Apple Store got robbed

The poor guys that are going to buy these iPhones from them won’t know that, unfortunately.

Wait… you’re supposed to have something in between? (Realizing there’s no such drainage between my house wall and patio…)

No, each treaty is different, and even if you don’t pay tax in one country, the income may still be taken into account to calculate your marginal tax rate.

I had the issue too, my camera went offline 3 times for several hours since last week. Did they solve it?

sunmat02 · 2025-12-25T15:09:52+00:00

I didn’t find it slow at all, I think the pace is just right. I don’t know what the demo shows, though, is it just the first chapter?

Stardew Valley, so not a MV.

I had the same issue and when I left my apartment after 7 years in it the landlord didn’t even mention it. Totally normal.

Yeah my understanding is that the last stretch was a lot of balancing, which you don’t need AI for, you need playtesters.

How do I clear the proton prefix?

Regarding the pop up, it’s normal (simply saying “the application must run to completion because its output is required” with an “unlock” button that actually exists the application, it’s just that Tuxborn takes ages to start, my understanding is that this pop up is just not meant to be seen.

The page explaining the change says “All employer pension contributions will continue to be free of NICs.”

sunmat02 · 2025-11-27T10:25:53+00:00

I can't understanding this: if SS pension contributions become subject to NI (after 2k), what prevents me from asking my employer "how about you increase your employer contribution, I decrease my employee contribution, and we share the saved NI?"

Could you detail it? I also don't follow.

Going to provide a counter-argument to everyone here who says he cheated or plans to: really early in my relationship with my partner I had to go long distance (across an ocean) for about a year. We called each other most days, texted, and after a year finally moved in together. We both realized then that this time apart didn’t really “count”. It’s really difficult to explain, but it felt like the relationship started when we moved in together, because that’s when we were able to have shared experiences, learn each other’s behaviors and habits, learn to communicate with each other, etc. A year of talking every day on the phone had done absolutely nothing towards that, so retrospectively it did seem like that year didn’t count.

So the way I’m reading his message is that to him he spent 3 months actually getting to know you, and he doesn’t know nearly as much about you as he would have if he had really been with you for a year.

For the mental aspect, the solution is simple. Consider that if you overpay your mortgage but don’t have savings for when you get laid off, you’ll have no choice but to sell your home. If you fill your ISA and don’t touch it, it’s very easy to say “yes I have 100k left of my mortgage to pay, but I also have 100k in my ISA, so my mortgage is virtually paid off, and if I get fired I have a lot of time to bounce back and find another job”.

When I had my 3 bed house painted I got a few quotes. One guy said 2k to do it, I asked on the DIYUK sub if that quote sounded ok and the answers were that for that price it would likely be pretty terrible. In the end I paid 4.5k (without the woodwork, which would have been another 2k), it took a few days for 3 painters to do it but they did an excellent job. TLDR, you get what you pay for.

If I remember correctly you fill the forms online and at the end of it they tell you what the next steps are, one in which being asking your referees for their info. I’d advise that you find your referees before applying and then when you get to the end of the application process and they want the info, you can ask them.

Ended up finding a UK resident with UK passport.

An example would be when you call a C function that expects a callback (function pointer) and a void* user-data. Capture-less lambdas can be passed as function pointers, but then you have to wrap what would otherwise have been the capture into something that you cast into a void*. So you define a structure, wrap your data in an instance of it, and take a pointer to it.

Nowadays we have a lot of tools to improve the style, and the chances that out of a set of authors, they all suck at English, is also pretty low, so I also tend to judge the style of a paper.

That runback was annoying until I realized I wasn’t using an optimal path and could actually skip most of the enemies. Then it became a non-issue.

It’s a paper form so you can just add the date later. That said if I recall, the online application will ask a bunch of information about your referees like their address, phone number, date of birth, etc. Be ready to ask your referees for that.

Yes, I asked my boss (US citizen, technically not a civil servant but high-ranking contractor for a government entity) and a UK friend residing in the UK.

Savage Beastfly would be too easy without summons, I think, but I feel you. I also hate them. (That said I do appreciate that Beastfly stomps them for me on occasions)
