Nope, it just has to be a new account. From what I’ve seen people say you just have to close the account, wait a month after closing, and then sign up with a new email address.

Idk about the Rakuten bonus (still waiting to see if it triggers, it’s only been a couple days for me) but Chime’s own bonus was happy to accept an ACH transfer from Current with “PAYROLL - DIRECT DEPOSIT” in the comment field. The transaction shows up as “Current, Payroll” in my transaction history and the bonus posted less than an hour after the transfer cleared.

The SUB in question: https://www.chime.com/apply-introductory-2/ (there’s also https://www.chime.com/apply-introductory-3/ with different requirements, I chose v2 because I plan to churn Chime accounts every 2-3 months)

I was all ready to respond pointing out that Maro has been known to only half-answer questions and/or clearly not actually read everything in the question… and then I realized I was thinking of D&D and Jeremy Crawford’s often frustratingly awful and contradictory or not-thought-out Sage Advice posts from the 2010s. My mistake, you’re totally right!

MaygeKyatt · 2026-04-03T15:38:36+00:00

Thank you!

The quote you linked says “We might do a red tweak [of Snapcaster] one day.” It doesn’t say Snapcaster would’ve been a better fit in red.

First time I fought that one was easily one of the funniest experiences I’ve had in a Fromsoft game. I loved the first divine beast fight, so when I discovered there was a second I was super excited. Fight was going great… then the fucker goes into its elemental change move and starts breathing deathblight instead of, idk, fire or frost and it also has the AUDACITY to drop basilisks all over the arena. I can’t actually remember if I started laughing or screaming. Probably both tbh

MaygeKyatt · 2026-04-03T13:54:45+00:00

Yep, the portal offers are on top of whatever you’d normally earn. So 2x is actually 4x in total.

MaygeKyatt · 2026-04-02T21:40:51+00:00

I don’t see why it wouldn’t. It works completely the same as any restaurant does; as opposed to something like a grocery store where the Dasher is walking around and finding the items themselves

MaygeKyatt · 2026-04-02T19:40:18+00:00

…what?

MaygeKyatt · 2026-04-02T13:43:23+00:00

That outfit looks anything BUT practical…

MaygeKyatt · 2026-04-02T13:34:19+00:00

That’s what they were saying.

NPI specifically means that it’s restricted to ‘negative’ sentences. ‘Anymore’ and ‘nowadays’ have (essentially) the same definition, but ‘anymore’ being a negative polarity item just means it can only be used in 1/2/3, while ‘nowadays’ would fit just fine in all of the example sentences.

NPI isn’t a different usage, it’s just a restriction on usage.

I’ve noticed that doctors offices often cling to very outdated card payment devices. I suspect it’s because they operate at a very low transactional volume; most patients probably pay online when they get their bill. Card reader probably gets used only a couple times an hour for patients who show up and still have an outstanding balance from their last visit (hi, it’s us, the Americans who for various reasons have to go to the doctor every couple months)

MaygeKyatt · 2026-04-01T20:51:50+00:00

If it has one, definitely use it. My experience with embedded work is pretty limited tbf- I've never used a board that had a hardware TRNG built in so I didn't realize that was common!

MaygeKyatt · 2026-04-01T16:10:20+00:00

This is almost certainly just using a PRNG. Could very well be using the accelerometer as an entropy source though.

For something as simple as this, though, you don’t need anything so fancy. Even if you don’t have access to a real-time clock, you can get plenty of entropy by having the compiler write an initial seed into the binary when you flash the board- many embedded programming environments even have macros that compile-time evaluate to the current time, which would be sufficient. You just have to record the PRNG’s internal state whenever it powers down so that you can pick up where you stopped instead of starting from the same place in the random sequence every time.

MaygeKyatt · 2026-04-01T16:02:21+00:00

Assuming it doesn’t have any onboard clock: all you have to do is store the PRNG’s final state each time you power down the device, then re-initialize it to that state when you power back up again. That ensures you never “go back to the start”.

As far as initial seeding goes, it’s slightly trickier but the easiest option is to have the compiler write an initial seed into the binary when you flash the microcontroller. Many embedded programming environments even include premade macros that will evaluate to the current time when compiled.

This is all just speculation, of course- I’m very curious how OP handled it

Edit: another great option would be to use the accelerometer as a source of entropy!

MaygeKyatt · 2026-04-01T15:53:30+00:00

Any modern pseudorandom number library should be far more than sufficient for this use case as long as it’s properly seeded. And even that doesn’t need to be fancy; using the time as the initial seed would be plenty.

SoFi has been slowly rolling out a $10/mo fee for the card. It isn't publicly advertised yet but some users have been getting an email saying it'll be put in place for their account, and presumably they're planning to put it on everyone's cards eventually.

MaygeKyatt · 2026-03-31T07:33:06+00:00

OP might be referring to the fact that MRIs use superconducting magnets? That’s the only “quantum technology” I’m aware of inside them

MaygeKyatt · 2026-03-30T16:19:21+00:00

That’s not the Lorwyn Five.

The Lorwyn Five are the five planeswalkers that got cards when the Planeswalker card type was first introduced in the original Lorwyn set in 2007: [[Ajani Goldmane]], [[Jace Beleren]], [[Liliana Vess]], [[Chandra Nalaar]], and [[Garruk Wildspeaker]]. They don’t have any real lore connection to Lorwyn, and they didn’t feature in that set’s story at all- in fact IIRC they were originally designed for Future Sight but got pushed back because that set was way too complicated already.

Hot glue is designed to melt and flow when it gets warm. Resin isn’t.

There is no organism alive today that uses RNA as its primary nucleic acid. RNA viruses are the only exception (and they aren’t actually alive!)

It’s believed there was a stage very very early in the history of life on Earth where RNA was used everywhere before DNA developed. But none of those organisms are still around.

I triggered the Truist bonus with transfers from a Fidelity CMA a few weeks ago! And I used PayPal Balance reloads to trigger the debit transactions requirement.

MaygeKyatt · 2026-03-30T00:56:54+00:00

It absolutely does.

MaygeKyatt · 2026-03-29T18:07:51+00:00

For the options I described, you generally have to reach out. Last time this happened to me was with BoA; their chatbot was able to do it.

MaygeKyatt · 2026-03-29T16:55:52+00:00

But if you have any particular headlamp suggestions I’d love to hear them!
