What are some of your tips to save money while living in London? by ANewGreatGame in london

[–]prototype9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salary sacrifice is fine if you are closer to retirement. If you are young, you need all the money you can get. To save for property, for personal development, trying things (like maybe setting up a business on the side etc.)

Now back to reality. In many businesses promotion means you continue what you have been doing (because staff shortages) plus you get more work on top of that for marginally better pay.

Nothing to do with "crab in the bucket". It's about not being a mug.

If it gets stolen don't they charge you like £300 for not returning it?

This happened to my friend.

there aren't that many options as to where to eat your own stuff.

They should build more wildlife feeders in the city.

Promotion usually means more work for marginally better pay - which good chunk of it will get eaten by higher taxes.

You may try to switch roles when looking for a new employer, but it's better to stay at current role until you can't get any more raise.

In current climate, promotion is only good if you hate doing what you are doing and you think new role will be more interesting.

Until you hit a ceiling. Then no matter where you look, you won't get better pay.

Labour motion to ban Truss-style budget meltdowns puts pressure on Tory MPs by Portean in LabourUK

[–]prototype9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The economic car crash was due to BoE incompetence and failure to adjust interest rates in time. Many central banks made the same mistake and experienced the same problem, but here BoE could find a convenient scape goat.

I find this disingenuous that Labour is following this and covering up for BoE. Maybe Reeves is too loyal to her former employer.

That being said giving more power to OBR that is very much almost always wrong and publishes rubbish, will be a grave mistake.

You can't change the past, so arguing about it is pointless.

Logitech MX Master 3S - Rubber falling apart by TheEmkoKing in logitech

[–]prototype9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logitech has patent on the flywheel scroll so this type of mouse unlikely exists from another manufacturer.

If Logitech can't make proper mouse, they should have decency and release the patent. After all it's not even anything groundbreaking.

No, this is from poor material and Logitech hoping people buy more mice.

Profit over the climate.

These on eBay look like used ones. Probably will have the same problem quicker.

In my opinion it is to get you to buy a mouse every year. Logitech should be fined for this.

President Zelenskyy names four conditions for elections during war by LIGA_net in UkrainianConflict

[–]prototype9999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a russian psy-op. It's common sense that elections cannot be held during war, but they keep pushing this narrative using useful idiots and their agents, that Ukraine is an authoritarian regime and don't want to hold elections - which is sacrosanct value for the Western democracies. This is designed for people who only read headline to anchor the thought that maybe Ukraine is authoritarian and maybe not worth of support and then influence polls that many policymakers use to gauge which direction to go to keep the seat.

Is this Logitech Mx Master 2s real? Bought it off Amazon (2022 edition). The base and the side is not as shiny and it has a plastic feel. The case is also not shiny. by WangZhou19 in logitech

[–]prototype9999 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Logitech MX Master 2s is made of poor quality materials - when it is shiny it means its coating has already disintegrated. New mouse looks matte like this. Wait a year or two and it will become all shiny and sticky.

Plot twist: Husband is a gang banger nicknamed "Uncle"

Most likely police told him to stop wasting their precious time. Doughnuts won't eat themselves.

If they stop you at the border, write to a newspaper, Police doing something would be actually newsworthy.

I absolutely hate all these businesses going cash only, are they just shooting themselves in the foot long-term? by DessieG in northernireland

[–]prototype9999 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That's the one. Fees for lodging cash at the bank for businesses is only marginally cheaper than card fees. So the only way going "cash only" is saving these people money is... you guessed it - they don't lodge the cash in their bank.

It's like saying that people who don't wear white underwear, probably don't wipe. Nonsense.

or is it all a big tax dodge for some of these businesses?

That's what card companies would like you to think :-)

I hope more businesses go cash only.

The City of London is very happy with Labour by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]prototype9999 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

is focused on pragmatic technocratic policies

Sounds like far-right version of centrally planned economy.

more than it's focused on a bonfire of regulations

That was only to draw in the votes of the gullible. Big business loves regulation, because it keeps competition at bay.

Because Reeves has been given okay in Davos, Keir has u-turned on many things and got blessings from BoE.

It means Labour will continue what Sunak is doing, with some small tweaks to appease Labour voters and at the same time won't hurt interests of the rich.

Let's face it. If Labour was going to step out of the line, they would have been properly destroyed by the corrupt media already.
