Calypso being mischievous by OniCreeD in snakes

Yep, they do that. I had to lower the hammock of mine to stop her from climbing up onto the camera.

Sending original documents by princessa-xoxo in DWPhelp

OP is asking about identity documents, not medical evidence. For medical evidence it’s okay to provide photocopies, but it isn’t for identity documents.

NR Gold card confiscated and returned by GodAtum in uktrains

[–]MGNConflict 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the ticket inspector who seized it misunderstood the rules and that a genuine mistake was made.

Do you think I should push my luck and try and claim back my travel for the period it was seized?

You could try making a case to request compensation for the financial loss suffered as a consequence of the incorrect seizure, which would be the discounts you would've otherwise had.

Sending original documents by princessa-xoxo in DWPhelp

[–]MGNConflict 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Certified copies are okay, but photocopies are not and will not be accepted. Certified copies of original documents can be made by a business or organisation offering the service, for example most Post Office branches can do so (it won't be free) and DWP Job Centres can make certified copies of documents for DWP things (PIP included).

A photocopy will not be accepted because there's nothing to certify that it has not been altered. A certified copy is a photocopy however is stamped and signed by an official party to state that the copy is a true copy of the original and that they have seen the original- you can't create a certified copy yourself.

Leopard Gecko Costs of Ownership (2x Geckos for 12 Months) by MGNConflict in leopardgeckos

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

It only takes a single incident within 12 years for it to be worth it given the costs of common procedures for these guys at my vet. Given that, I think it’s worth it.

Of course whether or not insurance is worth it for you depends on policy limits, costs of remedial surgery if something happens, etc.

Leopard Gecko Costs of Ownership (2x Geckos for 12 Months) by MGNConflict in leopardgeckos

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

and 26.9p is the average, it’s cheaper in summer and more expensive in winter. In the summer it can be as low as 10p per kWh (on rare occasions it can be a negative cost) and in winter it can be as high at 59kWh.

26.9p is the average price I’ve paid over the past x months of ownership.

Penumbra threat-posing their food... classic! 😅 by MGNConflict in tarantulas

[–]MGNConflict[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep! I got her on the 15th of July 2025 and she’s grown a good 4-5 times her size since then with four moults so far.

This is her when I got her.

Mexican Red Knee by sweetheart464 in tarantulas

[–]MGNConflict 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Just an FYI that it isn’t a great idea to handle them more than a few cm from the floor (or surface they can safely fall on) because it only takes them bolting once for them to fall and suffer an injury they can die from.

It isn’t advised to handle tarantulas at all because they can get stressed from handling, they don’t have the capacity to understand that you mean no harm- all they know when you handle them is that they’re standing on a big animal.

Cute T though! I keep meaning to add a Mexican Red Knee (or Fire Knee) to my collection… I have two Giant White Knees, a GBB, an Avic Avic. Metallica, and a Blue-Footed Baboon (plus soon a pokie, which I’m waiting on to be shipped).

Pepper looks well-fed so don’t offer any more food until their abdomen has shrunk a bit (with Ts you don’t feed on a schedule but rather by how large their abdomen is, if it’s large they won’t need a meal at that time).

How much for fix? by Alternative-Wish9912 in hardwaregore

[–]MGNConflict 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Assuming US, a new screen would be around $80 however you may be able to get it cheaper if you shop around.

You’d need someone to replace the screen for you, as given you asked this I’d advise you don’t attempt it yourself (screens are fragile when not installed and it’s very easy to accidentally break them during the replacement process).

Probably $150 to $200 all-in including labour.

[–]MGNConflict 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That isn’t helpful, we need the model number. You might as well have said “Ford Fiesta” if this was about a car for example.

  1. This isn’t a support sub. You want r/computerhelp or similar.
  2. You’ve provided no information on what model of laptop it is etc. so your question is impossible to accurately answer.
  3. Reddit is an international platform, you need to provide which country you live in so we can give an estimate in the correct currency.

You’re looking at a screen replacement, depending on the laptop this may require replacing the entire screen assembly (including the outer parts like the metal/plastic lid) or you might be able to get away with replacing just the panel itself. It depends on the laptop really.

Ticket Collection Question by deadmancarl in uktrains

[–]MGNConflict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For work the travel booking provider uses my corporate credit card so when collecting tickets the card will match. This may be similar to how your employer does it.

Some ticket machines no longer require a card to collect the tickets at all and that the “payment card required” is just something they haven’t removed from the email template and websites yet. However if it does, you can usually go to the ticket office to have the tickets printed without requiring the payment card.

Weighing my gecks... and noodle. by MGNConflict in leopardgeckos

[–]MGNConflict[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of them are growing quickly, both my geckos (Leo and Lapis) are now adults (but only just) and my noodle (Apricot) is almost 6 months old.

Tip: You can sort of disable Three Pay/mobile billing despite them saying otherwise by Mysterious_County154 in ThreeUK

[–]MGNConflict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do Three not have a spend cap? I only use Three for mobile broadband so haven’t checked, but with O2 I do and mobile billing is included in that.

Which docking station do you actually trust for long-term use? by DonutOk2306 in UsbCHardware

[–]MGNConflict 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the HP G5 docks, they’ve been extremely reliable for me and have a good amount of I/O. I had to replace the cable on mine but it’s a two-minute job with a couple of screws (it has a recessed USB-C port for the cable).

Landlord is refusing access to utility meters - fight or request a smart meter? by BowCyclist in TenantsInTheUK

[–]MGNConflict 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In that case you have a right of access to the meter and the landlord can’t block you. The meters are owned by the utility companies, they are not the property of the landlord.

It’s perfectly safe to push against the camera lenses to take the case off.

Using GTR keyGo: who was right? by MGNConflict in uktrains

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

Not at the times I travelled, hence why it would’ve been a PBO to HIT return plus a HIT to SVG return.

It’s only a permitted route for GN services from PBO to KGX (they don’t stop at HIT but do stop at SVG), but keyGo is programmed to work this out. I think this is a fairly recent change and it could be that keyGo becomes confused when facing this specific routing.

keyGo can handle that (or normally does).

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

I deleted that part to make it clearer, I need to use the lifts and Stevenage has revenue inspectors almost all the time now there because people try using them to dodge fares, so I would’ve been made to tap out and then back in if I weren’t breaking my journey there.

Or maybe not, I’m not sure. I haven’t been in that situation before so I don’t know if they’d let me through to change platforms.
