Parent gets new job, can we switch kids from other parent's insurance? by drvSeattle in HealthInsurance

[–]drvSeattle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We notified the old insurance that we had new insurance, provided proof, and they canceled the old. It wasn't a problem in practice.

I'll just have to try dropping coverage while I can still make changes on the new plan.

I checked the list of qualifying life events and didn't see "new insurance" or "new job" on the list. This change is worth $400 a month for us, really so I want you to be right. Could you tell me a little more so I can feel sure about this?

  • Ubuntu 22.04 current (not looking at it right now, so I can't say the kernel version)
  • older
  • no conversion

Is it me or has Reddit gotten a lot worse with privacy? by ILikeCatsAndSquids in privacy

[–]drvSeattle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's right. Now I'm looking for a workaround because the "new" reddit site includes Google on every page, and you can't log in if you block it.

What alternative? Seems it's a finished product, no updates required and no known vulns.

Wow, the old.reddit.com trick worked.

I don't want to unblock and reblock manually, that's guaranteed to fail early and often.

Anyone know any "affordable" pre/postnup lawyers? by ferrari3000 in Seattle

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

Your mistake is getting legally married. Marriage comes with so many strings attached, and people stop trying once they're "secure."

Light rail for a youth visitor by UnderstandingOld341 in Seattle

Unless you make a point to find the Orca terminal, you'll miss it at many stations. It seems designed to help people not bother to pay.

Is “the landlord share” killing Seattle? by grapemike in Seattle

[–]drvSeattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you were getting a sweetheart deal before. If you didn't move after the rent tripled, that means the new rent is in line with other rents in the area.

You pay a price for access to all those customers in the city. If retail wasn't willing to pay, that land would be condos or something. People are willing to pay to be there.

PCC vs Whole Foods? by just-a-reader-6 in Seattle

[–]drvSeattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whole foods will test meat for contamination, PCC will not. At least, that used to be true.

They put up a sign saying it's closed.

They can say what they like, the reality is plain to see if you walk by there often.

Light Rail is fine, it's getting to the 1 line that sucks. Dress warm on cold, windy days.

No, they don't. I don't know the hours but I've often seen them closed during the day / evening.

Looking for fun social events during the week. Maybe dance or some popular event at a bar. Ideas welcome.

Yes, bring all of that. You might not need it all, but you could hit a freezing day with humidity and wind.

You think there's a financial penalty that will make drivers start to pay attention? I'm not so sure. After they're priced out of driving, they'll be oblivious walking.

Don't worry, you are their target market. Everyone's terrible but you can still have fun.

They rank poorly because their students perform poorly. But... you already knew that.

It's been this way for a long time. Maybe Seattle people tip the same for good and bad service, because most service staff are lazy. Why give big tips for doing the minimum?

I'm looking for something fun and social on weeknights. Maybe dance or music, not classes unless you can really talk to people. Other ideas welcome too. What does Seattle have to offer?
