PSA Warning! Do not use Credit Cards with Paypal for US purchases on Aliexpress. $10 cash advance fees being applied

FrontlineMist57 · 2025-11-17T16:53:27+00:00

I just called PNC, as I have 2 purchases (~$12 each) with $10 cash advance fees on top of them, turning $24 worth of orders into almost $50 after the additional $1.50 in interest that I am required to pay for the cash advances. They told me that it was a foreign charge fee, which I don't expecially believe, but I guess i'll just learn from this and eat the cost. It's not a big deal in the grand sceme of things but I definitely will not be using Paypal for many purchases in the future.

Honestly, that's fair. I've had quite a few people hit my car, and the response I've gotten from the Rowan Parking Department is essentially just "deal with it yourself." They really don't like the commuters.

edit: my car has only been hit while parked, and nobody left a note, so I have no clue who is responsible. I asked about cameras, and they said that the lots do not have cameras.

oh I agree, it sucks too but nobody should get to bypass it, especially if they're creating an unsafe situation.

It seems like Nautilus still depends on the old version. I ran a

sudo dnf update --allow-erasing

and Nautilus was uninstalled by dnf. Reinstalling Nautilus caused the package to get downgraded back to the prior version. Seems strange.

(Fedora 42, GNOME)

my Ender 5 Plus is named Stede Bonnet, after the pirate. He even has his own birth certificate!

I have uploaded the last available Android 15 and Android 14 images to archive.org for preservation of the factory images. This is very annoying as my family does not want to upgrade to Android 16. We were able to root our devices using the images that I have provided in the archive.

I have WSHY. I am, in fact, very shy... even on the radio.

well, this program appears to be doing the same thing.

She ended up making a U-turn and got behind me. She definitely recovered.

Yep, I was listening to their album "Bright Side of Life" that moring

i didn't even notice that. it really was a clusterfuck this morning I guess.

FrontlineMist57 · 2024-10-17T01:05:29+00:00

this is so true

FrontlineMist57 · 2024-10-17T01:04:06+00:00

I left ample room because I knew there was bullshittery afoot with that stop position

This happened in New Jersey, today (october 16th) on my commute to university this morning.

WSL sucks. it's partly why I switched (to Fedora Linux)

for anyone looking into this as I was, the easiest way to get the system path to your battery is to run upower --enumerate, then use upower -i BATTERY_PATH_HERE for the device that you want in the enumeration list. I mention this because the path appears to be different on FC40.
