    Baltimore Bridge

    Woke up to this... not good. What a terrifying scenario to play out. This is normally stuff that we would see happen in China/Russia etc. What a mess. 1) Loss of life, vehicles in water :( 2) Port is basically closed I assume, so this will have knock on effects. (Obviously this isn't a...

    Pension fund performance - do you monitor yours, how is it doing, do you actively change it?

    I contribute 7% at present, and my company matches upto 6%, so currently 13%. 401k though, so not a pension). I didn't start this till a few years ago now and I am now in my mid forties, so not a great position. I only have about 2/3s of my salary in there as of right now. I should still...

    Cyprus - Car Shennanigans

    Enjoy. My sister was born in Cyprus and I was there as a little kid having fun in the sun for some years. It isn't the same as it was in the late seventies/eighties, as it has a ridiculous amount of Russian money there now unfortunately :( If I recall correctly, my Dad bought a Datsun...

    Car theft - is it out of control?

    Professionals? They are criminals. Get a grip... just because there are a few people doing bat **** crazy things doesn't mean I won't secure my property. Grow some balls. Obviously a car isn't worth your life, but to suggest you should take measures to secure your property is bonkers. "CCTV...

    Car theft - is it out of control?

    Is this sarcasm? Don't secure your property because people might break in? The cowardice is frightening in itself.

    Is Amazon delivery getting worse?

    Yes. It is getting worse even in the US. I believe they are doing what they did at Uber, and doing a cost drive to the bottom. Amazon is just full of Chinese junk now, rather than western branded goods (that has actual quality control on them), so I'm using Amazon less and less.

    Legal to exceed speed limit exception?

    The implementation of law is often petty. In the USA, it is illegal to break a red light and you might even get a ticket if you are moving out the way of an emergency vehicle that hasn't flicked the lights to green. Common sense and common sense exceptions often don't apply unless you have a...

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

    Not sure if I commented already, but this year, we got kind of stiffed on raises. Our private company bought another large company, so between wanting to pay down debt for that, and being uncertain about the economic outlook, they short changed us. This wasn't just me. Even someone with an...

    Red Sea / Houthi rebels situation

    Can you clarify what you mean by that? The houthis are pretty well equipped. These are not Somali pirates, but an actual formed army.

    Are you a top revenue earner?

    I thought about it at the time lol. I just didn't have the capital lol. (and lack of personal experience in playing around with that stuff).

    Are you a top revenue earner?

    £100k to £200k (I'm also accounting for USD to GBP) - Software Engineer. I highly doubt I will be in the 'golden handcuffs' of 200+ anytime soon lol. These days, I think the only way to really get rich is either do investment, or have your own business.

    Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

    I live in Philly, next to one of the most violent neighborhoods in America. You think I don't know a thing or two about it?

    Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

    Lessons learnt from 'medical' variants here in the USA. You knew it would happen.. as soon as it became 'legal' the government found ways to make it extremely expensive for those that actually needed it for anything medicinal. It's fairly easy to get a card. My wife had one, as she has...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Anyone watch the Speak the Truth video from today where Matt is over the video (audio mostly) of SOF commander saying they will stay in the city against orders. Unsure if he made it, but he was found heavily wounded when a counter attack went in. God, I hate the fact that we have failed to...

    Indeed. Tucker doesn't do journalism, he does entertainment.

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Even whilst my wife was in Ukraine/Russia, journalists that spoke out on Russia would routinely end up without a head.

    Pension fund performance - do you monitor yours, how is it doing, do you actively change it?

    Might still have a pension in the UK from gov work... Will need to check at some point. Have a 401K here (not as good as a pension). Recently started putting more in, not enough to fully fund, but my employer matches up to 6% so I made sure to take advantage of that. I am really going to need...
