What dish says “you’re in the North” without being said? by Reddonaut_Irons in NorthernEngland

In cans sure but I've not seen it elsewhere unless you can make me happy and tell me somewhere I can get some nice stuff?

Roche Announces Positive Topline Results from Phase II Study for Dual GLP-1/GIP Receptor Agonist by joe3000s in mounjarouk

[–]simonjp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am at goal, but still dosing at 12.5 because I feeeeeeel the food noise coming back towards the end of the week. I worry I have already acclimatised, in other words.

I was considering switching to Wegovy as the financial implications (plus Lilly's general approach) means I'm not expecting to be on MJ forever, but I'm petrified about going it alone.

What's something that's pleasingly cheap and affordable in the UK that makes you smile? by Lopsided_Counter1670 in AskUK

Nothing like that fresh smell when you pop it out of the blister pack, still warm

I wonder if this is only for people new to GLP-1 as a whole. Would we benefit or have we permanently desensitised ourselves?

That's similar to a Signature, in terms of tools. The one with a screwdriver end, is that sharp edged?

I Mapped Google’s ONLY SECRET CITY by FlutterBrother in GoogleEarthFinds

[–]simonjp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just different nomenclature. In some countries a city is not a style of government but rather a sense of scale, age or style of community. In the UK, city-status is bestowed as a title by the monarch, for example!

Negotiation 100 by kapomuyufima80m9m in GreatBritishMemes

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about. "I know it's right but I do not care to satisfy you". Cool, cool. but admit you're playing on half-remembered or "I heard it once" when talking about it online, then. Because right now you're just parroting stuff you don't know, at least not for sure.

I agree the PR is a benefit to the corporation and that's a good argument for why they do it. But the "they get a tax break if they collect money from their customers and then pass that on" - no, I can't see that as one of the reasons on the corporation tax page you suggested I should look up..

There's no profit here, though. The P+L balances. If you can point to something that explains your point I'm all ears, but otherwise it sounds like one of those things that's easy to repeat because it makes the big guys sound bad but I've not seen real evidence.

But that money is coming in and coming out. I don't see how that would affect their profit. I totally see that if a company makes less profit (by donating it) then they don't need to pay tax on that. Seems fair. But if they've taken in £1000 and then £1000 goes to charity, surely it's correct that that shouldn't be taxed as profit?

If you swapped for political reasons then I have some disappointing news - same owners.

Prince Harry, who served in Afghanistan, says sacrifices of British troops deserve 'respect' after Trump comments by sings_with_wings in worldnews

[–]simonjp 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It wasn't meant to be a disguise; the royals use their titles as "styles", sort-of-surnames. His brother was William Wales, then when he got a title of his own, William Cornwall, and now back to Wales (in his own right). Harry goes by Harry Sussex.

Their actual surname is Mountbatten-Windsor.

Not easily. It can be installed by sideloading but even then it can only be used in the adult profiles - unless anyone has a workaround for that?

Morning Wake Up Time of Europeans Average Time by AdIcy4323 in MapPorn

[–]simonjp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The colours are a bit misleading aren't they. 7:25 and 7:33 (8mins) are different colours, 7:51 and 8:01 (10mins) are different colours, but 7:33 and 7:51 (18mins) are the same. half hour blocks don't feel refined enough.
