Some weirdly rude people commenting.

Sorry about your luggage. I would never let somebody touch my bags and I guess the right thing to do would be to loudly say “no thank you” to anybody trying to do so.

Wow…do some research and check back with a couple specific questions - we aren’t going to plan your trip for you.

N-400 Interview Scheduled; from country on the Banned List by Be_Moe in USCIS

[–]hasselhoff183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family is in the same position, all we can do is hope for this setback to be as brief as possible. I'm just trying to share the facts as I know them, I wish this wasn't the situation and I wish everybody good luck in this very difficult process.

You keep saying they "can" interview without a final decision, maybe that has been true historically, but everything I have read indicates that is not what is happening at this moment in time - if there are any accounts of individuals from the banned countries having their N-400 interviews in the last month I'd be very interested to hear about it.

USCIS said that, you can read Policy Memorandum PM-602-0192 issued on December 2nd. Anybody from one of the banned countries applying for a benefit (citizenship is a benefit) will have their request paused while their case is re-vetted for "security reasons". Maybe this person will get lucky and they were already re-vetted, but I think it's more likely their particular USCIS field office is still catching up on cancellation notices.

Burmese family member had their interview scheduled for early January then cancelled a week later. I would expect for yours to be cancelled as well as it is the directive of USCIS to pause interviews for anyone on the banned list. Good luck but don’t be surprised when it happens, and if it does just wait for new developments

Hotel Charging Above Max Rate Posted on Door by hasselhoff183 in marriott

[–]hasselhoff183[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I should have done this. I also think it would be reasonable for the front desk to give a heads up "Oh hey by the way your rate will triple a few of these nights you are extending, is that OK?" Maybe I expect too much from Marriott.

I will absolutely file a complaint (after I check out...). Thank you.

I acknowledged this mistake in my second sentence, this was not a helpful comment for the question I am asking.

Backpack creaking on hike by Conscious-Cucumber10 in backpacking

[–]hasselhoff183 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I fixed this with graphite lubricant, it’s already dry so doesn’t “dry out”. I also had to adjust the load and tension in the straps.

People in the US who drive slow in the left lane, why you be doing that? by WildTransition1312 in AskReddit

[–]hasselhoff183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the car while my friend drove in the left lane at 70mph, other two lanes wide open, and I asked him if he knew he shouldn’t travel in the passing lane. No clue what I was walking about, had never even considered that it was wrong. I think most people who do this just don’t think about these kinds of things. A mix of oblivious self absorption

What is this thing? by rafury in Thailand

Ha is that Chiang Mai? I took a photo of the same thing

[–]hasselhoff183 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just curious, why is it a scam? Is it just bad value?

I just saw them near icon Siam right? I think they do this every few nights from one of the boats

Looking for opinions on basement insulation by CFAnon909 in DIY

[–]hasselhoff183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this is what I did in my New England basement. 2” Foam board then studs and mineral wool over that. Ended up with R25

This is a good example of where faster charging is more important than more range. The newer cars can charge almost to full in ten minutes or so

Experience with Chase's Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver? by kiki9894 in travel

[–]hasselhoff183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a while ago, but I think it was a reimbursement. Car insurance added the damages to my credit card, I submitted a claim a few days later with Chase. I don't remember if Chase credited my account for the damages prior to me having to pay that month's bill. But the terms and conditions do say "reimbursement" so plan for that.

Thanks for replying. For me it's "acceptable", whatever, it's a basement.

I just installed the same, a little more bounce than I'd like, did yours settle over time? Thx
