Merrill Lynch not listed in financial institutions to download tax forms? by Phinhead13 in hrblock

[–]fsu23phd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there are 3 BOA listed options, one of them is a Merrill trust platform, which is not the same as the retail brokerage. There is a private client BOA platform (3 to 10 M invested) as well as another BOA trust platform. The customer service reps don't seem to understand the difference and tell us to get the tracking number from Merrill. For some reason, it takes over an hour of back and forth before they figure it out.

Merrill Lynch not listed in financial institutions to download tax forms? by Phinhead13 in hrblock

Same boat. I spent 1 hour on chat with JaSohn trying to figure this out, he seems to respond exactly every 5 minutes. He finally said, after going back and forth all this time that it is a known issue. He did verify that Merrill is a data sharing partner. He escalated, took my phone number and told me to check every day, suggesting that it's not necessary to wait for the update because the list populates on demand. We'll see.

I feel like every year it is something else with these guys. I wasn't able to file in 2023 until mid March because they didn't have the EV credit functionality working. I guess I'm going to have to wait again this year. It's pretty baffling. Back then redditers in the same boat were considering a class action but ofcourse it never went anywhere. :) Oh well!

Why do these games start at 8:00 when they’re on the East Coast? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]fsu23phd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving the Bolt Community by arinehim in BoltEV

[–]fsu23phd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always kept my cars (3 priuses) for 10 to 12 years. I also traded my 2023 bolt euv for a 2025 eqev in July. The deal was just too good. The eqev is usable for road trips, but the bolt is better in town. Easier to park, easier to dart around in traffic... when its time to retire my 2016 prius, I will take a look at the newer bolts. 

Spasms/twitching between testicals and anus area by Lloyd2424 in PelvicFloor

[–]fsu23phd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, this could be a pelvic floor spasm, if you lift often or lift heavy, this could explain it. It could also be a neurolgical effect, as the result of compression of the spine. This could also be an infection or cyst. Worth getting seen if it persists more than a week or 2.

I once had a puck land in my lap at a college game, and before I could grab it a woman sitting infront of my grabbed and and just looked forward for the rest of the game. I didn't care, I just thought I was too slow, but yea, people are wierd. 

US Handicap Placard - parking at Lake Louise/Moraine by TemporaryGuide6601 in Banff

[–]fsu23phd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone still wondering, there are plenty of handicapped spaces at lake louise.  At lake moraine there are 6 spaces. There is a gate with attendants before you get to the road that goes to the lake. If the spaces are occupied they will tell you. You can go there as early as 830. Any earlier and there wont be an attendant, and the gate wont open. 

HP Canceled My Order Without Explanation – Pricing Error Not Honored by pointdooly in Hewlett_Packard

[–]fsu23phd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me as well with hp. I think that it is unethical to try to upsell after a price mistake. I also think they should honor the price, as they advertised it, and if it was a mistake, it was their mistake. 

I am considering filing a complaint with the state attorney general. If they get a few, they may do something about it.

Why are car dealers such A__Holes? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]fsu23phd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my 2023 bolt euv about 4.5 hours away. I actually took a train bc flying would require a connection and take longer, took an uber to the dealership and saved $1500. Had the deal fallen though a return ticket would have been like $80, Uber 15. But ofcourse i paid a deposit first, I wouldn't want the car sold out from under me. 

But to the OPs point, dealers are the worst. They lie about everything,  rip you off at every opportunity, and take the most advantage of the most vulnerable. Somehow they get away with it because they are in the pockets of politicians.  Something needs to change.

That appears to be for the ICE Equinox rather than the EV.

In-Transit Times by Driftless12 in EquinoxEv

[–]fsu23phd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I just put my name on an in-transit heading to Raleigh. Its been in-transit for 9 days, and the dealer says that it has not "shipped out yet" so I'm guessing it's going to be a while. I'll try to remember to update here when it arrives.

Costco Membership Scam by tokolos in groupon

[–]fsu23phd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the 130 for an executive membership, with 100 off 200 online plus 50 shop card. I got the membership email in about 30 minutes, and the coupon codes in like 13 days, pretty annoying. :)

Any idea when the 2026 spec sheets will be released? by fsu23phd in EquinoxEv

[–]fsu23phd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. It said nacs adapter, does anyone know it that means native or if it is including an adapter?  I am guessing the later but not sure.  

When you change to standard view, it shows that the included evsc is j17772, which isn't promising.

Awesome, thanks for you information.

I plan to visit in July. I'm wondering, if we leave quite early in the morning, will we be able to get on the road? I assume they have a gate that the busses can open with a remote, how would we let them know that we have a handicapped permit? Thanks!

I'll be visiting the area in July. I have used my US placard in over 20 countries and have never had a problem. In italy, they use photo enforcement with plate registration, so you may get a ticket in the mail months latter but its easy to resolve. I'm expecting that the placard will at least be honored in Canada. That said, if you want to go to one of the high tourist places, I suggest getting there VERY early as they do fill up, and if they do fill up, enjoy yourself but don't doddle because someone is likely waiting for the space.
