I usually only watch UKTV Gold and I've been seeing an advert pop up in the last few days selling buy to let mortgages. Have I been imagining things? [edit] The angel number 336 is a symbol of love. Embrace the love that is currently in your life. The angels want you to experience the truth of love and sincerity of a person. The angels can see that your heart has much to give, and love is on top of the list. They do not want you to hold back anymore hence you are constantly seeing the angel number 336.

Don't worry, this click bait contains lots of severe errors, so we're not in any dangers. Besides our own stupidity, of course. The most important error: -Galaxies aren't really dying. The phenomenon being talked about refers to certain conditions which can shutdown the creation of new stars. At worst, this creates a static galaxy of slowly cooling red dwarf stars, but there's nothing "killing" them, neither literally nor metaphorically.

Sanitary Naptime posted:https://twitter.com/gpearthur/status/1176494228010143744?s=21 His Wiki page is fun quote:In 2016, it was reported that Odey saw his personal fortune plummet by £200 million after profits at Odey Asset Management suffered a significant decline. His salary was slashed as profits were down nearly 45% from the previous year.[22][23] In 2016, Odey was a "prominent" backer of Brexit,[24] arguing it would allow the UK to govern itself.[25] Later that year, his hedge fund won about 15% of its value following the results of Brexit.[26] Overall, his flagship fund made losses of almost 50 percent in 2016, and in 2016, and the firm's operating profits dropped from 44.3 million pounds to 18.6 million pounds.[13] But also "Odey founded Odey Asset Management in 1991.[11] George Soros was one of the original investors, seeding Odey $150 million" is funny considering how many Brexit supporters tend towards antisemitic conspiracy theories about Soros.

bessantj posted:I did wonder why the NHS doesn't do this already. There must have been the brains, will and money there to do it at some point and it seems only natural that they have one. Because the current mantra is to contract out anything and everything to various private companies. On a doctors’ FB group this week an (NHS) consultant was posting about being asked to do an extra session, paid for by the NHS, working for a private company, during which she would be seeing NHS patients that the private company has been contracted to see in order to reduce the NHS backlog

Sanitary Naptime posted:We found some software to dictate it and it was a loving disaster. Yeah figures a bunch of UK regional accents would be a disaster for voice recognition software  Thanks so much for trying! Here's a possibility: upload to YouTube and allow googles auto generated subtitles to do their work. They've improved a ton in the last few years and I believe there's some mechanism by which you can manually correct errors in them.

StarkingBarfish posted:Hey Dr. Fruitbat and mancgoonians in general, I'm about to move to Manchester. Is it a terrible idea to consider buying a house (guillotines aside) in between swinton and salford if it's all I can afford? I'd be cycle commuting to the uni and it looks doable but traffic sounds a bit poo poo. Do you mean Salford uni or the main uni? I live up Swinton way, and getting into town is pretty easy. There are dedicated bus lanes right into town, and cycle lanes through Salford and the town centre, so while traffic is a bit of a shitter you should be fine if you aren't driving. Withington to the south also has solid cycle routes, if you can afford it.

I'd be cycle commuting to the uni and it looks doable but traffic sounds a bit poo poo. I lived around there, just north of the hospital for a bit. The traffic is poo poo and that particular A road is kind of ugly and busy, but it wasn't the worse place I lived in Manchester. Stretford and Withington are alright, Stockport has great train links and walks. I'd check the zones on the tram and work out how much you could be using it, then don't bother with Wythenshawe or Bury unless you need to go to the hospital for something regularly or like a meat market, respectively.

Cheers, I saw there's good bus links- still looked like a 40m commute by bus though, as I'd need to change in the center or walk it. The cycle lanes looked good but as I've not ridden there I wasn't sure how well connected they are. Probably going to put in an offer this week. Pretty anxious about it but also anticipating being able to grow veggies for the first time in my life in my own garden

Problem I had when looking was that anywhere on the tram was 2x the price per square meter and none had garden space. All the academics I know reckon Chorlton is great but they moved in 5-10 years ago and gentrified the hell out of the prices. I figure given that Swinton has quite a high average age it's due for some generational renewal. The people I might be buying off are moving out to retire and the places nearby have just had young families moving in so I'm feeling positive about it.

re: train chat I went on the tiny train to Dungeness a few weeks ago. It's a weird place, it seems like quite a few people live there, but the houses are all ramshackle and just dotted around the place with no rhyme or reason, and there's nothing else there except shingle, rusting old boats, and then the nuclear power station looming over it all. There's an amazing little shack where they sell lobster rolls and fried fish flatbreads though, which made the trip mostly worth it.
