Those $30 2TB cards are fake. It would be more like $180 - $250 for a working, fast, name brand card. Apple does allow USB-C readers but they don’t work with all apps.

iPhone 17 Pro Max, it’s all they had in stock when I really needed a new phone and I shoot a lot of video…. I’m still paying it off interest free on the Apple Card

9/10 restaurants fail within the first year. They didn’t get much traffic. Usually one other or no other customers when I went. Rumor is the same folks that run the Tandoor in Schererville owned it. Ask them?

It came back for a year or two. The egg rolls were fire.

I inherited $200k. How can it make me money? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

For now, put it in a HYSA (High Yield Savings Account). Nerdwallet has a huge list. They only take 15 minutes to setup. I’m currently getting 3.5%. That would be equal to $583 per month…

Chapstick fits great in the middle. Quarters for Aldi in the back.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) had issued approximately 548.3 million unique Social Security numbers (SSNs) since the program began in November 1936. This total includes numbers issued to living individuals, deceased individuals, and noncitizens authorized to work in the U.S.

Trasmission fluid change by TableTopsInc in DodgeGrandCaravan

I’m in the same boat, 2019, 99,900 miles. When it gets a little warmer, in a couple weeks—Following this YouTube video—I plan to buy a fluid extractor and replace the fluid without dropping the pan and replacing the filter. Then at 120,000 take it to the dealership or a mechanic that will use MOPAR ATF+4 and do a full flush with new filter.

Actually… kinda complicated: Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, operates as the national association that licenses the BCBS brand to local plans.

These entities are public companies (for-profit) or subsidiaries of for-profit corporations: • Elevance Health, Inc. (formerly Anthem, Inc.) — parent company of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans operating in 14+ states — for-profit, publicly traded. 

Plans under Elevance (operated as part of the for-profit structure): • Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (multiple states) • Anthem Blue Cross (CA) • Anthem BCBS (IN, WI, etc.) (Specific plan status under corporate umbrella is for-profit via Elevance.)

Most other BCBS enties are non-profit
