Brand new chain but I get slipping in cogs 2-5ish

Not a bent hanger?

“I became a landlord almost by accident. Our neighbour was having difficulties selling his bungalow and the owner on the other side already had a portfolio of properties he rented out so we jumped at the chance to go in 50:50 and learn from him,” he said.

In the end, their would-be business partner couldn’t afford the investment, so Mr Shields and his partner bought the property outright for £164,000 before investing £20,000 to do it up.

Almost by accident. Meaning, I deliberately fucking invested £184k into being a landlord and it was not at all an accident in any way.

“However, what worried us most was the elimination of Section 21,” he said.

"We were forced to evict our 90-year old tenant because we were scared that we wouldn't be able to evict him later. In other words, we were always going to evict a 90-year-old, but it's Labour's fault we did it now"

Absolute cunts. Also the Telegraph: absolute cunts.

However, it was the threat of an even higher tax rate on capital gains from property – widely thought to be under consideration in October’s Budget – that finally made the decision for him.

If the Government decided to increase the tax on gains from property, sales analysis shows the average landlord would be £11,000 worse off.

“Speculation varied but some had the rate going as high as 45pc,” he said. “Turns out that Rachel Reeves didn’t put up capital gains on rental properties but I still feel it is not worth the effort now.

They sold because of the cunts in the Telegraph speculating on what Reeves was going to do.

For this to work you'd need basically every long term member to be familiar with the moderation guidelines and 18 types of harm in the Ofcom guidance etc... for example, as Dammit was saying, can we be sure that a majority of people are going to correctly interpret freedom of expression etc. rather than just deleting things they don't like? Personally I feel like it's easier to have 10-50 people who are familiar with the moderation rules in depth and encourage other users to make liberal use of report functionality.

I think it might also be a little sketchy if we then have a single person who is liable for the decisions of a random group of anonymous people doing moderation through consensus, without any ability to overrule things when they feel that the wrong decision has been made and puts them at risk of Ofcom intervention

I'm happy to get stuck into code if I can help on that front

I think before you can even strategise on what is needed there need to be multiple people working through the Ofcom guidance as well as the legislation. That is unfortunately going to be hundreds of pages. The interpretation as applied to LFGSS needs to be documented somewhere. Possibly there then needs to be some actual legal advice.

It seems like it would be very easy to put together a moderation team as there are plenty of highly-engaged, somewhat-responsible users. I would suggest way more than 10 though, as we probably need round-the-clock cover. With 10 mods, if the only US moderator is on holiday and a troll shows up at 3 AM, no one's going to catch it.

A one-off crunch effort on the tech side to build things like a report function, checking content, etc. is probably easily achievable too, with a smaller amount of ongoing maintenance effort

Edit: the guidance does say that a single named person needs to be accountable for online safety as well. So someone has to take that burden.

Thanks all, I'll give that a shot

Any advice for this? I need to reinstall my cleats tonight before a ride this evening. Can't decide between grease or Loctite but leaning towards copper grease.

• Trading212 and InvestEngine offer free S&S ISAs and SIPPs. No fee at all, but they are small companies so there's a little bit more risk and things like transferring out might be more complicated.
  
• Dodl offers S&S ISAs and SIPPs and has a minimum fee of £1/mo, but above £8k it's the same fees as Vanguard used to have - 0.15%. It is own by AJ Bell so isn't likely to go bust.
  
  

I'm probably going to move to Dodl I think.

Edit: that's for people with "small" amounts like me. If you have more than £100k you probably want to look at the providers who charge a flat fee.

It is difficult to make sense of it but here's a table:

Would it not be SRAM dub? https://winstanleysbikes.co.uk/sram-dub-bottom-bracket

Is it physically possible to remove a cleat bolt without destroying it? Every fucking time they get frozen into the base plate. What am I doing wrong? Loctite? Grease? Only ride in the dry? Buy new shoes every 3 months?

There's nothing to explain. Bunny ate the flowers.

People just don't get LLMs ("AI").

They have no concept of truth. They just produce text that is statistically similar to other text that exists in the world. That's it. That's all they do. It doesn't push anything at you. You ask it for some randomly generated text that is similar to other text in the world, and it randomly generates some text.

If you're playing Monopoly and you roll a dice and land on someone's hotel and go bankrupt, the dice hasn't done anything wrong

I think they have become something of a "default" investment platform and probably they've got a load of 20 year olds signing up based on advice from Instagram/Youtube who go on to invest £150 and leave it sat there for 8 years. Nothing wrong with that, but a percentage-based fee and no barrier to entry means costs are probably mounting and it's becoming more trouble than it's worth to deal with.

Breakeven point on the £4/mo vs. 0.15% is £32k so the closer you are to that the less impactful the change is.

That would be a self-managed ISA.

Bastards

I'm on 63 GI in Edinburgh but I only use it for the pub and work. I do ride up and down cobbly streets often.

Maybe I am weak

If you could bet on whether the price will increase or decrease over some time period, I think you could effectively create a price tracker out of a series of bets which could end up being CGT-free. But that seems incredibly stupid and borderline fraudulent. Fun idea though.

Awful. RIP Hayley

Okay so I've got it set up. ERG mode works fine with the Wahoo app on Android.

I don't seem to be able to connect it to my PC through Bluetooth for GoldenCheetah though. Does the Kickr Core need a dedicated ANT+ thing or is Bluetooth fine? I don't think my phone (Pixel 8) has ANT+ support

Maybe the PC just needs to be closer to the trainer

Edit: I am thinking out loud to myself here basically

That Zwift bike is just a Kickr Core with an adjustable bike frame on top of it so it could take a cassette if I swapped the frame out.

How much does changing gear really matter though? I'm gonna be in ERG mode all the time

Ordered that Zwift one with 20% off, let's see how it goes
