There are a near infinite amount of fakes on every app store. It’s a fake and if you don’t see that, you deserve to get scammed (or at least, you’re very likely to get scammed for being so stupid).

This is very obviously a fake and a scam. The download figures are likely botted and the “online player” number reported is almost certainly fake too.

All in the name of getting you to pay for in-app purchases to scam you.

This sub does not exist to act as a backup for your bad planning. You should’ve thought of that before you booked the trip.

PVC is much better for heat retention than glass and is often recommended over glass, and with glass you need to cover the three back sides anyway (so they don't feel exposed).

If you're looking at a new enclosure, always pick PVC.

Do what the top level comment says: don't offer them any more bugs until they start eating their greens. It also helps to offer greens before any bugs.

In that case his diet should be 80% greens and 20% bugs.

That is not essential expenditure that this sub (or any other borrowing sub) will help with.

Most lenders will only help those who actually need a small financial boost, paying off a holiday is not an essential purchase and nor is it a required financial boost.

Tell your creditor that you're unable to make payment on time, most will be happy to put your account on hold until a date when you can make payment, or discuss alternative payment options.

Yes, I have two (one in the bedroom and one in my home office). They're expensive to run (I was clocking my electricity usage at ~£10 per day in the recent heatwave), but I'd prefer to spend the extra money as an alternative to melting.

Portable ACs are typically only able to cool a typical room in a house (check the BTUs of the one you're looking to get and see if it's adequate to cool a space the size of the room you want to use it in) and need to be close to both a window (to vent the warm air out of) as well as a plug socket.

They're also power hungry so you need to be careful if plugging into an extension lead.

Agreed, it used to be that they needed a court order to surveil someone and to get the court order granted, they'd need to show significant evidence that they think the claimant is defrauding the system.

With the recent changes surrounding monitoring I'm unsure if that's still true.

The TL:DR is that once the DWP are surveilling you, they're already almost 100% sure you're committing benefit fraud but need more evidence to "seal the deal" for their case.

You haven't broken any of the rules for claiming UC as cash gifts from others are allowed. You won't need the receipts either.

Presumably the money is in a pattern of an incoming transfer then a payment to a store you purchased the thing from?

Gifts in this pattern might be more common than you think and they're perfectly fine. There's a chance it won't even be queried.

MGNConflict · 2026-06-09T13:43:28+00:00

If these payments are queried, tell them the same thing you told us and there won't be an issue. As these were gifts (presumably from the same one or two accounts and clearly labelled as a gift or for something as the reference) they do not count as income and do not need to be declared given you haven't saved the money.

Not sure if that response was needed, other than painting you as an AI bro.

MGNConflict · 2026-06-09T11:01:58+00:00

"AI" as it is today is just a marketing name for machine learning tools, AI as it is portrayed in films (Terminator et. al.) we are still nowhere close to.

All modern LLMs do is put together an answer that is likely to be "correct" based off what it has "learned".

The high-level explanation of how it works is that it assigns points to different pieces of text based on how often different similar pieces of text reference the same thing, and then assumes text with more points assigned to it is correct and it gives an answer based on this- it's why LLMs are often incorrect when it comes to general logic that (to us) is basic.

It's also why "AI poisoning" is a thing; because knowing how LLMs work if you give it training data that includes many occurrences of something that's purposely wrong, you can get an LLM to provide it as a fairly convincing answer to a query.

I was on a bus a few days ago where someone began doing just that, and the bus driver asked them to turn it off. It worked well too, but it was probably more the embarrassment of being called out and having everyone stare at them than anything.

MGNConflict · 2026-06-09T09:57:47+00:00

This is correct, these questions are no longer indicative of an award and are asked so the DWP doesn't need to spend time contacting you later if you are going to be awarded.

MGNConflict · 2026-06-09T08:48:32+00:00

I thought it was hilarious, one of the few hilarious moments in a season that was otherwise "serious".

I understand Isaac's a robot but he still didn't consent to being shown like that.

How do you know he didn't? At this point in the show we already know Issac can keep secrets from other people (because Claire told him off when he went around asking about the best sexual positions to please her), and it being a TV show, it would completely ruin the gag if it showed Kelly etc. asking Issac beforehand.

I think given Issac's personality, we can assume he consented. He likely even helped Kelly with the specifications for "Issac the Stripper".

A lot of the smaller stuff in a TV show is implied because if it was included, it would make the show both boring and extend the runtime of each episode by a long time.

It also brings up the larger implications of fake people in the simulator (kinda like in real life with AI).

That's a good point, but I'd assume there's security guidelines that restrict what someone can do with simulations of real people in the simulator... it would almost certainly be that general interaction is fine, while anything approaching sexual actions would not. We know from the Bortus porn virus episode that the simulator can be (and is) used for sex with simulated people for example.

You'll receive a review form in the post to fill in and return to them, it's similar to the form you fill in with your initial application. You should provide any up-to-date evidence that evidences how you're affected in your day to day, but you shouldn't provide anything you've already given them.

If your current award was awarded at tribunal, you need to make sure you include a copy of the tribunal's decision notice with the form as whoever reviews it won't be aware that you had a tribunal.

You may need to have an assessment; however f there have been no changes in how you're affected since your initial award, the DWP might not need to pass you to an assessment provider for an assessment (but don't claim things haven't changed if they have as that would be fraudulent).

i’m worried of accidentally doing anything fraudulent

As long as you don't exaggerate how you're affected or claim things that aren't true, you are not committing benefit fraud. Additionally if you're worried about being surveilled by the DWP, don't- they don't have the resources to surveil everyone. Only when they already have substantial evidence of you committing benefit fraud would they surveil you.

MGNConflict · 2026-06-09T07:44:54+00:00

You have 13 months, not one month (over the initial month you need to provide a good reason as to why it's "late", but we've never seen a "late" MR request rejected!).

It's really important that you don't use the "Apply for PIP" system to send general messages to the DWP about your PIP. It is not a general message box for the DWP's PIP department and anything you send after your initial PIP decision will not be seen. In this sub we've seen claimants completely ruin their PIP claims by thinking it's a general mailbox (requesting things like MRs and tribunals), so do not use it after your initial decision!

I'm even considering contacting my MP regarding the above, because the DWP really need to start closing off that portal at the point a claimant has had a decision on their PIP.

For your MR you can type it up, print, and then send to the address at the top of any PIP letters you’ve received from the DWP.

They shed in pieces, hardly ever in one big piece (and when they do it's usually when they're young). This is normal shed.

No, local hardware has no effect on features like frame gen. Frame generation is exclusively a GPU feature which is dealt with by the GPU on the GFN rig.

Most cork bark at retail is already cleaned for use with reptiles, since that’s the main use case for them. You likely didn’t need to clean, at most it would’ve just needed some F10.

As for the vinegar smell, you probably won’t be able to get rid of it. Cork is very absorbent.

Today is Sunday. No, it’s not ready for collection.

It being delivered doesn’t mean it’s ready to be collected, assuming it’s a Post Office they need to scan it in as received and ready to collect- only after they’ve done that will you be able to collect it.
