American Express charge merchants higher fees so many don’t accept them, and treat them with disdain.

Would advise against using a debit card for anything. Credit cards give better consumer protection, less hassle if your card gets cloned, and (if used sensibly) help your credit rating.

By and large, rich people invest in real estate because, in most urban areas, it is an increasingly scarce, and therefore increasingly valuable asset. It's a good investment. The solution is not to give up and stop building real estate

She is an irrational actor who is preventing a more efficient allocation of a scarce resource. If she weren’t so notably irrational, the New York Times wouldn’t be writing an article on her.

Looking at the photos, this looks more like an event space than a store. Still, good to see the Raspberry Pi team continuing to fulfil their mission.

No extra friction if you set up a direct debit to pay in full every month from the shared bank account.

Can you not buy things like bottled and canned drinks from places on Deliveroo? I suppose you could resell those.

I wouldn’t use my debit card for any purchases. More protections and less hassle using a credit card.

To be triple clear, any sort of claim about about economic performance 14 years in the future is utter nonsense.

To be clear, the scare-mongering implied all these things would happen near enough immediately following a leave vote.

> Remain was what it says on the tin stay in the EU and any desired changes happen within the system of the EU. That's simply not true. Both remain and leave campaigns were backed up by dubious or misleading claims about what the fu

As you say, it's a complicated topic. > However the UK gets far more economic benefit than it spends, and the poorest of communities like South Wales have had far more spent on it in targeted social programmes by the EU than has eve

I use mpd/ncmpcpp and couldn’t be happier. It’s lightweight, responsive, and makes me feel like I have much more control over my music. I have it always open in the corner of my sceeen with a tiling window manager.

Compared to property prices it is a relatively small amount, and regressive in the extreme. You could own a multi-million pound property in Kensington, and the sum of taxes you pay each year would be £2,246.14 [1] [1] https://www

To cut a long story short, I initiated an inward transfer with Gandi and paid accordingly. It was a premium domain for a new gTLD so quite expensive (~€150 for one year) There was an issue with their transfer authorization emails -- one was

It's not full TOTP support, but they do now offer 2FA via an Authy OneTouch implementation.

Gandi are expensive and I had a nightmare experience where they literally lost one of my domains on an inward transfer. Customer service was unhelpful and downright rude. Never had any problems with Namecheap.

Why would you make a voluntary payment to SLC (assuming it was voluntary as most repayments are through PAYE)? That is quite an unusual thing to do.

For a small business, getting a solicitor involved is a big expense. I agree it would probably expedite a resolution, but at what cost?

by djmobley 9y ago
Exactly. Getting a solicitor involved may be a (very expensive) means of expediting a resolution, but I don't see on what grounds you could follow through with legal action.

I think you're confusing the address bar autocomplete functionality with something more sinister. It's simple and straightforward to disable the autocomplete functionality in Chrome.

Larger employers typically offer season ticket loans, repaid pre-tax through a salary sacrifice arrangement, so you can effectively discount the cost by your marginal tax rate. Higher rate (40%) tax payers therefore only pay £3,000 for a £5
