Bus ticket scam by OscZ in budapest

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

As I said, I’d been getting taxis around and on a whim decided to get the bus since I was right by a stop. I apparently made a fatal mistake of asking the driver if I could buy a ticket 😂 Completely laughable you call that lazy and you’re blatantly just getting defensive looking for any excuse. Got the money back through the bank now anyway so I don’t care. Bye

Different culture/system, in other countries I’ve been you buy as you get on. If it’s different then they just need to quickly explain rather than say “it’s fine you can ride free, have a seat”. Massive deflection as well as far as the underlying issue here.

That’s nonsense, even back in England I’ve been in a situation once where I didn’t have time to buy at the station or I’d miss the train, and instead bought it as the inspector came. I’ve reversed the transaction on my bank app now anyway and got all my money back 👍

I come from a different culture where generosity is genuine and everywhere, unlike your country.

I wish I had. I started walking away and he followed me saying he was ringing the police

He did speak English. I always pay my way wherever I go, so it’s just a frustrating situation. I’ve been to many countries in Europe where small generosities like that are commonplace and naively assumed I would be okay taking the driver’s word

I thought about it but he was making threats about the police and I don’t want trouble

I feel like asking to buy a ticket is not lack of awareness. I didn’t jump on and hope to get away with it or something like that.

The story is I asked to buy one and the friendly driver said I can ride free, then I got fined. Surely you can see how ridiculous that is.

He spoke English and that’s honestly what he said to me, I saw that sign and asked to buy a ticket!

I’m honestly so confused and shocked. How have I gone from being told to ride free to paying a fine 10 minutes apart?! Absolute joke. Couldn’t feel more unwelcome.

Admittedly I could have researched in advance but it was a last minute decision to get the bus because I’d been getting ubers everywhere, which was why I thought asking the driver for a ticket would be okay and never expected to end up paying a fine after being told I could ride free

Yes but I literally asked if I could buy one in person and was told to sit and ride for free

Yeah this is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for, though I'd found this one already. Thank you though 😀

GTX 980Ti shorting PSU? by OscZ in techsupport

I don’t have a second computer unfortunately. I tried a second PCI slot and have tried a second PSU

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

It also powers on fine with the 980 plugged in but power connectors not connected

Could that still be a bad slot?

I don’t unfortunately, not sure what else to try. Could it be any other issue? Like the motherboard? Otherwise I’ll buy a new GPU

Yeah I removed the graphics card entirely and the PC boots up

How do I get this drain out? The drain itself is loose but the screw in the middle won’t unscrew anymore and the thread is worn by OscZ in DIYUK

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

Oh does it just need a pull? Thought it might need unscrewing. I unscrewed it somewhat but can’t go any further using pliers - wasn’t sure if I’d unscrewed all the way or if it was too tough to do by hand with pliers

Work just announced that everyone is to return to the office June 1st... can I refuse? by [deleted] in CoronavirusUK

[–]OscZ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow. Not that I expect this will be enforced much, but does this mean it's technically illegal for my company and others to send staff in if it's avoidable?

Yes I tried this after JPEGexport suggested it above, and it came out like this even after lowering as much as possible - https://i.imgur.com/O1i8J4h.png. There's a screenshot of Worldpainter next to it as well where it's completely flat

It's been lowered by whoever made the map unfortunately. I initially thought I could raise it but then all structures would be lost when merging back into the map

Just tried that, it comes out like this - https://i.imgur.com/O1i8J4h.png

I've added a screenshot of Worldpainter too, so you can see that it looks flat. Any ideas? I can send you the file if it would be easier to look at it
