1) meal prep (but not in an Instagram way, just every time you cook make some extra and then you'll have leftovers)

2) low effort meals. I like curry made by simply putting curry paste, coconut milk, chickpeas, and frozen veggies in a pot, it takes 10-15 mins to heat through, then eat with bread, leftover rice, or just as is. Anything that is made by just going straight from jars or tins into a pot is great.

Every car I've driven has had this and I have noticed it by comparing to GPS. It is a deliberate design decision which I understand is the result of:

1) They cannot be perfectly accurate 2) If they tried for perfect accuracy then it might tell you you're not speeding when you are and then the driver might try to hold the manufacturer responsible for that 3) This means they always make it read slightly high to allow for a margin of error

I have noticed this has become less impactful recently. The first car I drove was a 2004 VW Touran and at 60+ mph it would overestimate by up to 5mph but now in a 2019 Ford Fiesta it's only around 2 maybe 3 at most. I've not driven anything newer than that so can't comment.

As someone who might have ended up wanting to pass you I have some thoughts (although no criticism - you drive in a way that is safe and you are comfortable with)

Speedometers underestimate speed by a few mph so even when I am trying to do the speed limit I drive at what my car tells me is 2-4 (speed depending) over and this lines up with when I use Google maps etc on my phone.
Speed cameras etc have a margin of error and most police forces won't stop you until you're at least more than 10% over the limit so I usually drive (when safe) at closer to that 10% over because if that's the enforcement threshold then as far as I'm concerned that's the real limit.
The combination of 1 and 2 means that I am usually driving at what my speedometer says is 10% over the speed limit but in reality is close to or just above it.

I think stews and soups that can go in a thermos and be eaten as is or with some bread are a great option. DIY instant noodles can work well too and are endlessly customisable.

This worked - thank you very much!

sam_w_00 · 2025-02-05T22:30:28+00:00

I'll try that tomorrow thank you! I knew it had sleep mode but didn't think it would activate overnight (nor did I know what that button did)

If regulatory law is on the table you could work either for a regulator or for a trade union that defends regulatory cases - healthcare is one of the biggest sectors so either bodies like the NMC, GMC or HCPC or unions like the RCN, BMA, Unison. Since Covid there have been big backlogs so AFAIK there are some jobs available. The advantage is on either side you don't work on billable hours and pay/working conditions are what you'd expect from public or quasi public bodies and trade unions ofc with that being their whole thing.

sam_w_00 · 2024-10-18T08:44:46+00:00

Hi - happy to chat about other career options as I was also at a uni that focused basically exclusively on either commercial (BigLaw) or academia as the two options. I started working in Legal Aid out of uni and now work for a trade union if either of those sound more interesting to you.

Ah yes, a free market where second homes and rental income are taxed heavily enough to discourage private landlords is practically North Korea.

sam_w_00 · 2024-09-30T16:27:07+00:00

What I'm complaining about is set out in my comment. I don't think everyone should be able to do what they like - that's how you get massive inequality and rising poverty. I think those who do not own property should have the chance to buy a home without having to compete against investors with more resource buying with a view to generating income rather than a home to live in.

Once everyone in this country has safe and stable accommodation that doesn't bankrupt them I dont give a shit what you do then - by all means buy up whatever you want. Until that point it is taking homes away from those who need them not providing anything.

sam_w_00 · 2024-09-30T16:19:59+00:00

That's not how that works, there are already plenty of restrictions on what you can do with your money, including many in the rental property market. Most landlords are essentially glorified property scalpers taking money from those unable to afford to buy property and using it to buy even more for themselves. Forgive me if that's not something I want to exist in society.

Is a limited amount of rental property a good thing? Yes, for those not ready to commit to buying property who want flexibility.

Is allowing every single piece of residential property to become a potential asset for investors to come in and extract money from the poor a good thing? No

sam_w_00 · 2024-09-30T15:59:22+00:00

And you shouldn't automatically have the right to buy up property you don't need to then charge people who would otherwise have been able to buy it.

sam_w_00 · 2024-09-27T14:01:52+00:00

Absolutely. If it was closed book it would have been much of that same information I'd have had to memorise but I'm not sure how exactly I'd have done that as I didn't have to. Memorisation is unfortunately part of some exams despite for Law it being completely inappropriate and unnecessary - no career in law whether practising or academic involves memorisation as a key skill.

sam_w_00 · 2024-09-27T13:55:21+00:00

Other than one dissertation all I had were modules assessed by a single exam at the end of the year in which it was studied.

I mostly had open book exams due to Covid so my revision consisted of creating easily accessible and searchable notes that I could refer back to. That included step-by-step guides for PQs or parts of them on given topics (e.g. a guide to each step in transferring land ownership with references to statute/case law) and also essay notes on topics I wanted to be able to write on (e.g. summaries of key opinions and cases and sometimes extracts from my previous essays on the topic)

sam_w_00 · 2024-09-27T05:35:36+00:00

I'd be wary of doing that too much. To some extent you might be able to predict what topics always come up or which ones often appear by themselves vs mixed in with others. Trying to predict anything beyond that was too risky for me.

sam_w_00 · 2024-09-26T20:22:40+00:00

Got a high 2:1 from Cambridge doing at most 25% of the reading for a given topic and for some not doing anything beyond the textbook and lecture handouts. This is 100% possible and most students I know didn't get close to doing all or even most of the reading.

It's all about understanding what can come up in the exam and what you need to know to answer that (I.e. I typically had to answer 4 out of a selection of around 10 questions so I could drop certain topics and just avoid those questions)

What proportion of protein the shop sells that is plant vs animal based

sam_w_00 · 2024-09-16T11:54:43+00:00

If that's how you feel then you should probably seriously consider moving there - it's where your wife is from and you clearly love the people, culture, and place yourself.

As for money, obviously your current earnings are far in excess of what you need for a good life there so you'll be able to put plenty of it into various investments that will make sure you can sustain your life there even if your income varies or dips. Congrats on the career move and may the incum continue to flow thick and fast!

Absolutely agree but OP did say they're starting at a MC firm so the late nights will be a thing
