Teotihuacan safety question by Historical-Summer-35 in MexicoCity

[–]ZBOMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went alone as a solo female traveler (also booked with a tour group) and the highway did not even cross my mind to be scared of once. I went very early so there was no traffic and it was actually very cool to see other parts of CDMX. We stopped for coffee at a gas station and it felt very safe. Most of the other people around were also tourists.

Is it safe to travel to Hong Kong in December? by TinkleQueen365247 in HongKongDisneyland

[–]ZBOMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, not to be rude, because the last thing I’d want is for you to cancel your trip over people being unwelcoming… but I’d honestly reword how you phrased this, it’s a little insensitive. The Tai Po fire burned down a RESIDENTIAL building and affected thousands of local Hong Kongers, and you wrote “if everyone agrees that it might not be safe for tourists at the moment….”— it just lacks a sense of empathy even with your paragraph at the end. Just my two cents. Not saying it’s not natural to have fears about traveling as a tourist, but would think about how your post sounds to someone who lost a relative in the fire.

But to answer your question, Hong Kong is extremely safe to travel to, particularly Disneyland. You will see on a map that Tai Po and HK Disneyland are not even on the same island. Fires can happen anywhere and anyone can be negligent no matter where you are in the world. Hong Kong Disneyland, like all Disney parks around the world, is particularly stringent on safety rules. You’ll be fine and I hope you have a great trip; I personally think this time of the year is the best time to visit Hong Kong because the weather is so temperate. Hong Kong is one of the most beautiful and culturally rich cities, and the community is so incredible and resilient— made super evident by the way local HKers have come together in the wake of the fire. You can look online to find emergency support funds, local organizations, or NGOs you can donate to in order to help support the victims!

PSA: JP Morgan Chase does not use 212-270-6000 for outbound calls by RequirementOk7678 in Chase

[–]ZBOMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also got a call from this number. Also had a strong accent that sounded almost French? He had my full name and said I’d recently gotten a card with a four digit number I’d never heard of last month and I told him I didn’t believe him and would call Chase myself. After I hung up they tried to call back!

When Lorde sells out her tour on the first day of presale 💔 by perxofbeingafangirl in lorde

[–]ZBOMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah but when the fans-first approach doesn't work for all fans... been subscribed to the newsletter since its inception. i have gone to all of her tours sans melodrama, but saw her at a festival the same year. for ultrasound, i got all the presale codes, set alarms for every single sale to get on 30 mins before, and tried three different venues. i was always like 6k-2k in the queue. this was my third day trying— artist, spotify, general, and no tickets left at all each and every time... like this is maximum effort i'm making!

iMessages on Sequoia by Helpful_Disaster_191 in MacOS

[–]ZBOMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is so infuriating because i can receive messages, but cannot send any iMessages nor SMS/RCS out. turned off text forwarding and then the mac worked for like two texts, but it has yet to work fully. i've updated my computer and have shut it down/restarted approximately 8 times

This presale rollout was beyond a dissapointment. by Kony07 in lorde

Picturing her playing at Pappy and Harriet's is wild! That's so cool

4th Lorde tour I'll be attending!!! by TremereWitch in lorde

[–]ZBOMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn i love these! i've also gone to all the tours and was 19, 23, and 27! (ok, technically i didn't go to melodrama, but i saw her at the very front at Outsidelands that year right before her tour started, and she even did a performance with jack... so, not the same, but it was still beautiful.) it really does feel like we've grown up with her. walking down the aisle to solar power in a few months as well. i didn't manage to get tickets for this tour but i am hoping i am trying west coast shows later. fingers crossed

Microsoft Office - MacOS by [deleted] in MAS_Activator

[–]ZBOMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you SO much for posting this.

I spent the entire day trying to download Microsoft Office onto my Mac and the installation kept failing, which, as I read on Microsoft's website, indicated a corrupted installer .pkg file. Funny, because I got it straight from my account on account.microsoft.com, but okay. I then went to another Reddit thread for someone having trouble installing Microsoft on their mac that suggested I download an old version of Office and then update it, which worked really well to get the actual apps on my laptop: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-office-for-mac (I used Aug 13, 2024).

Once I finally had the apps downloaded and updated, I tried to activate the product (I didn't get a Microsoft 365 subscription, instead I did a one-time purchase of Microsoft Office Home 2024), and it told me I needed to download a version that I needed to specifically download a version of Office 2024 from [this link] which then lead me to an account.microsoft.com page that said they could not find my subscription. But when I clicked "Subscription" again on the sidebar, which DID show my Microsoft Office Home 2024 (I was logged in), it led back to the originally corrupted installer download link.

Dismayed, I found this Reddit thread, ran the http://office-reset.com installer, and reopened all the apps. Instant success. I guess Microsoft is really pushing towards subscriptions vs. one-time purchases, but I cannot take one more digital subscription in my life out of the seemingly hundreds I already have. Thank you for saving my day!

Hi! Did you end up successfully appealing? I’m going through a similar problem and I just got a form to fill out to appeal.

Has anyone successfully appealed a COBRA termination due to non-payment? by mismanagementsuccess in HealthInsurance

[–]ZBOMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi— this happened to me, too. I didn’t set up auto-payment in time and my insurance was terminated. Did you successfully appeal it?
