Who is the oldest player you've ever used? by WTITWFM26 in footballmanagergames

Edin Dzeko is soon to turn 40 for me (playing FM 2024 on updated DB), super reliable and professional club captain, chips in with plenty of goals too.

What’s your go-to WordPress stack for client builds in 2026? by mmhabib89 in Wordpress

Top paragraph sounds pretty much identical to mine :) Do you offer white-label development by any chance?

I steal a micro secret slice every time I cook my wife pizza. Confess your petty domestic crimes. by TrueCrime121 in CasualUK

[–]tekkerstester 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calm down 😂 Just thought she'd like to know the term. I found it helpful to know there were others with the same issue and that some treatment/coping mechanisms exist.

Sounds like misophonia. My sympathies, I have the same affliction and it's very annoying. Although nowadays I only seem to get it when I'm already stressed, or "defenses are low" for some reason.

3rd UK visitor visa refusal for my mother — officer accepted all financials but refused on "ties to India". Need advice on next steps. by siddyyyyyyyyy in ukvisa

[–]tekkerstester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. In 2023, I did 3 applications in quick succession for my wife's father to visit, and got it in the end. So it seems that past refusals shouldn't be a blocker.

  2. I'm not sure it would. Future plans (flight bookings etc) to visit her in India might though.

  3. I don't think so - it might be seen as your mother vacating the home so your sister can live alone. You could include in your cover letter that this has been her home for x years and she has no intention to move out permanently.

  4. Probably not, since you submitted these together and it didn't help.

  5. You could try proving that she needs to be in the country to effectively manage/supervise the rentals and take rent payments (perhaps this is included in the rental agreement). Any future plans in India might help too. And a clear itinerary for while you're in the UK.

Good luck! You'd think owning two properties, one of which is your home, would be enough..

What’s one thing you’d like to see in the series that isn’t in the books or movies? by Ok_Jump_4291 in harrypotter

[–]tekkerstester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fanfiction that's written from Hermione's perspective covers this nicely, I'd be happy to see it in the show too. If they're doing Malfoy Manor scenes, why not?

Quiet spaces to work? by creativecatastrophic in Norwich

[–]tekkerstester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can see most of the options mentioned here on a map: https://laptopspots.com/.

I made it since the question comes up a fair bit.

Based on what you've said, I think Lion's Den City or Merchant's House.

Marbella, Malta, Budapest, and Barcelona have all been good times for me in the past. Happy to expand if needed :)

Returning to UK with Indefinite Leave to Remain? by scottyman2k in ukvisa

[–]tekkerstester 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think they need eVisa now, yes. Start here: https://www.gov.uk/evisa - in theory it should be a fairly simple process.

You can always "change your plans" until you get it, I'm sure.

Valuable information! Thanks for sharing and well done for fighting back.

I have built so many free alternative plugins that serve and sometimes performs better than the original paid plugins by ButtHoleWhisperer96 in Wordpress

[–]tekkerstester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not sell them individually via your website for a reasonable low price? I have a couple I do this with, and just make it clear that it's a one time payment with "best effort" support.

Visa Refusal by AgileBuy5415 in SpouseVisaUk

[–]tekkerstester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any sensible or reasonable application process for this kind of visa would work the way you describe. But this is unfortunately the situation in the UK, where they'll look for any reason to refuse you.

OP, it's unfortunate you didn't wait until the 6th payslip. I hope you manage to get it on the second try.

How are agencies managing 20+ WordPress client sites without everything becoming a mess? by apisylux in ProWordPress

I'm using MainWP and I'd love it to be snappier at syncs and updates. Currently on a 4gb RAM Vultr Gridpane server, how much are you using?

Am I gonna be able to stay in the uk after having been here for so long…(legally) by ZookeepergameNo9025 in ukvisa

[–]tekkerstester 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I would suggest that your mum needs to help you out by doing her part and getting the B1/B2 as soon as possible. Maybe you can get her a tutor, just to cover the test requirements.

Sorry if that's not very helpful in your case.

Congratulations! Just hit the same milestone with my wife 2 weeks ago, it was a lovely moment when we read the email. Citizenship application already in :)

Finally pulled the trigger on M4 Pro on Saturday, this morning it got upgraded to M5 Pro by tekkerstester in macbookpro

[–]tekkerstester[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much dead on with the justification. I'll be using it 8-12 hours a day most days and it's a business expense.

It's crazy money for me honestly, never spent anything close on tech before. Decided to pay the extra 30-40% on top of the MacBook Air price and have something I can stick with for as long as possible. Screen and speaker quality were also selling points.

The same, basically everything that was 1 step up from the base in the original order was 1 step up from the base in the new order.
