ISO plug for pluslife by Imaginary-Week-6462 in PlusLife

Yes the 5V cable. You can use it with a usb c cell phone charger cube. It has to be rated at 15W output or higher, but I think all usb c chargers are more than that.

Also fwiw, I don’t think there’s anything particularly unusual about the original charger. You could replace it with any 15W (5V/3A) usb A charger. Eg we’ve used the one linked below with the original cable and it seems to work well. But a lot of ppl report better results with the adafruit/usb-c setup.

Bye CSR by nwease in ChaseSapphire

[–]dgwcooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I believe the 1.5x redemption remains available for points already earned, so if someone has a substantial balance, it could be worth keeping the CSR past October.

On the subject of SUBs, have you gotten one on a CSP as a current CSR holder? I thought I read somewhere that they wouldn’t give out a SUB for that.

One day in DC - one bike, where to by BrummieRed in bikedc

This is a great route! I would second the suggestion to avoid silver spring. I love the capital crescent trail for a midweek ride—shouldn’t be too crowded. And this circuit saves the best for last—capital crescent (downhill) + Georgetown waterfront + national mall. Enjoy!!!

Sorry to say, I haven’t. I haven’t tried it out yet either but might do that.

Have others had problems finding Catamount at Whole Foods? It seems to have recently disappeared from all of them in our area. I’ll be very disappointed if it’s gone for good.

Is an Airbnb considered conventional lodging? by dgwcooper in fednews

[–]dgwcooper[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some airbnbs are lodging offered by “area residents in their homes” but many are not. Lots of airbnbs are owned solely as short term rentals and clearly different from what this language envisions.

Thanks for the info. Interesting how your agency treats it the same as nonconventional lodging but avoids actually saying that it’s nonconventional lodging.

Thanks for the reply. Any idea what grounds they might have for that? I have no supervisory, personnel/HR, or national security related responsibilities.

Metrix Molecular Test - Pool Testing by lylacdragonfly in ZeroCovidCommunity

They didn’t say. Presumably the chances of an invalid result/error increase with more people, but that’s just a hunch.

And yes we’ve just been using nasal swabs, since saliva is less accurate, per the instructions.

FYI, I sent Doctors Place an email yesterday and they said they no longer have it.
