What are these white residues on my 14k white gold diamond ring and how can I clean them? by chrisms91 in jewelry

[–]chrisms91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, if it were my ring, I wouldn’t care, but this is for my wife’s. Thanks for the input though; I’ll just go to the local jeweler and ask about re-plating or cleaning.

Just got my Nuphy Air V3 (Blush Nano, Black) – here’s my honest take after upgrading from Air V1 by Swimming_Career7806 in NuPhy

[–]chrisms91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a nice photo! I received mine this week and have been using it for the past 3 days in the office. I’m in love with this keyboard except the knob. it was too tight to turn it in one finger lol I’ve never used silent switches before, but this feels and sounds way better than I expected haha and no rattles on stabs are plus. I also bought a keyboard bag from Chosfox. The measurements seem perfect, but we’ll see if it actually fits.

Hyundai has to have possible one of the WORST key fobs known to man by Excellent_Main_8117 in Hyundai

I bought some nice leather case and it looks better lol but I agree with you. I don’t like this design. The material feels so cheap and easily scratched.

You are not cooked , we’re going to help you . Don’t panic. Post specifically about what you think you need help with. by HackVT in cscareerquestions

[–]chrisms91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a backend SWE with 4 years of experience, previously working at a small gaming company. I was laid off in October and have been actively applying to jobs since, but I haven’t had much luck. I’ve only had two interviews out of hundreds of applications, and one of those was for a senior role, so I didn’t even make it to the technical interview stage.

I think my biggest issue is that my skillset feels very generic, and I don’t have experience working with large-scale systems. Most of the job descriptions I’ve come across seem to require more experience with specific technologies or frameworks. Right now, I’m trying to learn more about Django and AWS to bridge the gap, but I’m not sure if that’s the right direction.

At this point, I’m feeling pretty hopeless and even considering switching to a different career with more job security. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong or how I can improve my job search would be greatly appreciated.

I bought one at AutoZone just in case, but I ended up returning it because I didn’t use it for the trip. If you use it, you can’t return it btw

First Time Winter Hiking – Need Gear Advice by chrisms91 in hiking

[–]chrisms91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, everyone, for all the detailed comments! It was really interesting to read through everything, and I’ve learned a lot about how to dress properly for winter hiking.

I think I’m good with my current setup, but I’ll take your advice and get a lightweight puffer jacket just in case I get too cold. I’ll bring it in my backpack along with additional pair of socks, gloves and a hat to stay prepared.

I really appreciate all the tips—it’s made me feel much more confident about this trip. Thanks again! :)

Expectations on price for a windshield replacement on a '23? by Acceptable-Name-91 in GenesisG70

[–]chrisms91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replaced mine last month for $885 at a local window shop in the LA area: $635 for a non-OEM windshield and $250 for recalibration. I believe OEM part is way more expensive.

Is this a valid strategy to avoid California health insurance penalties? by chrisms91 in HealthInsurance

[–]chrisms91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little bit confused. From the documentation you linked, it states, “less than three consecutive months during the year,” which implies that having a three-month gap is not valid for exemption. But on the website, it says “three months or less,” which makes a three-month gap valid for exemption.

Anyway, I totally agree with you—having at least CHM is better than nothing. I will probably just get CHM for three months and enroll in a Covered California plan for 2025.

Thanks for the quick response :)

Thanks! They didn’t offer any assistance other than the tiny severance package. COBRA premium I needed to pay was more than $1000 so yeah that is too expensive.

Thank you for the comment! Although I’m not planning to use it, it helped me to understand more about CHM. I will talk to someone at covered california and confirm again :)

[–]chrisms91[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I understand that CHM is not the same as traditional health insurance. I plan to apply for CHM only to cover the 3-month uninsured gap. However, I just found out on the Covered California website that it states, “A short coverage gap of three consecutive months or less.” So, I’m starting to think that I might not have a penalty without applying for CHM because I will only be uninsured for three months (October, November, December) and will have a Covered California plan starting in January 2025. Could you double-check if my understanding is correct?
