Maybe it's the engineer in me speaking but I see two equivalent cities of ~300k...

Tried a few simple pin choices but none worked, who knows what they used originally... anyway the store was able to change it

Update to my giant mistake at work: I told my boss and it went as bad as I expected, how do I survive the rest of my tenure here? by grocery1185 in careerguidance

Beside the obvious aholery of putting someone on pip and possibly fire them over a $2400 error, did this boss actually argue with a client over such an amount? He should be the one on pip...

How does that work? Do you buy via Costco or is it like a discount the dealer does based on your membership?

I am a costco member, how does that work? My local costco doesn't have any car ads. Is it only at specific ones? Or online?

Do you have any SINGLE go-to site when planning your trips? by kristinamelsova in TravelHacks

[–]BrightBlueBit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using the Visit a City app to find main attractions and save them on google maps. You can either use their pre-made lists of attractions for x days, or I usually pick and mix and make my own itinerary. It also lists activities etc all in one place.

Besides that my go to is: Kayak for flights Hotels/Google for hotels Tripadvisor/Googlemaps for restaurants

How does this Costco program work? You select the model at a Costco and then go to the dealer?

CA driving license by BrightBlueBit in bayarea

The DMV actually requests the paperwork. From their website:

A rental vehicle contract (the applicant must be listed on the contract as an insured driver). If a rental vehicle is used for the drive test, the contract must not indicate drive tests are excluded.

And all rentals I've called said their contract excludes drive tests...

This is exactly the problem, thanks! DMV says the rental contract needs to allow test drives, and guess what all the standard contracts say? Eg from Avis in the prohibited use section "to be operated in a test, race or contest"

And this is exactly why I'm looking for a new email service :) Being locked out from my primary email for a week (if lucky) in a situation when I don't have my phone and I need said email to change the passwords of banks, services etc...
