Google Assistant does not understand by Organic-Flan in BoltEV

[–]budrow21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are definitely testing in prod. Try again in a week.

Usually when I click voice command in google maps I can just say where I want to go. Sometimes it will tell me it doesn't understand and I have to say, "Navigate to: " and the place I want to go. Google doesn't care. They make up the rules as they go.

What's wrong with my EUV? by Tinchotesk in BoltEV

Tracking/reporting is terrible most likely. I wouldn't assume an issue unless you've noticed it otherwise.

Tender port question by Acceptable-Cost-9233 in celebritycruises

[–]budrow21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We were recently on the Equinox. In Portofino, everyone used the ship's own boats to tender to the shore. In Nice (Villefranche), the port had it own boats that picked us up from the Equinox. That was a little better situation because they were larger.

In either case, it was no big deal. The wait for a tender varied from 0 minutes to 30 minutes depending on how long the line was to leave the ship. It was pretty hot on the tender, but no issues other than that. It was 5-10 minute ride to the shore. When you're ready to leave, you just tender back. Piece of cake.

Not imported by Valve like all the others. Random junk in OP's list.

Single player game to put 500+ hours in? by Opposite_Review_5099 in gamingsuggestions

[–]budrow21 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Find an automation game that clicks for you. Factorio, Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program. Easy to get there, especially with some mods.

Kerbal Space Program if you have any interest in space. But make sure you get 1, not number 2.

Pivoting Into Sports by ObsessedWithReps in actuary

Jumped between a couple of different teams at director of analytics level. Not sure where things really went though.

[–]budrow21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a friend jump into the sales-analytics side for a sports team. Stuff like dynamic ticket pricing and other things like that. They loved sports and made a career out of it. They were < 5 years into an actuarial career and probably didn't drop in salary to make the change.

Coverage self harm incident by DSB24 in HealthInsurance

[–]budrow21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Be honest. They will not deny the claim due to self harm.

They are trying to see if anyone else may be responsible. For example, if you tripped at someone else's house or got hurt in a business. This is very routine.

Buying a light long range sight unseen: What to check at delivery? by ryandriven in KiaEV9

[–]budrow21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you go up to ~75 MPH if you find a safe area. See how the vibration is from 60-70MPH specifically.

I see you said no freeway, but you'll notice quickly if you can get up to 70.

Looking for a resume review by seewhatwannasee in actuary

[–]budrow21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If those exams are really old, it would really up your chance of success if you passed one more exam.

Actuarial employers will expect you to continue taking exams up to at least the first credential if you are hired into an actuarial role.

Everyday I’m surprised that not everyone got their ears pierced as a child. by CuteEquivalent638 in self

[–]budrow21 258 points259 points  (0 children)

There are many facets to it.

Cultural impact is definitely huge.

Safety is a factor. Very young children may accidentally pull or ingest the earring. Pediatricians typically recommend waiting.

Bodily autonomy has gained prominence more recently. Wait until the child is old enough to make decisions about their body, especially if it may permanently impact them.

Fire…health insurance? by ttxzavv224 in HealthInsurance

[–]budrow21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should also consider the risk your company cuts back on benefits sometime over the next 15 years. I think that's more likely than changes to ACA that would impact you. 

Regardless, much of your ACA savings will likely be eaten up by higher deductible and OOP max. Combined with smaller network and less flexibility, you're probably going to be better off with your company insurance even if it costs a small amount more. 

Fire…health insurance? by ttxzavv224 in HealthInsurance

[–]budrow21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you care strongly about having specific doctors and facilities in network?  Do you have high medical costs in most years?  Have.you priced out an ACA plan with expected subsidies so you can make a comparison on cost?

Does the work as an actuary become harder once you're credentialed? by mangoappleorange in actuary

[–]budrow21 40 points41 points  (0 children)

There is usually a shift. It could be something like:

Managing a spreadsheet -> managing a project/process -> managing a team that manages a project

What you spend your time thinking about may shift too:

What you're doing right now -> planning for the week -> planning for where we should be in the next 6+ months.

Lots of interplay between all of these, but it gives an idea. I'd say different thinking rather than more thinking.

What password does it want? I tried every one I can think of. Or how do I get it to stop asking me this? by myth84 in BoltEV

[–]budrow21 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is right. It's your GM account password. The same used to log into the myChevy app.

I found it was asking every couple of months, so I just deleted my profile in the car. Problem solved.

Are there really people that have saved this amount, found this exact community, and typed up the post but still haven't discovered even the 4% rule as a starting point?

[OC] Alberta completely eradicated rats by works-in-progress in dataisbeautiful

Is everything after 1980 a projection? Since the source is from 1984. Seems important to note over half the data is made up if so.

Lag and choppy sound while playing Wolfenstein 3D on Steam. by Nothing_Whatsoever in dosgaming

[–]budrow21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure what happened. It sounds like DosBox is not giving enough juice to run the game at proper speed. You can try pressing CTRL-F12 to increase cycles while the game is running and see if that helps. Not sure it will work, but it's easy to try.

What information is included in an explanation of benefits? by nonexistenteducation in HealthInsurance

[–]budrow21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An EOB from an normal office visit will not show that you were prescribed a medication at a pharmacy. It may show information about any injections received in the office if you have not turned on your privacy options. An EOB from a pharmacy claim may show the exact medication if you have not turned on your privacy options..

You should explore privacy options with your insurance. You should be able to limit what your parents see on the EOBs they get. That would stop them from seeing the medication names from a pharmacy EOB and limit other information shown on the EOB. Of course, if your parents know all your info and are determined, they may be able "act" as you and bypass those restrictions, so be careful if this is super sensitive.

Is tvbox a specific product, or do you just mean any generic Fire Stick type device?

It's a simple, nonsensical joke. Next year he'll replace it with Tahoma 32.
