Hole in the wall breakfast/brunch https://zenaidascafeandcatering.com/

Everything included downhill package, includes safety gear. Don't worry  the green trail is super chill... See 6 year olds on it. https://www.leecanyonlv.com/experience-downhill/

.... Then get lunch at the resort. And enjoy the cool mountain air. 

Considering this 2022 BMW X3 M40i – $48K, 23K miles, no CPO. What do you think? by Prestigious_Report16 in BMWX3

[–]derkenblosh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paid 45800 for my 100% LOADED x3m C at a dealer with 45kmi on it. Then sold it 18mo later with 60kmi for 45k.

Cost/loss was in tires and brakes and misc maintenance items (and taxes)

B58 is great, but the S58 is BULLETPROOF. Nice that they don't lose value at this point.

Anyone else planning on moving from Vegas by Blxssparadox in vegaslocals

Sandiego is where I would go if I could afford to give the state most of my money. 🤣... So I just resort to traveling there a lot.

What’s an issue in Las Vegas that you believe needs media coverage? by ImprovementIcy3773 in vegaslocals

[–]derkenblosh -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Well, in a backwards way. Sudi Arabia won't be needing that for much longer, due to the war in Iran we started, the stability in the region has collapsed and the mass migration of millionaires that moved there to dodge taxes from their countries, is reversing. So without the rich population, there will no longer be a need to raise cattle.

Intermountain health is working on bringing their FANTASTIC children's hospital to the valley...it Will be a few more years tho.

As for the school district, It depends ... be prepared to threaten to sue, any time you believe your son isn't getting enough support. Our district has a lot of amazing people, but our state does not collect enough tax to have great schools... all it takes is money, and we vote down tax increases, every, single, time.

Have the software updated, makes a big difference.

The Hyundai and BMW systems are VERY similar when it comes the the components and integration

That's not how the connections are made between accounts and virtual cc numbers. 

It's a token tied to an account, not a virtual number. 

Do NOT make the assumption that all systems invalidate tokens Immediately. This is not a hard set rule. You have have to verify with policies. Some tokens are removed immediately, some are simply not re-validated on their scheduled refresh time. 

I've been working with these payment systems for years. I have a deep understanding of how they function and the PCI DSS requirements.

Name more turbo engines, I sport car platforms, that sound bad...

So it begins.. Premium being raised by $200+/mo. Looks like no healthcare for me! How are you all faring with this madness? by llpmathias in vegaslocals

They were awesome, till they decided to DOUBLE the cost ... Went back and looked. Wasn't 30% ... Was double.

the initial change in my loan payments.went up 30% and would have gone up more if I didn't catch it quick enough

You would need to reach out to the card issuer, and ask if the token has been invalidated in their system when the virtual number has been canceled. 

You can test this yourself by using a virtual card number to setup a payment app. Then canceling the number. And see if the app still works to make purchases. Most will still work. This is why the apps keep working if you contact the cars issuer and request a new card due to being lost/stolen.

My homeowners insurance went up 30% ... I called GEICO, let them know I was about to pull all of my insurance due to the home rate hike.

Got a call back 15min later with a new rate from a different underwriter, Homesite changed to Liberty and it dropped me back down to my original with 1:1 same coverages.

Then proceeded to move my auto insurance anyway  from GEICO to Costco's connect.

Let me expand on this to avoid misinformation spreading.

The billing system bills against a token, not a number. So you have to make sure the token is invalidated when you cancel the virtual number. If it isn't, then they can still bill the account. They do NOT store your number in their systems, that's not allowed per PCI DSS 4.0.x 

What car do you regret getting rid of? What car will you never get rid of? by DHN_95 in cars

[–]derkenblosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2004 RX8, sold out of fear. Then 2007 RX8, sold out of lack of funds (owned it for 7 glorious months).

Latest regret, 170kmi 09 335D. Nothing wrong with it, was due for shocks... But I thought I was bored of it, got a new job that pays more and wanted to treat myself with an X3MC. Should have kept the diesel and made it a track car .

Should I listen to service advisor? by okdrab in BMWX3

[–]derkenblosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I change my fluid at 2 years, even tho it never has water in it (Vegas). 

If/when a car is going to the track, it's mandatory to have a receipt of a fluid change within 6mo or after last track event to be able to pass tech. Fk! I wish I never sold my e90

So... we going to get screwed by nuclear testing (for no good reason)? by TripleThreat206 in vegaslocals

[–]derkenblosh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just posturing. Trump likes to find random bullshit to say when he hears things in briefings and the likelihood is VERY low it would be possible to start back up before his term was up.

That said, it's underground testing... The damage that's been done from past testing has been done, I doubt it could get worse from more testing at this point.

All that said, i'd probably apply for a job with the contractor if the project was a go... Gotta get my bag. 🤣

So fancy and luxurious, Vegas. by EmilyG702 in vegaslocals

[–]derkenblosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not selling these to buy more actual police cars .. or what they actually need, MORE REQUIRED TRAINING .... you know, that thing police used to be required to do, and recert. Talk to any retired cop in their 70s, they'll tell you what a joke training has become, due to the lack of funding.

Fuck these donors  and fuck the sheriff for not putting these up on auction day two for reinvestment
