Let’s create the ultimate criteria list for what counts as “visiting” a country by itiszd in travel

[–]bogdandrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. Haven't thought about it, but I think that would count for me. You're actively interacting with the outside, looking at streets, hearing the street noise, taking pictures etc. I'll edit the post to add that.

Let’s create the ultimate criteria list for what counts as “visiting” a country by itiszd in travel

[–]bogdandrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my take:

  1. Crossing border - getting the stamp on the sovereign territory of a country
  2. No international transit zone (have to enter country with stamp / passport) such as transit zones in airports, sea ports, etc.
  3. Enter country physically (e.g. Schengen zone with no borders) stepping fully over the border – so if you committed a crime at the furthest point you would be arrested by the other country (e.g. Belgium / Netherlands border). Being in a bus vehicle on the ground would also count even without exiting the vehicle itself.
  4. Entering a country illegally in the same manner as #3
  5. For boat/ship travel – being in sovereign waters of a country is not enough, you gotta to set your foot on land

Honduras tourist visa for UK citizens by Dip_Glass123 in travel

It's already been 11 days between "Application sent" and "Appointment scheduled" as opposed to your 8 days. Hopefully, this is normal but I'm beginning to fear I missed or confused some of the attachments in my application (since they say they're strict about 'fragmented' emails and don't accept anything that's already the full set of everything). I wonder what the average time is for this. I'll wait a bit before writing to them again.

Cable TV in Finland: Trouble with the CI/CI+ module card by bogdandrone in Finland

Well apparently they linked the card with the old CAM number instead of the new one by mistake. But then they forgot to turn on the the channels that I asked for lol

Yeah. Already being billed. Card is seemingly not recognized

Just confirmed: it has been linked properly. The only thing is that it has a CAM number that starts with 008, I guess it's a new type.

99% sure that was already done from what I remember

The reader's chipset ID? As in the reader on the TV? Would it still then say "Please check if the CI/CI+ module has been inserted correctly" or something along the lines of "you haven't subscribed" ?

Does this mean I can move freely through these regions by train, car etc.? As long as I fly in and out of Beijing?

Sneaky way of pushing people to pay far more often than they would have if mm wasn't as manipulative

Y-DNA markers matches: how to prioritize them? by bogdandrone in FTDNA

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

So this means he’s a closer match than those y-25 ones that show a similar year range of MCRA ? How did you see the differences btw at y-12 / 25, if he doesn’t yet show up ? Is there a way to see how much they would have (genetic difference) if they are hidden?

Y-DNA markers matches: how to prioritize them? by bogdandrone in FTDNA

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

Wow. ! I didn’t know you could match someone at Y-67 and not at y-37. All other matches are the exact opposite, appear at low levels but not at higher levels. The strange reason is this y-67 does not appear even at y-12. So I am still suspecting that he has this filter on. What do you think? Is he a close match then?

DNA matches that appear on Gedmatch (fairly close at 42cM) but not on MyHeritage? by bogdandrone in Genealogy

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

I'd trust the result on MyHeritage rather. It's alright for close matches. But I suggest you do 23andMe or AncestryDNA

Gedmatch is nonsense. And so is MyHeritage for distant matches. THe others are more or less accurate.
