PB just means Personal Best…

Is this official? Not sure about this.

FWIW, I was threatened on Reddit more than once with actual murder… people threatening to come to my house and kill me. Reddit’s general response was to… delete the chat message in question as a “resolution” to my complaint. AFAIK, that was the extent of their action. I at least have the impression that abusive users will be removed, though it might take a bit given the incredible influx of new users.

This is horrible, why do people think they can say this shit? I hope you reported this to the police? I’m pretty much most places this behaviour is illegal. It’s not a good look for Reddit to be complacent with illegal activity on their site.

Edit: massive typos

Yes quite right 👍 you are correct.

I am merely expressing the sentiment that has angered so many.

RedHat, the first billion dollar open source company gets bought by IBM and goes closed source.

Plot twist, Wagner dude takes over Russia in largely unchallenged coup, tracks down Putin, hands him over to the International Criminal Court and pulls out of Ukraine in exchange for being left alone to rule Russia and immunity for himself.

If Keir Starmer ran at a pigeon, the pigeon wouldn’t even flinch.

You have to convince Labour that this is a good idea. Because that’s the limiting factor here. Conservatives aren’t going to support this. Labour needs to get fully behind rejoin for this to happen.

They won’t.

You then could vote Lib Dems into power to rejoin.

You won’t.

AHH interesting that makes more sense then because we remortgaged before those changes in the rules.

As an example, a borrower taking out a two-year fixed-rate mortgage at 2.2% with a revert to rate of 4% would need to show they could afford the monthly repayments on a rate of 7%.

I mean… they ain’t going to be coming off onto the 4% 🥲 but stress testing at 7% should still (for the time being) mean that everyone with a mortgage should have been aware of the risks and budgeted accordingly. No?

No-one wants to pay more of course… I have sympathy for that. I just don’t understand the shock that some people are claiming.

Same here. Although I distinctly remember my mortgage provider asking us if we were comfortable if the interest rate went up. Multiple times. I’m pretty sure they “stress tested” our mortgage payments assuming 9 - 10% interest. Of course we told them it would be hard, but still within our budgets then laughed and said it would never happen.

I’ve got sympathy for people in this situation for sure… but how have they managed their household budgets and savings such that this is a shock to them? Or have they over stretched themselves with their mortgage?

Tip if your enjoyed the service. That’s about it. Not to subsidise shitty employment laws.

Is this the “official” race discussion thread? I couldn’t find anything on my instance so came here.

Great race start by the way. Should be a good one. Enjoy!
