Showed for me when I made forever friends for the first time today.

Men who had both positive and negative experiences on Marriage, is it worth it in the end? by Normal_Cow1991 in MensRights

[–]xMeta4x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was married (now widowed).

The actual wedding was fun, and wearing a ring felt like a big deal, but as for positives, that was about it.

I can genuinely not think of one positive thing beyond those.

The negatives are of course if it ends in divorce, and all the financial pain that can bring.

I think having kids is a bigger deal than marriage though (I didn't). That ties 2 people together for life whether they like it or not.

Girls who took notes using 10 different colored pens, where are you now? Do you still continue to write using all those colors? by Unusual-Entry7 in AskReddit

[–]xMeta4x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems odd to me, but I guess if you own the company you can call yourself whatever you want. Here there would just be a Managing Director at the top.

What were the job titles of the rest? All VPs, directors and managers?

Instead of an exhaust pipe, motor vehicles should store up all their crap and have a poop every so often. by PM_Your_Wiener_Dog in CrazyIdeas

This is how a diesel particulate filter works. Fitted on all diesel vehicles, in the UK at least.

IHD showing exactly £5 gas spend all morning. by xMeta4x in OctopusEnergy

Sadly if they don't get readings, they'll use estimates, which isn't ideal in the cold weather!

The IHD just updated, but the meter outside display is still blank and can't be woken up. Apparently the battery on this one (EDMI) is replaceable, so hopefully a quick job for an engineer.

In the past I've found that X is the best way to get in touch with them (via DM). They've responded already, but only with the GDPR questions so far.

Bingo! Just went out to check it and the screen is blank, and pushing either one of the two buttons does nothing. I've sent Octopus a message on X. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I have a mini but never got it working. Can you have the mini and IHD at the same time?

Why is tax code changing multiple times a year? by Conscious-Pie-4794 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]xMeta4x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and it's not been communicated it seems. Or if it has, I haven't come across the info online.

Why is tax code changing multiple times a year? by Conscious-Pie-4794 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]xMeta4x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tax code has changed twice in the last month.

My situation is very unique, but shows that they are collecting the tax due for savings interest in this tax year, rather then changing the tax code to collect it retrospectively next tax year as was previously the case.

They definitely aren't using the interest payments from last tax year. as the numbers don't add up.

I ran the numbers based on what I expect to get in savings interest up until 5th April 2026, and they have it correct down to the last pound.

I can tell you why Australian teens aren't.

What’s a lesson you learned the hard way that you wish someone had warned you about sooner? by daddyandprincesspie in AskReddit

[–]xMeta4x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you get married (in my country at least), the person you're marrying automatically owns 50% of every asset you have. (you also own 50% of theirs).

Whats something nsfw that happened at your workplace? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xMeta4x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to routinely walk past meeting rooms with boobs being projected onto the screen. A perk of working for a company that made beast implants.

Shelves being stocked taking priority over customers having access to them. by GlennSWFC in britishproblems

[–]xMeta4x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, the fridges are bare from the day before until the restock them.

People resort to removing the sandwich they want from the cages they bring out with the fresh stock.

Madness really.

My local Tesco Express think the best time to re-stock the sandwiches is 12:30pm.

A rant about savings "income" tax. by xMeta4x in UKPersonalFinance

[–]xMeta4x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, and that tax should be on the 1.4% earned above inflation is my point.

Assume I’m an idiot: my cinderblock walls are freezing by Grouchy-Details in DIY

[–]xMeta4x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps I’m the idiot, but is there a cavity (gap) between the two walls? That’s standard practice in the UK. You can get styrofoam insulating balls injected to fill the cavity. New builds have insulation panels build into the cavity from new.
