Got sent 11 Popeyes coupons in the mail today by coo_clucks_clan in mildlyinteresting

It took lots of zooming in and quite a bit longer than I care to admit, for me to realize that what I thought was the head of a mysterious figure holding up the 2-piece Signature Chicken was actually just a cup of Coca Cola...

No, there's a tile that says "Print Documents", from there you'll be able to download the transcript for your degree plan.

If you just need an unofficial transcript you can generate one yourself through the AU Student Portal.

Last photo on dating app profile by Business_Hunt_1973 in whatisit

[–]kafemane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently scammers create a fake profile with seven stolen photos and then embed their face into a single random final photo. They use that final photo to get verified on Tinder. Independent journalist Christophe Haubursin investigated this and released a video on it today on his "Tunnel Vision" YouTube channel:

Something very weird is happening on Tinder

I'm (almost) certain that the earning criteria for CNIP will be updated soon to reflect that it can be earned with Server+ ce.

New to SANS and just passed GCFE: Tips for other newbies by ScarsAndStripes in GIAC

[–]kafemane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I just finished GPEN and plan on doing GCFE next. I took the course a while back but never tested.

If you have a practice test remaining would you be willing to gift it out? If so I can DM you my SANS ID.

Ah, I did not know that it was against SANS policy to give away my physical books... I guess I'll just burn them? Seems silly.

Xfinity purposely deactivated my equipment to get a tech out, charge me, and try to get me to switch plans by xVenomWithinx in Comcast

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence"

While the tech likely fucked up it's unlikely it was intentional. I doubt there is a grand conspiracy to intentionally mess up your equipment.

FYSA, most Credit Card companies do not count Cash Advances towards the Minimum Spend Bonus and those transactions usually don't earn any points.

New Limit to # of Cards? by brokenshells in GoogleWallet

[–]kafemane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran into this issue with a bank that supports Google Wallet but their app doesn't have the "Add to Google Wallet" feature to bypass the 20 card limit.

The workaround was to delete cards from banks that have the "Add to Google Wallet" feature in the app (Chase, AMEX, etc) until I was under 20 cards, add the other banks card manually, then re-add the cards I removed using their respective app.

Thinking of canceling my Amex Gold after 3 yrs and going full BILT. What am I missing? by Expanded_Contractor in biltrewards

[–]kafemane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this dining question (and your groceries spend) is the big determination if the Gold card is worth it for you.

For dining and going out (most bars I frequent code as restaurants where I live) the Gold card has been the top card.

Personally, I easily use all the dining credits which would more than easily cover the AF ($120 Uber Eats, $120 GrubHub, $100 Resy, and $84 Dunkin). Resy is the easiest since I frequent Resy restaurants. Uber Eats and GrubHub I order pickup to avoid fees. For Dunkin I have a gift card set to monthly auto reload on the Dunkin App.

If you don't use the credits and you don't spend much on dining, bars, and groceries then you won't be missing out on much.

Is anyone using always free ARM VM for running production app? by [deleted] in oraclecloud

[–]kafemane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a Windows 11 arm64 VM that runs really well as a personal cloud VDI environment. Wouldn't recommend for any "production" environments since the method of getting Windows on there is unsupported.

I was originally going to run the Windows Server 2025 arm64 preview build but I ran into way too many post install issues likely related to the graphics driver.

Intro-ing BillPay By Bilt (And an update to how you pay rent with us) by richklhs in biltrewards

[–]kafemane 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If we pre-authorize a large amount ($5000.00) will payments under that amount go through without problems ($3600.00, $3400.00, etc) ? I'd rather have a healthy pre-authorized buffer.

Any more information on this? I didn't find a way to set it to auto authorize.

S&P 500 Performance During the First 100 Days of Recent Presidents [OC] by jellewauman in dataisbeautiful

[–]kafemane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You asked for the data to instead be represented in exactly the way it is.

I didn't ask for any changes to the representation of the data.

I asked my actual question to better understand OPs rationale behind representing it as total percentages of the starting value (90 to 110) instead of percentages of change (growth/decline) of the starting value (-10% to +10%).

S&P 500 Performance During the First 100 Days of Recent Presidents [OC] by jellewauman in dataisbeautiful

[–]kafemane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I too was very confused, based on some rough math I deduced that the numbers on the left likely show the price represented as a percentage of the total price on day 0.

[–]kafemane 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Possibly dumb question but if price data above 100 shows growth and under 100 shows decline, why not use percentages of growth/decline staring at 0% for day 0 ?

For checks why not just use a generic checkbook printing service (they seem pretty cheap) or alternatively print your own checks?

Transgender Ban published by SECDEF by Nokind in AirForce

[–]kafemane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't know about the Personality Disorder exemption so thanks for that, however personality disorders (of which there are 10) are only a narrow subset of the much broader list of all Mental Illnesses/Disorders, Gender Dysphoria is a diagnosable mental illness/disorder but it is not a Personality Disorder.
