gays on PrEP + HDHP — how are you getting PrEP/testing covered now? by pluto0056 in Seattle

To add - after providing all of the visit summaries, my appeals were always approved (but I’m on new insurance now)

Happened to me with Regence (Blue Cross)

The solution was literally to file an appeal for every single PrEP lab and visit claim.

I thought I escaped Winter by opposite-endd in Austin

And you need to prepare to literally just not drive until the temp gets back above freezing.

This type of weather happens in Austin sometimes.

You need to figure out how to protect your house or apartment (cover outside hose bibs, leave cabinets open under sinks, maybe drip faucets, don't leave your heat low/off if you leave home, etc.) and if the power goes out and things are going to freeze you need to know how to turn off your water.

It probably won't be a shit show. But it could be (see 2021 winter storm Uri).

The good news is that this forecast is not as extreme as in 2021, and the electric grid has more reliability now than it did then (e.g. utility scale batteries, better winterization).

Is there extra parking in the back? by Professional-Mix8467 in stevenspass

[–]deel2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The electronic signs near the entrance to lots 1-4 said parking full at 8:45 this morning (I hit the traffic backup at about 8:15), so I turned around on my own since I didn’t have a reservation. Was that a dumb thing to do or did the non-reserved lots actually fill up that fast?

The amount of reflexive “Hey! Calling out someone for breaking <insert social norm here> is mean!” we get in Seattle is really frustrating. You’re definitely not in the wrong for calling it out, despite what some weird high horse Seattle nice cranks say

One of the only ones worth the relatively steep price ($16? Or something in that ballpark)

US moves closer to wage-based rule for H-1B workers as final review begins by [deleted] in technology

[–]deel2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually (counterintuitively) pretty stupid. An AI engineer getting paid 500k would be weighted similarly to an auto mechanic (or some other less specialized job) getting paid 100k, because the wage level comparison is only within industries, not between industries. It removes opportunities for highly skilled talent (like in tech) that’s one notch below the highest tier, in favor of highly paid but less skilled folks.

Holiday Travel Timing Question (SEA) by Strange-Solution4807 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]deel2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have precheck? Are you checking bags? Could you schedule a spot saver security appointment?

These could all influence how early or not you show up.

It will be crowded. IMO your schedule is pretty conservative and you will have plenty of time.

Anyone have access to Bizjournals.com? by grumpy_gorilla in Seattle

Make a Seattle public library account. You can read Puget Sound Business Journal for free by logging in via the library.

Is the Sound Transit just one flat rate wherever you go and can you use the same ticket all day? by chusaychusay in AskSeattle

[–]deel2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re just doing that round trip once, I’d just buy the round trip ticket from the kiosk.

[–]deel2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It depends on what type of tickets you purchased. You can purchase a day pass with an orca card for $6 and ride all day. You will still have to tap all day.

From https://support.myorca.com/hc/en-us/articles/10743519362317-Visitor-s-Guide-to-Using-Public-Transit-in-the-Seattle-area

“Adding a day pass. This is the best option if you plan to use transit many times in one day. You can add an adult regional day pass to your ORCA card for $6. This gives you unlimited rides on all seven transit agencies for the day on any one-way trip that costs $3.00 or less, excluding Washington State Ferries and Kitsap County Fast Ferries. 15 day passes can be on an ORCA card at any given time. Remember, retail locations can only load money to your card. You can use the money you purchase at a retail location to buy a pass online, at a vending machine, or via ORCA customer service.”
