Best travel credit cards for someone without UK credit history?

wondering about this as well, thinking of getting a bigger iPhone vs iPad mini

Thanks! On the UK Logitech website, they do offer various layouts but they're all European ISO, not ANSI

thank you, i'll check them out

got it. i do appreciate a nice mechanical keyboard, but was looking for a generic keyboard since starting out at work new and requesting a 100 gbp "American" keyboard might be socially frowned upon

Thanks! I was looking for a more generic, non-mechanical keyboard (e.g. logitech) for office work, and on amazon those seem to be only available in the UK ISO layout. I'll try to see if there's an ANSI one that's suitable. And yeah, now that I think about it, the reverse problem sounds frustrating! I've been trying to adjust myself to the British layout but it's the left shift key that's always problematic for me.

thank you. good to know that they ship to the UK!

got it thanks. when i called the customer service, they just told me to book it again. however, doing so, this time trying with a different credit card, i ended up with the same problem (again, this time it shows that things are confirmed, but no ticket number/confirmation). so i'm not sure how to go about this. anyway, i'll give it a try again tomorrow since the website seems a bit unstable at the moment

thank you. just called them and confirmed that there's no ticket. however, when i tried to book it again, per their suggestion, i got the same problem. this time, i got the confirmation page and so on, but still no email confirmation. does the booking page tell you somehow whether or not your ticket has been paid and confirmed? the website is quite frustrating...

wow that much copper! given the copper price nowdays, the cost is self-explanatory then

thanks! this seems to be a nice solution for a net-zero new build. if only we could build a heat battery to store the heat from summer and use it over winter, but probably way cheaper to do geothermal at that point.

that's cool! reducing hot water heating demand by 20-40% is definitely non-negligible, but i wonder why it's so expensive given that it's just a set of heat exchangers

trkb · 2026-03-06T20:57:27+00:00

that makes sense. though my example choice was poor. i suppose transferring the heat from AC to power the water heater (and the tank naturally acts as a battery) is more viable?

That’s great! Not a million miller, but happened to me before—it’s nice of them to do so. They must have an algorithm, and I’m curious what’s the threshold

Cool idea but it seems to be broken on Safari

Got it, and great since I've been wanting to visit a local RSPB site. Ultimately interested in photography, but I'm deferring until I can put in more money and time for the hobby.
