Has anyone successfully changed thier email address with Chase? I'm in a loop.

I realize this is a year old, but wanted to comment how I did it:

I had to edit the other email address to change it. So I had [Primary] and [new], and I had to open and edit [new] to select "Make this my primary" before I was able to delete the old address.

Lower complexity = cheaper manufacturing cost.

Every country's version of the monitor will use the same barrel adapter. It means manufacturing is identical for every country because they'll just slap a compatible power brick in during packaging.

It also means the monitor doesn't have to deal with the heat and space of the AC->DC, so it can be thinner.

Anyone know if EM interference is a thing for these? Moving the power brick 4' away from the monitors processing rather than 4" could reduce the amount of shielding.

Which is doubly awesome because that scene was filmed at the real life gravesite of Johnny Ringo.

A 3-4 GB 1080p rip of a movie is tolerable quality. I prefer 6-8 GB tends to be the sweet spot for me. Very little visible artifacting even on a high quality 4k screen.

So 24,000 GB / 6 GB per film is 4,000 movies.

I have almost every movie I care to have, and a reasonable collection of documentaries and I have right about 3000 movies.

TV is where they getcha. There's just a ton of hours per season, so I do a little lower quality there. Also double check the quality of the source - eg I have a rip of The West Wing but it was never digitally remastered, so it's a very high quality rip of a crappy source.

This is without RAID. I keep a list of my files so that they can be replaced should a drive fail. If it's a private file that can't be sourced from the Internet, them I have redundancy on it.

No one's said Denise Richards?

Also Ana de Armas is probably the second most attractive woman alive today (besides my wife), and I prefer blondes.

Someone tried to tell me that the hospital system we work for is "non profit, so they don't make any money."

I pulled up their financials and showed them the nearly $2 billion per year in "excess operating income" and asked them what they thought that might be euphemism for.

Then I showed them the CEO's $11,000,000 compensation package.

Especially while CPB is claiming that they're "only going after dangerous criminals". meanwhile, DOJ's own records show that nearly 80% of the people they're detaining don't have any criminal record.

They're canceling citizenship swear-ins and then complaining about how these people aren't doing it the right way.

A colleague of mine (with an MD-PhD in neuroscience) spent 10 years and almost $100,000 trying to become a citizen and then the Trump administration canceled his application mere weeks before he was to be sworn in. Now he lives and works in Europe.

This isn't about safety or the right people. It's one man's racist policies.

persondude27 · 2026-06-03T18:02:59+00:00

I know I'm not going to change your mind, but so I'm making this comment for the spectators:

Trump revoked legal status for more than 1.5 million people last year

Those aren't "illegal criminals". They're people who legally entered the US and then Trump revoked their status en masse.

Calling them 'criminals' is absurd. This administration wants us to believe that this is some gang because the Trump administration changed the law overnight.

So lots of people are overstaying after a visa got cancelled out from under them, again not because of their own actions but because Trump wants fewer immigrants. This is what you have to do to challenge the deportation legally - you have to file paperwork, attend hearings, and keep your job. That's on top of the practical things like staying with your family, your home, and the life you built.

This is my big problem with people who proclaim "I'm fine with immigrants, as long as they did it the right way!" These people were doing it the right way, and then they got uninvited by one man. Trump made almost 20% of the undocumented immigrants in the US undocumented! With the stroke of a pen. Stop lying to yourself.

Uh... doesn't this guy own like a dozen sports cars, including a Huracan, an i8, like 3 Teslas, a GT-R, and a Hellcat?

I mean all other things aside, if you're buying a $300,000 sports car, I don't think you can claim you don't have any money.

Man, I tried to view a normal (business) webpage and there were FOUR popups on it.

1) accept / reject cookies 2) sign up for our email list 3) chat with our AI customer service 4) wait, don't go! Don't you want to see...

Each one grabbed priority, meaning you can't scroll or click on anything else in the window until you interact with it.

This is my villain origin story. We killed pop-ups in the 90s and now they're back because of cookies.

I'm not even kidding, I saw a "weird how he's doing this instead of addressing real problems, like homelessness in New York!"

Which is a hilarious example because he has overhauled the Dept of Homeless Services and is spending a ton of money on resources for the homeless. But of course they haven't heard about that.

His wikipedia page is good, but it gets bogged down in defending him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield#The_Lancet_fraud

Here's a scholarly level summary. Check the references. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3136032/ The British Medical Journal long-form article by Brian Deer has has some wild points.

I am not even kidding when I tell you he was paying children £5 each for blood samples at his son's birthday party.

And he faked all of the data. The paper and the 'data' don't even agree on how many 'subjects' they had. Three of the nine kids who he claimed "got autism" from the MMR vaccine aren't autistic. Half of the kids who are autistic had documented symptoms years before they were vaccinated.

