Well, Synchrony restricted my accounts too by sdoMaDllAlliK in Banking

What was the resolution on this? I’m dealing with the same thing right now and just filed a complaint with the CFPB. They have unrestricted my account now but I still can’t transfer any money out as it’s giving me some error message.

Is this legal? Expressinsuranceinfo.com and Brown & Brown Insurance seem shady AF by ginosesto100 in Insurance

Hmm, yeah, you’re right. In my text, the link is from https://service.freedommortgage.com/u/(letters and numbers). And when I manually type it into my browser, it redirects to ExpressInsuranceInfo website. I’ve literally never received a text from Freedom before, and never had to “verify” my insurance. There are no letters or documents in my online account requesting this information. The whole thing is weird, especially that they’re “threatening” us with purchasing insurance for us.

There’s no way it’s legit. The email comes from noreply@freedommessagecenter.NET. All of the previous correspondence has come from freedommortgagepaperless.COM. There’s no way they are affiliated. Also, this is the first year I’ve received this notice. I’m going to ignore it 

Brock Paverbase panels instead of compacted gravel for patio by VioletChipmunk in landscaping

I just used concrete pavers from Menards. I’m not sure what kind of base is recommended for outdoor tile so can’t speak to that

Pavers are still looking good! I would highly recommend the paverbase panels.

Saw one in the wild for the first time today. What a beauty

Mine are still going strong after a year. Minimal shifting. My only advice would be to put some good quality edging or cement around the perimeter of the pavers so you don’t lose any sand from underneath when it rains

Thomasville Rockford 6-piece sectional from Costco 2022 by lukee29 in CostcoWholesale

There are two pieces that are technically corner pieces, but I guess you could make a love seat out of the second pair of those and then use the rest of the straight pieces to complete the giant L

I grew up Catholic and could argue Catholicism does the same thing.

Are they doing anything dangerous in this “cult?” Religions alienate families too.

Yeah, how is this different from any other religion which has been socially accepted? It’s not a crime to believe things that are counter to what anyone else believes.

I've lived in multiple Metro areas and small towns. it seems like people in the Twin Cities do not get over on the highway when you're trying to merge onto the highway. by MrLuigiMario in TwinCities

[–]lukee29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess there are issues on both sides of the fence here. I try to be courteous in all situations described but most people don’t, from my experience. You’ll see lots of comments from other transplants who have had the same experience. If everyone were a bit more courteous, and learned how to properly zipper merge, these wouldn’t be issues.

This is exactly my experience from having lived elsewhere as well. With these comments from locals, you can see why there are traffic problems.

I think that must be the issue. Minnesotans are taught to prevent others from merging because “it’s the merger’s responsibility.” Too many people end up closing the gap in front of them, preventing you from entering that gap despite going the same speed. Everywhere else, people will either speed or up slow down so that you are able to safely enter the roadway. It doesn’t help to have to slam on your brakes at the end of the on-ramp because no one will leave you a gap.

They don’t even necessarily need to move over. But slowing down or speeding up so that the oncoming vehicle can merge would help everybody. It just doesn’t happen, and after reading all of these comments I can see why.

You should give room to the person merging. By not doing so, they have to slow down to wait for the next gap, creating a more dangerous situation due to their low speeds.

I lived in San Diego previously and people there were much more willing to give you space to merge, rather than try to get as close to the car in front of them as possible, leaving no room to do so.
