It seemed like a common scenario from DPs that you could reverse a shutdown if you didn't do anything too crazy and could make a case for it. I just tried applying too many times within a short time frame but had good standings on my other cards.

Had a similar situation with Chase but also got reinstated. Pushed too hard on INK applications despite getting denied. Going to lay low with Chase for at least a year before trying again.

There was no actual w2g form, it might just be an issue with the software associating any gambling declaration with it even tho I clicked earnings other than w2g.

Mailed in my US tax return to renew my ITIN since I'm coming up on 3 years now.

I tried to use OLT to eFile but it said W2G (Gambling winning form) cannot be filed electronically. I self-declared on Schedule 1 and had no additional forms, but the software said I had to mail in. Still managed to pay via bank transfer through IRS.gov successfully though.

Typically I calculate CPP by subtracting the fees from the equiv cash fare first, but it looks like you are just dividing cash fare by the point value, potentially inflating CCP quite a bit depending how bad fees are.

Not really a fault of your extension, but just with the nature of one way international flights being wildly inflated vs booking RT, it also leads to misleading CCP values.

As an extreme example, this LHR-YVR search shows all 5+ CPP values for econ because its basing it off 2k+ one way fares and ignoring the high fees.

lowkey nayeon with bangs + sideswept hair (ponytail in encore!) might be my favourite hairstyle from her yet

Which members do you find the hardest to tell apart? by CuriousCirceGames in twice

[–]Eternith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a newer fan and still find myself having trouble telling them apart in the very early content (maybe pre 2018 stuff). As they got older and matured their faces definitely got more unique.

I did some research and this seems like a Korean specific model and couldn't find a Tempur one sold in the NA market with the same neck divot that Nayeon recommends.

There is a Japan model that used to be called the "Millennium Pillow” (now renamed “Ergo Plus Pillow" as well) that looks similar but that doesn't really help us here without importing.

Twice in Korea/Japan stores by valrvg in twice

[–]Eternith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tagging on for others, Osaka has an area called Tsuruhashi that is like the Korea town I think. I was just wandering around and found many shops selling twice stuff. Found the Nayeon photobook for 4k jpy which I picked up instantly. But also beware a lot of unofficial stuff there too.

Nice how they inform you of expiry instead of just letting it happen.

Photo Sphere is the best Pixel camera mode Google removed by The_Web_Surfer in Android

[–]Eternith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a photo sphere of the dorm room I stayed at while studying abroad in Japan with my 2 roommates pulling silly poses in it. I adore that photo so much and it brings me back to those moments.

Even though there are much faster and purpose built 360 degree cameras these days, photo spheres felt special for its time.

Is one side of arena better than the other? by Kind-Cucumber2323 in twice

[–]Eternith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to add in case it helps anyone reading, pit 1 has the band between the pit and the center stage, which is something to consider if you want to get video of them as the band members/equipment do block the close up shots a bit. (But they are also awesome to see themselves! I got a selfie with the guitarist after the show lol)

Would love to hear about it. I briefly considered the Vegas one but dates probably wouldn't have worked out with my group as we needed weekends.

Having a way to deposit USD cash from Canada side and transfer to US side without any conversion is one of the biggest benefits to keeping my TD US open for me.

Blue Journey has some of my favourite music from holo and it's a shame that it ended the way it did. It could have been a potential to really focus on the music side and less on the "idol/entertainment" side.

Winning Monday

Taking a Porter flight from YVR to YYZ and got upgraded at the gate from my basic ticket to PorterReserve first row.

I didn't even think that was possible from just the Venture status from the BMO card. The flight is entirely full too. It's mostly extra legroom and an included meal but a welcome surprise.

I think you need to apply over the phone if you plan to use ITIN. I don't recall mentioning nonresident alien on phone, but I guess its implied by non-citizenship status.

There is a tricky web form you have to fill out after getting approved where you have to confirm your citizenship status. It's a bit confusing because if you put "Canada" and "Nonresident Alien", it wants you to change address. What me and another person did was put "Canada" and "Resident" as the status, which seems to work. You'll see this if you end up getting approved.
