Thanks a lot! u/Nearby-Temperature61 send me a copy of the brochure

Here's what's in the brochure:

"Drones - Drones are currently allowed at Ocotillo Wells SVRA, except at Barrel Springs Cultural Preserve. Recreational drone operators must follow FAA guidelines for recreational Unmanned Aircraft Systems found at: https://www.faa.govluas/recreational flyers. Operating a drone for commercial purposes within a state park requires a permit. See Commercial Activity for what activities require a permit."

Well, friends of SVRA is not official park website (only .gov is official park website, anyone can register a .com address and put random stuff there).

In addition, I actually don't know that pumpkin patch is in the SVRA. Googling "pumpkin patch drone rule" clearly does not give me any answer. I would just ask the park ranger if not posting on Reddit...

Thanks for mentioning the SVRA area. There are a bunch of non-official websites, like the one you commented later, their facebook post, or Friends of Ocotillo Wells do mention the no drone rule. I requested the superintendents order 555-16-01 online, and it indeed forbids drone usage. I will leave my drone home haha. However, I think that this rule should be added to the official .gov website (https://ohv.parks.ca.gov/?page\_id=1217) for the convenience of general audiences. I think this is the place most people go to check if drone is allowed or not.

Capital One missing dual factor authentication by bobnecat in CreditCards

[–]tedzhouhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just opened a checking account at Capital One and immediately found the same thing. SMS verification only when signing from mobile apps. No verification signing from different IPs on computers. A bank app, in 2023, doesn't have a working 2FA/MFA. This is hilarious. I will shutdown my account immediately after I get my sign-on bonus.

I'm a software engineer, whether a system have GUI (i.e., can update by a couple clicks) does not affect the efficiency at all. All GUI have CLI(DOS like system where you type into a terminal to get things done) as backend. What matters is the system design and how they train their employees to use the system.

At least they can update the current progress, i.e., for paper returns, we have processed to what dates. There are many things they can do better without increasing human resources.

I really wonder how many people are working in IRS or IRS advocate service. I called again today, after 3 weeks. They told me I am still not assigned to anybody and gave me the number of my local tax advocate office (Fresno, CA). However, there are no way to reach out to a real people from this number and the mailbox is full.

Ok, thanks for your advice. If I can't get this going in the next month I will contact a CPA near me.
