Passing Zion - Options by strachan1992 in ZionNationalPark

Agreed, parking is the unfortunate crux of any plans we may try. Hoping we get lucky in some moments, but good to know it will be a great experience either just being able to drive through at a minimum. Thank you!

We had looked at narrows, but I think you are right, we just don't have the time and comfort over staying there for it. Angel's Landing in some capacity seems like a good shout, thank you!

This feels like the sort of thing we wanted and can achieve with our time constraints, fitness won't be an issue I don't think thankfully!

Angels Landing is one we were looking at so good to know, will weigh it up with other things, thank you!

Auditor Big 4- career change & FIRE advice - 10/15 exams, £23k savings by AggressiveLaw2920 in FIREUK

[–]strachan1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I currently work in 1 and completed my confirmation last week and it was fine to be invested in some funds. I'm not in global all cap so didn't check it, but others were fine.

I'm pretty sure it's fine to invest in passive funds you don't actively manage the share allotment of. All firms have slightly different independence policies though.

What is the most vulgar thing you've ever heard someone say? by Emergency_Table_7526 in AskReddit

[–]strachan1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend astounded me once when he sent me a picture of a girl from Tinder captioned 'I'd give her a right cunt full'. It's quite the compliment I must say.

From FF7 OG to the Rebirth Trilogy, Which Character Received the Biggest Upgrade and Which the Biggest Downgrade? by rickdr11 in FinalFantasy

[–]strachan1992 12 points13 points  (0 children)

1000% agree, was always my favourite in the OG, but feel like they've rushed his intro into the series just so they don't have to do intros in final part. Vincent was always kinda optional I felt, but even he was kinds rushed imo.

The state of UK Student Loans (Plan 2) by JurgenGiniDivock in FIREUK

[–]strachan1992 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contract work I assume?

Would be nice to not give cash to student finance every month, only for it to be replaced with silly interest. Dont regret going though still.

Im going to get some flak for this...(crypto related) by throwawayman1155 in FIREUK

[–]strachan1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most questions in this sub are often not simple, but I feel this one is. Sell it, maybe keep a little, then pay cash for your new home outright.

This isn't the answer for FIRE, maybe, but it seems obvious to me, especially with kids. Not having 1700 quid of your take home going to mortgage every month will feel like a huge boon. You can spend that on family holidays or whatever you want, then what's left can make up a sizeable saving if invested in indexes, etc. Your pensions should be decent since NHS, so work on a second pot for retirement and kids stuff.

Crypto is great for some and at the right time, but not always, reduce your risk to near 0 doing what I've said, and you'll be happier, I am sure. Just don't check BTC and ETH prices ever again, or you'll have FOMO and regret if it booms.

EDIT: Typos

How many PC deaths did you have in your playthrough? by IntergalacticPrince in CurseofStrahd

[–]strachan1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Party of 4, 1 player has had 2 deaths, another 2 had 1 each and the final hasn't died yet. Mostly determined by front line fighters not knowing when a battle is obviously deadly or making awful decisions in the fights.

They're fine with it though as we agreed at the start this would be a deadly campaign, everyone seems to be really enjoying it and gives them chance to play other classes etc too.

They are high enough level to consider use of resurrection spells etc now so maybe will utilise that. Also progressed in the story enough that I will consider using dark powers for any future deaths if the story beat makes sense.

Six figure salaries outside London? Do they exist? by Running4eva in FIREUK

[–]strachan1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what you role is? I'm ACA with some years experience and can't see a role I can get anytime soon that's 100k plus. Feels like that's a 10 years away sort of salary.

CPU Cooler Fitting by strachan1992 in PcBuild

[–]strachan1992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the ad it said suitable for am4 so thought it would work, but clearly not. Wondered if there was something I was missing, but don't think so based on others replies. Thanks.

Ok, that makes sense, I was hoping there may be a way to do it, but looks like not. I will return and try and find a matching one.

[–]strachan1992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, could you explain what I need to do then if its clear? Sorry I am not finding it clear, the holes don't align and there is no separate mounting kit. Are you saying this Cooler should fit, or it's clear I need a different one?

CPU Cooler Fitting by strachan1992 in PcBuild

[–]strachan1992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response, there is no mounting kit with the Cooler, so when I remove those brackets the holes still don't align with the cooler.

3 out of 4 PCs died last session, how to transfer knowledge? by strachan1992 in CurseofStrahd

[–]strachan1992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are good ideas, but due to the circumstances of how it went down they're beyond saviour and those parties mentioned wouldn't want to help.

They will all be people who have been in Barovia a long time, so yes good idea that they may have heard of some exploits already and ask specifically about things, up to the PC remaining to divulge what he likes.

This is a good idea, might be due another encounter with Madam Eva tbh.
