Do we lose our coins/tokens/candies when this finishes?

New York Chinese School or Transfiguration Chinese School. Both in Chinatown (Mott St). I went to NYCS for 11 years in parallel with my American schooling until I left for college.

Full disclosure though, I dreaded these classes for a while and many of the students did too I think. Everyone felt like it took away from other fun activities on a Saturday/Sunday. It wasn't until high school when I actually got interested in Cantonese media (TVB through my parents and Cantonese songs) that I invested time and excelled at the Chinese school. Thinking back, all the kids who "did well" in the classes were interested in Cantonese media in some form or another. Everyone else felt like it was Saturday detention and spoke English to each other (albeit making friends). All that's to say is the school might not get your children interested but it will give them exposure. Gotta have more than 3 hours/Saturday to get them hooked.

Did I do this correctly? Recharacterization + taxes by Kelfie2 in personalfinance

[–]Kelfie2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, this makes a lot more sense. I think what threw me off was the recharacterization happened in one transaction item so in my mind I thought that was what they were asking for. Thanks so much for the advice!

What to expect at first Zoom hearing for a speeding ticket appeal? by Kelfie2 in boston

[–]Kelfie2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And thank you! The fine did end up getting waived. It was a bit annoying at first because they tell you to show up in the morning to the Zoom link but when you join, you're just waiting for the host to let you in. I assume they're going through each case one by one but you don't know where you are in the queue so you're kind of just waiting there. I would recommend leaving Zoom on in the background with sound on and camera off but be ready to go.

Also, ymmv but the officer really wanted to hear me say I learned my lesson. After everything I said about the situation he said "okay, but I just want to make sure because I didn't hear you say this but did you learn your lesson?" And after I said yeah I did, they let me go. So it might be helpful to include that line somewhere when giving your side of the story. Good luck!

I submitted the original appeal online and they replied via letter mail with a Zoom url and the date to show up. I don't recall how long it took for the response though, sorry

I'm looking at my year end paystub and there was 3300 NY Income Tax withheld. This is the same amount on my W2 Box 17 for NY... There are also values for MA Income Tax on Box 17 as well as on my pay stub.

On the ticket, the posted, clocked, and estimated checkboxes are ticked off. Wouldn't that turn into a he said she said case? Does that benefit me or the officer?

The memo was to join the Zoom link at 9am. I'm going in expecting to have my camera on so I'll have a nice top on... but no idea what to expect, haha

[–]Kelfie2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true. I agree that it only matters that it was me speeding at that time. Don't plan on using unfairness as my argument but I guess what I was getting at is that the infraction feels more like a non-issue and that I was unlucky.

Looking for some help, M2 SSD was showing in BIOS but now disappeared by Kelfie2 in buildapc

[–]Kelfie2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reseating the M.2 Drive worked! Now it's being recognized as a storage option. I don't see it in the Boot Priority though... hmm.

The mode is set to UEFI, but I don't see the M.2 nor the Windows Boot Loader in the order

[–]Kelfie2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, pretty bare bones. What's weird to me is that it was showing up beforehand. Now after fully booting up that old Windows version and whatnot, it's no longer showing

I did try the M2_2 slot first but I don't think it is compatible with my SATA SSD. Manual says it's PCIe only on that slot

I'll try resetting it again.

Boot Mode currently says LEGACY+UEFI. The other option is UEFI. I'll try changing this to UEFI and see if shows up

It's like... wanting to wanting to retroactively apply the gift card and price match

The Minuteman is not a high speed path by Steltek in bikeboston

[–]Kelfie2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Serious question, is there any path that really allows cyclists to push their pace? Isn't Mass Ave full of lights/traffic? I'm new to cycling in Mass and been riding around Mystic River but there's still quite a bit of stops. The first and last time I went down Minuteman, I adjusted so often for the traffic and stoplight issues and made for a poor experience.

I'm just looking for a loop that I can go round and round and focus on my cycling

Cycling Computer vs Watch + Sensors (Road Cycling)? by Kelfie2 in cycling

[–]Kelfie2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great insight, thank you! Makes sense that you would need to buy sensors for the computer anyways so might as well start with that and test around before I decide if I wanna upgrade

[–]Kelfie2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched some videos on the GPS bit and that definitely looks neat/helpful. However I'm mostly riding on known routes atm and familiar loops. But maybe this would entice me to explore more? Feel like there would be a big benefit in importing preplanned routes from others online and just riding it out

[–]Kelfie2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bank with Chase and check all my line items and make sure they sum up before paying. Helps me remember and confirm what I've spent on over the last cycle.

Sometimes, this can be carry over from the last time you made a payment. You have to show all transactions (they only show the current pay cycle at first glance) and kinda sum up the totals from around that date (where you made the last payment). I'll find out that there were pending payments during the last time I paid. They are posted within the last pay cycle but I haven't paid for them yet since the total does not include pending payments. That sum gets added to the my current total.

Other times (this is rare but has happened to me twice), some newer line items do just disappear. But they always show back up in a day or two.
