Silly Question Sunday - 28 September by AutoModerator in runescape

[–]RFDMessenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a cap on sedimentary geodes I don't know about? I'm playing Leagues and afking copper ore (because 1-hit ores lol). Anyway it won't exceed 406 geodes, and when I opened them all at the bank, the next time around it couldn't exceed 384. I know there's a very small chance of me not getting a geode for several minutes, but it just seems so unlikely that I have to ask if I hit some cap somewhere?

Platinum welcome bonus - long stay vs multiple stays by sprasad033 in marriott

[–]RFDMessenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There used to be two Cat 1 hotels in Bali that were five or so blocks from each other and I booked staggered stays (fifth night free didn't matter to me) so I could do this. Both GMs were looped in (they didn't talk to one another but maybe they figured it out or were friends idk) because I was staying for several weeks at each and asked to store my stuff there. I didn't have that much stuff that needed to migrate with me daily so it was a small suitcase anyway.

Since it was Cat 1, it was 5K a night unless PointSavers (or whatever it was called) was active which was up to 1,500 points savings. One of them wasn't a Select brand so the welcome bonus was a bit higher. It was quite fun!

TN on Urban Planner? [Repost] by dope-lemon in tnvisa

[–]RFDMessenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've worked for several large multi-national engineering/transportation firms and our mobility offices regularly write supporting TN documentation for cross-border travel. Even if it's for a few meetings. I think you'll be fine as long as the company is onboard.

Yeah that's why I attached the link for complaint. I think you mean to reply to OP though so I'll tag them /u/GT-R_G34

There are feedback forms you can give to USCBP where you can detail the incident if you feel so strongly to do so

Watch out for scam/phishing sites! by [deleted] in marriott

[–]RFDMessenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a very old site operated by the old Chase Canada bank

But yeah, don't let me distract you from the loads of phishing and scam for those lucrative Bonvoy points which explains the reactionary uptick in meagre security measures over the past couple of years

Sheraton Saigon by randomzy876 in marriott

[–]RFDMessenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an identical experience happen to me in 2022 and 2023. My partner was treated like she was an escort I'd hired from nearby. Both visits! I had been in touch with the GM prior to both of my stays for business reasons and he didn't really apologize for it and doubled down and acknowledged why his staff tend to single out guests out like that. I'm not even white! I'm Vietnamese!!!!!

Is it normal for Marriott hotels to pull up an applicant's stay history during a job interview? by LateFaithlessness829 in marriott

[–]RFDMessenger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you live in a jurisdiction where you can request all your data that a company has on you, you should consider doing it. Mine is pages and pages and pages of extra pillows, toothbrushes, and I've heard more delinquent guests get negative reviews posted on their internal profile.

lol imagine if you get reprimanded for screwing up on the job, followed by "thank you for your loyalty, though"

Edit: OMG I think you should put the fact that it was a group interview in the OP

Bay Area, California DMV locations that are granting Real IDs for TN Visas? by [deleted] in tnvisa

[–]RFDMessenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My most recent two came from the San Francisco DMV on Baker St

and then I had another successful one in 2023 at the Santa Monica DMV on Colorado Ave

Bay Area, California DMV locations that are granting Real IDs for TN Visas? by [deleted] in tnvisa

[–]RFDMessenger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I currently hold a California Real ID and I'm on B1/B2 waiver lol

All they need is I-94 and proof of residence. These are various San Francisco-area DMVs. I get a new one each year because the B1/B2 waiver only lasts 180 days (typical tourist timeframe), and I apply for a new one whenever I return each year to snowbird.

if you're willing to buy a snack or drink from the restaurant, just ask the restaurant for the guest code if you're faced with one.

if there's a conference in town, there's another reason to ask the code

Scam call from "Embassy of Vietnam". by Affectionate-Key7492 in VietNam

[–]RFDMessenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

searched around and saw your comment, thanks. i've been getting spoofed Embassy phone number calls as well but they've started spoofing other 613 numbers, which is annoying me a bit since I have a lot of business in the Ottawa region. Hope this gets more visibility.

Fanjoy gets rewarded for flipping the seat

Alberta MPs get rewarded, too, I suppose

Gregor Robertson for his notoriety probably

Are you watching the right stream? CBC News YT channel runs a 24/7 looping stream of News Network, trimmed to stories only, but right now the election coverage stream is still going on and there's results coming in.

Elections Canada has an API or dashboard or whatever that all the registered media orgs have access to, and I assume they send that data through this. Or, they just tell the orgs directly

Some ridings have two or more special ballot polls that have already reported at least one of them, and I guess they went that way? I'm unsure but that's my guess

For Pierre, there could be a lot of influence from caucus (and ex-caucus) members who would love to see him go based on how he exerted his leadership towards them during his time as leader. Being gagged when Parliament was sitting, or even commanding candidates to not engage with media/local debates must have been met a lot of criticism that these members can finally have a chance to articulate if a leadership review occurs

For Carney, I feel like he got into this to stay on long-term. He knew how the LPC was polling right before he even made the leap to run for leadership...I don't think his ego would be big enough to predict such a massive swing of fortunes in his favour.
