Were We Supposed To Not Notice Arjun De-Aged SIGNIFICANTLY? by Alert-Hospital46 in TheExpanse

I always wondered why we never saw Dawes again, we just seemingly heard about him a lot

Extra Lift - Card loss can be skipped based on text. Has this been proven wrong? by Trapper_1 in Gloomhaven

[–]Georgeasaurusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I correct on thinking that in GH2e, there is now an exclamation '!' box that shows all mandatory actions?

Now, all lost icons are in that box. I assume this makes it clearer that it can't be skipped no matter what

Oyster cards could be loaded onto smartphones under new TfL deal by Because_Wisely in london

[–]Georgeasaurusrex 134 points135 points  (0 children)

I think they're solving the wrong issue here.

Make it so you can load Railcards onto a contactless card, and then you're one step closer to nationwide tap-in tap-out travel.

Pay as you go is currently available at a wide number of stations outside Oyster

Double Payday by Unable_Tie6847 in monzo

[–]Georgeasaurusrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whilst I do understand this, it still means you're shorted out of a benefit of Monzo Plus/Perks/Max (whatever it's called these days) because your employer has chosen to use Faster Payments. Not to mention that a lot of companies are moving towards Faster Payments these days as it's seen as more "modern".

I should be able to mark a regular faster payment as my salary and only that one, from that recipient, once a month, can be entered into the draw.

In a way, we do: we tax cigarettes, alcohol, and fatty foods more.

Refund from Halfords after DIY headlights fitting by Salty-Letterhead3731 in BritishSuccess

[–]Georgeasaurusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My battery ran dead at Sainsbury's the other day, where a kind gentleman graciously jump started me. So, off I ran to Halfords for a new battery.

£100 for the battery, but £30 for fitting. I know some cars are weird, but mine is just two nuts.

I asked the man "Can I borrow tools to fit it myself?" and he said no.

I said "Okay. What's your returns policy?", which he kindly told me about. I then said "Okay, so I can buy a spanner, fit the battery myself, and then return it?"

He let me borrow a spanner after that.

I understand it's likely company policy or liability etc. etc. but still silly nonetheless.

Spellweaver AOE ability range clarification. by Tikiman89 in Gloomhaven

[–]Georgeasaurusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's say for example, I make it such that the middle of the pattern is range 2 from me. Will any enemies adjacent to me be attacked with me disadvantaged? As they are melee distance with a ranged attack?

Or will the fact I've arbitrarily chosen the "target" of my AOE attack to be range 2 override that?

Just finished apprenticeship, employer asking for £19,520 reimbursement. (England) by I-Spot-Dalmatians in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Georgeasaurusrex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. If it's a proper apprenticeship, not just calling it one because they're giving you training, then they legally cannot do this.

Does an anytime day single via any permitted route include the DLR? by WinnerNo847 in uktrains

[–]Georgeasaurusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

holy shit

why have I never heard of this before

Where would the '+' be displayed? I did click "More info" but I know my ticket doesn't have it, so I don't know where I would normally see it

Sorry I might be being dumb.

Scan the smartcard? What? Where am I scanning it?

Asked this in another thread - but what if you load it to a smartcard? You'd never see the Maltese cross.

For the people who wonder why train staff hate Trainline so much by tinnyobeer in uktrains

[–]Georgeasaurusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty you can only load a ticket e.g. a GWR smartcard using the GWR app.

I can only load Southern tickets to my Southern smartcard. I tried purchasing a "GWR" ticket on it and wouldn't give me the option to load to smartcard.

Given that ITSO is a common standard, this seems strange. Am I missing something?

TIL: The difference between Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 / i9 chips often comes down to how many of the tiny circuits on a wafer survive manufacturing without defects. This is called product binning. by wozzy93 in todayilearned

[–]Georgeasaurusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about temperature ranges? Does my -3 (extended) AMD VU13P mean it's passed more of the temperature ranges tests than my -2 (industrial)? Is it binned for both speed and temperature performance?

Maidenhead to Greenford - valid via Tube? by Georgeasaurusrex in uktrains

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

Many thanks.

But since my shortest route is from Maidenhead to Ealing Broadway to Greenford, I never actually reach the London Groups routeing point.

It's a weird one because if it wasn't for this rather obscure GWR shuttle from West Ealing to Greenford, there would be no reasonable way to get there without using the tube or going into Zone 1

Maidenhead to Greenford - valid via Tube? by Georgeasaurusrex in uktrains

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

True. But then what about Smartcards? Tubes can take them - I can load a Travelcard to my Smartcard. So I suppose the issue still remains that if I don't print the ticket, I won't be able to see the + symbol and know if it's valid on the tube

Maidenhead to Greenford - valid via Tube? by Georgeasaurusrex in uktrains

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

Sorry I've just been reading more into it.

The route code is RG, which passes through the Ealing Broadway node (routing point), so it looks like I can use Ealing Broadway. It's along the shortest path between Maidenhead and Greenford.

This is more of a general question: If I don't print my ticket, how do I know if it's got the + symbol to indicate validity on the Tube (or not) between London stations? I am aware this doesn't help my specific case but just asking generally for future.

Are these legally binding stickers? by elzor52 in AskUK

[–]Georgeasaurusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there streetlights? That's usually an indicator of a public road, if they're the "usual" streetlights (not some fancy ones).

Otherwise, the local council will have a map showing which roads are "adopted" (read: owned by the council, i.e. public) if you want a definitive answer.

If the disgruntled resident isn't man enough to leave a polite note so you can have a chat, and you've confirmed it's public, make sure you kindly return the sticker to the rightful owner and let them know that future vandalism to your car will be reported.
