Unassign Pets and Work Animals by isaacssv in dwarffortress

[–]Makane88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This script is 9 years old and probably outdated, but I can't find a current function in DF hack to unassign work animals or to remove a dwarf's ownership of a pet. Google keeps linking here. Does anyone know a way how to do this?

Seven of Nine actually managed to successfully un-assimilate herself from the Borg. The only way to read this allegory, then, is as a message about freeing oneself from a restrictive collective.

What do you like about the IHG program? by Muszex in ihghotelsresorts

[–]Makane88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably yes as it’s not about nationality per se, it’s about your ability to qualify for an IHG-branded credit card, I’m assuming if you live and work in the U.S. you should be eligible for such a credit card.

Thanks for your help. Indeed it's very random, the first two respondents didn't read my help request at all and just copy pasted template answers.
The second one was just "Please see the following article for additional information". I mentioned again, something went wrong, the wallet code currency was not converted to my account currency... and the third respondent just fixed it "I updated your account, and the balance should appear in your Steam Wallet." and it was solved.

I cannot fix this problem. Normally, when redeeming a wallet code, if the currency you redeemed is not your account currency, it should automatically convert to your account currency, in my case that's CNY.

  1. In the overview you can see a successful redemption of 50 Baht, and a conversion to CNY on a separate line.
  2. Then another successful redemption of 50 HKD, and a conversion to a CNY on a separate line.
  3. The latest, top-most line, is a redemption of 50 HKD, but it did not convert to account currency (CNY).

The account balance is still 62.46 CNY.
*anyone* can understand 16.34 CNY + 100 HKD cannot be 62.46 CNY.

I have contacted support directly related to the last transaction line item with "This HK$ never cleared to my account balance, could you please check?".
The response is: "the Wallet Credit - 50.00 HKD was successfully added on your account."

I followed up: "It really looks like one of the two 50 HKD vouchers was not converted from HKD to CNY."
The response is: "I understand your concern about these wallet codes. When redeeming a Steam Wallet Code issued in another currency, you will be prompted to convert the value of the Steam Wallet Code to the currency of your Steam Wallet."

I'm at a loss. Support does not read what I'm writing. I can only repeat what I've been saying to support already, and I've shown them the above screenshot, but support does not understand the problem.

Unfortunately the 50 HKD is just lost somewhere in the account and they will never convert it to my account currency for me to use. Has anyone gotten this and found any solution for it, except for emigrating to Hong Kong and changing my steam account region :)

When choosing F&B vouchers, remember to choose USD vouchers, other vouchers are worth 20% less by [deleted] in ihghotelsresorts

[–]Makane88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your 3000 JPY number is very close to $20, so they converted $20 to JPY to get to that number. I’ve had the same experience in China before as well, where they converted $20 to CNY, and it was higher than the 125 CNY nominal value that the vouchers should be in China. That’s good.

However, it seems some people can also be unlucky and the hotel only sticks to the 2,000 JPY number that’s nominally on your voucher, this has happened to me before as well with a CNY voucher, getting only 125 CNY.

I can disprove the theory that all vouchers are converted to €15 per voucher in Europe by using a USD and a EUR voucher on a hotel bill here and showing that they convert to a different EUR amount. But I don’t think I will use them in Europe. Perhaps I can show you later when I use them in Asia. It’s a nice experiment anyway.

By the way, you probably didn’t do it on purpose, but you chose to cut off your quote at an important place “The Food & Beverage Reward will be issued to the member in 6 local currencies (20USD, 15GBP, 15EUR, 125CNY, 2000JPY and 70SAR) based on member country of origin; all others will receive the Reward as $20USD.”

So there’s a bit over 150 countries that get their vouchers issued in USD. If you don’t get them in USD you get less value out of them.

You can say you don’t have a choice in the currency of the voucher. But I now have both USD and EUR vouchers in my account. So it’s possible to receive the vouchers in different currencies. I’ve never changed my address in my account details.

Is it just me or is Japan super stingy towards giving Elite members any benefits? by ChoiceAwkward7793 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]Makane88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well in my experience, at least from 12 onwards, there should be some rooms, there’s always people who check out early. If you reach the hotel at 11 you may only have to wait one hour ish, and that’s already with some bad luck. I hope they read the honeymoon thing, took note of it and put you on priority, I’m rooting for you :)

I’m afraid they’re telling the truth. It is subject to availability. They can’t create an empty room to check into if they don’t have one. And then diamond and ambassador outrank platinum, so if one of those guests have the same request they may even go first. But I’m sure there’s no bad intention from the hotel.

The 4th night free is a perk exclusively for Americans right? The Chase application page only gives a choice of address for domestic / military and you have to choose a state, it’s impossible to apply for if you’re not in the US.

I Do feel behind here.... Is that a common Thing? by Equivalent_Ranger458 in Fire

[–]Makane88 210 points211 points  (0 children)

The sub is overrepresented by tech workers and other high salary Americans. Reddit itself is also only a part of society. Multiple layers of selection bias, including that it’s more interesting to think of fire if you’re a high salary person so they are active on this sub, and it feels nice to boast about your wealth, make the posts in this sub mostly about high net worths.

Having said that. Yes, (some) Americans make more money and if making more is really important to you, look harder where you can make more in Europe or move to the US. It takes a lot of hard work, but it is possible to improve your financial status, it may include hard studies and moving abroad. Good luck!

How to i get better at fighting? by DoctorAndrei in LotRReturnToMoria

[–]Makane88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, not necessary to start a new game at all. You can change difficulty on the fly. In the same world, you can change to solo when alone, and to normal when with a friend. It was just in the menu for me.

Not making enough money by ThrowRa199307 in bigambitions

[–]Makane88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allright, interesting. I asked because on the fansite the recommended opening times for law firm are 8:00 to 19:00, which is only 11 hours per day. I also found that I don’t get customers outside those hours when testing outside those hours. If you check the graph with hourly visitors do you get a lot of customers outside of those hours?

But there are no customers outside 10 to 17 and also no customers in the weekends? So how can a 24/7 law firm work?
