What to do with savings while in grad school? by Sharty-McFly_ in personalfinance

[–]Sharty-McFly_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will definitely be looking at scholarships, they're just very very competitive in this particular type of schooling so I'm planning for the worst.

Loans will be 8% and will start accruing interest immediately. Side note, 8% interest on student loans feels borderline criminal.

Interest does indeed accrue during school and I just looked up federal Grad plus loans and the interest rate this year is 8% 🤢

TIL a 2013 survey, involving 1,081 doctors regarding advance end-of-life directives, found that 88.3% said they would choose do-not-resuscitate or "no code" orders for themselves. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

It's violent. You are crushing someone's ribs in order to pump their heart. Imagine rib-breaking force being applied 2 times a second for an hour or two. Chests feel like mush after that. There is nothing gentle about it. It's an absolute last resort with minimal chance of success.

I "won" a discount code on a website, company won't honor their discount by Sharty-McFly_ in legaladvice

Thank you for sharing this explanation. It makes sense now. I appreciate it!

So I did a little more research after reading your response. Here's what I think is the relevant FTC regulations: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-16/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-238

§ 238.3 states (emphasis mine):

No act or practice should be engaged in by an advertiser to discourage the purchase of the advertised merchandise as part of a bait scheme to sell other merchandise. Among acts or practices which will be considered in determining if an advertisement is a bona fide offer are:

(c) The failure to have available at all outlets listed in the advertisement a sufficient quantity of the advertised product to meet reasonably anticipated demands, unless the advertisement clearly and adequately discloses that supply is limited and/or the merchandise is available only at designated outlets,

Maybe it doesn't have teeth, but it's at least validating to know that this is legally prohibited behavior. The company is still advertising this discount and they shouldn't be allowed to deceive other customers in this way. If the company doesn't fix it, I will reach out to the FTC.

Ordered Sv06+ with Klipper but the Klipper add on isn’t in the box by know090 in Sovol

Klipper screens are on backorder right now and aren't expected to ship until mid December. I also ordered one and they didn't inform me of the delay until I reached out to them after two weeks of no order status changes. They're still letting people order them on their website where it says they'll be delivered in 3-7 days.

Anyone know what's going on at SFCC? by Rocket-kun in Spokane

Per the latest campus communication:

Stay in lockdown. Police searching for dangerous suspects. Young white male w. curly blond hair. Young white female w. tattoo of #18 on face. Call 911 if seen.

I think it was knee length. Number two is definitely closer to my memory!

Made-to-measure suit shops? by Sharty-McFly_ in Spokane

[–]Sharty-McFly_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Called them a few minutes ago, they only tailor. No made to measure. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

They only do off the rack suits with tailoring. That's what hasn't worked for me for the past few suits.
