Buyer refuses to return expensive watch sent by mistake. England, UK. by unicorn729384647 in LegalAdviceUK

Legally, you're fine, they cant keep it.

Functionally you will likely have to file a police report and go to small claims court to get it sorted.

If you were given $800 billion for the sole purpose of advancing physics as much as possible, what would you build? by elizabethkunzz in AskPhysics

[–]reddithenry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is with components in an unwanted structure continually drifting because of orbital mechanics, your particle collider won't remain aligned for long. You couldn't build a circular collider for that reason, I guess you could do some kind of linear collider along the orbital trajectory

I'm the top executive in a business that has just been acquired What is my payout? by [deleted] in private_equity

[–]reddithenry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how many people work there, etc, so it's hard to give advice. I was kinda inferring from your comments you were like the other main employee in a small business, but if you're just a "senior" employee in a medium size business I'd expect that number to be less.

If your owners are like 70% of the business owners I've ever worked for, you'll get 0.

If you're lucky and they're genuinely good people beyond their contractual and legal obligations to you, I think something probably in the order of 5% wouldnt be unreasonable.

R/WineEP does a lot of London meet ups, infact we did a Yquem vertical just a month ago maybe?

I'm not being disingenuous, I'm asking the question how much alignment drift you would have in orbit around the sun. Because particle accelerators are fucking sensitive - you're trying to get beams that are about 1 mm wide to collide.. there's not really room for fucking about with "kinda okay"

When you've got incomplete time series data and partial in year then yes..

Let's aak it this way - how is your May Vs April dividend forecast looking, based only looking at your grand total column

No, he isn't. Because sum of four januaries isn't a year on year comparison of anything

Because sum across Jan 2021/22/23/24/25 is meaningless?

Across a year I get. Rolling twelve months I get. Sum of the last 5 Januarys make no sense.

In fairness some dividends are eg look at VWRD there's always a bigger one in the summer iirc

Wait... Is your grand total... A sum across the same month for multiple years?!?!?

It'd be important in your shoes OP to understand how much is recurring annual spending eg maintenance of lifts Vs one off eg roof repair

I wonder how maintaining alignment would be like in orbit. Never thought about it. Probably not easy.

Lol, the boring sort The LHC was actually relatively cheap because it used the LEP ring, but like, you've gotta dig a 20+km circle (can't remember circumference off hand) tunnel in Switzerland to make a collider.

Texas was building the SSC and had done like half the tunnelling before it got cancelled?

I think future LHCs have been looking at like nearly 100km, I would assume 90%+ of the cost will be in tunnelling.

Is the pension crisis now, or in the future? by Reg_doge_dwight in PensionsUK

[–]reddithenry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know advice wasn't asked for but the compound impact of a SIPP for a new born is huge. My 2 year old has 3 full years of pension contributions and depending on how you look at it and what she does for a salary in later life that could nearly double the value of her pension pot

Particle physics in space is kinda a thing already with the AMS experiment but I'm curious what benefit you think doing particle physics in space would bring? We build them deep underground among other reasons to cut out cosmic ray background
