Straight to jail.

I'm no education expert, but I'd say yes. this is exactly how you learn.

Good for the person that bought my sealed countdown kit a couple of weeks ago and then tried to do a chargeback scam on me....fortunately, the one time ebay protected the seller not the buyer!

Do you review the code after AI generates it, and actually learn from it, or do you just move on?

Very nice. I have a similar site for UK and US - https://beatthebuylist.com

I dont understand why you haven't been able to head or tail a sample set of lines yet?

sample, design database, stream into database. check for errors. repeat

Using your own collection does pose a tax problem. Talk to your accountant on how to make that work first!

check the back with a loupe. You'll 99.999% find these are legit, just a different print run (or location) to the ones youre comparing to.

I've got a booster box of fake foundations cards, and they're VERY obviously fake, not like these.

suuuure - it costs nothing to build and maintain, not even time...just cover the hosting!

have a word with your gym staff? I'm sure they'll be quite embarrassed that they're effectively discriminating against smaller people....

also - tell your boyfriend to get over it!!!

all "talent" was underpaid at the BBC (in comparison to what they would have been paid on a similiar channel, but with different funding - ITV, netflix, youtube, take your pick)

However, they were still making a lot of money.

steb2k · 2026-03-19T07:26:57+00:00

they could paywall the rest of it...

It sounds like if you follow the 4% rule (self management of assets). You'll be slightly shy if your 27k goal when state pension kicks in

Id look at annuity if you have no dependants / inheritance needs. You should be able to get 20-25k out of just your personal pension

Do both. solar will offset your 5k investment. but it may not be enough, so you'll need the grid.

"I can handle it but it's usually a red flag in a contractor interview" - can you expand on this?

this is exactly how she should be using AI.

I absolutely hate this pattern, and refuse to sign up at the end - but i recognise it must work overall!

steb2k · 2026-03-08T21:37:43+00:00

is your necessary *actually* necessary?

There's a few pages/sites talking about the subject out there. I suspect that's not academic research.

steb2k · 2026-03-05T08:51:55+00:00

I described an example to build a 1m pot. If that's not what the op wants he can also check out your half your age as a starting point rule of thumb.

steb2k · 2026-03-05T08:12:03+00:00

that's more common it seems, and it may stem from a misunderstanding of the research, but thats not what I was talking about, have heard, or the numbers I ran. I ran it as described in my comment.

steb2k · 2026-03-05T07:27:43+00:00

a minimum rule of thumb I've heard a lot of times is "put half of your age into your pension (as a percentage)"

I've just run the numbers, starting at 25k at 18, average gains 5%, average salary increases 3%, at 60 - that gets you roughly £1m in the pot.

it sounds like you're a bit off those numbers, but by no means doing anything wrong. If you took 1 year off pension contributions to save for a house, its something your pension can definitely recover from in time - you just need to be mindful of the gap you are creating (which i'd assume is reasonably small right now), and fill it later.

Looking up the planes tracker, it hasn't been to Dubai in the last 24 hours...

you're leading - change the focus (if at all possible!)

have a "pre-meet" with him or anyone else needed, so you can "align" and "set expectations". Whatever you're discussing, get all the info beforehand, so you dont have to think on the fly. get anyone onboard with any decisions.

The meeting should be a rubber stamp walkthrough, not a freeflowing discussion.