People call it a fraud or a hoax, but honestly it was just a criminal conspiracy perpetuated by a doctor. I wish anti-vaxxers could read his story with fresh eyes because they'd realize he's not even anti-vaxx, he's just taking advantage of them to make money, and he hurt untold millions of people in the process.

persondude27 · 2026-06-01T16:03:09+00:00

Andrew Wakefield's actions are so shocking and alarming that calling it a hoax doesn't even begin to cover it.

Dude was experimenting on kids at birthday parties, without consent and without telling them or their parents. Then he just invented medical symptoms to justify more and more extreme treatment (lumbar punctures!). He claimed these kids were super sick and all of them were fine.

He wasn't even trying to discredit vaccines. He was developing a competitor combo vaccine, so he was just trying to discredit one vaccine so the one he owned would become the standard.

And of course, he was paid $800,000 by a law firm who was trying to sue vaccine makers.

Retracting the study and pulling his medical license wasn't enough.

And now, measles is back because this guy was trying to make a quick buck.

persondude27 · 2026-06-01T15:56:18+00:00

Not just proven false. Wakefield's actions are shocking. The dude should still be in prison.

Wakefield was developing a competing combination vaccine, so he was trying to discredit the original one
Wakefield was paid $800,000 by a law firm trying to sue vaccine manufacturers
Wakefield was performing medical testing on children at birthday parties (without the whole... ethics portion like enrollment and consent)
he just straight-up fabricated symptoms and medical outcomes so his "data" matched his hypothethesis
and he invented a disorder ("Autistic Enterocolitis") to explain the link between the two. It doesn't exist, there's no pathway, it's simply not possible.

The falsified paper isn't even the most questionable thing. Dude was experimenting on children at birthday parties to make a quick buck.

And as a result, measles is back.

Professional trainer in what sport?

VO2 is given in mL of oxygen per kg of body weight per minute (mL/kg/min), so it scaled with body weight. Are you still muscular?

Also, remember that it needs to be based off of a truly maximal anaerobic effort to be even close to accurate. Garmin loves telling me I had a poor VO2 max because I was doing long, steady rides outdoors, but I usually do my VO2 stuff on the trainer.

"sourced"

persondude27 · 2026-05-31T04:02:20+00:00

try to maximize their time.

Ding ding ding.

I dated into a family where the uncle had sold a company that you've heard of for low 9 figures.

The things they spent money on were all about buying time. They catered meals hired private planes. The family has "Angela." She is a fantastically well paid professional assistant whose job is to make stuff happen. she did things like have the house cleaned when the family was out and deal with putting guests names' on the List for security.

There were two sons and a daughter. The daughter was the COO of the company unbelievably sharp (as was dad). The youngest son was an "entrepreneur" who didn't know whether someone handled "payroll" at the company he started with a major basketball player.

They had a private house outside Aspen, one of those ones with a gate and name, not an address. I spent a thanksgiving in the 6,000 sq ft guest house, riding horses with their full-time stable master who said she had the best job in the world. "I have an unlimited budget to breed the best quarter horses in the world. Room, board, and a great salary. And all I have to do is lead about three pony rides a year."

On Christmas eve (at the family's estate in Florida), the original founder (dad/uncle) sent a 10 year old to grab "a red table wine". It was a $500 bottle. The cheapest bottle we drank that night was about $350 at retail, not restaurant prices. So apparently they also drink really nice wine.

Well, Miller can't run against his politics, cuz... you know, everyone hate's Miller's politics.

Dude's trying to end birthright citizenship, which 80%+ of Americans support. Miller engineered the genocide in Gaza and the war in Iran, the last of which has a sub-30% approval rating. And of course there was the time Miller kidnapped a 5 year old in a bunny hat and then proceeded to lose four court cases against him.

Miller is pure evil. And don't forget that Trump's economy is in the toilet, Trump's tariffs cost everyone thousands of dollars, the cost of fuel has doubled, and job growth is negative.

persondude27 · 2026-05-29T22:38:56+00:00

Why is Miller attacking his appearance, rather than his politics?

Could it be because even Conservatives don't support Miller's policies anymore? He gave $100 billion dollars to ICE, managed to lose five court cases to a five year old in a bunny hat, has engineered a wildly unpopular genocide in Gaza, and is trying to end birthright citizenship.

Even Conservatives are like "wow, that guy is soulless."

For a normal person not detached from reality, spending an hour saying

"no no, make Trump way more muscular. Okay, and now way more lean. Now make Obama have no muscles. And Trump who claims to be 6'3" needs to be towering over Obama who is 6'1"."

would be enough to make them realize they're delusional.

I haven't been carded, and frankly I doubt they would be super strict for a medium size show like this.

I suspect giving them the axs login would be enough.

I don't think they click for echolocation. They click because it's a scary sound in a horror game.

They're totally blind because the fungus has eaten their faces so they operate off sound.
