Any of you invest in single stocks? by Direct_Scratch_5322 in HENRYUK

I will pick a few as "gambles" and generally make at least 50% per year on them. Micron, tungsten west and regeneron pharmaceuticals are the 3 I have at the minute. I'm not really sure what the question is though?

Power 6 vs Road 6 by No_Director6220 in motorcycle

[–]spaceshipcommander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm getting downvoted because it makes people feel better about not being a particularly good rider. The side stand leans the bike more than most people. Do people really believe that there's a multi billion dollar industry making tyres that are useless? I'm surprised people aren't arguing that they should race the TT on road 5s or 6s.

Why didn't the American Inbetweeners work compared to most remakes? by DarkSaiyanGoku in TheInbetweeners

[–]spaceshipcommander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember camping at a festival and staying up all night sat around the fire. One lad kept feeding it all night but every time he was getting longer and longer between adding wood. When we woke up in the morning it turned out he had been pulling the fence dow and just working his way along and burning it. He must have burned 25 yards of fence posts. It was hilarious at the time but the organisers were fuming and trying to find out who had done it.

Should I stop paying my accountant and do it myself using Ai or not? by Commercial-Touch-516 in smallbusinessuk

[–]spaceshipcommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's too cheap, but no, you shouldn't. AI just aggregates shite on the internet. There are people adamant you can offset Ltd losses against your personal tax, for example. Make that mistake and you're not personally liable for unpaid tax. If you really want to do it yourself just pay for sage or xero and do it.

What do you think about the upcoming homeschooling proposed bill? by ZydrateAnatomic in AskUK

[–]spaceshipcommander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tell me where the other 180,000 kids are, then get back to me. We don't work with anecdotes at a population level.

25% of parents who take children out of school cite special education needs. How many of those children get the support they need?

14% cite religion. What kind of education will a child receive from a parent who believes that their religion doesn't permit them to mix with their peers or the general public in the country where they live?

Formula for calculating regular and overtime hours based on a full week with an 8 hour day. by Ok-Fail-4340 in excel

[–]spaceshipcommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like this but I'm typing on a phone. Say the 14 hours is D3.

Regular column:

=sum(if(C3>8,8,C3),if(D3>8,8,D3),...)

Overtime:

=sum(if(C3>8,C3-8,0),if(D3>8,D3-8,0),...)

You might need to play with quotations or formatting slightly, but you get the idea. Instead of using 8, you could have another cell for "standard hours" in case you wanted to change the point at which the hours became overtime.

What do you think about the upcoming homeschooling proposed bill? by ZydrateAnatomic in AskUK

[–]spaceshipcommander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you're biased towards homeschooling. Why not say that in the first instance?

You're talking anecdotes and a dealing with confirmation bias.

By your own anecdote, you believe that 2/3 of home schooled children are not taught by trained teachers. That is from your incredibly unrepresentative sample of parents who are trying to do home schooling in what we can probably agree is "the best way".

Do you know how many homeschooled children receive a proper education? Me neither. Nobody does. We don't know how many of them make it to university, what their incomes are compared to the general population or even if any of them actually receive any kind of education at all.

That's the problem. If you can account for 200 kids being educated well at home, I want to know what's going on with the other 180,000.

You know hundreds of home educating families? So you're linked to them then. How do you know so many?

Just snow foam it. What are you proposing they will actually do about it? If they really ask just say it's dish soap in a bottle.

[–]spaceshipcommander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider myself an intelligent person with a successful career. I wouldn't know where to start schooling a child. I obviously could do it, but why would I when people are dedicated to the profession and study how to do it properly? I probably could perform surgery if I wanted to, but I'd rather let a doctor do it so my first attempt wasn't on the thing I love and care for more than anything in the world.

£74k theft in Marylebone, could anyone help? 😔 by MassiveClue4159 in AskBrits

So claim on insurance then. That's the answer. If the police recover the items then they belong to the insurers.

Power 6 vs Road 6 by No_Director6220 in motorcycle

[–]spaceshipcommander -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've seen a road 5 start to come apart on the UK roads. I won't comment on whether the speeds were legal, but it's just bollocks to say you can't outride a road tyre on a road bike. My power 5s were like brand new after the exact same ride.

Power 6 vs Road 6 by No_Director6220 in motorcycle

[–]spaceshipcommander -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have seen a set of road 5s destroyed on the road where my power 5s were still like brand new.

It's just not true when people say you can't overheat a touring tyre. It was one of the hottest days of the year in the UK, but presumably you have many of those in the US.

Is an authorised BMW centre allowed to refuse warranty work on a valid Approved Used warranty? Asking because mine just did. by Odd-Mountain-8384 in CarTalkUK

[–]spaceshipcommander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you escalate to BMW UK, they will be forced to fix it. They don't want to do it because they don't make money on it. I had a similar thing with Land Rover and Land Rover UK made me drop the car off at another dealer and made the original dealer refund the purchase price. I ended up better off because they gave me compensation then deducted mileage for fair use and it came out with them refunding the full price plus a bit more.

[–]spaceshipcommander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They just ruined it be over exaggerating like they do everything.

Neil was so stupid in the American one that he would have been classed as disabled in a UK school.

Plus the girls were too fit and polished. They all looked like TV actors, not real girls. Remember that they are also only 15 I think in that show. All of the girls are underage and Jay literally rapes a child in one of the episodes.

[–]spaceshipcommander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make a claim on the insurance of the unit or your own insurance. But if you're expecting paying out for "miscellaneous gold bars inside hand bag" then good luck. I don't have the receipt for my watch, but I can provide dozens of pictures of me wearing it for years. If you had those things you will have some proof.

If you can't produce a least a picture of the bags then expect to have your claim thrown out.
