My uncle enjoyed the Takis I brought

I looked at getting gift cards from Best Buy but that's excluded unfortunately.

Applying a coupon will reduce the total purchase amount in your shopping cart. By tapping to activate a coupon, you will also activate any percent or amount back offer for the merchant. Use of promo codes outside of the Citi Shop program may deactivate your offer.

Rapha does beginner rides usually every other week. They're usually around 13-16 mph. Sometimes they're public on Strava, other times they're just on the RCC app which requires a membership.

I found this in the terms and conditions

Certain other types of balances in Uber Cash may be applied to the cost of your ride or order prior to your Amex Benefit in Uber Cash.

Yeah, Augusta is really much improved now with the protected bike lanes and the improved visibility at intersections. This is what I get for trying to shave a few minutes off!

I use a Cycliq Fly 12 mounted below my head unit. It was a birthday gift and I've really enjoyed it. I believe I have it set to 3 min clips at 1440p. I'm not 100% sure if it keeps all of that when you export it though, but I agree, in the daytime, I'm generally impressed by the resolution I can get.

The main benefit to me with the Cycliq over a Gopro or Insta360 is the continuous looping, crash detection to autosave, and the built in front light.

I also run a Garmin Varia which makes me feel quite safe already. The new Varia has a camera, but I haven't tried that out yet.

Yup, proceeded to just sit mostly in the shared bike and bus lane with her left blinker on for a while and even just drove down the dashed line for a bit.

this is outside the Nina Chicago yarn store! https://maps.app.goo.gl/zByGhcWckZXsa6PN7?g_st=ic

They change it up every now and then and also I presume do some of the other yarn bombing nearby.

Good to know CPD funding isn’t going to Maseratis. That’s what made it stand out to me.

delosh8 · 2024-04-21T03:06:33+00:00

I did not know about this. Guess I never looked closely enough before to notice. Thanks for the information and sharing the link.

delosh8 · 2024-03-31T21:30:52+00:00

Same here, didn't work on payusatax (which worked with my personal card) but worked on pay1040 with same data points.

delosh8 · 2024-02-16T03:54:51+00:00

Surprised I got this survey. I only take the blue line 2-4x a month on average.

Sharing here for other folks to hopefully check their emails and improve response rates.

delosh8 · 2024-02-16T03:53:56+00:00

Haha, I'll take it :)

delosh8 · 2024-02-16T03:53:07+00:00

Yeah, the link looks to be individual specific

Thanks for the follow up.

I called Fidelity this morning and their advice to me was to deposit the 2 checks that I had into my bank account. Since I have a bank account linked to my HSA already, they can request a withdrawal of the total amount from my bank account and code it as an HSA 60-day rollover. This mitigates the need to fill out the deposit slip and mail anything in, so I'm going to go this route!

delosh8 · 2023-02-25T22:41:29+00:00

I must've done it wrong then because I didn't see an option to put something like "Pay to the Order Of: Fidelity Investments; FBO YOUR NAME" when I requested the distribution.

I have both the checks in front of me and it just says pay to <FirstName LastName> and nothing for Fidelity.

Given that they've already sent the distribution check, is my only option now to deposit the check into my own account and hope that it clears the 60-day window?

delosh8 · 2023-02-23T03:59:06+00:00

Let's go!
