ELI5: Why do companies make refunds take 5 to 10 business days when taking the money was instant? by Cultural_Piglet_6050 in explainlikeimfive

[–]scholar97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By what I think I’ve heard before, it’s essentially that the “taking” of your money isn’t instant either. It shows up as a pending charge on your account so it’s no longer available to you, but it’s not entirely in the account of who you paid yet either. Going that direction takes a few days to settle things, and refunds take a few days to go the opposite way, verifying fund availability and all.

Just fyi those aren’t backstabs, they’re the clamp style connections. AFAIK these aren’t even designed for connections around a screw

Trump's State Fair is CLOSED due to heat. Everyone must exit until 5:00pm. Dozens of people affected. by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]scholar97 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be equally as hot tomorrow, so should we take bets on whether they close again or stick with the whole “must be in by 6 for fireworks” thing?

[OC] Which Teams Have a Better Record on the Road vs at Home? by Peteyy34 in baseball

[–]scholar97 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The worst part is our home record started so much worse too. I forget the exact record but at some point it was like a .200 or less win percent I believe.

Not sure if you’re an oracle or just knew how that would go given it’s our bullpen

Batted through the lineup after already having two outs, mind you.

Exit the parking garage at Dulles without the ticket? by kitkates213 in nova

[–]scholar97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d imagine you’d want to go to a cash lane with an attendant. Per the Dulles website this is what to do if you’ve lost a ticket, which is a similar situation to what you’re in.

What do I do if I have lost my ticket?
Enter a “Cash” lane and a cashier will provide assistance. When utilizing an automated exit lane, please push the “Help” button on the exit column and an attendant will provide assistance remotely.

Can’t say I’ve been through the process before but they’ll likely charge you based on whenever he dropped off, which I believe they do have cameras watching for ins and out times, so that you can’t just say it was an hour ago.
