    Do you charge your children "keep" or rent? Do/did you pay it yourself?

    I paid keep and never expected it back. My parents didn't earn much so it's the least I could do! I also have never given a thought to inheriting anything later, they will need it for their care. I find it odd that some would expect it back! Nice if they can afford to do that but don't expect...

    Are Jeans becoming unfashionable?

    I couldn't give a **** if I'm fashionable, as long as I'm not scruffy. So I'll carry on wearing jeans!

    AMD Zen 5 rumours

    I've come from the 386 as a first PC and always cared about performance for personal projects, gaming, work (kubernetes etc), android app development, etc, but I think my 3800XT is enough. I don't see a need to upgrade which is a bit sad! I think the most turmoil I've but my PC through recently...

    Plot twist, he works for the mafia, and the HR department can be quite... direct.

    Anyone had issues with Blizzard refunds? They're refusing a refund and making up reasons why.

    Raise a complaint, if that doesn't work go to the ombudsman (if there is one) or write to the CEO where it will be dealt with by the high level complaints team instead.

    Red Sea / Houthi rebels situation

    Surely this was a great excuse to take out Iran's problematic done manufacturing. Now they will just relocate before the strikes?

    Mine runs until retirement so unless anything changes I'm probably not going to appreciate the extra as I'll be on a **** pension!

    Best Albums of 2023

    My album of the year is Red, White and Bruised: The Midnight Live. I saw them live in a packed Rock City, and had no idea Synthwave had such a following. The songs hit much harder live as they changed the arrangements and even added a female vocalist. The sax and guitar solos were spectacular...

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    I took out a 2y discount tracker in May 2023. A comparable fixed 2 year at the time was 5.6% I believe as a first time buyer. I started by winning, on 4.9%. I'm currently losing on 5.9%. and I guess I might be winning again by the time the 2 years is up if I'm lucky!

    So, this post office palaver then

    Pathetic from government that they are only being seen to act now that it would benefit them in the public eye. They were well aware before the documentary. We need to see execs being held accountable for their dishonesty rather than just being able to hop to another executive role, where past...

    2023 - how's it been for you?

    Family healthy. Finally been able to buy a house, at 38. Kids doing well in school. Got a promotion and rise. So pretty good year all in, and I'm enjoying doing bits around the house that I never would/could add a renter. Not all rosy though, money is super tight due to mortgage, interest...

    advertising of laptop resolution vs scaling

    Scaling doesn't matter as it takes a few seconds to change. The resolution is the resolution. This thread makes no sense.
