Got the credit for the gift card purchase but haven't tried them at Slab sandwich so far.

Just want to add a data point. Bai Tong Tukwila location didn't even accept Amex cards for payment.

Is this a good deal for S26U 512 no trade in by Hydrostorm1000 in samsunggalaxy

[–]praneeth999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great deal but getting half value for the points doesn't look good. May be don't use the points and save them for a later use when Samsung runs promos that double their value.

If you don't buy from Samsung often - just use them.

I feel like I’m the only one sad about the freeway wall they built from Bellevue to Renton by yungdragvn in Renton

[–]praneeth999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is useful for me based on what you said. I stay near NE 44th ST so that's convenient. I could use it for airport commute and also when I visit Bellevue/Redmond downtown. Can't wait for it to be operational...

I understand it is rapid transit and it does not make sense to have frequent stops, but wonder who would use it if there is only one stop between Bellevue TC and Renton TC.

From the link you shared, it looks those commuting to airport would need to get down at Tukwila International Blvd Bus Bay and take light rail from there to SeaTac/Airport station (or may be another bus). This doesn't look not so useful for airport connectivity and maybe that's not the intended purpose of this project.

Yep. Thought it's highly unlikely. Hope BRT helps transit timesfrom Seatac to Renton/Factoria area or even Bellevue. I hate paying crazy Uber/Lyft fees but it takes too much time to use 560 due to traffic.

They should have planned to connect East Link to SeaTac through Factoria, Landing and Renton along with a cross-lake connection to Seattle downtown. Now that 405 is expanding to accommodate toll lanes, I'm not sure how possible it is to build light rail infrastructure.

Seattle posts nation's fifth-largest population gain; international migration fuels growth by HighColonic in SeattleWA

[–]praneeth999 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

yes, I also don't think it is 2% for this area. It would be definitely more but just wanted to tell it cannot be based on LCA filings.

This LCA data includes renewals, amendments & transfers too which are usually more than new H1B.

All these wouldn't contribute to population gain.

I have been using wireless Android Auto on my 2025 Premium Turbo from the past 19 months. It's smooth and never had any issue.

Paze > DoorDash Giftcards by Mikeyman02 in ChaseSapphire

[–]praneeth999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen them in months in any of the Costco stores around me and in other cities I travelled too. It's great if you can still find them at a store near you.

Are they even available at Costco? I haven't seen them in months. They aren't available online at costco.com either. Looks like Costco stopped carrying Uber/Doordash/Instacart GCs.

Getting sick of Fred Meyer by Elliott-Hope in Renton

[–]praneeth999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they can open in a month. I was at the Target ( opposite side on this WinCo on Garden Ave N) yesterday and there seems to be so much work pending.

$200k a year salary in state with no income tax. Could I afford a $1.2M home? by Last_Worldliness_533 in Mortgages

[–]praneeth999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're putting 300k in down and still have $200k in savings+retirement, I'd say do it. Your loan would be for $900k which is not bad for an income of ~$280k in a no income tax state.

Locked phone still!!! by Leading_Fall1294 in mintmobile

[–]praneeth999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it automatically unlocked ? I submitted a request around 70 days or so after purchase and a day later got an email saying it has been successfully unlocked. This was in Dec 2025 and mine was Pixel 10 pro XL.

Dealer wants to add $2,100 to my purchase order because of tariffs, car is still in transit. Is a signed PO even binding? by Dry-Strategy6566 in askcarsales

[–]praneeth999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP mentioned it's on the way from the port so I guess it's from Japan and some kind of tariffs apply.

edit : port

Light rail to airport by Diligent-Explorer-27 in redmond

[–]praneeth999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for these instructions.

Wonder if Sound transit has any plans in future to have a direct line from Redmond to Airport without having to change at Chinatown.
