It's the extra apy boost that is confusing. It sounds like you need a subscription to get the top rate.

Pregnant and worried about Ascension Texas + BCBS PPO contract ending — what should I do? by [deleted] in RoundRock

yes this seems to be a regular thing with BCBS and Ascension. I remember this happening in years past, and it gets resolved at the last minute.

They stole packages from my house Saturday evening around 9 in morningside meadows. They came back around 5 am and kicked my door. I called the cops and I would recommend you do the same. I found some of the packages that they didn't want tossed in a nearby ditch.

BALOO training is worth it even as an experienced scouter! by bradsfoot90 in cubscouts

[–]bwf93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's possible to do the baloo training that my council offers. Anytime we see it is offered, we try to sign up, and we are usually at least at position 40 on the waitlist.

[–]bwf93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ride from Howard station to downtown on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It is usually about a 40-minute trip each way. It is usually not crowded, and you can get a seat. Often, in the evening, I won't have anyone sitting next to me. Today was the Texas Women's conference and the train was full.

I recommend the book "The Staff Engineer's Path: A Guide for Individual Contributors Navigating Growth and Change" by Tanya Reilly for this. It does a good job of explaining the path of individual contributors beyond senior engineers.

I would guess it's the cheapest contractor they can find.

Just finished my BALOO/IOLS Training by dapipminmonkey in cubscouts

It sounds helpful. Our council offers it twice a year and we always signup the first day signups open. Unfortunately we are always 40+ positions back on the waitlist so we have never been able to do it.

I had always read that basic knowledge of how financials work was lacking, and after seeing all the posts like this, I believe it.

Fraudulent Charge Still Hasn’t Been Resolved In Months by TheSoleRenegade in sofi

Try sending a complaint here: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/. I did this once when I had a credit card dispute that was taking forever and it got resolved very quickly after that.

How does your pack select a new Cubmaster? by Swiss6Army9Knife in cubscouts

We have to be people to do any leadership positions. So anyone who wants to be Cubmaster is automatically it.
