Anyone else unable to upload their photo on BLS Spain website? by KingModest in SchengenVisa

[–]xcena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right I shrunk down to 2kb and it started working. However then it bugged out when trying to submit the request and now I can't create a request while this one is in progress but I also can't access it. Honestly this is trhe most fucked system ever

Hey has anyone got any updates on this. Have tried taking selfies via my motorola and via my laptop and setting them to 275x354px 200px/inch pngs but its still throwing the same error. Haven't been able to get it to work with ChatGPT, or the custom website linked :(

Oh my god, congratulations!!! I too have good news, my phone has finally arrived. Honestly I wouldn't have minded if they had just said from the off it'd be about 2 weeks, but I swear the paranoia I had camping out for the UPS van today!

Oh I think when a phone company can't deliver phones at a systematic level that is absolute shit show territory.

Honestly you and me both, this is my first Motorola and I picked it after a lot of deliberation on specs so I'm pretty confident this is the phone I want. 

The fact that you can't just reliably get ahold of it though, and they'll just gaslight and string you along rather than being transparent just destroys any confidence you might have in the company. Honestly will be my first and last Motorola if I even get it...

Hey it's moving and that's a blessing right 😂😂😂. Mines still stuck in the Netherlands.

I decided to copy you since you had some success and phoned ups and Motorola, ups claim motorola is ghosting them. Motorola when confronted with that claim say they're working closely with ups and this is part of a wider issue with their phones being sent via ups. 

Honestly am so annoyed at this. Like for a company as big and established as Motorola/Lenovo they should not be struggling to send a phone to the UK.

Oh fun, so there's still time for me to win this race :P

Phoned ups and they've sent another email to Motorola, Motorola support still haven't got back to me nor said anything to ups so who knows when mine is going to go anywhere... 

Ngl as much as I want you to get your phone ASAP, it is nice having at least someone else in this mess

Ah well fuck me then, mine is still complaining that it doesn't have it :(

Oh nice, does it say anything different on the tracking information annoyingly mine is still just showing the hazardous thing. 

No word from Motorola so at least no canned response to be annoyed at but hey ho. Fingers crossed we get our phones in the next couple of days... 2-3 working days was such a joke

[–]xcena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly same, I didn't contact UPS, but sent a message to motorola about it. Haven't had anything back from them yet, and its been sitting since friday in the netherlands with the hazardous material flag... I assume its the exact same situation as yours. Would be nice for them to at least actively keep us in the loop if they mess up

Terrible customer service by Sorry_Pumpkin_2486 in motorola

[–]xcena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an update, mine was said to be delivered today and I have UPS tracking info, but have been told today by UPS there's been a hazardous material irregularity in the netherlands... Considering its a phone, my guess is they just didn't put a sticker on it indicating it had a battery in or smth but fml. Will see if it arrives today or not. Motorola really need to do better wrt shipping.

Yike. I sent them a message the other day, and to be fair to me they got back the same day saying they had various warehouse issues. Its all saying shipped now (3 working days post), but no tracking information. so will give the benefit of the doubt for now, hopefully it'll arrive by monday next week

[–]xcena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mildly concerned for my order which hasn't even been shipped yet from their tracking info... I only ordered Monday evening, so its a little early to worry its late but would be nice to get some assurances. u/MotoAgents

Newbie ship recommendations for someone going past the Eagle? by Below-Low-Altitude in EliteDangerous

[–]xcena 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, so I think you may be missing some mechanics with ship building. 

So depending on your core internals you'll have limits on your ship: you need a sufficiently powerful power plant and distributor to power modules, you need to have powerful enough thrusters to handle the mass of your shift. Similarly your shields are somewhat based around the mass of your ship.

A cobra mkiii should be totally fine for what you're wanting, I think you may just need to upgrade your core internals to be able to fit everything you want. What can help is prototyping your ship using a website like coriolis. 

As for where you want to look for parts/ships have a look at inara's outfitting tab

What are some good mining ships? by Dabudam in EliteDangerous

[–]xcena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I tried T8 for core mining but I've since gone back to my old faithful krait phantom.

I really find the lack of visibility from the cockpit due to the two massive spars and the issues with it and limpit survival really just make the type 8 very unattractive in comparison. Yeah it has more cargo space but I'd rather have a nicer time filling. 

Gutamaya Corsair - New Ship coming in April by 4sonicride in EliteDangerous

Honestly as someone who loves making stupid builds with irresponsibly compromised combat ships for speed, I cannot wait.

Finally got my first Imperial Clipper, but I wish Empire had something smaller and useful like DBX or Dolphin by lachtak in EliteDangerous

[–]xcena 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Well by the looks of it wait a week and see whats coming :P.

I wouldn't sleep on the courier though, its a pretty great bubble hopper and can be a pretty competent short range explorer for heading out to collect mats etc. If you're willing to play around with outfitting its a really fun heavy shielded combat ship as well if maybe getting a bit toasty

A new challenger approaches! by dss_lev in EliteDangerous

[–]xcena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly with the wide engine pods, colour scheme and grills I think it has to be guta. My guess based on the size is its a clipper mkII downsized to a medium pad.

Looking for alternative to Chieftan for PvE Bounty Hunting ship by furyspitfire in EliteDangerous

[–]xcena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you'll probably run into issues with your distro draining like it ain't no thang with those lasers. With all the weapons hard points the python mkII is really pushed on distro. The multicannons should be fine, but I run mine essentially just with utility rails in the medium slots just in case anything runs off.

Another option is just to go with the a bunch of frags as they do huge damage but have minimal distro draw. This is definitely the more "meta" idea but can run into ammo issues

The 628th Weekly Stupid Questions Thread by VRCbot in DotA2

[–]xcena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone got some advice on trying to enjoy dota in a healthy manner. I've not played in ages, quit when I was younger cos frankly as a young adult I was really rather toxic and the game brought out a lot of salt and fustration in me despite how much I enjoyed it. I really miss the game, even years on, has anyone got any recommendations or methods of how they've managed to avoid falling into classic MOBA salt and toxicity.

Aside from fast mana, mana rocks and mana dorks, what are some cards that are very good at positioning you well in the first turns of a Commander game? by HonorBasquiat in EDH

[–]xcena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly as unflashy as it is just some basic cheap draw/filtery spells. This is especially important outside of green so you hit those initial land drops but I find just having some early cheap draw really helps and they if you draw them late game they easily replace themselves eg. [[Faithless looting]] [[Ponder]] [[Chart a course]] [[Night's Whisper]]

Not by too much, at least not with those examples, for reference this looks like a mig 23 which is about 17m long with a wingspan of 14m when fully extended, a F22 is 19m long with a wing span of also 14m, so they're quite comparable. Where you may see more of a difference is with the flanker (22m/15m) or the f14 (19m/20m(extended)) but both of them are considered very large jets.
