My heart sank when I seen my parcel is being delivered by Evri

I am going on a hiking trip on the 13th July and I ordered all my new gear on June 30th. I’ve been wondering when it would arrive as it has been a week.

I went to the tracking app and seen that it is Evri delivering my parcel and they have been ‘expecting my parcel’ for 6 days now I’ve no idea what is going on.

I’m worried I won’t be able to have my gear in time for my trip. Is there anything I can do?

Osmo Pocket 4 tripod for outdoor footage

I’ve recently picked up an Osmo pocket 4 for my trip to the Dolomites this summer I would like to be able to set up a tripod to get some footage of my partner and I together.

I would love if I could get some recommendations on a tripod that is suitable for outdoor and uneven ground. I would also like the tripod to be tall enough rather than having to set it up on top of something.

All recommendations are appreciated.

Hiking Seceda from Ortisei without Cable car

Hi, I’m a relatively seasoned hiker and regularly hike around the Irish mountains. Hikes ranging from 10km - 15km comfortably.

Is it reasonable to assume I could just hike from my hotel in Ortisei straight up to Seceda?

If so please recommend some routes/ trails.

Thanks.

Betta fish instantly ate our shrimp

This is Augustus, my Betta fish. I decided to buy some shrimp for his tank thinking they would do a bit of cleaning and clear up some of the algae that had formed.

Unfortunately after about an hour or two we really struggled to find any shrimp in the tank and Augustus actually burped up some pieces that we think are probably shrimp.

We thought that the shrimp were compatible with Betta fish? Any tips or suggestions on Betta fish compatible friends or tank cleaning fish we can add to his tank ?

Thank you

What plane will do the fly over at the World Cup final?

Is there anyway to find out what plan will fly over at the World Cup final? I assume Trump will want to make a big show on the world wide stage. Is the B2 busy that weekend?

Gift for my Bride on her Hen Party (Bachelorette Party)

*Remove if this is not suitable for this sub*

I am the Groom and I would love to send a thoughtful gift to my bride on her hen party. She heads off to Greece in a few weeks from the UK so flowers and such maybe wouldn’t work. I had thought of possibly a necklace or bracelet as she frequently wears them. I would include a note/card telling her how much she means to me also.

I would appreciate any suggestions that would make her trip away extra special. Thank you

CII outsourcing online examinations to PSI is frustrating

Before resitting my R03 exam I have just spent nearly 40 minutes and having to re-do the check-in 3 times as the ‘disconnected’ and I was sitting left with no response for over 10 minutes. PSI are unprofessional and do not care at all. I called the technical team after my exam as the session also just ended and shut down while I was checking over questions in the final 2 minutes of my exam. The only thing the technical team could say was “it says complete on our side” this is absolute crap and I now have to wait 24hrs to get my result from CII and I have emailed them to complain. This is completely unprofessional and incredibly frustrating.

10 Days Hiking The Dolomites Without Using Ski Lifts.

Hello, I am hiking The Dolomites in July with my family we are seasoned hikers and have no problem with long hikes. I have an itinerary of pretty much a hike-a-day including all the popular sites such as Tre Cime , Cinque Torri, Lago di Soripas etc.

We are staying in Cortina for our first 6 days and then Ortisei for 4 days, then off to Lake Garda to relax.

I don’t really want to have to pay the expensive ski lift prices so would it seem reasonable to anyone who has hiked The Dolomites before that we could avoid ski lifts all together and just hike up to each destination?

Thank you

Magpies & Crows eat all the bird feed.

Im very new to bird watching and I just watch the birds in my garden mostly. We have seen a large variety of different coloured pigeons, robins, tits, and some other birds regularly in our garden however, magpies and crows seem to demolish the balls left in our feeder very quickly. I mean we filled our 3 ball feeder yesterday and it is completely gone. We have witnessed the magpies and crows hogging the feeder.

Is there any way to avoid this?

I’m hiking the Dolomites in July and I am in the market for a new pair of walking shoes. Top of my list at the minute is the La Sportiva TX5. Would you recommend these shoes? Or any other recommendations are appreciated.

Holding MUU.

For those that hold MUU for a longer period have you felt any volatility decay during trading or risk in the rebalancing of the ETF due to the highly volatile characteristics of the MU stock at the minute.

Do you buy/sell MU daily or do you hold for longer?

I’ve never held leveraged stocks so this is just me being curious.

How to have the groom stand out amongst the groomsmen.

Hi, my wedding is coming up next year and the suits for the groomsmen and myself are black tuxedos. Usually the groom has something different that allows him to stand out. I am considering maybe going with a off white / creamish jacket as you’ve probably seen before.

I was thinking is there many other ways the groom can stand out, if I were to decide to stay with the black tuxedo jacket.

I’ve considered larger or different boutonniers or broches.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
