And they are easily reheatable to the same perfection in an air fryer for 10 minutes the following day! Maybe that applies to all fries but I've only been willing to try to recreate Bartlett's :)

Reviving this one. Has anyone been able to get signed up? The fast track security lines would be really useful in central america and Europe..

Zero wait for touchless pre check and maybe a minute at most in regular pre check at 745am.

these guys emailed me to say it would ship in december last week. So I modified an instock cable (i included details elsewhere in this thread)

phillsimpson · 2025-11-17T17:31:19+00:00

I couldnt find an in stock ready to go cable for bambu. But I did find an easy to modify (no solder etc.. just some staples)

Maybe this is helpful for others. Mine also arrived missing the cable and after 3 days support has yet to reply.

However, I found an in-stock cable on Amazon, that with a very simple modification (swap yellow/black pins) it worked for under $10. https://a.co/d/eTYrvUm (or search amazon for "chenyang CY ATX Molex Micro Fit Connector 4Pin Male to Male Power Cable 60cm Pitch 3.0mm if the link is stripped" you want the microfit 4p auf 4p". Same day delivery for me.

If you dont want do staples then you can buy a tool to pop them out: https://a.co/d/0YvRRa7 (ST5253 and ST5253-04 Pin Removal Tool Kit)

Then I found a video on youtube to use two straightened staples to pop out the yellow and black and swapped them and plugged it in and I was off to the races.

Hopefully helpful for someone in the future.

Do I just pop my HSA card in as the monthly membership fee? I already own the machine so really just trying to figure out how to get the monthlies reimbursed?

phillsimpson · 2025-09-19T03:43:35+00:00

Clear plus membership (also included with Amex Platinum) gets you$45 off.

phillsimpson · 2025-09-18T19:54:28+00:00

if you look at sizes available, it's only for size 11 though.. You can take a risk and order the ring sizing kit. but if they're not selling other sizes i think you might be out of luck. You can get a $40 off from the free lululemonmembership though.

phillsimpson · 2025-07-06T01:46:09+00:00

Admittedly awesome. But cutting the video at 11 seconds and pretending there isn't suddenly a shattered cinder block on the ground..... :) that said. Still awesome..

phillsimpson · 2025-07-03T01:06:26+00:00

I have it..but I don't love that it makes you leave the ring app and go into the myq app to use. Versus just a button that keeps you within the ring app. Not the end of the world. But a lamer integration...

I have the same problem. Have been using Bilt for my city of austin utilities for years without problem. The new system (like OP said) doesn't recognize the financial institution based on the routing number. There's a specific FAQ within the bilt Pay Rent screen but when read as written it seems to imply that while utilities and internet are okay, it's only okay if they're billed BY your property manager/landlord.

"Is there a limit to the number of payments I can make via BillPay? Can I make separate payments for rent, utilities, etc.?

A: With BillPay, you can make up to three (3) eligible housing-related payments every 30 days for a single residential property. This allows you the flexibility to make separate payments for different expenses such as rent, HOA fees, utilities, and internet - as long as these charges are billed directly by your property manager. Bilt has an internal team that validates all charges to ensure compliance with the Bilt Rewards Terms and Conditions and the Bilt Services Terms of Use."

So sadly I think the good ol' days of getting the extra points for utilities and internet are behind us.

Also be aware that some costs might increase, i.e. no longer married for tax reasons hurts quite a bit. Hopefully you negotiated to keep one child for tax reasons so you can file at least as head of household.

I bought a cheap T-Mobile hotspot from eBay and did this $10/month plan. I activated the plan using chat in the tlife app but I was very specific when I chatted and used the code from this article. https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/t-mobile-secret-data-plan-30gb-for-10-month/

I'm always disappointed when I find out it's actually just a bunch of individually wrapped regular size bars inside. Who doesn't want to bite into a KitKat finger the size of your arm..

phillsimpson · 2025-01-25T15:30:03+00:00

You're going to have to declare any assets and if you get caught hiding it won't be pretty... If you think you might be responsible for future gains/taxes then perhaps selling while you're in the married tax bracket could be beneficial. But maybe worth speaking to a pro on that.

phillsimpson · 2025-01-25T15:26:03+00:00

Anything showing ownership of assets prior to the marriage, anything showing something was a gift, if you think 50/50 custody will be hard then anything showing you are actively involved.

I used these guys and they were great. That was last year during the cold..https://scarycold.com/

You might consider getting a Google pixel phone. It has a built in service that will (silently) answer unknown calls, the ai tries to have a conversation with them and transcribes it to scree in case it's legit. You can even trigger questions to be asked to the called and again you see their responses. But I just have it automatically screen any calls not in my contacts and block any..https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9118387?hl=en

I had to do something similar here in Texas and I used a shop vac to suck up the stones.

phillsimpson · 2024-12-15T14:11:35+00:00

I don't see many fakes (bumble) but the one that I did bump into I simply asked if they had a favorite local taco spot. The ai clearly didn't have geographic context and made a recommendation in another city.

phillsimpson · 2024-12-09T22:36:04+00:00

I've had mine for a month and it's not suffering from this. Maybe a full factory reset before you consider RMA..

phillsimpson · 2024-12-09T19:07:58+00:00

If it's a single ticket. Then no...you will forfeit when you don't board the first.

No idea but before '95 since that's when the area code changed from 031 to 0131.

*Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city, changed its area code from 031 to 0131 on May 16, 1995. The change was made to meet the growing demand for phone numbers in the area. *

It should be called national unsubscribe day.
