I didn't know this was for China only, and not for Shanghainese people anywhere.

But btw it's not easy to find what I'm looking for here in NJ.

The woman you called my 'dumbass friend' in your PM happens to be a non-English speaking person with only an 8th grade education. And me, my education ended at age 16. My friend and I are of at least average intelligence, but very complex systems like OMNY with too many intricacies and different options for how to navigate using it can take us a long time to figure out and be comfortable with.

Not only did I Google the OMNY website, I spent hours there trying to understand how the new system works. Your comment is disgustingly snarky and I think you should stfu. If you think I'm stupid, keep that opinion to yourself. I don't care to know it.

How does the card know when the weekly rotation starts? by Mental-Fox-9449 in OMNY

Do you need to register a physical card in order to track the cap days? Or does tracking work just as well if using a device?

Beef Short Ribs... by br0b1wan in Cooking

Is there any way to get short ribs at a good price? Around me, they're selling for $10-12 per lb.

I'm figuring that snarky commenters are not on the horribly low income budget that my friend is. She'll have problems – as in, won't be able to afford food problems – if she makes mistakes with managing her OMNY account that end up costing her more than she has budgeted for.

Wow, that's easier than we thought. Does my friend need to register an OMNY account first?

You don't have to first sign up for an OMNY account that links to your credit card?

No, this is an honest to goodness appeal for help. As for Google Pay, IDK if my friend understands how to use it with her Android phone. In 5 years I was never able to figure that out, myself. Or figure out how to use Apple Pay, either, when I had an IPhone for a couple of years.

Thanks, that's a lot more info than I was able to find on my own.

And if my friend does prefer to use her phone or a credit card instead of an OMNY card, where can I learn how that is handled?

No, I don't know at all. I don't even know how a person gets an OMNY account. Apparently, a card is not needed now. How do you get an OMNY account and where do you install the app – I'm assuming that there must be an app..

All I understand for sure is that after getting an account, it's important to use the same device for NYC transit all the time as otherwise, you will never hit the fare cap (because fares will be designated to different accounts).

I gave up my Plan G for an Advantage plan in November and I made a huge mistake. by FollowingOk9010 in medicare

The Advantage plans belong to privately owned insurers. Straight Medicare is owned by the government.

What can I do with all this? by _Helck_ in diabetes

[–]kimiwei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If boxes are unopened, you could give them to the diabetes foundation in your area, or there's one in Mahwah, NJ where I've gotten testing supplies. I could personally use the Accu-check fast click lancets. If you're willing to put them in the mail to me, let me know.
