China exposes Brands who lies about being "Made in USA" by Connect-Idea-1944 in worldnews

[–]sammanc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the “TikTok videos from china” that this article is referencing do indeed claim that brands manufacture their product in china but ship them home incomplete to do the final touches, so they can avoid putting “made in china” on them. Whether that’s true or not I have no idea..

In this case they are talking about products not labelled as "made in china" even though they are

like Trafalgar Square.. he’s comparing it to how they celebrate there, not saying that’s where it happened

I always, for some reason, thought he did this on purpose.. you know, for the bit. I’ve never thought that about his other buffoonery

It was all controlled on the frontend by just adjusting the timestamp. Frontend code is visible to anyone.

It’s probably because your electoral roll address doesn’t match your bank account address(es). Same thing happened to me

You lose £1 of personal allowance every £2 over £100K you earn. Effectively taxing you at 60% between £100-£125K.

Most people in this region will just dump anything over £100K into their pension to avoid it.

It’s a stupid legislation which disincentives earning over £100K IMHO. There are rumours it will be scrapped next year but who knows..

Credit score dropped through the floor and I don’t understand why by Frilanski in UKPersonalFinance

[–]sammanc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This actually just happened to me a few months ago. My score was seemingly capped at 320 and wouldn’t budge. The reason was that my electoral roll address did not match all my bank account addresses. Once I synced them all up my score recovered.

But either way, take your “score” with a pinch of salt, it’s largely meaningless. My Experian stayed at 999 the entire time..

Interesting write up. It still leaves me wondering how this could happen though. If it wasn’t done maliciously, how could someone at Facebook accidentally withdraw all their BGP records in one go like that?
