SomeoneElseMod,

Love, laugh, WASH.

SomeoneElseMod,

I’ve only seen bows on chairs at wedding receptions. Not my taste for a wedding. Definitely not my taste for my dining room.

SomeoneElseMod,

This is far too small and standard British working class to be a McMansion. I do love that sub though. There’s one on lemmy too: !mcmansionhell

SomeoneElseMod,

It’s a Christmas miracle! 😉

SomeoneElseMod,

I’m not very tech savvy, but I’m a mod of some fairly large communities hosted on feddit.uk. Can someone ELI5 what, if anything, I need to do to keep my communities up? !badrealestate is the one I’m most keen to keep going.

SomeoneElseMod,

Is that his real nose?! I’m not American and try to avoid watching or looking at him. It looks like his septum has worn away or something.

SomeoneElseMod,

Do you know what the sand from elafonissi beach (Crete) looks like under a microscope? It really does look pinky when you’re there, and I was told it was because of a certain type of seashell that made up the majority of the top sand. I was a kid though, definitely could have been lies.

SomeoneElseMod,

I thought this was c/justguysbeingdudes (or something like that) but I’m not sure it exists here. That was a great sub.

E: it does it exist! Dead but it doesn’t need to stay that way. I’ll cross post: !justguysbeingdudes

SomeoneElseMod,

Can anyone with experience/knowledge of these types of cases hazard a guess to how much the claimants might realistically receive and in what sort of timeframe?

And if Rudy doesn’t pay up in his lifetime, could the money be seized from probate?

Final one! If the claimants aren’t likely to see any money for a few years, are they at least able to secure loans against the ruling immediately?

SomeoneElseMod,

Thank you for that! It was really interesting and informative, I appreciate the time it took. I have a vague idea that civil litigation is pursued largely out of the principle of the matter, and that’s fine if you’re a billionaire suing for a dollar… but these women weren’t rich and no doubt incurred debt by having to move/go into hiding, when they did absolutely nothing wrong. I feel like they should get a couple of million right now - enough to clear their debts, pay off the house/car and have a long holiday. As scummy as those lenders sound, maybe that’s the best move for these claimants, especially the older one. I think I’d rather have a couple of mil now than fight (probably unsuccessfully) for £70m each over the next decade.

SomeoneElseMod,

Is there a c/cursedcomments here yet?!

SomeoneElseMod,

I’m a really big reader and have had 4 or 5 kindles now. My latest is the oasis and it was a considerable payout for me but I absolutely love it. I rarely pay for books, but kindles have a send-to-kindle function so you can download books from anywhere in any of the main formats and just email it to your kindle.

E-reader screens can seem really basic to the uninitiated but the paper white/oasis is just like reading from a book imo. Except you can read it in the dark too.

SomeoneElseMod,

I’ve been prescribed medical cannabis for over a year now and neither CBD or THC oil do anything for my appetite. Vaping dry herb does though, even the low THC stuff. Maybe I’m weird though!

CBD oil does wonders for my arthritis, depression and anxiety though. And I slept for over 6 hours for the first time in 2 years when I started THC oil.

SomeoneElseMod,

Both CDB and THC reduce nausea.

SomeoneElseMod,

I think I did that thing when you start a conversation in your head and then your comment posted mid-thought has no context, iykwim?! What I was thinking was: Feeling nauseated can reduce your appetite, as can repeated vomiting and the anxiety associated with it. People with chronic nausea tend not to want to eat, and not eating (or vomiting what you eat) is far more medically problematic than experiencing nausea. Hence, stimulating appetite as well as suppressing nausea is what makes medical cannabis so useful for cancer patients. But OPs wife isn’t going to see the anti nausea/increased appetite side effects from CBD alone. THC is the more important cannabinoid, and if she’s no longer pregnant/breast feeding she shouldn’t have a problem getting it prescribed- even in the UK. But it will be a private prescription here which is expensive af.

SomeoneElseMod,

I didn’t want to say it if it wasn’t already on your radar, but I have PoTS and know a number of people with jejunostomy feeding tubes due to their gastroparesis. I even know a girl on parenteral nutrition. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with nausea as their main symptom though so I didn’t think of PoTS until you mentioned you’d researched it.

I love the acknowledgment that it’s not your body - you sound like a loving, supportive partner 🙂 Sometimes the “answer” seems so simple when you’re not the patient but when you’re chronically ill, you’ve already lost so much control over your body… having to take a drug you don’t want to feels like a step too far. It’s hard to explain and I’m not doing a very good job!

THC is not remotely in the same category of awfulness as a feeding tube so I’m glad she’ll probably try that first. And you don’t need to get high high to feel the anti-nausea/pro-appetite benefits - I use less than 0.25gm a day, maybe even half that and it does the trick just fine. Wishing your wife better soon!

SomeoneElseMod,

I was disappointed too. I’ve never liked weed - the smell, the fuss, the mess, the taste. Blugh. I’d hoped oils would be all I needed but there’s no denying that dry herb vaping is more effective for my symptoms. The private pharmacy is going to start offering gummies as an alternative to herb, maybe that will work for me? Fingers crossed!

SomeoneElseMod,

I’m overly annoyed by that mirror placement.

SomeoneElseMod,

It’s British slang for a convict or prison term. It’s not very common now, but “old lag” used to mean a habitual criminal. No idea of the etymology though - maybe related to a lag (in time)?

SomeoneElseMod,

Can you think of another author who uses JK before their surname? It would have been a pretty big hint as soon as people realised JK Galbraith didn’t exist.

SomeoneElseMod,

Sorry, I confused myself and thought you were replying to a later comment - I thought you were asking how people would have guessed JK Rowling and JK Galbraith were the same person.

I think it’s fair to say Robert Galbraith-Heath is an (in)famous psychiatrist. I remember his name from my student days. As for her purposely using the name of a conversion therapist as a pen name in order to… be more homophobic? That seems like a bit of a leap to me, but idk her bigoted views in any real depth tbh.

And I looked up the other name before I realised I’d confused myself and found there was a famous JK Galbraith too, according to wikipedia He sounds like a bit of a dick too. Sorry for the confusion, I need sleep.

SomeoneElseMod,

I feel you. This is the second winter we’ve only been able to heat one room to at least 18C, and that’s not warm enough for my disabled ass. My electric throw blanket is on 24/7 though and is incredibly efficient - it costs less than 25p a day. I would highly recommend one if you can manage the upfront cost. Also wrist warmers are highly underrated imo - cheap, you can knit/crochet them yourself, your fingers are still free for touch screens and they seem to keep me warmer than just a hat alone. Wishing you more comfortable times ahead, friend.

SomeoneElseMod,
