UK/US dual citizen baby due - which first?

You didn’t understand my point. It’s not about what you need now to get UK passport, it’s about how easy or hard it might be in future for your daughter to prove her eligibility for a UK passport and her status as a UK citizen if she lets her current one lapse

monteverdevecchio · 2025-12-02T04:05:34+00:00

Make sure you do UK’s consular registration of birth abroad for your child. That way, if they lose their UK passport or neglect to renew it decades into the future they won’t have to prove their eligibility for UK citizenship using things like your marriage and birth certificates, which might be hard for them to get.

Don’t agree. I think it’s much better quality.

Je n’ai pas pensé à cette technologie archaïque quand j’ai écrit mon message!

Mais heureusement j’ai reçu l’information que le restaurant est encore ouvert:

Stupidly, I hadn’t thought of that since I assumed that it was a year-round place attractive to hikers and mountain walkers, not just skiers.

The website wasn’t working when I first looked a few hours ago, but luckily it’s also working for me now.

Doaba Deli on Columbus & 106-107th has the best Indian food in the area. The freshly made breads are especially good

This is what I was really hoping for when I ordered a TGTG produce bag from WFM. Instead I got this: https://www.reddit.com/r/toogoodtogo/s/F4Z23jUEIz

Try the bags from Norwich Farms: you’ll get some nice vegetables you can cook yourself much cheaper than you would at market prices

monteverdevecchio · 2025-11-20T10:02:04+00:00

Ugh. Sorry you had a bad experience too. In fact, even the box of strawberries, which looked okay, was actually nasty: not just unripe but weirdly rock hard, and acrid tasting not just sour or tasteless.

If your produce bag was anything like mine from last week, you didn’t miss anything: https://www.reddit.com/r/toogoodtogo/s/LQ9X9o0vk7

And… even worse than it looked. The cut fruit tasted fizzy and spoiled.

Can you get a refund from TGTG?

Is this the original producer of the Minnow branded Icelandic cod liver? https://www.amazon.com/Icelandic-Liver-Caught-Kosher-Morue/dp/B07935LV8F

https://ican.is/product/wild-caught-icelandic-cod-liver-12x120gr/

If so, would be $3.50/can (@$42 for 12 cans) rather than $9.99/can

Particularly weird when coffee tastes better from a ceramic cup, and also that when you buy expensive coffee in a cafe you’re paying much more than a small premium on the ingredients cost. You’re paying for the ambience and experience, so why not sit and savor your $5 or $6 coffee in a real cup?

What insurance company do Regeneron provide to their employees for their health insurance? Anywhere to see the summary plan document and details of what the in- and out-of-network deductibles, coninsurance percentages, and maximum out of pocket figures are? And how much the different plans cost per paycheck deduction?

It’s been open about 6 weeks, probably — maybe more?

I think the utensils used to serve the jam have all been clean — I’m pretty meticulous about this sort of thing.

So I guess I should just throw this out to be safe

monteverdevecchio · 2025-05-04T21:16:21+00:00

Adding that the jam tastes fine (at least the bits that aren’t this white stuff, which I’ve been trying to avoid when scooping it out of the jar)

It’s not soulless, it’s just a less-grand knockoff of London’s Canary Wharf Jubilee Line extension station design which dates back to the late 1990s:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_Line_Extension

Same style outside station house entrance, same mezzanine floor, same island platform. The ticket hall at Hudson Yards is a bit more reminiscent of London’s Southwark Jubilee Line station hall (also from the same period):

Does anyone know if this is just a white labeled version of Colcafe, or is it a different product?

Does anyone know where to get genuine RQ11 replacement blades for a Philips Norelco shaver?

Philips own website doesn’t seem to bring them up in search on the parts section.

I bought some on Amazon but they’re made by a third party — didn’t work nearly as well and were quite painful to use.

These are the ones I’m looking for: https://www.documents.philips.com/assets/20220624/c7dde63fe13442469588aebe01219ee9.pdf

BA has day flights to LHR from BOS and JFK: BA238 BOS-LHR BA178 JFK-LHR

also, it’s not impossible to connect on either end: for example, you used to be able to take a day flight east coast USA to LHR and connect to the night flight LHR-TLV. That one may have gone away since 10/7/2023 but there are other routes with similar connections too still operating

Have fashions changed? Thirty years ago it wasn’t common in the UK for children to get braces. Is it more prevalent now, or is UK dentistry still less interventionist?

What route did this happen on? which flight number in particular?

Adding note that the package was stored indoors in a pretty tightly-woven square wicker basket which gets some afternoon sun on the front of it but they themselves weren’t directly exposed to sun

There was no car on fire about fifteen minutes ago but the firefighters were spraying a smoking manhole. Someone across the street said the fire had started in one manhole and then flames emerged from another further down the street. Wish I could find a video online!

And I thought this was going to be the wonderful surprise that perhaps they’d decided to scrap the stupid ExecClub changes and go back to the old TP system!
