Wouldn’t it be a trifle rather than a tart?

Unfortunately that doesn’t appear to be in our corporate-approved suite 😭😭

I wonder if I can use copilot in outlook to do something similar

Didn’t use cortana directly, but the “auto block out focus time” in my work diary was a freaking game changer and I am pissed they took it away.

It quickly gets dissolved into the abyss of the mind, I get that! I lived in Japan for 4 years and can only remember a few useless bits.

Not too bad overall if you don’t know any French though!

Sorry… it says sorry not sorry 😅😅

keep in mind, you fuck up a steak at a cooking job you’re out the cost of the meal + time.

What? Where?

1940s Parker vacumatic skyline.

Writes like a dream and it is neat to use a piece of history.

Don’t forget that if you renounce they publish your name on a list of people who have renounced citizenship.

Absolutely ridiculous that we are even required to file, only the US and Eritrea run a system like this.

Add onto that the US requires forms even for people resident and working in the US (rather than the tax system of most developed nations where a majority of taxpayers have their taxes deducted from their wages and everything is calculated by that country’s tax authority), and you’ve got yourself a double shitshow.

Sure it might not be the most difficult thing to do but damn it is stupid.

Do you have common law marriage where you live? In some places you are considered “common law” married after living together for a certain amount of time, which can help in estate settlement.

I have the same problem but it’s two watches (despite turning off the setting that means either watch should have an alarm linked to the phone)

As others have mentioned, core exercises will be key here.

Some more traditional non-core exercises like squats and deadlifts will be engaging your core muscles (and a reminder that your ‘core’ is your whole trunk/body and not just your abs!), but you can progress this along with additional core exercises.

As someone that sits a lot for work, I really like to do ‘supermans’ and variations of them, a basic one is to lie flat on your stomach with arms and legs extended, then raise your arms and legs off the floor. You can hold, do them as reps, “swim” in the air, add in some pulls (like an overhead row if you have a resistance band or something you can attach in front of you).

Yoga has been mentioned below, but I would add Pilates to the list as well, there are plenty of core exercises to go at.

Not in this case as he is a minor so the records aren’t public.

I was not aware the share codes last that long now, the last time I used one (for work, although this was several years ago) it was only valid for 4 days and my employer refused to accept it which was a whole thing. I was under the (incorrect) impression that the system for border clearance would be worse than that. So I have changed my mind on this point despite your flippant comment, which was argumentative for no reason.

On the case of trusting the UK government to manage the immigration status digitally for people I still have my doubts. They don’t have the best track record.

I have my own UK passport now so I am a bit out of the loop but any sort of system where a person doesn’t have offline proof of their status that they can keep seems like it is open to issues (although physical only also has its issues so there are pros and cons no matter how you approach it).

I don’t quite understand why you are dismissing this person’s concerns like this. The codes are available for a very short period so there is a chance that if there is a WiFi or other network outage they genuinely could not get to the code.

It’s also not as though the UK has the best record when it comes to managing immigrants despite their promises.

You are welcome to do a quick google on what happened to Windrush immigrants, the trouble that EU immigrants have had post-brexit, and UKVI’s general rules, wait times, and fees. Much like the US, the UK’s immigration policy has been made highly hostile to many forms of immigration, limiting options for families and managing to bungle things at several junctures.

I agree that it is hard to put faith in a system like this where your immigration status relies on the availability of a network or even a single government site with no physical or offline backups.

He’s of Punjabi descent rather than black.

Hadn’t actually thought about this but it’s a good point, they are varying the T&Cs with no consideration here.

No it’s nothing to do with political affiliation at all,

And someone has already replied about the UK which is largely where my experience lies in this area.

Voter registration (entry onto the electoral roll) is additional confirmation that the address you are using for other credit/loan information is accurate.

It’s not, really, although it’s a bit more nuanced than that.

Credit scores are now taking in more information than ever, so things like your debt repayments as a % of your income (affordability) are feeding in as well.

For the people carrying credit card debt, one CRA might give you a better score if you carry a balance >0 but <25% of your total credit limit, and another it could be 0 to 40% so you will see some score variability.

If your utilisation is higher your score may suffer. This is only one aspect, though. Repayments on other debt (mortgages, utilities, mobile phones) play a part, as do things like voter registration and the time you have kept open your accounts. TransUnion is now incorporating BNPL (like Klarna) data for some reporting, although not sure it feeds into the score view yet).

I would highly recommend using whatever free apps are available for each of the CRAs (TransUnion, Experian and Equifax are the three main providers) to monitor your score.

For TransUnion you should be able to use the Credit Karma app in both the US and UK, and in the UK you also have the ClearScore app for Equifax score.

Experian in the UK is on the process of removing 3rd party app access (would have been MoneySaving Expert app before, but that’s moving to TransUnion).

A parliament has a maximum term of 5 years. Any change to the date of the next election will have a direct impact on the latest date of the next election.
