I've wondered for (far too long) a time now, why is it always at 30% that a win10 update decides to shutdown and restart to complete the update. Anyone know the significance of picking that figure ? I'd have thought "installing updates (0-100%), will restart to continue updating", and then...

AS absolutely fantastic and cool as Keanu is, the first film really excelled because of the intensity and pace of the fighting scenes and given his age this days, he just don't move that quickly anymore, and can not train up to the same levels as previous....its the same with the John wick...

Whereas I think Gosling one of the most talented Male leads in Hollywood. Dunno another guy who could pull off, Blade runner, Barbie, Gray man, Lala land, Nice guys, Drive. Right now I think Him and Bradley Cooper the most talented, adaptable leading men in Hollywood. Pity they are as ugly as...

Just finished the chalk man by C.J Tudor, was recommended to me, and I really enjoyed it. The author has a great turn of phrase and thought provoking lines are casually mixed in. The mystery has multiple reveals. I'm still kinda new to this reading thing,this is probably my 12th book since I...

I stayed away from the thread until I had a chance to watch it all. Dunno anything about the books or the other series. Nice concept that takes quite a while to get fully revealed, and therefore keeps you interested as to exactly what is going on. The problem I find with all such programs is...

I often wonder if most of physics is just made up stuff that there is a consensus that those in the click nod sagely and agree on as being the rules of physics. For example, they spent gawd knows how much money designing experiments to detect what they assumed was a really important sub-atomic...

never mind !

yeah, insurers not only will not cover an undiagnosed medical condition, but many will then also not cover you for pre-existing medical conditions whilst you have an undiagnosed one. I had this problem last year, where I have several pre-existing issues, and was waiting for an diagnosis for an...

Stocks and shares ISA is no different from investing on stocks and shares, you can profit you can lose. 6 months ago everyone and their mother would have told you to buy Tesla shares cause they are on a roll. but since the start of 2024 they are down 30% and they just announced 14K job losses...

Perversely, rising the state pension age results in more working age benefits. I guess it depends on the how a wealthy pensioner is defined. Also, haven't they said that some of the top-up benefits like the cold weather payment would overall cost more to means test it than what would be saved ?

Ulster bank 5.2% for £5K+

State pension is going the same way as NHS, for similar reasons. The amount required to keep them viable has gotten to be beyond what they can raise in tax. Similar reasons as in, increasing age profile of the popular means that pension is claimed for longer, and people need more NHS. But it's...

i think a matrix origins film, showing how the matrix came about, all new cast obviously, would be a decent premise.

I have heard some bad experiences regarding Fibrus, but also a lot of people saying they are OK. I'm in the OK camp, other than the problem I had where my 3rd party email provider did not like the IP address, and refused to send emails. Haven't had that problem for 6 months so maybe that mighta...

1) I think there is some actual value in Ginger, based on nothing more than it is widely used in asian countries for colds and coughs. 2) Lemsip Max. Who walks into a pharmacy with a rotten cold/cough and thinks "No, I won't go for the one that has the ingredients that'll given me the maximum...

Also in theory (theory being a great thing and all), those coming in on that rule are unlikely to be a burden on the state

THere is a difference in something being asthetically poorer quality or not last as long, and something not being CE/UK approved for safety and merely having a CE sticker. Amazon do "sold and fulfilled by", "fulfilled by" and then there are the all the other companies selling. The first one...

anyone come across genuinely good clone 18v makita batteries, say 5Ah ?

We are both over 60 and have lives together all our lives, and are as tight as can be, so ownershiip when 1 dies isn't an issue, that's sorted in the wills. Was just trying to see if there was anything in the tax law that meant the survivor did not have to pay IHT, but that looks like it's not...

I'm off an age that I vaguely remember "randall and hopkin (deceased)"
