There seems to be a common misconception that mortgage interest rates are linked to the BoE rate, which if you’re out of your initial fixed period is somewhat true, however the majority of deals are more influenced by swap rates, such as SONIA. The rate drop had already been priced in over the last month or so, and now with the uncertainty surrounding the US since the election, and the recent budget, rates are starting to creep up again.

Both.

Our midwife from classes before our daughter was born explained it to us that all formula has to meet certain standards and have certain ingredients in it to qualify for sale in the UK, so you can guarantee each brand is providing a recommended amount of nutrition due to this.

We ended up going with Aldi’s formula, and if the other brands brought their prices more in line with that then I don’t see it as a bad thing. Charging through the nose for something that babies NEED if they aren’t being breast fed is absolutely abhorrent.

They’re not in power anymore, so thankfully not

Glad I deleted all of my content over there, then.

In the UK, you can get your provisional licence (learners permit) when you’re 17. You need to take a theory (written) test and a practical test, and most choose to go through a driving school but you -can- just be taught by your parents or other adults over 21.

Generally speaking though it’s better to go through the instructors as they’ll teach you what you need in order to pass the practical test, which is apparently one of the strictest in the world.

After you’ve passed the real learning starts, as if you drove like you have to for the test you’re in for a bad time.

Nope, changed on iPhone too. Sucks here as well

Having repurposed my XS as my business phone for now, it feels almost brand new again now I’ve reset it and only keep a few business specific apps on there. I was charging it twice a day while it was being used as my daily driver, but since the switchover I’m having to charge it twice a week! So it may simply be too many apps demanding too much system time.

I upgraded last year from the XS to the 14 (didn’t go for the pro as the photos are good enough for my uses on the regular phones). Loved it ever since. I’m a fairly long term owner though, went from the 6s plus to the XS.

Update my watch series 1 to the 7 around the same time.

R2 is a navigation droid, so presumably keeps a record of everywhere he’s been for audit trail purposes. He’s also (up until that point) never been memory wiped unlike C3P0, so having part of that route erased is a big change from previous canon.

The map in Ahsoka isn’t necessarily a map to Thrawn specifically, someone else mentioned it being a map of migration patterns but equally it was mentioned in the episode that some beings travelled from another galaxy to the main Star Wars galaxy in the past. Morgan may just be assuming that’s where Thrawn was taken by the purrgil as they roam all over, so the map may be a bit of both migration patterns and a record of where the travellers came from.

Hopes and dreams in physical form!

Am I the only one thinking social media apps shouldn’t be on a work device anyway, unless you’re part of their social media team?

Not anymore, the city had them take it down.

11.5 years here, and was using Narwhal to access on mobile.

Whilst Narwhal seems to have worked out a deal with Reddit to keep going, albeit having to charge in the near future, after all the bad blood caused by everything going on and the uncertainty of whether or not some apps would continue I’ve had enough.

As many have said, the community here seems tight-knit and feels like they really care about things which isn’t something I’ve seen on Reddit for a long time.

Long live Lemmy!
