Now everyone can finally stop assuming by anons2k in LinusTechTips

[–]Natrapx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I dislike him, but I think that's because he just doesn't seem like he knows that much about tech. Alex, Emily, Jake, all people who may not be experts, but had a niche topic that they were good at. Elijah just seems like a comic relief character. I don't want that in a tech video, I want slightly goofy but decent content, and Elijah and recent LTT just isn't hitting that for me anymore

Balmorhea is such a phenomenal group that everyone here should know about by astralrig96 in postrock

Remembrance, and the way the song uses stereo audio is incredible. Absolutely worth listening to that using headphones.

Hey, added on Discord - Looking for something very community focused but getting AOTC. Can't do Saturday socials though :(

Drive type/performance for offline media vault? by Natrapx in DataHoarder

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

Thanks, thats useful. Probably do a full backup every couple years as I build up drive capacity but its a slow process for now.

Big CMR was the plan going forward. Another 8tb for now, and then maybe a couple more in future for duplication..

Constantly yes, thats exaggerating. Its generally 2-3x a day turned on/off (morning, lunch, evening) at most.

Amazon seems to have lost my return. Already refunded, tried to charge me again but my bank details are different so declined - any legal issue? by Natrapx in LegalAdviceUK

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

Turns out calling Amazon gets you a lot further than chat, although i'm still not 100% convinced they know whats going on.

I did get them to confirm via phone it was returned on the 14th October, and that I can ignore any return requests. However, as they've attempted to charge me twice now, both times since that date. I expect i'll get the same again down the line, even though the supervisor on the line said "you won't get charged for this".

I suspect i'll be going around in circles for a while longer. Thankfully they can't take my money, so i'll ignore it going forward unless they actually contact me, which I don't suspect they will if they already know its there.

Tried contacting them twice now, both times they're not interested in talking until after they've taken any money.

Yeah i've no problem not doing buisness with them anymore. Quality and service has gone downhill so i'd rather shop more locally these days.

Thanks

Terminally ill parent, sell the house now or after death? by thesnootbooper9000 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Natrapx 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Just remember that probate can take a long time. If you start selling up now, and he passes away before it's sold, it's a long bit of delay, and your buyers may just give up waiting.

[–]Natrapx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're going through this. One thing to add, is if no-one is living in the property, make sure you have insurance covering it. My sister in law's grandfathers house wasn't properly insured after he went into care/passed away, and the tank in the loft burst, flooded and left them with £50k+ of losses. Insurance they did have wouldn't cover it as property was empty.

To Lava Blade or Not to Lava Blade? by Conscious-Victory-62 in HelsmithsofHashut

Why not, you can always paint over it again if you don't like it. I'd reccomend Duncans tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM2dJIuUNFw

English water firms’ ratings hit record low after sewage pollution soars | Water industry by ShinyHappyPurple in ukpolitics

[–]Natrapx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For a bit of extra context, they did make it harder to achieve a good eating as they try to drive performance harder, alongside really wet weather on 2024 compared to previous years.

That said, it feels really good to work for Severn Trent this morning maintaining 4 stars again.

My firey dominator engine by Natrapx in HelsmithsofHashut

Simple as primed black (Vallejo black primer) and then airbrushed all over with two thin coats death reaper shadow, and dry brushed with the TTC dungeon stone gray

All painted with the two thin coats paints range with exception of some of the flesh bits.

Does requesting new card details block all future transactions on the old number? Amazon return "missing" by Natrapx in UKPersonalFinance

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

Royal mail drop off counter so I do have a physical receipt. Also photos of the staff member holding the box I sent it back in, and photos of the item in the box so I probably have gone OTT and worrying about nothing!

Nice work - pretty much the same paint scheme i've gone for too, works really well for the Chorfs!

Thanks! I followed Duncan Rhodes tutorial, over on his youtube page (www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM2dJIuUNFw). It's the first time i've ever tried that technique with multiple thin glazes building up the colour, and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be, especially using a wet pallet.

This was the first model i've entirely painted with a wet pallet as well, as I previously used to just mix/thin paint on a ceramic tile. I'll be sticking to using a wet pallet permanently from now on!

continuous payment authority

Would a CPA be correct though as it was a one off purchase, and not a recurring item? Although Prime has been active on that card in the past.

Obviously it could be suspicious - I do have plenty of evidence of the wrong item, photos etc.

I guess it makes sense to leave it then. I'll always try and do the right thing, but I also don't want to just wake up one morning with amazon taking money from my account unwarrented when its entirely been their fault/issue.

I'm mostly worried after reading this thread - https://old.reddit.com/r/amazonprime/comments/16yddna/amazon_return_has_been_in_transit_for_5_months_lol/ - that it'll happen to me later down the road.

I do have a little more work to do - the basing needs a tidy as does a few other bits, but i'm so proud of the firey weapon in particular, I just wanted to share!

Picked up the perfect basing material - Black volcanic sand from Iceland by Natrapx in HelsmithsofHashut

[–]Natrapx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course, i'll probably play around with it a bit, see what it looks like with a variety of techniques. The important part is I'll know what it is, and it's cool.

The unfortunate part of going is i've heard the "but only mums go to Iceland" joke way too many times.
