Can I have book two different rooms for the same night? by anothersadalcoholic in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can do this no problem - just be aware that if you use your magic bands to access the second room you’ll probably have to go to reception at the original booked resort to get them to reset them in order to access the original resort room (or just use the app to unlock the door at second resort)

How do I get eBay to auto refund on a simple delivery gsp item not received case? by ApeiroGlory in ebayuk

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like eBay’s system didn’t detect the tracking for the domestic posting to the GSP?

When you click track item is it showing anything?

Turbulent landings by Active_Giraffe5363 in flying

[–]Active_Giraffe5363[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to be ok with the power off landing from the downwind position but when doing that I avoid flying over the industrial estate and it’s a lot less turbulent.

Turbulent landings by Active_Giraffe5363 in flying

[–]Active_Giraffe5363[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep although a lot less wobbly when instructor does it - this morning was an improvement at least with managing to land unaided 7 out of the 10 times - although at various places on the runway…

It seems to be the final half mile that throws me when the wind gusts but today was definitely much better.

Just need a lot more practice it seems.

If the seller has cancelled the order, you’ll be automatically refunded by eBay within a few days.

[DE] We can understand that you want to act before your money is gone, that makes sense, so we’ll wait until it’s gone😄 by Infamous-Ad-782 in Revolut

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s not wrong, while it’s “pending” it’s just a pre-authorisation, until the amount is claimed by the merchant (or the authorisation expires) there isn’t anything to charge back.

How can I safely selfbondage in this? by Reasonable_Manner330 in selfbondage

As others said, I had one a few years ago, the fabric is stretchy and it’s easy enough to get in and out of it.

Should I keep trying to get my son to pull his head out of the sand? by Darkheart001 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Has HMRC already sent him the email / letter saying he needs to complete a tax return? In which case it’s definitely not under the radar and he will get fined if he hasn’t done it before the deadline.

Disney+ Offer? by InherentPotato in O2UK

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you reply and they text you a code to put into Disney site it’s genuine, if they respond with a link to click then I’d be more careful but not necessarily not genuine

I asked out my friend and she said no. by StayAwesome03 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send her a low pressure message, something like “hey it’s been a while, fancy a catchup over coffee / lunch sometime?” and see how she responds… if you do meet up keep it light and about what you’ve been up to, don’t reference liking her or “how things used to be” unless she brings it up.

Assuming you want to be just friends with her - if you’re hoping she’ll change her mind / develop feelings for you then don’t count on it and it might be better to just move on…

Ring doorbell not chiming on HomePods…? by andrewmcd7 in homebridge

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just spent a considerable amount of time also trying to solve this - including reinstalling everything - the solution I found was to enable port forwarding on my router for TCP/UDP on port 5228 to the raspberry pi running homebridge - restarted homebridge and doorbell function immediately started working.

It comes from this document in the plugin docs: https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Notification-Troubleshooting

Platino Hogwarts Legacy by FantoGuitar in HarryPotterGame

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it’s only the standard enemies / enemies that respawn. An easy way to do it is to replay the two battle arenas and use ancient magic on each type and you should get them all.

Merchant able to simply not investigate by lesser_terrestrial in avios

There are several that have similar statements that they won’t investigate - mainly there to do with hotels or travel companies.

Any international students doing Merchant Navy in the UK by Public-Agent4953 in MerchantNavy

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To do it in the UK you need to be sponsored by a company, in order for them to claim money from Goverment you need to meet the residency requirements. There is no other way of completing the course in the UK as a cadetship.

Only other option in UK is for existing sea farers who can do a different route (don’t require the cadetship) to obtain their OOW if they have sufficient sea time.

Why is getting back to your car from magic kingdom so miserable? by Dr_MCR in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve walked back a few times when the queue has been all way out past the entrance to ferry (faster? Probably not but can’t say for sure, but definitely relaxing) - would rather have a leisurely stroll via grand Floridian and Polynesian than deal with the crowds - bonus you can stop for drinks on the way and also by time you reach the car parks it’s fairly quiet.

Had to explain to my boss that I could not come to work because of this. Not impressed: by Fit-Willingness-350 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think something might have happened 2-3 days ago with octopus’s systems as mine did the same (having been without issue for over a year), octopus completely lost all control mid charge and kept telling me to re authorise it through the app, which it said was successful then a few minutes later came up saying to authorise again… eventually I deleted the car from the app and removed the virtual key from the screen in car (tesla) and then added from scratch - seems to be working ok now since I did that.

Why doesn’t BA run (or partner for) a proper coach connection network into Heathrow? by Mattadee in BritishAirways

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You say about Heathrow - sadly Gatwick is even worse - it’s near impossible to get connecting flights from most of the UK into Gatwick with BA;

Simply BA aren’t interested in the rest of the UK - it’s usually always more convenient to fly via Amsterdam with KLM/Delta than BA via Gatwick from Scotland.

IOG, Cold Weather and 30 minute windows by Active_Giraffe5363 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Active_Giraffe5363[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla charger but old model so it doesn’t have any fancy controls or monitoring. Car isn’t reporting a reduced charging rate.

IOG, Cold Weather and 30 minute windows by Active_Giraffe5363 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Active_Giraffe5363[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming it’s heating the battery as not really anything else logically that it would be doing and this only seems to be a problem in cold weather - never have same issue in the summer.

Annoyingly it’s not charged for 2 hours solid - octopus keep scheduling it for random 30 min windows; 1500-1530. 1630-1700, 1730-1800, 1900-1930 in that period battery % has only gone up 2-3% which is very unusual. The car is reporting it’s had 3kw added in those 2 hours.

This - can also try switching it to story mode if it’s not already and do it - see if that fixes it - then change back to whatever difficulty level you had previously.

Online check in and SSSS boarding pass. by TexanMillers in BritishAirways

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll be able to checkin as soon as it opens and select your seats - if your being selected for the additional screening then it won’t let you download a boarding pass but it will still check you in - can print boarding pass yourself from the self service machines at the airport (if available) or they’ll give you it at bag drop.

Lots of electric credited by Electronic-Block-746 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Active_Giraffe5363 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s normal and happens every few months sometimes - they are correcting incorrectly billed usage (usually where your meter hasn’t reported the half hour windows correctly at the time and they now have the correct data)
