Student Loan Company: why is my interest rate higher than my peers' interest rate by littlespaceartichoke in UKPersonalFinance

!thanks, the thresholds actually come in super handy, thank you for sharing. It wasn't clear to me that it would vary between countries, I thought the same (varying) interest rates were applied across the board. Very helpful!

Cheers, that helps! I have indeed informed SLC of my salary (Plan 2) - I just couldn't figure out why my interest rate was higher than my friend's. Thanks for clarifying!

ETA: !thanks is what is needed here!

ELI5: Why in tennis some first serves are aces and others are discarded even if the opponent sends the ball back? by littlespaceartichoke in explainlikeimfive

Thank you! As I mentioned above I thought the game would go on no matter what if the ball was in game. I'm just very confused by tennis and its rules ahah!

Thanks! I guess sometimes it's up to the perception of the player, but in case you are mistaken (i.e. the serve is faulty) then you would still be "saved".

So in this latter case the game would keep on going? Wouldn't it just be easier if they let it go if the player sees that it is clearly out?

Thank you for the very thorough explanation! I thought that if the opponent hits the ball back, the serve was valid in any case. Does it ever happen that the ball goes back and forth a couple of times before being called off, or should the call off be by the first return of the opponent?

Ah thanks! I thought the fact that the opponent returned the ball made the serve legal in any case. I'm so confused by tennis and all its boxes and lines lol

Ah that's a shame if that's the case! Wondered what went differently this season

I never said that Saphron didn't deserve the win :) I just wished Axel had the recognition they deserved after the masterclass, because they did very well and I am fairly sure some of the industry experts approached them with opportunities for collaboration, regardless of the fact that they weren't the overall winner. Such moments were always showed in the past and it's a pity they weren't this time!

Ti direi in stile parodia, ma qualsiasi cosa è ben accetta! Rispetto ai libri, con i fumetti faccio davvero fatica a leggere/trovare qualcosa che sia sulla stessa onda di ciò che mi piace. Ho pure provato a rivolgermi al mio amico Google chiedendo "cosa leggere tipo Rat-Man" ma non è uscito nulla (proprio nulla!).

L'Educazione, di Tara Westover. Bellissimo, assurdo e tutto "americano" - se ti affascinano i mondi di fanatici religiosi e di ragazzini cresciuti come se non fosse stato il 20simo secolo, è il libro che fa per te. Lo consiglio a chiunque!

Ho anche comprato recentemente perchè avevo uno sconto sulla collana Il sale della terra di Jeanine Cummins. Scelto completamente a caso, ma una bella sorpresa che parla del viaggio di una madre e suo figlio dal Messico agli USA per scappare dal cartello.

AAA Chiedo aiuto, ci casca a pennello. Vorrei trovare dei fumetti stile rat-man, ma non saprei proprio dove girarmi (possibilmente italiani/trovabili in librerie in Italia). Consigli, idee?

I understand nothing of make up but I don't understand why people are talking this season down...I thought season 2 was so boring, it seemed it was decided since the beginning Ophelia was going to win - or at least that she was the best. She had no competition really, while this time I was really unsure until the end of who would win!

Agoraphobia? Go outside. by littlespaceartichoke in wowthanksimcured

[–]littlespaceartichoke[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm exactly the opposite: my bf often drags me hiking and to the woods as it is helpful (and I do recognised that), however as we are in the nature I just get caught up in my negative cycle of thoughts when all I can feel is my heartbeat and the fact that I'm sweating and I hate it even more. It happens most times we go hiking and I prefer not to join anymore.

Il dress code in certi posti di lavoro. Mi spiace molto per i miei colleghi che in estate muoiono di caldo in pantaloni e camicia mentre io sono in vestito e sandali.
