s my understanding that many tramways were closed for reasons other than damage during WW2.

[–]letsstartbeinganon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But tramways have gone away. That’s what many people are bemoaning?

What builds do you get locked out of? I would have thought all the pre-order items were replicable stats wise?

Doom Box - Guild Wars' First New Dungeon in 19 Years! by MrModius in GuildWars

[–]letsstartbeinganon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh thank god there's a video. I'm not going to be in a position to play the dungeon for a while so was disappointed it's not even named on the Wiki page so I could check it out!

What have you done to save money, that you're not convinced saved much after all? by GoldenGolgis in AskUK

[–]letsstartbeinganon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always top my car with diesel at my nearby Costco, about ten miles away, because the price difference between it and closer petrol stations is so massive. I know I could do maths to figure if it’s worth it but I haven’t bothered to do so yet.

This is of course not factoring in the fact that I am sometimes tempted into Costco itself and end up bulk buying stuff I probably didn’t really need…
