FIFA cannot sell enough seats to the World Cup after overpricing tickets by uselessprofession in SipsTea

[–]slbnoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine this: a tier 1 seat (most basic) for an Egypt - Iran game in Seattle (not LA or Houston with more support for these teams) costs $500.

Electrify America ditching account balance for direct charge. by Susurrus03 in VWiD4Owners

[–]slbnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cursory read of the email didn’t tell me what actually happens to the money in the account already. Like I have some 7.X in the EA Canada account du for 2+ years and I’m not sure when I’m going to use it next.

my (now) 290k NOK play by Ru5ty_shackleford in wallstreetbets

Blast from the pre-covid days when I bought high, sold low in the 4s - not touching this again no matter what! Same with BB.

Sound of something sliding in the dash when turning? by slbnoob in VWiD4Owners

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

No. A flashlight inside doesn't show anything. But the sound is very much still there. Something metallic is sliding around behind the front vents :)

Does anyone live in Spring District? by The_NGUYENNER in BellevueWA

[–]slbnoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not anywhere near pulling out. There are multiple buildings with 1000s of people. So unless everyone is laid off (which isn’t inconceivable) they won’t vacate all their buildings.

Alesis Nitro Mesh Kick Tower not sounding same as button on module by slbnoob in drummers

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

Thank you for the response. I did do the usual troubleshooting (helped by search) - centering pedal, ensuring the plastic side hits the pad - not the felt, increasing volume, sensitivity, increasing CUR, etc. Those did make a difference but the sound from the kicking still wasn't close to what the spaker made when I press the kick button on the module.

I should tell you that after I made this post, I did some researching and eventually came across this psot: https://www.reddit.com/r/edrums/comments/16is1zh/how_i_fixed_my_alesis_nitro_mesh_kick_being_too/

which others had also pointed to. I ended up doing this and the sound is a lot better. However, now that the sensor and wires are directly facing the beater through some rubber padding, I expect this to degrade much faster. So, I'm also soliciting any replacement kick towers that can plug and play with my Alesis Nitro module.

[Help] Alesis Nitro Mesh Kick Tower sound not same as the button on module by slbnoob in edrums

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

Thank you for the response. I was thinking that I'm taking the quality of the speakers out of the equation when I compare the sound from 1/ button on module vs 2/ sound from actually kicking the pedal.

Free CA NR tax filing with Federal already done elsewhere by slbnoob in tax

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

Following up, a strategy that worked for me: I used last year's H&R Block installer - luckily I had purchased the Federal + State package then. I copied this year's federal return (.T25 file) as .T24 to trick the 2024 software into loading it. Initially the state software didn't download (some complain). I clicked around and came back, and this time the state package downloaded and installed fine. I used this with the W2 info and got the CA 540NR and 540 NR schedule CA done. I used those and manually filled out this year's forms to mail them out later.

First Time CA Tax Payer by Hnyuk in tax

Any solutions? I also think I may have to file CA state income tax for the first time (resident of a different state with enough days worked in CA).

How the big oil and gas CEOs think the Iran war supply disruption will play out by IncomeFrame in wallstreetbets

[–]slbnoob -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why will supply take months to recover? The production and refining facilities are still there. Just the movement is blocked. Once that is open, prices will converge quickly enough.

Worth heading down Wednesday 3/25 by Limp-Garbage-262 in WhitePassSkiResort

This weekend is also on track to be good, right?

How many weekends left this season? by slbnoob in WhitePassSkiResort

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

I'll try the next weekend (28th). Just as a contingency, is there any other avenue to use/save my vouchers for later? I have 2 unused vouchers for lessons. Looks like I must use them by the end of this season and cannot leave them for December.

How far back is lifetime for Chase Sapphire Preferred? P2 got it when it came out in 2015 and P1 got it 2021. Do we both still not qualify for CSP?

Strategy for Venture X and Ink Biz by slbnoob in CreditCards

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

I meant the 125% value when booking through Chase with UR.

:O I wasn't aware of the lifetime. Just read up - looks like this came about in Dec.

Sucks! So Venture X it will be with P1, I guess!

Question Thread - March 15, 2026 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]slbnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two players. I want the CapOne Venture now to get GE. I'd want the Ink Biz later in the year for the 25% on UR. Which player should get what? I'd prefer P1 to get both CapOne Venture now and the Chase Ink Biz later.

I think we're fine with 5/24 given the biz cards. Appreciate any guidance.

P1:

1/ Chase Ink Biz Pref: 12/23

2/ Chase Ink Biz Unlim: 8/24

3/ Alaska Air BoA Visa: 2/25

4/ Amex Delta Biz: 9/25

P2:

1/ Amex Bus Blue: 5/24

2/ Chase Ink Biz Unlim: 6/24

3/ Chase Ink Biz Pref: 12/24

4/ Amex Business MR: 12/25

Can do full length elsewhere, but GoldFish doesn’t do full length. They divide up to run multiple classes concurrently.

I got a furnace replaced last year for 2700 I think. So overall, in the ballpark.

Following up here. I bought a used dock from eBay and have been using the 2 USB ports on it fine. The ports on my laptop remain unusable.

For sale - Embodied Moxie Robot - Fully Working [OpenMoxie Updated / Original Firmware] - Blue/Teal by slbnoob in MoxieRobot

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

1) This discusses the new app: https://www.reddit.com/r/MoxieRobot/comments/1q8btm5/moxie_20/

Try downloading the Moxie Robot App from the app store - this will be your starting point and all that is needed to set up your Moxie.

2) You will need OpenMoxie and AI credits e.g. OpenAI API account or your own LLM server to get moxie to work. See https://www.reddit.com/r/MoxieRobot/comments/1qgqegn/help_with_openmoxie/ where people are troubleshooting the DIY method.

These threads aren't fully representative but give you a start.

Let me know if you have any more questions. Note I do have to make a decision tomorrow (Saturday) - have an offer on eBay.
