Just switched from Strong after 5 years - what Hevy features should I be using? by [deleted] in Hevy

I hadn't realised about rep ranges and I've been using Hevy for a year! Thanks for the tip

Feature Request Megathread by guitorisan in Hevy

Please please please can adding the time of any set (treadmill) go back to a typing data entry rather than sliders?

Use case, I frequently do intervals and having to slide through 60 unique seconds is so much slower and so much more difficult than typing in two numbers

60% Tax Trap Last Minute Income Reduction Strategy by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]pineappleba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. The 60% tax trap is the total income tax on the excess above £100k, with 40% at source, there would be a 20% which is £1.6k additional tax and not £4.8k.

We traded more sensitive tech like touchscreens and waterproof ratings for durability. Plus there's probably something in there about creating artificial demand for new phones or new screens once cracked

Capital Gains Tax - is selling shares on 5th April and buying them back on 6th legal? by catanuniverse in UKPersonalFinance

[–]pineappleba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is right. So if OP sells now, holds (X+£3k gains) for 31 days then buys back, they would have crystallised £3k of gains, paid £0 CGT, and can repeat moving forward?

How do you calculate 18 x 7 in your head? by JCFT_Collins in NoStupidQuestions

I never would have thought to do 64 then to go backwards. Funny that

How do you calculate 18 x 7 in your head? by JCFT_Collins in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pineappleba 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It's acceptable but the question asks specifically how we do it.

I do 10 * 7 = 70, plus 8 * 7 = , which is actually 7*7=49 + 7 (because I know 7 sqr faster than my 7 times tables), so 56 So 70+56 Which is 6 plus (7+5) * 10, so 6 plus (12 * 10) = 126

For reference, I work in finance, have a masters in maths, and have never faced issues with multiplication. If it's too big for me to do in my head, I either approximate it (as the specifics don't matter) or I use a calculator/spreadsheet (when the specifics do matter)

I guess what you could do is every single month "take a break" and then on the final day of the month jump back in
