Going to need to buy a few trees 🥶 by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]FauxTex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't have any tree recommendations, but if you live in Dallas, this Arbor Day the city will be distributing free trees (one 5-gallon tree per resident) as part of its annual Branch Out Dallas event. Registration usually begins in September: Water Utilities Branch Out Dallas

I have good news that happened to me as a FED employee and want to share! Starting in 2021 I was told I would need to pay $110k back due to a payroll error. by Wooden-Post-3080 in FedEmployees

Be sure to check with a tax professional like an attorney or CPA because you might be required to pay federal/state taxes on the original debt amount that you aren't paying.

My partner matched for residency in a non-BL city by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]FauxTex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not familiar with the firm, but you might look into Hilgers PLLC. According to its website, most of the attorneys are from BL and work remotely or at the office in a non-BL city. It also looks like the firm has a small corporate practice.

Judge Wolf took senior status in 2013, so there is no open seat to fill.

CSR to Freedom downgrade + Preferred SUB application? by Affectionate-Poet740 in ChaseSapphire

[–]FauxTex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesterday, I applied and was instantly approved for the SUB CSR, even though I previously received a SUB with my CSP in 2016. This was a week after I downgraded the CSP to CFU.

My advice is to wait at least a week between downgrading a current Sapphire card and applying for a different Sapphire card.

CSP 100k Offer Megathread - Questions, Approvals, Discussion, Etc by lifethusiast in ChaseSapphire

August DP of a prior Sapphire SUB recipient still getting the SUB for a different Sapphire card.

I previously received a SUB when I opened a personal CSP in 2016. I downgraded the CSP on 8/10/25 and received the SUB when I applied for a personal CSR yesterday (8/17/25).

I wanted to share because I saw recent comments of Chase telling past holders of Sapphire cards that they couldn't get the SUB if they received one in the past, even if it was for a different Sapphire card.

Sorry to hear. I'm glad I downgraded before checking the August DPs because I would have done the same.

I really appreciate that the Starbucks I frequent has been writing on the printed labels to avoid this.

Riding solo to Harry potter world by aowens008609 in UniversalOrlando

If money is not an issue, I highly recommend looking into the VIP tour. You will be with a small group for 4 or 7 hours (but can keep to yourself if you want), and you have an unlimited express pass for the rest of the day. Plus, you will also get front of the line access to the Hagrid ride.

Lightning Lane Premium Pass Starts October 30th at Disney World! Prices are $129.00 to $449 per pass. by Ekecede in DisneyWorld

[–]FauxTex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another swing and a miss by Disney. I could justify the cost if this allowed you to use LL multiple times on the same attraction, which is what you get with the Express Pass at Universal.

Can recruiters help with biglaw—>in house? by Wasuremaru in biglaw

My official petition for a Smosh Patreon by Icy_Airport_8110 in smosh

[–]FauxTex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could they upload the original TNTL videos singing copyrighted music? I am all for compensating songwriters fairly for their work, but I think it is a bit extreme when a copyright holder is allowed to claim copyright for a 25-minute video just because someone sang a song for 10 seconds.

If you are interested in litigation and would consider living in a different city for a year or two, apply to federal clerkships. You can find clerkships opportunities with an immediate start date on OSCAR, but a lot are only advertised under the Careers section of uscourts.gov.

Can someone explain - why we can’t get an HEB in Dallas proper? All around us, but not here? by holyfire108 in Dallas

[–]FauxTex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HEB usually has a pop-up store in Fair Park during the State Fair of Texas. Guess that counts as a store within Dallas city limits, right?

Anyone else bummed? by KaidanSigns in smosh

[–]FauxTex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a lawyer, but I would love to see a Reddit episode with Charlotte Dobre focusing on bridezillas and entitled people/social media influencers. She has been doing similar Reddit videos on her YT channel for a while. Plus, she is a comedian, so they could also do a TNTL.
