    Best domain hosting (only need email forwarding)

    Also went to Stablepoint. I have 7 domain names, along with their 'Starter Web Hosting' pack. Not had any issues so far, and the range of configuration options, for email in particular, are just in another class compared to 123-Reg.

    Payraise.. how much do you expect? how much did you get?

    Got the promotion. 25.5% pay rise, plus bonus and equity. Pretty happy with that! :cool:

    Is 100k a large salary?

    Exactly. My income is approaching 100k, and honestly, it's more than enough to support a family of 4 in the East Midlands. My mortgage is only 570 a month though. I haven't looked at what mortgage we could bear if we wanted to max it, as I have no interest in being a mortgage slave, but it...

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

    My parents's didn't charge me (though I moved out of my own accord to go to uni (somewhat late-ish after a gap year)), never to return full-time and I probably wont charge my kids (they are still young). We don't need the money (or at least, don't at the moment). But I don't think adult kids...

    Dell U4025QW - 40" 5120x2160 120Hz

    Cheaper, sure. Arguably, well, yes, indeed! More to come, sure but that's always true - 3000/1 contrast ratio IPS black panels coming in future so I understand. Still not sure why you've taken against it really. You're clearly a fan of OLED, fine, but also say you're on your 4th? I for one am...

    Dell U4025QW - 40" 5120x2160 120Hz

    No-one's forcing you to buy it, or trying to convince you to, for that matter. I may buy it though. Horses for courses. Edit: Some folks just want a monitor without any worry or fuss...

    Dell U4025QW - 40" 5120x2160 120Hz

    £1600 on Dell's site. Whether you think that's a pants price is up to you. From my POV, it's not bad for one of the better monitors money can buy. It's similar money to a high-end 4080 or low-ish 4090 (which you may well need to drive this many pixels, so the TCO starts to get a bit steep I...

    Dell U4025QW - 40" 5120x2160 120Hz

    Check out these videos. It does seem like a noticable step forward for IPS technology. Can't compete with OLED's strengths, but doesn't have it's weaknesses either. Plus, OLED panels of this size and resolution aren't available yet as far as I know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdJNvw-PGgw...

    Ballot Paper - None of the Above (NOTA)

    Agreed. "It's a wasted vote" is what the two main parties want you to think, but there are (usually) other options as well. A lot of constituancies will have an independant standing at a general election, even if none of the other parties floats your boat.

    Ballot Paper - None of the Above (NOTA)

    Maybe, but will there be enough of those 'other people' for the petition to hit 10k (at which point the gov will say 'No'), never mind 100k (at which point the gov will say 'Nooooooo')? I have my doubts.

    Ballot Paper - None of the Above (NOTA)

    Without a meaningful path forward if the NOTA option wins, this is pointless. Re-running an election with different candidates, as the petition suggests, is a non-trivial undertaking and probably completely unfeasible at a national scale. And would it change anything? It would certainly be an...

    Dell U4025QW - 40" 5120x2160 120Hz

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdJNvw-PGgw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1z5TQNq5E8 Looks like this might be my next monitor. I WFH as a software developer, and have some concerns with OLED for productivity, even if it's great for games and movies. This might just tick all the boxes.

    Desk + built in chassis?

    I agree with this. I have designed, and am part-way through building, my own desk. It has taken years (yes, years!) and several interations of the design to get to a version that I felt I could commit to actually building, and a good chunk of that, indecision if you like, was due to working...

    Payraise.. how much do you expect? how much did you get?

    7.2% last year. Hoping for a promotion with 10-15% increase this year, but will be a month or two until I know.

    You don't know me. Don't you dare assume. Mainly, I don't like being falsely accused. Perhaps you've not been following my desk build project log? Perhaps you don't care. Perhaps you think a hundred posts debating the merits of the Israel war are more of a contribution. I don't recall how long...

    Your attitude is a large part of the problem. Them against us. Aggressive language. Setting the so-called community against each other. According to you, I'm not even a part of this community any more. Perhaps I never was. Not worthy. Less than. So be it. If this community does not value my...
