Wondering how seatfrog works for AWC trains?

Once you upgrade for a specific route , how will seatfrog upgrade your specific ticket? Assuming that you only upgrade a tocket rather than buying a whole journey.

Also, is the upgrade to first class worth it for 20-30 pounds extra?

Should I stuff my pc with bubble wrap from the inside for transporting it 150 miles via car?

I am moving my PC. I have removed the GPU but since its a short trip and I have made some wiring complication, removing the air cooler doesnt seem ideal.

I will be transporting the PC on its side, but should I add a load of bubble wrap inside the PC for more support? Will static electricity generated by the bubble wrap be an issue? (The bubble wrap from what I know is a standard one, not specifically for PCs)

Route with least inconvenience from Wembley to University (Birmingham)?

Moving for the first time on Wednesday and I will be carrying a large luggage bag along with a handbag. Will be travelling midday.

The two routes I see are the AWC from Euston and Chiltern Rail from Wembley Stadium. Accounting for travel to Euston, there is not much between the two routes.

I have never travelled in Chiltern, and worry about overcrowding in the train.

Is it also safe to put luggage in the luggage racks or is there a chance it gets nicked?

Thank you

Using train-line to check prices, why do I not get offered certain options?

I checked tickets for London any to Bournville and its all Avanti West coast trains which tbh are expensive for me.

My friend told me to check from London to Birmingham new street and now Chiltern and West Midlands rail shows up.

Its not like the Avanti takes me to Bournville so why do I not get options for all 3 carriers when I choose Bournville as a destination?

Natural processing and the app in general for someone who doesnt edit the image after?

I am someone who doesnt understand the ins and outs of photography. I do not edit my photos after capturing them as well.

In such a case, would the natural processing aspect be worth it and should I get the app? How is the setup for the app and what are LUTs?

(UK) Blood donation eligibility as a South-east Asian?

Hi,

I recently moved to the UK a few years ago and I was told that I cannot donate blood due to my ethnicity (Risk of tuberculosis was cited at the time). I have been tested negative for TB before entering the UK.

I unfortunately forgot all about it until recently when I looked and was allowed to make an account on blood.co.uk and was able to
Book appointments. Was I initially misinformed and am I generally eligible (not accounting for individual variability)?

Located in the UK

Thank you

Does the song Still Not a Player by Big Pun (ft. Joe) lyrics say fuck or crush?

Sorry this is a weird question but listening on spotify, the song lyric definitely is "Im not a player I just crush a lot" but while outside, I randomly heard it at a venue with the lyric "Im not a player I just fuck a lot". I dont know if this was just me mishearing something or not because I have been used to "crush a lot" since ages.

My indoor coleus has begun to have twisted leaves and black spots on leaves, please help.

I got a coleus about a 6 weeks ago. It was in water and then I transitioned it to soil after 2 weeks. I initially overwatered it as advised and now water it every time the soil does not feel damp. The plant is on a North facing window sill in the UK, gets a few hours of indirect light every day. It does not get significant direct light due to the window orientation.

Recently I noticed that some of the leaves have started to develop black spots, are twisted, feel dry and crumpled and the base of the stem is developing a white substance. There are no evident signs of pests and spider mites that I can see. The new leaves also have lost the variegation design that the old leaves had.

All help is appreciated. Please let me know what I should do immediately and what I can do over the coming weeks in order to keep the plant healthy.

Living in Selly Oak for an year

Hi,

I have an year long internship at Bournville starting July. I was looking for some accommodation and found a few at that fit my needs.

Is living in Selly Oak fine though? I am a student myself but I do not buy in much to the party culture. Apart from it being very lively in this regard, is the area generally safe? Are there particular areas to avoid? And should I broaden my search to renting in places like Stirchley? There unfortunately arent many good options in Bournville itself.

The current house I have enquired at in Selly Oak are suitable and so I am wondering if the area is fine alongside it or is it worth dropping the house due to the surrounding area?

Properties I am looking at are near Selly Park and Selly Oak Park

Any help is appreciated.

My very new plant seems to be struggling with new leaves, tips?

I got a coleus 3 weeks ago and moved it from a small plant in water to in a pot with soil about 2 weeks ago.I got a coleus 3 weeks ago and moved it from a small plant in water to in a pot with soil about 2 weeks ago.

I have been watering it based on the soil dampness a few cm from the top. It’s developing new leaves (the small ones on top) but they seem to be losing the variegated pattern. I keep it on a southern facing window so while it gets a fair amount of direct light it doesn't get more than a little direct light.

I am very new to houseplants and do not want to kill the plant off. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

SIB Prey (2017) as a story-based FPS game?

Prey is currently on a Fanatical bundle so I get it for basically £3.5. What I wanted to know was whether its a game that I might enjoy. I have seen it mentioned here a few years ago but since its an old game, I wanted to bring the conversation back.

It seems like a fun game. I have played Control recently and really enjoyed it a lot and this looks similar to it? (without too much of the crazy ability stuff). Currently I play rougue-likes so I want to change my genre away from them.

Thanks for the help.

Also, I haven't bought anything from Fanatical yet. Are they legit? I dont want to support dodgy game keys.

I am looking to move to Birmingham for a 1 year internship. I wouldn't mind visiting the properties but as a student, I have upcoming exams till mid-May, and wont have the time to do so for a couple weeks. I also live a couple of hours away so I would have to make a day out of it.

The agent provided a website for the property virtual tour and mentioned that I could have a video call with them to view the house and the room.

Is it necessary to do a viewing? I agree that it would be vital in making a decision, but I also fear that waiting a couple of weeks might reduce the number of available properties.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I could do this on PDFgear where I could create a handwritten signature, flatten it in the PDF and now its part of the PDF. However, I recently read upon some issues with PDFgear and decided to use against it.

Using onlyoffice, is it possible to add a digital signature? I saw tutorials that mention using the signature tab on the ribbon but I am unable to find it. The document I want to sign is one that doesnt have a e-sign field but has a signature field above which I sign it.

While 50 degrees isnt too high, I am on ultra with AMD ultra quality FSR3. The GPU stays fixed at 50 degrees, doesnt get higher or lower. The hotspot temperature stays at 76-78 degrees and doesnt change much either.

My fans are at 3600 RPM. Is there anything wrong with my settings?

I havent had much experience with either flying long distance, but they seem to be the only viable option right now.

Are both of them equally good or bad? Anything to be concerned about with either? And how is the ease of checking in, boarding, getting boarding passes on app etc?

Thanks
