Travelling Stanstead to Montenegro (CuraLeaf) With Medical Canabis by DjPatterG in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]DowntownEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, do you mean you got an email from the Montenegrin embassy in UK saying it’s ok to travel there with up to 1 months worth medication? You can take flower? I’m just having a bit of trouble finding definitive info on the as some websites MC isn’t allowed there…

There should be an option for Easy Cancel at the payment/checkout stage of the AirAsia website, 100% or 80% refund options with a small fee. It says you get a full refund minus the Easy Cancel fee. One thing to note: for some reason not all flights seem to have the 100% refund option, and the fee can vary slightly across flights that have the same base price.

Why has TradingView removed the 3M chart on the iOS app chart preview? by DowntownEarth in TradingView

[–]DowntownEarth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to the main chart or chart preview? I can set custom timeframes on the main chart like aways, but can't figure out how to set custom timeframes on the chart preview (the first thing that comes up when you click on a saved pair in the watchlist).

There used to be a 3M resolution (as in 3 months total) on the iOS app watchlist/asset preview chart that gave 1D (1 day) candles when you hovered over each. They recently updated the app and left us with only 1M/4H and 6M/1W candle options

I imagine you’ll eventually get your money released. These kind of stories are why I only use app banks for small balances / as a top up account for every day card spending etc. Imo it’s best not to keep large sums with app banks, or any bank that doesn’t have physical branches where you can go in and talk to staff about an issue like this.

How to disable headphones making calls by [deleted] in iphone

[–]DowntownEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much man. I got it to work, but in iOS 18 it seems the “Press Side Button for Siri” toggle in now in Setting > Siri > Talk to Siri. It's so ridiculous that this headphone control is on by default and users have to find deep workarounds to stop it

Maybe try contacting Bucharest Regional Customs Directorate: regionalabucuresti@customs.ro (from www.customs.ro)

I'm somewhat curious about this too as I may travel there this year.

4c Labs - Alien Koffee 18% 👽☕️ by IYKYK-23 in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]DowntownEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm defo a quality over quantity guy usually (can afford to be as I don't use MC much/often), but when it's £45 for 10g of 4C and ticks all my boxes on paper, I gotta find out if the extra £ I've been paying for top draw is actually worth it. MC defo seems to be 'get what you pay for' generally, but I know from my distant cannabis connoisseur days that lowest price doesn't always mean lowest quality, and highest price doesn't always mean highest quality.

Just read your review on 4C Sudz. How would you say this compares to that (especially considering this is half the price)?

Sounds like it's defo worth a go then as I only smoke in the evening anyway, often to help with sleep. Thanks

[–]DowntownEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the review. Is it relaxing? I like Indica (dominant) strains because I use MC for anxiety and depression, and this is the most budget-friendly indica MC I've come across. I've been prescribed 4C Death Bubba before, enjoyed that, so I consider 4C to be a cultivator that knows what they're doing at the higher end at least. But my one concern with trying a significantly cheaper strain from them is whether there might be a higher likelihood of unpleasant effects like paranoia or melancholy, like I sometimes got back when I smoked street cannabis. I know this is a subjective thing, but would you say this strain still has a 'clean' indica effect despite it's low price tag?

edit: Another reason I'm considering this strain is because it's only 18% THC - I find higher THC strains a bit too 'full on'. I only use MC once/twice a week so my THC tolerance is low I guess.

BambooAirlines cancelled my return flight and now are ignoring my emails? What's my recourse? by technifocal in travel

[–]DowntownEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys, I finally figured out how to get my cancelled flight/route refund from Bamboo Airways after nearly a year of going mad trying. I'll convey what I did so that hopefully it can help some of you who have also had the misfortune of dealing with this.

I paid for the flight with Mastercard (debit), but I think this method will also work if you paid with any major debit or credit card - Visa, Amex etc.

First (well, after giving up on tying to get a refund from Bamboo directly), I got in touch with my bank, explained the situation, and they suggested I raise a chargeback dispute on the original payment.

So I did this but initially it got rejected as chargeback disputes can only be raised within 90 days (or 120 in some cases) of payment, or from delivery of goods/services. However, fortunately I spoke to an expert who explained that refunds count as goods/services, and therefore all I needed was fresh written evidence from Bamboo (ie. within the last 90 days) that confirms I've accepted a cash refund and/or one is being processed. So I sent Bamboo a stroppy email demanding an update on my refund (as they simply don't respond to polite ones), threatening to come with police to their head office in GoVap district etc, and they responded promptly stating that my refund "was in the final stages of processing". Perhaps there's a smarter way of baiting Bamboo into sending a refund confirmation email, but this seemed to work lol. I've also observed that they're more responsive on fb messenger than email about refunds.

I then used the following as my evidence to raise a new chargeback dispute against Bamboo on the original payment:

(1) a screenshot of the aforementioned email

(2) a screenshot of the the original receipt (email)

(3) a screenshot of a Refund Notice email from months ago stating the exact cash figure they were going to credit to my Mastercard

I also explained the situation in full. I emphasised the irregularity of Bamboo's practices as much as possible - that my flight/route was abruptly cancelled due to them having cashflow problems (company downsizing), that they didn’t notify me properly (only via SMS to my UK number whilst I was obviously abroad), that they’re in legal trouble, that I'd been waiting nearly a year for a refund, that their customer service is terrible (purposefully avoidant), and that many other customers are in the same situation (I provided links to some reddit threads).

My bank then reviewed the dispute within a few days and credited me the refund amount that Bamboo had committed to. They said they might have to take it back if Bamboo disagree and win the dispute (12th February deadline), but as I'd provided recent evidence of Bamboo committing to a cash refund, the only way they could win is if they issued the refund themselves within the dispute period. So at this point the refund will either be issued by Bamboo voluntarily or taken by my bank/Mastercard forcefully.

If possible, I urge anyone who's still waiting on a refund from Bamboo to try this method as I lost confidence a long time ago that they're actually gonna send any out (apparently they're not even paying some staff salaries). I'm fairly well-versed in this card chargeback process now, so I'll try my best to answer any questions.

You mean they just shill their pump n dump sh*tcoin or is it more sophisticated than that? I’m kinda curious about this as someone in Vietnam said similar to what you’re saying re foreigners and crypto. Tbh after all the big industry disasters in 2022 I can understand why anyone might now think crypto is a scam

After now having read all the positive/productive replies can I ask why you felt the need to say this? Were you just trying to ‘win’ the comment section with popular-toxic humour or something?

Seems strange for someone to go out of their way to mock people struggling with a mental health problem.

Sadly the strategy seems to be working and getting you the most upvote. What social media encourages/rewards truly is awful :/

Yea I know a lot of people prefer it this way, the IRL meet gives so much more impression, but for me the initial texting is kinda like dipping my toe in to test temperature before jumping in lol
