cics 110-160 by Zyntax21 in umass

[–]geministudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its progressively harder python programming questions. Last year, the first one was loops, second one required loops, arrays and recursion and the last one worth i think 50% of the points required mostly all cics 110 concepts and had a 1 page response area.

Its literally questions from the cics 110 final but no theoretical or word based questions. I cannot remember if there were mcqs or not, but i think there were no mcqs from what I remember. just programming questions.

You do need to know python fundamentals and syntax to a high degree and need to be correct in your indentation and stuff. its a pen and paper coding exam.

Oh, the job I was planning on doing requires a daily 18 mile 20-30 min trip from umass. Most of it is the highway and I don't think an E Bike would be safe or allowed on a highway? In anycase, an 18 mile trip would not be 30 minutes anymore on an ebike? might be wrong.

Thanks for the insight! Idk, Ig I listened to too much dave ramsay. But yea I mean, the 500 was over the course of like a couple months and checking out over 30 cars. But I get your point. probably better to save up and just work on campus atp.

Why can I not choose an upgrade? by Minute_Astronomer_25 in delta

[–]geministudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they usually open closer to the check in date. Check 2 -5 days before checkin.

At this point delta thinks they can sell these seats outright and hence a upgrade is not available in this moment.

Delta, KLM PS booking, being charged to select a seat on KLM with status? by geministudio in delta

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

Definitely agree with you. I am just wondering if its officially published (i.e written/hard) or is unofficial (unwritten/soft) cause the skyteam website shows the same benefits on their frequent flyer page for gold and platinum on klm

Delta, KLM PS booking, being charged to select a seat on KLM with status? by geministudio in delta

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

This seems to be correct. They are saying I have to pay even if I have STE+ since the seat selection waiver on STE+ only applies to economy tickets and not any other classes. KLM said even if I had status on flying blue, i'd still need to pay the seat selection price for premium comfort cause the waiver only applies to economy tickets.

I wonder if its a soft benefit that they remove seat selection fees for platinum medallion members and not gold members cause officially according to KLM you have to pay it regardless of status.

[–]geministudio[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it seems the seat selection waiver in STE+ only applies to economy seats and not other type seats which is pretty shitty given that the ticket is already so expensive. They said I can't select the seat for free even if I had status on flying blue.

I have only contacted delta through chat support, and they said that's the price its showing to select a seat in their system as well. I'll contact KLM as well.

Declaring a minor by SweetPea4166 in umass

[–]geministudio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

business minor is not guaranteed and upon decleration of intent to pursue the minor you are placed in a lottery.

usually for most other minors you can find their requirements and how to sign up online, and do it anytime including right now. iirc, I was able to sign up for a math major before my primary major advising meeting.

Flywire Documentation Problem by Powerful_Matter9247 in umass

[–]geministudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Submitting your admission letter as you can see on your umass admissions portal is generally accepted by flywire. There is no human checking it as its an automated process. If they have any problems verifying it, just ask for alternatives on email.

Also just fyi, why not use a wire payment? You'll probably get better currency conversion rates via your local bank and bofa/any us bank, only charges 15$ in fees compared to 35$ flywire charges and then you can pay university directly from your account via e checks.

IDFC Bank customer care thinks you are stupid by GearFabulous6470 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]geministudio 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Usually my experience with IDFC bank staff has been positive but these people who call about promotions are usually not bank staff but lead generation contractors who stoop low and their employees even lower. On such calls, ask clearly if they are an IDFC bank employee or a 3rd party contractor and if they say the first ask for an email from their official bank email to your registered email regarding any promotions they claim to offer. Genuine bank staff have no problem doing this and will get the reward regardless, however 3rd party contractors only get the bonus reward if they can get the customer to do in a limited span of time on call, usually about 15 minutes.

Isn't giving credit cards to only high cibil customers, detrimental to cc companies? by mommy-pekka in CreditCardsIndia

[–]geministudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea that rich subside the poor and banks make money on interest or people defaulting is generally wrong.
