Crusts go rock hard and the rest is too piping hot to eat out of the microwave. There’s a significant proportion of British people of a certain ages who’s formative impression of American pizza is this.

Truly Tesco’s generosity knows no bounds.

What’s even more depressing is they come in packs of 2 and he’s only been given one of them.

Wait times are a factor of the number of doctors though. Like in the UK private health insurance may let you skip the queue, but that’s only because there’s relatively few people capable or willing to take up the private slots. If everyone had health insurance then the “faster” pathway no longer exists (or more likely people who’re willing to pay more skip the queue).

LASIK isn’t life long, it corrects your vision at the time, if your prescription changes the LASIK is no longer effective. It comes down to how long you can reasonably keep a pair of glasses without breaking them.

I don’t think most people begrudge owners a reasonable profit, especially if they’re running things and taking an active role in the business and pay their workers well. It’s not unreasonable to have some cash squirrelled away for the business having hard times either.
For me the issue is megacorps who exploit workers shaving working conditions and benefits until it’s bare bones, expecting more work from fewer people at higher quality, paying the bare minimum after being lucky enough to be the first to market with some idea so they’re in a completely dominant position and making billions.

I’m not really sure if you read my original post or not, it doesn’t have anything at all to do with what someone should or shouldn’t do when someone invades their home. It’s entirely to do with the “he had it coming”/“he deserved it” attitude a lot of responses seem to have.
- Comment on Intruder 2 weeks ago:
Well, no, you’ve gone from “threat” to “threat to life” that’s a leap. I’m not sure where it disagrees with my original premise, I’m not sure it has anything to do with my original premise.

You appear to have completely missed the point of my post and focussed on a side point. There’s a world of difference in defending yourself and thinking someone deserves death for entertaining a house.
To your other points, first off I haven’t said anything about the rights or wrongs of the child defending themselves, I’m not sure why you’re making the argument about that. I do however disagree there’s a basic assumption that anyone entering a house uninvited has no regard for the health and wellbeing of inhabitants. The rest of the post just looks like leap after leap from that point forward.

Do you lack reading comprehension skills?
- Comment on Intruder 2 weeks ago:
That sounds utterly unhinged if I’m honest.
- Comment on Intruder 2 weeks ago:
Do you really think breaking and entering deserves a death sentence? I’m not condoning it by any means, but equally death seems like a disproportionate response, not to mention the long term effects this is bound to have on the child.

Sorry, I’ve misunderstood I thought you were talking about the average musician earning £14k.
- Comment on Dormant Assets Scheme: Allocating £350 million for England 3 weeks ago:
They should start teaching money management in school though. It’s ridiculous I had to learn about how drastic compound interest is my 30s. I’m not intelligent but I feel like if someone pointed out 20k put away in my teens and early twenties would set me up for financial security later in life and provided me an easy way to ferret that away I’d be a ton less stressed now.

We’ll bankrupt the NHS if we’re all living on fois gras and wagyu, my arteries are bound to be struggling as it is.

I’ve been wanting to go for years, especially around Christmas, but it’s a bit of a trek from NI and money’s always tight this time of year. Maybe I’ll get some time.

I’m lost, if they’re under the threshold why would you need to set up a company to make yourself under the threshold?

Unspecified amount which is greater than two.

I’m willing to bet the poster isn’t aware just about every website they visit is built on an open source stack.

Not sure it’s grey, it’s great when big corporate give back, just ot when they take over and pervert the ideals of open source to their breaking point.

I’m not saying you you should or shouldn’t, but if you did, I’ve heard it’s possible to access a backup of the original even if you don’t have an original disc.

- Comment on There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? 1 month ago:
I don’t think you’re being insulted, just that the limit can be unobtainable by 99% of people and still be effective. Personally I think that’s a possible thing, but also a pointless thing, a wage cap is going to do nothing to redistribute Jeff Bezos’ wealth in a sensible manner.
- Comment on BBC tours hospital Israel says sits above Hezbollah gold 1 month ago:
I skim read the title and made assumptions. Substitute Palestinians for Hezbollah in my previous post, doesn’t really have any bearing on how difficult it is to spin it.
