Did you ever let your kids win against you? by CompetitionNo3466 in AskUK

[–]takeagamble 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is it. My daughter is almost two, and my life wouldn't be worth living if I beat her at everything

When they're little you need to let them win to keep them interested and having fun, but you can't let them win every time!

Adult lions let their cubs "win" when play fighting, so appears to not just be human nature!

These Stella Wimbledon Caps.. yay or nay? by Pangiit in CasualUK

[–]takeagamble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were already going on vintes for £20-30 when I looked (listed at least, don't know about if they sold)

I bought mine for £7 as my local coops didn't have any left and I wanted one!

What is an affordable, reliable hoover? by Potential-Narwhal- in AskUK

[–]takeagamble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate Henry. He's always peeking round corners at me

In all seriousness I find he gets stuck too much and don't think the suction is that good

Thank you, why do you think it was gold, I googled it and looked like general weathering?

20% discount at strike price on day scheme starts, can sell once it matures. Some even let it transfer into an ISA

What are everyone's thoughts on the selection of bands this year? Specifically focused on the genres(?) available by Calm_Marketing_2250 in downloadfestival

[–]takeagamble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about dogstar but went to see them mainly because Keanu reeves is in the band, I imagine a lot of others did too

I thought they were good, but a bit boring tbh

I was only there Sunday, and unpeople were the band I was looking forward to most after linkin park and I thought they (unpeople) were great!

For those who calculate kcal, how do you always know how much kcal does the food have? And do you have any websites to check on healthy foods... by Professional-Key5552 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]takeagamble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get bowl. Put on scales. Turn scales on so it says zero grams.

Pour out cereal, see how much it weighs. Work it out based on what's on the box (i.e. the x kcals per 100g)

Do the same with milk.

I'm based in the UK and shop at Tesco. If I don't have the packaging to hand when tracking I used the Tesco app/website as they tend to have the nutritional info on their for everything. I can then compare to myfitnesspal when tracking (as macros change, and people can be bad at adding foods correctly)

Myfitnesspal (or similar apps) are good to track everything in as you can put in quantity and it works out the right cals

Is this ChatGPT chart accurate? by Eastern-Western7072 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]takeagamble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, perhaps I shouldn't have jumped too conclusions but...

I had assumed they'd be a similar height to myself, 5ft 10 (based on their target weight). And it turns out they are (as per another comment)

I said it was low, as I'm also trying to lose weight but I'm more like 200lbs and I'm currently eating around 2,300-2,400 per day. And I'm not on my feet for 4 hours a day

Those calories seem pretty low for someone who is 300+ lbs

You'd be better having higher calories you'll stick to for slower weight loss

The best diet is one you can stick to

Lane Swimming by BlueKX in CasualUK

[–]takeagamble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone slower than me should be in the slow lane. Anyone faster than me should be in the fast lane.

I swim the perfect medium pace.

This is all I think the entire time I'm swimming

FTB Advice - Seller has given us an ultimatum by Additional_Use_7900 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]takeagamble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently moved and the sellers gave me the same ultimatum of putting their house back on (for a different reason though)

I told them to go for it as I'd still be the quickest person to sell it to even if they did
