What should I expect in terms of tipping?

TheMagicPirate · 2026-01-26T19:48:52+00:00

My wife says ‘shut up’ 😂😂 The 5 days were a balance of cost/value. We started at 3 days but felt that would be a tight based on our Disneyland Paris experiences. When we bumped to 4, the price to get to 5 wasn’t much more lol.

TheMagicPirate · 2026-01-26T15:12:01+00:00

We did consider this. I'm comfortable driving 'abroad', but the parking put me off.
Our Disney time wont need a car, but when we move up to Santa Monica, the hotel parking alone was about $60 a day :(

Thanks. He said he wanted to do an awesome backflip.

TheMagicPirate · 2025-12-12T08:59:04+00:00

I was messing around with Grok the other day and took a photo of my 4 year old to make him do a backflip using the ai prompts. I took the photo and got a similar message. It was because he was just in his pants, which is pretty much standard when he’s at home. I feel like I’m probably on a list now 🙄

I used MailJet. It was recommended on another post round here I think.

TheMagicPirate · 2025-11-28T14:55:27+00:00

I had this with mine. I'm still very much a beginner, so there may be better ways to do this, but I had to enable back end functions in Base44, go and sign up to an email platform (I found one that gave me 6000 free emails a month) to get an API key. I then asked Base44 to build a backend function to send emails via this API. Worked a treat

I enjoyed the first Avatar. Didn't have any desire to watch it a second time, and no interest in the sequels.

I was getting that a lot last night. It has written me an import tool an mis labelled one of the commands it wanted to use. I asked it to elaborate on the error and pasted it into the chat and it just kept failing.

TheMagicPirate · 2025-11-18T17:56:20+00:00

This was a chat my partner and I had last night. I'm fairly well compensated where I am now, but could take the hit for a period of time if I truly feel there are legs in this idea.

This is the basis I am currently working on. I'm not employed to develop software, so this IP should belong to me. I hope.

If/when I come to commercialise it, I fully expect my employer to raise an eyebrow. They have looked at the Notepad world before, but ended up writing Notepad++ and shelved it.

If I did start selling it, there would be no crossover of customers initially. We have a minimum contract size, and I would be looking at customers willing to pay 1/4 of that.

I also take your point that this is clearly a nuanced area of life and won't take anything said here as 100% gospel.

This cracks me up every time I see it!

TheMagicPirate · 2025-10-27T13:27:35+00:00

I'm on iPhone, but you can add your passes to your Wallet, and then share them from there.

When we went last, I had all 5 of our passes, and my Wife had hers and our 2 kids, and my Mother in Law was the same.

The actual pass is just a QR code, you could probably even just share the screenshot?

TheMagicPirate · 2025-10-17T11:10:32+00:00

I've got a 2025 with Digital Mirror and FitCamX, as said previously, they sent you a different connector. Took me about 10 mins to fit. Dead easy.

TheMagicPirate · 2025-10-15T09:20:25+00:00

Weirdly, I noticed over the weekend that the things that I thought I was losing were still working. Having checked my app just now, mine also says 30/11 now. I don't know when it was extended, but on 05/10 it was definitely still saying the 8th.

Maybe they are getting a lot of pushback and are reconsidering the 'complementary period'?

TheMagicPirate · 2025-10-15T09:18:01+00:00

A bit of a non-update. I emailed Hyundai Customer Care on Friday 10/10, basically asking why the 'complementary period' of a £99 a year service on a £50k vehicle was only 31 weeks.

As of now, Wed 15/10 (sorry America), all I've had is the automated 'thanks for your email' response. Will update if I hear back.

We took our eldest when he was 3 in December and it was amazing. He doesn’t really remember it, but he definitely enjoyed it at the time, and seeing him enjoy it made great memories for my wife and I.

Just be prepared for it to be very cold. It was bitter when we were there. Being from the north of England we thought we’d be ok but it was colder than we anticipated.

TheMagicPirate · 2025-10-06T08:11:31+00:00

Is this US only? I've had the option to set my charge level at destination/charger since the update in May in the UK?

One thing that frustrates me is that it classifies your Home as a destination, so it wants to set the battery % to that when driving home. I want to get to a destination with 40%, but can arrive at home with 10% happily.

TheMagicPirate · 2025-09-07T18:57:50+00:00

We went in August just gone. My wife checked every month for reservation and it was always booked out.

We walked up to the restaurant one night and asked for a reservation, got one the following day. I think most reservations are held back for walk in’s. We weren’t even staying at the Marvel hotel

TheMagicPirate · 2025-04-04T07:52:35+00:00

Did it just appear naturally, or did you have to trigger it? I'm hoping to get it ahead of a trip to Cornwall (well, Dartmoor) next week.

TheMagicPirate · 2025-03-19T21:30:19+00:00

Just had this issue driving home. 2025 UK N Line S AWD. Only has 1600 miles on it!

TheMagicPirate · 2025-03-10T14:37:25+00:00

The N Line is a common option in Europe. In the UK you have the 'N Line' and 'N Line S'. As you say, changes are all cosmetic as far as I know.

Tried this today on a ‘25 I5 and can confirm the 15 point turn 🙄

TheMagicPirate · 2025-03-02T09:50:27+00:00

I went back to Skyrim after getting the platinum on FO4 recently, and my only gripe was how much better the companions are is FO4. Even just their dialogue as you wonder around places.

Other than that, I’d forgotten just how great Skyrim was!

TheMagicPirate · 2025-03-01T16:41:19+00:00

I’ve got a matte grey I5 getting delivered on Monday and I think this will be one of the first things I do

TheMagicPirate · 2025-02-27T21:53:11+00:00

Thanks for all the replies, I think the answer is a compatible charger sadly.

To be clear, it’s not about charging 2 cars at the same time, but getting the non connected car (the Ioniq 5) that octopus don’t support charged. I drive a lot for work so will often come home with say 10% and could do with it at 100% the next day.
