xtothez posted:The first advice people with this level of income get is to increase pension contributions where possible When do they get this advice, and from whom? There's a lot of animosity being wasted on higher paid people when it could be directed towards the tories who got us into this mess. That said, high paid folks quoted should just shut up moaning, it's not a good look.

Clyde Radcliffe posted:I made a few hundred quid betting on Trump becoming president and Brexit on the assumption that the shittiest outcome was most likely. That's a decent idea as a form of consolation. Only bet I ever did was as a group at the dog track, where we ended up for someone's stag do. The dog won, we let the stag keep the proceeds. Shares and crypoocurrencies, however...

xtothez posted:Something I'm curious on as I know we have a few medical-types who post here - for situations like this would the ultra-rich have a significantly better level of medical treatment than most people? Also wait times - no "okay so we saw a lump on the X-ray and we've scheduled a biopsy next week", I presume it'll all be as quick as possible.

Anyone know about getting covid vaccinations these days? I previously saw it posted in here that one could get them if you say you care for people (wife and I look after her grandparents with MS and COPD) and I got one that way last year, but I can't find that now. I am not above paying for one if NHS is not available, since I now also need to be around someone who is immunocompromised.

Tesseraction posted:You might have seen but the advice on the NHS website does seem to suggest your GP can just prescribe it to you if you make the case for it https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/covid-19/covid-19-vaccination/getting-a-covid-19-vaccine/ I'd normally dismiss this and just pay rather than wait 2 loving months for a GP appointment, but I happen to have an unrelated one tomorrow morning so might as well ask, thanks.

I don't get why folks are saying community fibre will have the best service. It might be the 'best' place for your money to go, but the best service comes from an ISP that has both the technical and organisational infrastructure to provide good service along with knowledgeable staff that aren't just reading from a script. A lot of new FTTP deployments will be like in the US where you have no choice of provider and therefore no incentive to maintain decent service. This is compounded given that most of them have had massive investment from private equity to get the fibre in the ground and eventually they're going to want a return on that investment - which means increasing margins and enshittification. I am with Zen and have been for years. I've worked in ISPs more than a decade (not Zen) and any time I've had to call, the person on the phone knows more about that technology than me.

Maugrim posted:Do you have a zen referral code or anything? Given how fed up we're getting with all the customer service we're dealing with lately, I'm gonna go with them. There is a Zen referral thing here: https://www.zen.co.uk/refer-a-friend Each person gets a £25 voucher, but I believe it involved sharing real names for if anyone does fancy doing it. I recently used it with a colleague.

An NHS consultant put me on the waiting list for a shoulder operation in February 2023, was told it could be up to 9 months. In May 2023 I got called to be asked if I'd like it to go to a private hospital to save my waiting. And now I'm due to have it in May 2024, great work. The private consultant of course didn't want to trust the other one, so wanted to re-validate all diagnostics.

If you scroll down, there are some rather interesting characters in there, listed on a modern website entirely without context or other mention. It's quite surreal. I mean if you're looking for folks who are highly motivated to pursue people...

WhatEvil posted:I had a car insurer - 1stCentral - somehow manage to open 2 separate policies for me on the same car, with wildly different start dates. I spoke to them a load of times wasting literally hours on hold, was assured that it would be closed, that they would stop asking for money, that it was definitely dealt with this time... until I got a letter from them saying that if I did not pay it would be sent to bailiffs. Are they a bunch of useless cunts then? They're showing up cheapest for me and I'm going to have to change my insurance imminently.

These representations of Plex must be put out by the likes of FACT or some other anti-piracy body, because they’re so unnecessarily convoluted. I’ve used a Plex server for more than a decade and my friend who also has one thinks I’m stupid for having it read from my NAS. I just download a torrent, put the file on my NAS, Plex indexes it. That’s it. My friend runs Plex on a server that also runs a torrent client and it has sonarr as a front end that lets you subscribe to a series, have it automatically download, and show up like it’s on a streaming service.

hosed-Up Little Dog posted:If Plex can track what episode I'm on that would be an advantage to my current system of my TV playing them from NAS because I've abandoned watching a series before because I couldn't be bothered to work out what episode to watch next It does this. It even does it if you delete the series and then add it again later, as I’ve found.

I don't know if you recall, but the tories investigated themselves for islamophobia some time ago and found themselves not guilty so there is clearly nothing to see here and we should all just move along. Running the country, delivering for working people etc.

I've heard exactly the same, but my theory is each responsible party might be a tiny bit more responsible if folks of another gender are present.

Gonzo McFee posted:Came to post that. A hard line anti immigration Tory who backed Liz Truss to be PM. I think accusations of Starmer being David Cameron in a red tie might be too generous. I knew she was the wife of Charlie Elphicke but I looked her up and saw: - Wife of Charlie Elphicke who got convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to two years - Supported his appeal against the sentence - "Found to have breached their code of conduct by the Commons Select Committee on Standards for attempting to influence senior judges in November 2020 in her husband's sentencing appeal after his conviction for sexual assault" - Sold the story of her divorce to The Sun for £25k Seems like a principled lady.
