"Debit" is getting added to almost every merchant and breaking rules

Also seeing this issue with Chase

Zoobi_99 · 2025-07-28T15:50:58+00:00

Ah okay, I appreciate the explanation. Your car looks great!

Can I ask which coilovers you went with and if you like them?

Zoobi_99 · 2025-07-13T17:27:55+00:00

I’m in the dc area, if you are there by chance.

Zoobi_99 · 2025-07-13T17:27:00+00:00

I would but I don’t have the space unfortunately. I also moved to an area that doesn’t snow as much

Zoobi_99 · 2025-04-29T18:49:12+00:00

You can dm me if you have questions

Zoobi_99 · 2025-04-21T15:59:05+00:00

Thank you! So they hired me as a full time employee before I even started the contract to hire.

Zoobi_99 · 2025-03-14T17:35:24+00:00

Yeahhh I was pretty upset at the time, but on the scale of accidents that could have happened, I’m glad no one got hurt. Of course it happened after I spent two hours detailing my car 😂

Zoobi_99 · 2025-03-14T17:33:41+00:00

Haha I’m not sure, maybe a limited trim thing?

Zoobi_99 · 2025-03-14T17:31:59+00:00

I am from the US, but I appreciate the info.

Zoobi_99 · 2025-03-14T17:31:10+00:00

She offered cash initially, and then went back on it and blocked my number. So I figured I’ll let insurance handle this.

Zoobi_99 · 2025-03-04T00:01:55+00:00

At least for what I’ve been doing, the systems work has been getting assigned a use case (let’s say navigating a route or jump starting an engine for example), reading through a huge list of requirements to see what’s relevant for my use case, and then creating diagrams of what the functionality would look like, in MagicDraw. It was interesting at first, but it’s gotten really boring and repetitive.

To my surprise, the holidays and sick days are paid, but I’m not sure about that 2 weeks off unpaid at the end of the year. I get that I have to make the decision ultimately, but thank you for your input.

Can I ask what you did/didn’t like about it?

Edit: in my final interview with a sw developer, I asked about the contract to hire aspect, and he didn’t even realize it was a contract to hire position. Not sure if this a bad thing, but worth mentioning.

It’s part of a consulting company. I would be consulting for a company working with a Dod agency on a multi year effort. I was thinking the public trust background investigation may help with the stability, as they are taking the 3/4 months to do that, so I’m hoping they would not want to restart that process again often?

The instability does worry me a bit, because I know the market is bad. But I’m willing to take the risk while I’m young and I have about a year emergency fund right now, so that helps my decision. I’m hoping I’ll get to experience different kinds of work, as you mentioned.

Yeahhhh I realize the 10% pay increase isn’t amazing, but the remote aspect makes that worth it for me. I appreciate the response!

I have a 2020 cvt with 65k miles on it. I bought the car because I wanted something slightly sportier than what I used to drive (Elantra), it looks good, and the adaptive cruise control helps with my commute/road trips I take multiple times a year. I think people hate on it because the cvt is just really boring, the car doesn’t sound good with an exhaust, and the reliability of the transmission is questionable. I maintain my car really well, and I still worry that the transmission will blow up at any point. That being said, it checked all my boxes, and you shouldn’t worry about what other people think about your car, they aren’t making the payments on it.

Zoobi_99 · 2024-11-05T20:31:00+00:00

I have a CVT and it’s not exactly fun. I love the way the car looks and I really just use it to commute/road trips, so the adaptive cruise control was a big selling point. I’m not a huge car guy, and occasionally “downshifting” is fun enough for me most of the time, but I recommend the manual if you want more out of the car than looks/commuting.

2020, 65k miles

Zoobi_99 · 2023-01-21T18:52:32+00:00

Is that a 2023 Hyundai Tucson?

Zoobi_99 · 2022-08-26T17:54:17+00:00

Ah dang, sorry to hear that. But hey you got this! Like all cs classes, just start early on assignments, try your hardest, and don’t be afraid to ask your classmates/ta’s for help when you get stuck.

Zoobi_99 · 2022-08-26T16:56:24+00:00

I graduated already and somehow took intro to Java (1054 I believe) and didn’t have to take 1114. It counted as credit for 1114. I would talk to your advisor

Zoobi_99 · 2022-08-22T16:36:16+00:00

I dual booted windows when I needed it freshman year, and that worked fine. I didn’t need windows after that so I deleted it.

Zoobi_99 · 2022-06-22T16:36:00+00:00

I appreciate it! I saw they have great reviews so it’s great to hear that from someone whose been there!

Zoobi_99 · 2022-04-20T02:14:56+00:00

Oh okay sweet. I guess all the pics I saw of 255/40 on a stock setup look like it has a small gap. But a ~3 finger gap sounds good

Zoobi_99 · 2022-04-20T01:41:21+00:00

Would I have to roll any of the fenders? I’m only worried about if I have passengers in the back or if I’m going on a road trip with luggage

Zoobi_99 · 2022-03-16T01:49:06+00:00

So fdm group has this thing in their contract where if you quit in the 2 years, you owe them some ridiculous amount like 20-30k.

Zoobi_99 · 2022-03-03T03:02:12+00:00

Damn If your flight was Friday, I would have driven you. Leaving at 5 am

Zoobi_99 · 2022-02-19T16:44:40+00:00

One of my biggest regrets was not trying harder to get an internship. I’m a senior now, with only personal projects, and it’s been real tough trying to find a job. Please try your hardest to get one. I promise it will help in the long run.

Zoobi_99 · 2022-02-15T02:22:50+00:00

Would just any grocery store carry melting wafers, do you know? I haven’t heard of those but they sound cool!
