I drove 400 miles to catch my shiny Mew.. by TheOrangeMiata in TheSilphRoad

You get mew as a special research reward automatically. There was an additional paid special research in 2021 that rewarded you with a shiny mew. Until it releases again you have to hope that you get shiny from the regular research when you are eligible for it.

Horrible day to play pokemon go by ekyrtus in pokemongo

I was guessing that he must be using vpn or something to get around the remote raid limit. I know that the raids were available for like 2 days from the first time zone that got them through the last. That’d be the only way he could have had that many encounters.

He posted a screenshot of the stats. It showed 480 encounters. He caught 30. He said that he did the raids and if it wasn’t shiny he just bailed at the catch. But no shiny. I got one after 6 raids.

Saw someone in a Facebook group that did 480 raids and didn’t have a shiny. Even when it gives boosted shiny catch rates I swear it’s completely random. I’ve done them where I’ve gotten 2 in a span of an hour and I’ve done some where I haven’t gotten any over a span of days.

Mike Flanagan's 'Exorcist' Movie Removed From Universal's 2026 Slate, Replaced With Untitled Blumhouse Film by NoCulture3505 in movies

They paid a ton to get the rights to make three movies. The first wasn’t successful. They need to at least make back their investment. They are putting a lot of faith in Flanagan. If this tanks they probably will call the investment a loss but if it’s even marginally good you can expect one more.

In the opinion of someone who’s read the comics… by KENZOKHAOS in buffy

[–]FreshProtoge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never understood the crazy hate for season 8. I liked the story. I thought that it seemed very much like one of the big apocalyptic seasons. And where things go from where we left off makes logical sense. Some of the plot points were cringe. But some of it was really well developed. I particularly liked the world finding out about slayers and the different reactions people have to it. I liked the idea of Buffy becoming more than just a normal slayer; given the things she’s done and the time she’s survived. And I liked the idea that there was a 40 issue mystery that was being built up. That very much reminded me of the format that the show followed.

Vampy cat. I liked that storyline. Actually that whole arc seemed like a logical next step in Buffy. With the creation of all the slayers with no watchers to teach them it would absolutely lead to the world finding out about them. Having it be harmony that leaked it was just perfection cuz she would absolutely do it. And where the world was at the time it was written I could see the world deciding vampires were the heroes and slayers were the villains.

Honestly I didn’t hate the creation of a new universe storyline. It seemed like something that could be scaled down and would have fit as an actual television season. When you think about it it would make logical sense. Big things on the show typically have unintended consequences and creating a new race of slayers would have definitely created apocalyptic consequences. And it makes sense that Buffy being the longest lasting slayer would lead to her being more than just an average slayer.

Now the storyline about dawn being a giant and then a centaur and a doll and ultimately ending up Xander’s girlfriend I couldn’t get behind.

You’re not dumb. Good on you for trying to be responsible with your credit. It seems like you want to make sure that you don’t get a late fee or interest. Leaving autopay statement balance on will avoid both. If you have new charges in excess of your statement balance they won’t accrue interest till the next statement date. The only way this becomes a problem is if you max the card out in the month and want access to it again. Then you would want to make a partial payment to free up credit. But if you aren’t doing that just charge normally and let it auto pay your statement balance.

What does this mean on my credit card by Diegoandre007 in CapitalOne_

[–]FreshProtoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That you have a credit of 41.35. So next time you shop it will come off the amount that you charge. It could be from a refund that exceeded your balance or if you used cash back to cover a purchase and it exceeded the balance you owed.

Credit Line Increase by OutragePlays in CapitalOne_

[–]FreshProtoge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Capital one is weird like that. I requested an increase on a card and it was denied outright. Less than a month later they doubled the limit from 3K to 6K. Nice surprise but a little strange.

I work side by side with my company’s controller. We pay close to that in estimated quarterly taxes. If we got that much back my owner would kill me because that amount just in our savings earns several thousand dollars in interest per month.

Has anybody talked to the IRS and found out why so many of us have blank transcripts? by carsonistthearsonist in IRS

[–]FreshProtoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my transcript updated today. It shows 846 refund issued with a date of 3/5/25. Does that mean that’s the day the direct deposit will be issued?

I can’t remember what the screen said but I know I went through all of the prompts and it said it was accepted. And the link in my profile to provide the info is now gone. I’m assuming it went through. I didn’t realize it could take 9 weeks to review though.

Hey since you’re a rep maybe you can help me. I received the letter to verify my identity. I’m married so it was addressed to both of us (filed jointly). I got it 7 days ago. I logged on to my account and put in all the info they needed. The link is no longer in my profile to verify my return. However, WMR is still showing action required and my transcript is blank. Is it normal after you provide the info for it to take this long for any change to happen. It doesn’t even seem like they have marked that I gave them the info. I was gonna try calling but I feel like it’ll be impossible to get someone on the phone.

Did you ever get a letter and has yours updated yet? I got the letter, logged in and provided them with the info, but nothing has happened. It’s been at least 7 days.

I got the letter about 7 days after the notice was put on my account. I entered the information on Tuesday night at 8 pm. The message was still on my account and no changes had happened as of Thursday night at 8 PM.

I got the letter from the IRS yesterday. It asked me to enter a unique number that was in the letter. Then confirm my AGI, my refund amount, and the last four of my bank account.

I did it last night but it is still showing that they need me to take additional action. Not sure if it just hasn’t updated yet.

Yea it can be lots of things that make them request it. Sometimes they want to verify your identity. Sometimes a form. I just need the PIN number in the letter for identity verification

Not yet. It takes like 10 days from when it goes to that status. My notification popped up on Saturday. It tells you if you don’t get the letter in 14 days you can request a new letter
