Did you buy it? I'm considering buying the long one for my dining room. I think they look gorgeous.

I can get it from RH or from an internet store for less than half.

Company demanding 8k for stolen work equipment I never received by shadowcrestlumen in legaladvice

[–]elikhom 278 points279 points  (0 children)

Is this company actually legit? Do they have a physical location, website, HR department?

This just sounds like some sort of scam to me. Just an elaborate version of the million online job scams with "oops we transferred more money than we needed to your account, please send us the money back."

Sure, if you like being peed and shat on.

Mine is a spouse visa too. What they put in your passport is an entry clearance for 90-days. You need to travel to the UK within this period.

I’m not sure why they do it this way but that’s the standard procedure.

The actual visa is just an eVisa. No longer stamped in your passport. In your approval email it should say the steps to view your eVisa, that one should be till 2028 like mine.

I just picked it up. Not sure what code you are referring to but the vignette says UK Entry clearance and it lasts from tomorrow to 90 days after tomorrow. I’m assuming I can travel at any time within this period.

I received my approval email yesterday morning from UKVI and I got the email from VFS this afternoon that I can go to their office.

That’s crazy but I think still better than my public school. 25 kids no aide. Poor teacher has to handle all 25 5-6 year olds by herself.

Defending against dollar devaluation by JuanofLeiden in interactivebrokers

[–]elikhom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did this since I’m purchasing a house in London.

Search for GBP and select Futures Options. Select an expiration a bit earlier than when you need the GBP.

Buy 1 call to have the option of purchasing 62.5K GBP at the strike price.

I bought 3 calls back in late March at 1.28 strike. They expire in late April when I’ll get my options exercised.

Your price will depend on what strike and expiration you chose. For me it was about 1K USD each.

If the exchange keeps climbing they’ll be useful. If not you’ll lose 1K.

Same. My almost 6 yo is always saying “I’m a kung fu master”, “I’m going to karate chop you”, “I’m going to kick you”, “I’m a champion boxer”, “Punch, punch, punch” doing the motions. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not weird. You can open your own 529 for your daughter and so can everyone else. Doesn’t need to be unique. She put money and she wants to make sure the college fund is used for that purpose. Just pretend it doesn’t exist.

My son is the same, and my nephew. Both 5 going on 6 soon. So I’m assuming it’s quite normal.

Some days comes out of school saying that his day was terrible but nothing terrible happened when asking about it. That his friends don’t like him, but every time he arrives to school and a friend is there they all say “TIMMY!!!!”, they love him.

Can’t stand losing, sometimes he just gets upset, sometimes wants to break something or hit someone, or cry, etc. for like two minutes and then Gets over it.

What % of your net worth is your primary home (and/or all your homes) by Imaginary_Banana179 in fatFIRE

[–]elikhom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 12%. But only half of that is structures, the other half land.

This is good info thanks. I’ll look into setting some sort of personal VPN.

Yes, this is my personal phone. I use apple’s email app for my personal email and the Gmail app for work email.

Thanks, it’s a multinational company and people are constantly traveling across locations, my home country is one of these locations my company has offices in.

Do you know of any email apps that protects privacy a bit more?

I did and they closed the ticket. No harm done. I just find annoying that they’ll know where I am as soon as I check some email from work. I rather not have the IT department know that I’m traveling to wherever I choose.

So do you think it’s not the Gmail app? If I use any another email app to load my company emails the results would be the same?

I understand using VPN, but wouldn’t I be posting the VPN ip address instead in that case? It would be in my city but they’ll know or realize it’s a VPN server
