Their website is really light on details about mAh[0], but Duracell are even worse[1]. I've found a comparison website, but no idea where its getting its sources[2].

Looks like VARTA is around 2400mAh and will last around 5-7 years, whereas Duracell is around 2700mAh and will last around 7-10 years. But let's be realistic here, no battery in the world lasts more 2 years without needing to be switched out. Definitely not worth staying with Duracell.

Weird headline compared to the rest of the article

Ah, I missed the sub name. Fair enough, carry on

Fuck large US American businesses sure, but why fuck the small independent ones?

Oh you poor innocent creature, those are rookie amounts. If isn't a quarter inch thick it's not worth eating.

I mix it with butter and then snort it

Embrace nihilism and become the real change in the world? Inspiring!

And successfully hunted, we did it boys. He won't be harming us again

Hah. It's more that I was working in a country that was weak against the pound, and that for some reason SLC charges way higher when you're working abroad.

So whatever I was earning, half would go to rent, a quarter would go to the loan (once you factored in the exchange rate), and I'd have that glorious other quarter to myself.

I am doing better than most I would say, but I also have a sewing machine and have learned through time how to patch my clothes, if that answers your question

Predatory is the right word. We were literally still kids, and they asked us to make a huge financial decision that would impact us for the rest of our lives....

I'm childless at the moment, but kids are definitely something I think about paymentwise

Wow, good tips thank you. I guess I'll start paying more into my pension. My pension is currently tied to my workplace, and I've always been wary of paying into it more just in case I can't take it with me if I work elsewhere.

Is that the case? Can I take my company pension with me? Or that just stays in the company and I can't take it with me when I work somewhere else
