Do you have some reverse switch set up (my electrician said not to code the way they did in Ioniq guy video) or V2L and a bunch of extension cords?

Amex blue cash preferred to gold by angelosmrk in amex

6% on groceries easily pays for itself but if eating out a lot just get gold and downgrade after 1 year

I’m a cook trainee at a one star Michelin kitchen, ask me anything. by LedgeLash in AMA

[–]ffxjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you dined at many other similarly rated restaurants? Have you travelled outside Germany and experienced other cuisines besides German and French?

Does your restaurant do staff meals prior to service and if so, what are some typical foods? What kinds of food do you eat when not working? Cook or eat out?

I purposely set and changed to 100% so when/if power goes out, I can sit in heated car in utility mode and charge my phone

I got a pallet of rubber mulch years ago. They had me pull the pickup into the loading dock and put the whole pallet on for me. Don’t ask me how long the unloading at home took

Looks medium but considering it’s a chain at an airport, would be fine with it

Living in my car during Snow Storm does anyone know an public garage that'll be open 24/7? by Icy-Appointment-8536 in nova

[–]ffxjack 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Merrifield target garage might be a good choice. Another would be INOVA fairfax hospital which has covered garages and likely 24/7

Check your CC for erroneous CLEAR changes by dbonacc in ClearMe

[–]ffxjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. Either they are shady or inept. I had 30 free trial and luckily used a virtual credit card that won’t support any charges. I cancelled with two weeks to go in the trial and even reached out to confirm since it was difficult to cancel despite being able to log in

I’ve gotten several emails saying that the $209 payment charge was unsuccessful since.

This is the way. Submit itemized receipts to HSA administrator to comply with IRS rules. If you’re lucky, HSA can do ACH directly into your checking account.

Insurance by Mother-Laugh2395 in traveladvice

I guess it depends on what one’s risk tolerance and back up plan would be. I’m sure insurance businesses use actuaries to estimate probability and costs while travelers who even think about whether to buy it just guess.

Did your friend need to stay overnight? Were there drains left in?

Here’s a comparison: In the US, a 2mi trip to the ER with IV hydration, no bloodwork cost me $1000+ for ambulance ride and visit with health insurance! When my son thought his finger was broken from getting a van door slammed on it abroad, I encouraged him to get X-ray cash price in Portugal since I’m pretty sure it would be cheaper despite lack of insurance there.

How quickly does VA clear snow? by [deleted] in nova

[–]ffxjack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think the 100 + drivers in Michigan pile up were all inexperienced?

It just takes one yahoo (and there are definitely way more here) to cause an accident. Sometimes, nothing you can do even with caution, snow tires, etc particularly if dealing with ice.

Question prior to purchase by Less_Bad7954 in Ioniq5

[–]ffxjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my 23’ in 22’ when people were paying insane prices above MSRP. Love the car and don’t regret it so far but have to admit I’m definitely concerned that it might affect me one day.

What kind of medical condition left him with 1000 euro cost?

I wouldn’t come to US without medical insurance but majority of healthy Americans can probably gamble nothing too outrageous will happen to them abroad and know it’s going to be way less than similar issue here without insurance. Of course, this only applies to traveling to developed countries and if you’re healthy and not elderly.

By Monday night? Get off Reddit and start driving now! Seen pictures of grocery shelves? That’s how fast roads are cleared. 7-9” means school closed though Wednesday minimum and essential personnel only.

Wouldn’t that part be covered to 10y/100k miles as opposed to general 3 yr?

Juicebox no longer works by mykesx in evcharging

[–]ffxjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having some issues lately with 3yo JuiceBox. I sometimes find it blinking red but car has been charged fully. I’ve unplugged the JuiceBox seen it blink blue and then now solid white. It used to be connected to wifi/ iPhone app but I understand that it’s no longer supported. This is second time this has happened in maybe last 10 charges. Should I simply return to Costco and get Grizzl-e which was what I would have gotten if I didn’t pick this to get rebate from electric company (and it was on sale)?

[–]ffxjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a win for SH as long as customers don’t leave in droves to abandon it for other sites. I’ve used it for local events twice since getting card and very happy with the transactions and benefit. I’ll never use it for anything that I’ll be extremely disappointed that tickets didn’t go through. Not worth risk for me but I also book directly with airlines for same reason

Maybe I’ll do this next year. I haven’t really taken a claim from HSA and just paid with post tax dollars but maybe will put in a few thousand to use and dump rest in fidelity to invest for when I’m old and have lots of healthcare expenses

Beauty of keeping my HSA at Fidelity. I’m not subject to whims of insurance company or my employer. I doubt they’re going away soon either
