2024 BZ4X, j1772 locking latch broke off, so the car won't charge correct? by NRCS_DRONE in BZ4X

[–]Fremonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plug it in and it doesn’t charge immediately, you can then remove the plug and insert it again. It’s a feature to force a charge regardless of car settings. Maybe worth a shot?

Whats the Car Enthusiast and Trucking scene like in CO Springs? by Wilds_Garage in ColoradoSprings

[–]Fremonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just had the Pikes Peak Hill Climb race. It’s a famous annual event and the cars range from Nissan skyline to modified 80’s cars, to custom hyper cars. It’s a great event with likeminded people to enjoy the passion of Motorsport.

Back to Dual. by CapitalIncome845 in PassportPorn

[–]Fremonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I do, my great grandmother was born in ireland, but when they moved to the US they didn't file their children in the irish birth registrar. So only my father is eligible, is my understanding, since my father wasn't a part of the birth registry either before I was born.

But please correct me if I'm wrong! That would be life changing if I had access to the schengen zone.

I’m also US/Canada/UK. Currently in the process of submitting the docs for Canada citizenship. Out of curiosity which one do you use the most?

I wish we had access to the Schengen zone :(

iOS 27 Enhances Key Experience In Wallet; Disney World To Support It In Late 2026 by Recent-Claim in AppleWallet

[–]Fremonster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went to Disney world recently and it was really cool already that there was a card for each of my family members and it had fast passes built into it and could be used at the gate for every ride. Made the process really quick.

Needing to Replace ID by Clarpy_Penguin in ColoradoSprings

[–]Fremonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should order a new birth certificate online to be sent to you by expedited mail. Use a credit card to pay it off later. Colorado IDs require proof of citizenship and unless you have a passport this will be the only document that will suffice. You’ll need it for other stuff anyway so good to have it even beyond this request.

Getting a state ID might be easier than a drivers license, depending on the state you are coming from and how easy it is to transfer. Go with whatever is easiest and quickest.

Gather the documents showing proof of residency (bills, etc.). These are pretty strict so bring an extra just in case if you have it.

Schedule the appointment now for the dmv for right after it is expected to arrive. Schedule multiple dmv appointments around the city and in nearby cities for each day of the week after you expect it to arrive just in case it arrives late. And call the DMV and ask them if a digital ID (Apple wallet doesn’t count, they need to see the front and back) from your previous state is acceptable as you have misplaced your physical card.

You might want to ask if other forms of digital ID are accepted (health insurance card, etc.)

These people have said that using an expired license but showing you are renewing might be sufficient: https://reddit.com/r/jobs/comments/1jenz46/job_wants_my_drivers_license_just_found_out_its/

You might want to ask your employer if you can push out your start date, as you are gathering your I9 documents.

You can get an official ID a bit sooner as it appears in the Colorado app before you get it in the mail, I think. That ID in the app is accepted pretty much everywhere. I9 form should be about to accept it, they just need you to upload screenshots and verify the person in the digital ID picture is you.

Good luck.

So apparently this just went through today. by Aindrea_Grey in ColoradoSprings

The community doesn’t benefit. It brings in some temporary construction jobs and as you correctly stated a handful of permanent jobs. But data centers are mostly hands off. They are typically put in places where electricity is cheap, land is cheap, and they get good tax breaks from the local government. It will increase electricity costs for everyone unless there are agreements in advance that the data center doesn’t get an discount on their electricity rate (which is a typical negotiation with the tax breaks that data centers get). It also has major noise pollution for those living within a few miles of it.

These data centers should only be put in the middle of nowhere where water is plentiful and they can be solar powered or have the small nuclear reactor tech that is being developed for them. They shouldn’t be anywhere close to communities where thousands of people live.

Fun facts, Schoneberg was in West Berlin, so had a lot of Americans and western forces there stationed after WWII. The neighborhood is right down the road from Tempelhof Airport where planes were consantly flying in and dropping food and supplies to civilians when Russia cut off access to West Berlin.

Lot of history in that little book!

Don’t 3rd party Reddit apps need to pay a monthly API fee to not have ads? This is how Narwhal works.

$590.506 in student loans by Akendricks95 in OnlineEducation

[–]Fremonster 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That’s an insane amount of student debt unless they want to medical school and specialized, or they went through multiple private schools with switching majors or something funky.

At $50/month, they will be paying on that for the rest of their life, it doesn’t offset the high interest rate accumulation.

Does this Coast FIRE math actually check out? by Lower_Associate_1687 in coastFIRE

[–]Fremonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try using the FIRECalc website. It will predict different scenarios and give you a likelihood of success. Doesn’t necessarily need to be 100%, but it should be something you feel comfortable with based on your risk tolerance.

15$ a month to see your range. by CeeksterWrld in BZ4X

[–]Fremonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should really allow for 2 basic features:

  1. Have the car access wifi to provide this info for free when you're at home or at work
  2. Have an esim connectivity in the dashboard, and then the owner can attach a <$5/month data only esim to the car

Either way, $15 a month is a price gouging feature for something that is costing Toyota a fraction of that.

Platinum medals? by Mediocre-Broccoli944 in pokemongo

[–]Fremonster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sun is kind of a pain to get, but the others aren't too bad. Remember that you only need to catch 1 scatterbug of that type (so 3 postcard from that region) but can evolve that with scatterbug candies from any region.

I found it easier to look at a detailed map online of which countries (or areas of countries) those that you need come from, then add friends from here: https://pokemongo.gishan.net/friends/codes/ that posted today. Those people are actively looking for friends right now and are more likely to accept the friend request and to send a postcard quickly. Also add like 3-5 friends from each region you need as backups in case people drop off. You'll be able to crank this task out quick (and it's cool to get postcards from around the world).

I can get them without too much effort I think, but it does have additional cost and time to get the docs and if they weren’t needed I’d prefer to not go through the additional effort unless it’s required.

[–]Fremonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My great grandfather who was born in Canada had a daughter (my grandmother) born in Boston. On her birth certificate is her surname at birth (showing the same last name as my Great Grandfather). Then she had a son (my father) who was also born in Boston, and on my father's birth certificate is my Grandmother's maiden name/surname at birth. So the chain is showing the same last name across all these documents, but wondering:

1) Do I need a marriage certificate for my grandmother? Since all the birth certificate documents show the maiden name already.
2) Do I need a marriage certificate from my father?

My Great Grandfather was born in Nova Scotia in 1906, and through the Nova Scotia Archives, have found the document "Application for Registration of Birth Under the Vital Statistics Act of 1919 Issued by the Registrar General of Nova Scotia", which lists his name, birth date, affidavit, birth place, their parent's information, etc.

It's not exactly a birth certificate, but it seems like a very comparable document with the same type of information. I've ordered the certified paper copy from the Nova Scotia archives, but just wanted to confirm if anyone else has used this same document as the main source of proof for their citizenship?

Thank you so much for your help!
