Heart rate on my smart watch too, fairly accurate below 100bpm, nonsense above that. I use it to record all my cycling trips on Strava, impressed by the GPS in it, also nice to be able to read emails, notifications and take phone calls without needing to get my phone out. (Redmi 5 active 750bht)

I'm 70, and fairly sure I know my personal future ......... death. -

I know of no new powers granted in 2024, and we aren't in 2025 for another month. They may get new powers at some time in the future, but unlike you, I don't claim to know the future. -

(Off topic) But can't really answer, The only times I filled in a tax return was to claim money back (3x), I've always been taxed at source with no other income. So no tax returns ever required, unless I have an allowance and don't want to wait until next year to get it back. -

You are never 'bang to rights' ........ always deny, always go to court if they insist. That's my policy, and I win every time, mostly the other side caves, but the two that didn't resulted in 1 win against the law society (disagreement over solicitors fees settled in my favour), 1 win against the police (7,000 pounds compensation paid to me). The interesting thing about the UK police, they often start court proceedings then don't turn up to the court, so you win by default without needing any evidence. -

I'd prefer the sentence to be more accurate and say .......... "You also risk having to pay a penalty or may have legal action taken against you, but you would be the first" -

I always thought it was an expression of self hatred, they quite often cut themselves as well. -

Was your 'chum' convicted in a court of law? If not, just more of your nonsense. -
THC overdose IMHO, Heart racing, weak thready pulse, weakness, sweating, urge to vomit are typical symptoms. Problem with strong cannabis is you can smoke a 1g joint in 10 minutes, but the effect takes 20mins to be noticeable. If you don't know the strength of the cannabis, your tolerance or are inexperienced with smoking cannabis. Best to smoke 1/2 a joint then wait for 30 minutes if smoking alone, not really a problem if you're passing a joint around a group. If the joint had been 1/2 tobacco, you wouldn't have had a problem either.

According to the DWP website, a state pension cannot be stopped (unless pensioner is dead). So it would be not problem at all to prove malfeasance, if someone were to stop it. -

They can, but unless the person suspending a state pension had reason to believe a pensioner was dead, it would be malfeasance, and a sackable offense. Now, I have to ask myself, would a lazy government employee with a nice secure job and expecting a government pension some time in the future risk their income over that? I certainly wouldn't. -
Same as Facebook in the previous election shilling for the Dems. And Trump didn't need the surprise 14m votes, that appeared in just one election.

Easy answer, The Thai home room teachers visit your home once a year, while there they assess your income and make notes. If they've written in the notes, nice house, new (ish) car, big TV ......... no student loan. It's that simple! I also knew a NGO guy that handed out scholarships, He'd walk around their homes looking for where they had hidden their car, sheds, tire tracks, all examined. If they appeared to own a car, no scholarship.
