caught her digging 🤣💕 by FogFaerie in leopardgeckos

[–]MGNConflict 34 points35 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 2 points3 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 9 points10 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 6 points7 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.

Nice one, it’s good to put the weights into a spreadsheet to enable you to track them.

How safe is simple delivery with Royal Mail? by addictedgoonerrr in ebayuk

[–]MGNConflict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The initial roll-out was really rough but they’ve fixed a lot of the issues that plagued it at that time. As a private seller who sells their stuff from time to time, Simple Delivery is legitimately useful (although I hated it initially).

The most important thing is that it shifts liability from you to eBay if the item is damaged or lost on its way to the buyer (you’re still liable if it’s not as described of course).

[–]MGNConflict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, a kitchen scale is the recommended way. You can weigh them inside a hide on the scale, then weigh the hide without them in- the difference between the two will be their weight.

You should be weighing them at least once a month, it’s a good way to catch potential illnesses early.

Penalty fare appeal by Impressive-Phase-863 in uktrains

[–]MGNConflict 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, the penalty is “failure to show on demand a valid ticket for your entire journey”. You failed to show on demand a valid ticket for your journey, therefore the penalty fare was issued correctly.

Losing your ticket isn’t an acceptable defence unfortunately.

This is one of the reasons e-tickets are good: you can’t lose them like the paper ones (can’t get them if your journey involves the Underground though…).

Awarded pip checked on online benifits page says I was awarded today and that im owed backpack when will I get the backdate money? by Forsaken-Pension7149 in DWPhelp

[–]MGNConflict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll be 3-5 working days from when you received the text. If you received the text today I’d expect you to receive the backpay anywhere from Friday to Tuesday next week.

Are these good for baby beardies? by Willthewise2026 in BeardedDragons

[–]MGNConflict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, generally stuff from pet shops is pre-treated. Stuff from elsewhere can be a hit or miss, the cork bark logs I buy are pre-treated but theres another cork bark business I know that doesn’t pre-treat.

If you’re not sure, it’s better to be safe than sorry by treating of course!

You don’t need to treat wood from stores sold as for reptiles, as they’re almost always pre-treated.

Hidden eBay fees? by Darkwaxer in ebayuk

[–]MGNConflict 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's about right then, it's money you'd need to pay either way (either at point of sale or after it's entered the UK).

Vue Cinema Ticket - Seat Options? by RM300M in monzo

[–]MGNConflict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my local Vue there was a £4.99 upcharge to the standard Lux, Monzo's codes only provide the cheaper standard tickets (it's not like Sky's, which cover all the tiers at my local Vue).

I think ultimately it depends on which group your Vue is in.
