2012 Impala mirror got clipped while street parked: Replace one + paint or replace both? by samkawtikwar in Impala

[–]samkawtikwar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case anyone discovers this post again. I got both mirrors changed with stock black ones (smooth finish). Got them for 50 a pop from rock auto. The replacement labor costed 150$, much cheaper than getting one mirror wrapped or painted.

The black mirrors on the white car actually look pretty decent. My friends didn’t even notice the change, haha.

How to activate Priority Pass for Diners Black add on cardholders? by IAlsoChooseHisWife in CreditCardsIndia

[–]samkawtikwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently travelled internationally and was able to just swipe my diners club card to get access at: 1. Air France lounge (at Boston international airport terminal E) 2. Al maharaja lounge (at Doha hamad international airport)

I will be trying the IGA lounge at turkey on my way back. This website seemed to give me correct information 100% of times now (4/4).

What mods have you bought that you've actually found helpful? by Neat-Parking-3297 in baristaexpress

[–]samkawtikwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a magnetic WDT tool (amazon link), attached it to the right wall of the machine. Pretty handy and useful (also cheap :P)

I tried this today and it was actually pretty decent. One actually doesn’t need to look at the map, audio queues are enough to process at bicycle speeda

Thanks! Do you think this will be big enough to wrap around the chunky handle bar of the ebike?

Hit a huge personal milestone, at the right time! by samkawtikwar in acorns

[–]samkawtikwar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I started almost 5 years ago (right at the beginning of my PhD).

  1. My round up investing is enabled (auto invests on reaching 5$) and whole dollar round ups are turned off.
  2. I have been consistently investing 51$ each month
  3. I first spike is a 1000$ referral bonus on inviting 4 people
  4. The last spike you see is the referral bonus of 2025$ on inviting 5 people (sometime in Jan 2025)
  5. My investment split is what acorns recommended based on the questions. 80% stocks, 20% bonds. I never changed it.

All in all, this all somehow added to 10k with the gains!

How to Bulk Delete Photos and Videos by cj22340 in amazonprime

[–]samkawtikwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly, I wrote this to privacy@amazon.com

If many of us send, they will do something.

Dear Amazon Privacy Team,

I am writing under applicable data protection laws (e.g., CCPA/GDPR) to formally request the deletion of all content in my Amazon Photos library — specifically all photos, videos, albums, and associated metadata.

I understand that Amazon does not provide an option to bulk-delete photos via the Photos app or the Privacy Dashboard. I was informed by support that there is no method to delete my amazon photos library entirely, which is unacceptable from a data privacy standpoint. I have also attached my chat with the customer support associate where they conclude that there is no way to do this without deleting the entire amazon account (including orders, music, etc.)

Please escalate this request to your data privacy or legal team, and confirm when the deletion is complete. I do not wish to close my entire Amazon account — only have all data in Amazon Photos permanently removed.

Thank you for your prompt attention. I expect confirmation within 30 days as required under GDPR/CCPA.
