    The missing items aka Blue Tokai coffee packs have already been used, and chocolate consumed by kids. :lol:

    Thank you so much for the personalized packaging, thoughtful gifts, handwritten messages and Christmas trinkets. I am really lookin forward to sipping some hot chocolate and building the Jesko Speed Champion. :punk:

    I am glad you liked it! :)

    Both wife and I switched back to Android from iOS. Samsung Galaxy Flip 5 & Pixel 8.  

    My iPhone 12 mini battery was barely lasting the day with moderate usage and battery capacity had reduced to around 82%. I really wanted a high refresh rate screen and didn't want to spend 1.3L on the 15 pro (the camera really doesn't matter to me) - so moved back to Android. It was a pain moving the whatsapp chats over (phone exchange), but all settled now and not really missing iOS tbh. 

     

    Wife just wanted the new Pixel. She never liked the move to iOS from her previous Pixel 3. 

     

    Got a good exchange rate for our old iPhone 12 minis on Amazon & FK. Much better than the cashify rates. 

     

    Wife's Pixel 8.

    Need a water geyser, haven't bought one ever. Any recommendations?

    My recommendation is Racold Aures, have been using for 2 years and now replaced all geysers with this one.

     

    This does not have any water storage capacity, water passes through the coils and gives hot water directly. Requirement for this is good water pressure.

    Giving RB seat back to Daniel will be premature. I don't think Daniel can compete in his current form. Even compared to Lawson, his performance was not great.

    Also, people and drivers can keep on blaming that the car has been designed around Max and they can't perform in it. It is the natural law, if Checo were the faster the driver, RB would have designed the car around him. You can't make a generalist car and expect to win the championship.

    And we know how things went with Max ad Daniel.

     

    Absolutely there is no reason to RB for Checo;s performance, RB has delivered a car which is beyond other teams expectations and Checo did deliver some good results at least initially he was neck to neck with Max so car cannot be blamed here

    I think he will keep his seat if comes 2nd.

    If he loses that 2nd spot, I expect RB to churn him.

    I do not see any driver which can replace him as most are already signed with another team or not good enough.

    At best, we can expect one of the Alpha Tauri drivers to bump up and Lawson to get a full time seat in AT.

     

    Iam not even feeling bad for Checo now, he got ample opportunity in a car which is literally unbeatable. He will be compared with Max and they are miles apart. 

     

    There are chances Daniel might get RB seat again, back to square 1

    There was not an error on your end.
    This generally happens when your BUY order gets matched with a counter SELL order which was intraday in nature.
    The other person (seller) failed to provide these shares, hence, your order no longer had any equity backing it and was "Short Delivered".

     

    Now, the exchange conducts an auction on the following day in such scenarios. All of the other sellers bid to fulfill your order. The price discovered in the auction is capped at 20% higher/lower circuit than the previous closing price. The original seller will be sent a penalty note for the short delivery, this penalty goes into the investor protection fund.

    If the auction is unable to provide you the shares and if the auction price is lower than what was the closing price of that stock on the T day, your account will be credited with the higher of the closing/auction price, generally 20% upper circuit so that you can buy the shares again.

    If it showing in your PF without any "Short" tag then most likely you have already received the shares via the auction process.

    Phew! That's a relief, when I read I subject line I thought I short sold the share which I have never done. Thanks for explaining so well. 

     

    In which scenario seller fails to provide these shares?

    I took the open box delivery on a busy road and the guy was in such a hurry that I had to threaten him to cancel the order because he was not allowing me to do my checks. But then he relented and allowed me, so I checked the serial twice - Apple coverage website said this

    Then manufacturing date - July 2023✅

     

    serial number starting with M ✅

     

    Seal intact - both Apple’s and FK’s extra one ✅

     

    turned it on and phone showed the same serial number (it showed upfront) ✅

     

    no damage, looked pristine except fresh fingerprints 🤬✅

     

    box opening video taken ✅

     

    ordeal but peace of mind 😅✅

    Buying from flipkart is such a hassle and risky, glad you are good. I had to order just an aeropress from fk but still I was so worried
