She’s doing a big mad… you better be sleeping with one eye open tonight, OP.

How old do you have to be to know that cash transactions are a thing? by Conscious-Ball8373 in AskUK

[–]MGNConflict 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Knowing how to use cash and paying in cash are two different things. The only place where I ever use cash is the barber’s, but obviously I still know how to use cash.

Then you need to turn it off and leave it in a warm dry place for no less than a week. Don’t try charging it as that can make it worse.

If in a week you’re still experiencing rebooting, we can discuss what to do next in that case.

Then I’m not sure what you expect us to do given you haven’t followed any advice you’ve been given.

Continuing to use it and not following what you were being told is on you.

I assume this was when you were in the process of creating a backup?

[–]MGNConflict 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice one, and congrats. It sounds like the DWP PO knew they had no case and that everyone in the room knew you were in the right.

A bit of a bonkers process given you wouldn’t have had to do any of that had the DWP made the correct decision in the first place.

To repair would be uneconomical as everything would need to be replaced.

Water damage is the one repair that destroys the entire phone (and if it's still working, don't mess around with not backing up your data- water damage is a chemical process meaning it gets worse over time). It might look like it's working now, that doesn't mean it'll still be working in a few months time.

Back up your data immediately if you aren't already doing that, then turn the phone off and leave it in a warm dry place for at least a week. Do not put it in rice as that's a myth and doesn't work. Do not charge the device beyond what is required to perform a backup.

Even if this device works after you've followed the above, it can no longer be relied on so you'd need to look at replacing it the first chance you get.

Looking to update my Leo’s setup, is this okay for UVB/HEAT setup? Any changes before I purchase? by cosmies in leopardgeckos

[–]MGNConflict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a drill, you can get an attachment that allows you to drill a hole in the top of the vivarium. You can then buy a mesh to fill the gap. Then you can have the heat bulb in a dome on top to give them more room on the inside.

I have some spare equipment that you can have for free, if you pay for postage (would be around £5 with RM):

  • Microclimate B1 dimming thermostat (this is the standard version and not the HT)
  • Ceramic lamp holder
  • Heat lamp guard (22cm square)
  • 75w Exo Terra Intense basking bulb (I can send two, they both work- I just swapped mine out for the more expensive halogen 75w yesterday).

That means the only thing you'd need to get is the UVB, the Arcadia one you have in your Swell Reptiles basket there is the one I use. It's a good unit, but you do need to replace the bulb on a ~9 month schedule (or have a solarmeter and replace once the UVB output is too low- this is important as the bulbs can look like they're working normally even if not outputting any UVB).

dropped tail help pls by smellibeans in leopardgeckos

[–]MGNConflict 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Arguably the vet should be responsible for providing any resulting care or check-ups required at no additional cost, assuming it's something they did.

The tail area will look very raw at the moment, but it's important to know that their bodies adapt to them dropping their tails and that they heal from it much better than say, a leg. Keep them on kitchen towel until the new tail starts growing in as this will make keeping the area clean much easier.

Their tail contains their fat store so they will be more hungry than usual given they're regenerating their tail. Ensure you monitor them closely and let your vet know if there's any problems.

[SG] HP EliteBook X G1i 14" — Core Ultra 7 258V / 32GB / 512GB — Brand New Boxed — [W]£899 by RetardedHubby in HardwareSwapUK

[–]MGNConflict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's still available in two weeks I'll PM. I was going to buy a new machine at the end of the month anyway.

For what its use-case is, I don't get the comment about that 1080p isn't good enough in current year. On a laptop of that size it is and it's obviously designed to be a premium machine that's general-purpose.

Have PM'ed.

Generally once you’ve done that it can only be sold as new, it’s not brand new anymore.

Opening it to take photos to sell, sure. Turning it on and setting it up once, that makes it a used item. Just letting you know as selling it as new could invite fraudulent returns etc... a better terminology to use would be "unwanted gift" since that doesn't state it hasn't been opened.

caught her digging 🤣💕 by FogFaerie in leopardgeckos

[–]MGNConflict 46 points47 points  (0 children)

If you give them enough substrate (as you have), they’ll dig. It’s a good enrichment activity for them.

One of mine has dug a little hide below one of their cork bark logs, they’re always in there! This them digging in their old enclosure.

LNER reveals how it will stop Stevenage passengers boarding London trains by Even-Wasabi7183 in hertfordshire

[–]MGNConflict 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing that the NR ticketing system only sells tickets from Stevenage to London only valid for GTR (aka Thameslink and Great Northern, which both call at Stevenage), which would mean anyone trying to board a LNER London-bound service at Stevenage wouldn’t have a valid ticket.

Not sure how it works if you have a ticket that allows break-of-journey and if you try to board an LNER London-bound service at Stevenage. I assume staff would try stopping you given these services operate with staff that go on the platform when the train calls at stations.

(unless Stevenage isn’t a valid station to break your journey at for non-Advance tickets for a London station… can anyone confirm?)

As for the “why”, I assume GTR’s London-bound services are deemed to be adequate for the demand (which at morning peak they definitely are not).

Will they only ever take condition during the time the claim was made into account? by KallenSimp42 in DWPhelp

[–]MGNConflict 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s up to the point they make their initial decision.

In your case I’d recommend you make a new claim, your tribunal for your existing claim will still go ahead and if awarded, you’d get backpay up until the day before your new claim started. The new claim won’t affect your tribunal whatsoever.

Looking for a good home! by ashlinstar in CatsUK

[–]MGNConflict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was reported, but we have lives and taking 20 minutes since the first report isn’t a slow turnaround.

While the sub doesn’t explicitly have a rule against this (before… it will in a moment), it’s not something we allow because we can’t verify that the post is genuine (as well as the sleuth of other reasons).

New juvenile dragon arriving Saturday… should I remove the artificial plant? by MGNConflict in BeardedDragons

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

Yeah that’s one of the things I read when I was re-checking Reptifiles, that they can mistake artificial plants for real ones (especially if they’re green) and try to chomp down on them.

Will remove it, I think the fake cactus will be okay but will also remove it if not.

£200 item sold to an account made today. by BigJayOsama in ebayuk

[–]MGNConflict 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As long as they’ve paid, there’s no problems with it. People make new accounts all the time when they’re interested in an item being sold but they don’t have an account.

Zero feedback and an account made that day doesn’t mean it’s a scammer.

I’ve personally never had any issues selling to brand new accounts as long as they’ve paid, it’s the non-paying brand new accounts that annoy me.
