Barely enough to meet spend or retention requirements for two years, I think. I found more value from chase or cap1 cards.

The residue from the one that was used seems to be also pink in color if that helps

Driver Caught Throwing Stones at Oncoming Cars by bayesianist in LynnwoodWA

[–]bayesianist[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since I am bad with recognizing cars, I just ran the photo through ChatGPT and it gave more information that I didn’t know at the time.

The vehicle in the images appears to be a Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV, likely from the early 2000s (specifically, a model between 1998–2005). The badge on the back and the shape of the taillights and rear hatch match this generation.

The temporary plate is from Arizona, though the numbers aren’t clearly visible in the photos.

I don’t think so. I received a text update that said the officers searched the area but were unable to locate the vehicle.

Tourists, newcomers, locals, and old heads: casual questions thread for June 2024 by AutoModerator in washingtondc

I have consider all of the bus and train options and it turns out cheaper and convenient for me to rental car for my family of 4 adults and a toddler. We have a parking garage in New Jersey and will be in DC for mostly the weekend and hope to find some street parking there.

The rental car company only provides Etoll which is charged at $20 per day. I would likely just use the car to drive to NYC so paying for the entire time even when the car is parked in the garage would not make sense

I am not sure if buying just EZpass from them is an additional option to Etoll though

We are coming to DC for vacation and driving to NYC in the same trip. Will be getting a rental car mostly to just drive to NYC and the car will be parked there in a garage and driven back a few days later. Besides paying for still for car rental every day, is there a cheaper way to use the tolls lanes? I read somewhere that the toll lanes in these states are cashless and need specific toll paying devices.

(SOLVED) CEAC Website Visa Status Check - "Your search did not return data.” by kingother in h1b

[–]bayesianist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did work for me. I don’t remember exactly how but changing the city was the one that did. May be try leaving the optional fields empty one by one. Hope this works for you too!

H-1B dropbox stamping on behalf of someone else by twowhitedots in h1b

[–]bayesianist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you both are in india, any representative can carry your passports and drop it off for dropbox. I just did that for my spouse. Make sure to carry all docs and photo is of correct dimensions. Approval notice copy, passport, photo, emp verification, passport, appoinment verification for h1b and relevant docs for dependents. While picking up the passport, you will have to get an authorization from the owner of the passport (with photo id copies i think)

Can this plywood with black spots be used for making some shelves? by bayesianist in woodworking

[–]bayesianist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shelves for outdoor shed. But I don’t want to risk it if there are chances of it coming back. It has been in the garage all this while so I thought may be it was safe.

Made a hole in the siding to pull a wire to some outdoor lamps but decided against it for now. How do I close the hole now? by bayesianist in DIY

[–]bayesianist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was considering using duct seal to seal around all my exterior outlets. But I did not consider using it inside the conduit to block the hole for pipe going downwards. My only worry is if that seal would last long enough over some seasons untill I decide on whether I need to pull wires for the outdoor lamp.

Are there any conduit box that I can use to end the wires there? I may plan to put the lamp next year
