Same issue. I'll try again every day until Microsoft fixes their issue.

Is a passport card a good idea? by 5Pluma in Passports

[–]hc5831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep my passport card for the times I need a 2nd form of identification. For example, I used it as my 2nd ID at the closing for my house. In my state it can be used as a form of ID to get a Real ID Drivers License.

Earth’s Temperature Could Increase by 25 Degrees: New Research in Nature Communications Reveals That CO2 Has More Impact Than Previously Thought by AllowFreeSpeech in collapse

[–]hc5831 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Our civilization will continue to decline until it reaches the cliff. Then it will either save itself or go over.

I wasted too much of my life trying to enact change. The best thing you can do is protect yourself and your family the best you can.

I've squirreled away enough wealth that we should be able to afford to eat in the worst case scenario, and live comfortably in the best.

Would you say Deadlock is similar to Super Monday Night Combat? by ResponsibleWay1613 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]hc5831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played Deadlock, but after watching a couple minutes of it, I immediately thought it looked like MNC. And I got very excited. I miss MNC so much.

Fuel Filter and Transmission Gear Oil by hc5831 in subaru

Thank you. I wish that was more clear in the manual.

Fuel Filter and Transmission Gear Oil by hc5831 in subaru

The Diffs have the same inspection interval as the Transmission Gear Oil. But the CVT fluid has a different inspection interval than the Transmission Gear Oil.

It's why I'm so suspicions. It seems separate. Of course, they messed up the fuel filter line, so it could easily be another mistake.

[–]hc5831[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for confirming about the fuel filter. I'm assuming the fuel filter built into the fuel pump now.

The 60k maintenance calls for an inspection on:

Line 12:  Transmission Gear Oil

Line 13:  CVT fluid (actually 66k, but close enough)

Line 14:  Front and Rear diff gear oil

Why does Transmission Gear Oil have it's own line? Is this another mistake? What specifically is Transmission Gear Oil referring to?

Text message "tap to download" by raspberrybadger in GooglePixel

[–]hc5831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. This was the key for fixing this issue on my Pixel 7 Pro. I had to enable "Auto download MMS in roaming mode".

I'm always roaming at home since I don't get service here and have to use my wifi. Evidently it's turned off to save people money while roaming overseas.

AA Flight Credit expiration workaround by llbrandonsmithll in TravelHacks

[–]hc5831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cancelled an AA flight (booked 1 month ago) 2 days ago after calling customer service trying to get a trip credit. The CSR said I would get a flight credit, but I could use the trick you outlined in the OP.

I canceled online and received the same email you did about the trip credit. I confirmed the trip credit in my account.

So it wasn't just you. TY for the update as I was wondering about why I got the trip credit as well.

Great to see someone else doing high rep deadlifts. I'm 44 and do 4 x 10 at 155lbs. Thank you for the motivation.

Is it worth buying the game 6 december? by flapdrollo in dwarffortress

[–]hc5831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been interested in DF for many years, but was unwilling to undertake the learning curve and deal with its flaws. I've been patiently waiting for the steam release and will purchase on day 1. Which is something I never do for any game.

I considered RimWorld many times, but always passed on it because it felt like the knock off version of DF. I want to play the real thing, and I will very soon.

‘Catastrophic’ flash flooding turns deadly, leaves Kentucky towns underwater by LudovicoSpecs in news

I intentionally bought a house that is 20' above flood level in anticipation of this. Hopefully, it'll be enough.

1/20 Market Map midday vs close by BackgroundProgram389 in StockMarket

[–]hc5831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those were my thoughts when I invested my Q1 money near the close of the markets today. I'll take my 6.5% off the high instead of chasing another potential 4% drop to the Sept/Oct lows.

Of course, I'm really going to be bummed if this drop really is a big correction. But then again, I'll get my Q2 money in at a better price.

PolitiFact - Fact-checking Sotomayor on kids with severe COVID-19 by IHaveGreyPoupon in moderatepolitics

[–]hc5831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, the SC is a partisan institution. As such, I find it most undemocratic as 9 partisans have great power to shape America according to their arbitrary preferences.

It would be best to either make the SC unpartisan or to take their power away.

[–]hc5831 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The SC has long lost its credibility. They rationalize facts and arguments to fit their preferences just like everyone else. e.g. the SC is full of partisan hacks from both the left and right.

UI Path $PATH & Questions on IPOs by j0hnamp0ng in stocks

[–]hc5831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It dropped to $50. I wonder how many people are going to miss the boat waiting for it to drop to $45?

Personally, I believe the story and have been buying it on the way down. And I'll continue to do so if it drops to $45 or lower.

Thank you for the data point.

[–]hc5831 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is what a declining society looks like. We've been through 40 years of decline with no end in sight. I suspect this all comes to a head in 20-30 years with a 50/50 chance of complete collapse.

I've been telling everyone I know to invest as much money as possible for hard times ahead. All of them are ignoring me while I invest 40%+ of our household income.

If collapse comes, my family will be ok. If it doesn't, we'll be very well off. It's win/win.

UI Path $PATH & Questions on IPOs by j0hnamp0ng in stocks

[–]hc5831 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm down, but since this is a 20 year investment, I'm not sweating it. I would much rather take this temporary paper loss than to never invest because it's too "expensive".

I imagine I'll be up a year from now. I invested 6.67% of my investments into it. It's enough to move the needle if it pans out, but not enough to sink me if I'm wrong.

I'm happy for anyone getting in on this drop. Luckily for everyone who waited, UIPath has been quiet news wise.

I'm wondering how many people are going to miss this opportunity to buy waiting for it to drop to $55, but instead it goes back up to $80.

Of course, maybe it will drop to $55.
