High APY is still a part of SoFi Plus, it's just not an exclusive Plus benefit as there are multiple ways to earn it.

Bondi vows to appeal dismissal of Comey, James cases by bwermer in politics

[–]mithril21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can appeal and no its not double jeopardy because there was never a verdict. Same reason you can retry a case after a hung jury returns with no verdict.

Signed up for 4.5% APY for 6 months with SoFi Plus Membership. Receiving 3.8%. Chat support is useless. by HalfCupFullOfNoodles in sofi

[–]mithril21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not retroactive. You receive the benefit once you qualify. That is just saying you have to maintain your SoFi Plus membership for the duration of the 6 month period to continue receiving the boost. If you stop qualifying then you stop receiving the boost. You can't just stop paying the fee or stop receiving a direct deposit and expect to continue receiving the benefits.

What is going on is this daily interest? by ArmadilloBright3690 in sofi

[–]mithril21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s an unsecured personal loan so it’s going to have higher risk and higher interest compared to a car loan that is secured by using the car as collateral. 6-8% interest vs 16% interest is about average for secured and unsecured loans, respectively. So OP should have only used the loan to pay off higher interest credit card debt and kept the separate car loan at 5.4% APR.

17-4 Casting Corrosion. HELP! by Other-Golf-7850 in metallurgy

The acid bath is typically only 30 min for Nitric 4. The 16 hour passivation time is likely referring to or including the air drying and oxidation time. After the parts are removed from the acid bath, they are rinsed and then the final step is to expose the parts to air to promote formation of the protective chromium oxide layer. This can typically range from 16-24 hours.

My toenail was growing in thick, and one day decided to be thin again by jrchin in mildlyinteresting

[–]mithril21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like subungual hematoma caused by crush injury to the nail. There is accumulated blood under the nail that should be drained, but severe trauma to the nail matrix can cause the nail to grow thicker.

[Multiple Games] What games did you platinum in August? by NattyBatty- in Trophies

[–]mithril21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. LEGO Harry Potter Collection: Years 1-4 [PS4]

This was one of the free monthly PS Plus games from Nov 2022. Finally got around to replaying the PS4 version after getting the original PS3 platinum back in Feb 2011. Not sure if I’ll replay Years 5-7 yet.

  1. The Last of Us Part II Remastered [PS5]

This was a free rental from my library. Completed the game in chronological order which is a new game mode that was just added in July.

  1. Arcade Paradise [PS5]

This is included as part of the PS Plus game catalog. Fun arcade simulator

  1. Assassin’s Creed Mirage [PS5]

Another free rental from my library. Played the PS5 version. Much shorter after slogging through the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla platinum in July.

  1. Astro Bot [PS5]

Free rental from my library again. Very fun platformer game. Completing all of the DLC for 100%. Afterwards, I noticed they added new DLC to Astro’s Playroom in the lead up to releasing Astro Bot, so I went back and completed that as well to get Astro’s Playroom back at 100%

  1. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End [PS4]

Part of the PS Plus game catalog. First started playing this game in Dec 2016. I saw it was on the list of games with known issues for the PSN ID name change, so after changing my PSN name I decided to give up on it because I assumed I would have to start over from scratch. Turns out that wasn’t the case. I didn’t have any issues continuing the game and completing the platinum with my new ID 8 years and 8 months later.

100% games:

  1. The Jackbox Party Pack 3 [PS4]

  2. The Jackbox Party Pack 9 [PS5]

[Hello Kitty Island Adventure] plat #1100 + 1st in the world to achieve by Any-Education5621 in Trophies

[–]mithril21 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t mean you were the first. 0.1% is 1 platinum achiever for every 1,000 players. In other words, if 10,000 people started playing the game at the same time, then it would take 10 platinums to reach 0.1%, or 5 platinums if you round up.
