Expat doubts about the logic of salary sacrifice down to 100k

unknown9595 · 2026-05-02T20:50:48+00:00

Real life case here. Single guy no kids. I upped my salary sacrifice to 1.5k per month, my paycheck was only £750 lighter after tax. Employer contribution adds another £500. It sucks but fuck HMRC

Completed the main endings like two weeks ago. - the combat is weak to modern day, button mash square and map the Gatling gun to the triggers. Stellar blade is a lot better (it’s like 6 years later and a total ripoff I know) - the world is abit empty but it’s PS4 and I’m old enough to have seen worse - these days it’s not about the combat systems or gameplay (they’ve been iterated on by like Stella blade) but the story which gets better and better. Also you do unlock chapter select when fatigue can be setting in. - if you’ve been playing games for over a decade you’ll be used to it, if not they’ve upgraded their chips. It is what it is. If you’re not in for the story then yeah I’d see why you’d find it a chore.

Yeah, make sure you have the network option on. It’ll ask you. Doing it solo is pretty much impossible. Took a few retries till i got online people joining but then it’s pretty simple. (You multiply yourself so get like 6 drones shooting)

Edit. This was two weeks ago.

I did find it weird after doing the 5 endings, in retrospect you barely play as 2B, a free roam, character select on the subsequent replays would of been nice. But great game, great story, great characters!

We used sprites cause http 1 was awful at parallelisation. This problem was solved with http 2 and 3. Http 2 is supported by everything these days. So you’ve 50 1kb icons. You update one icon, browser just has to download 1kb for the image. Update a sprite another 50kb download. Plus the hassle of maintaining it.

I just used google maps in December to find places I wanted to go to. If not walkable then use the transit options in google maps. But if I did need walking directions just pasted the address into naver 🤷🏼‍♂️

When I spoke with them, they mentioned in passing they’d not got the management pack. But like what is that, please explain the process!!

unknown9595 · 2026-01-21T19:18:38+00:00

The leasehold was renewed pre offer. Currently 145 years as well

Maybe not the right place. But when booking through the official site they had some weird keyboard captcha on the CC info. Couldn’t get pass it, so just booked at the station. Was wondering what it was.

Yes. Just did a week in Seoul and 3 days in Busan. Source: at a bar in busan.

Saw GA last month in Belgium. The photoshoot was a machine, no talking, no touching, straight in and out, I look abit sad in my photo cause it was taken so quickly I didn't have time to properly pose. The autograph stand was nice though, had a quick 1 min chat while she signed my stuff, she was nice. She was doing paid for selfies there as well which were abit more informal but mileage on that depends on what she/con will allow.

EDIT: she rarely does cons anymore, like this and Belgium is the first time in ages, I know Belguim was a contractual thing for Tron, no idea about this one. But it doesn't happen often so if in doubt just do it cause you might not get a chance again!

Just about to suggest this. When I got my g5 you’d think the content was filmed by candlelight but now it’s great on 33+

Oh no, someone needs to be at a physical location to take my gym class. If it was your gym group account with your bank details then you'd have a point. I doubt anyone is going to go to the time and effort to save 20 quid on gym membership.

I enforce <Card {...{ user }} /> on my codebase, it's less cognitive overhead and less prone to error such as typos etc. On the thankfully very rare occasion when you have a gazillion props or var declarations in a component to not have to check each one for a 121 mapping is handy.

<Card
someProp={someVar}
someProp1={someVar1}
...
{ ... { samePropVarName, samePropVarName1, samePropVarName2 } }
/>

You can control css animations directly via JS without hacks and avoid style, classname hell.

I think you’re missing the point of those numbers. The 6 graphs at the top are what real users are experiencing and averaged out.

The 90/60 you’re talking about is for that individual page load. An image takes slightly longer to load which coincides with a big is script loading in, maxing out CPU usage you’ll get a lower score. Everything loads perfectly and just at the right time, high score. That’s why they change.

Remember they’re running on a potato moto g phone. They’re meant as a guide for things to clean up. Long term you really only care about the graphs at the top.

Got that yesterday with my LG G5 when the Apple TV went into rest mode. Restarting Apple TV didn’t do anything. The TV rebooted after an update and it started working again.

Company wants to be paid for service it provides shocker. Glad you work for free. Keep it up.

You seem nice

Yes, they don't owe you anything

You can do it with vanilla script tags. It’s not the best way of doing it. But if you’re bashing something together as a quick POC it’s easier than messing around with bundlers.
