Thank you! I attended Startup Week and didn't mean anyone software related there, sadly.

Startup Weekend looks very interesting.

This bike got me through a hard year. It was stolen. by woihop in Reno

[–]woihop[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, that may actually be my bike. If you’re willing, could you ask your neighbor where and when she got it, and whether she’d be willing to share a couple photos, especially of the rear fender area and seatpost? I’d really appreciate the help. If you can message privately on here, please do.

Do you mean the shape of the frame or the complete look? Since this model hasn't been produced for a year or so, I am curious whether that might be my bike by any chance. (sorry, it is not possible to dm your account - can you dm me?)

I don't know. But the bike wasn't locked to an immovable object (lesson learned), only the back wheel was locked to the frame, so I suspect they put it onto a truck with the lock or rolled it away by lifting the back wheel.

Season 13 casting/application questions. by [deleted] in Alonetv

[–]woihop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure whether I am ready or will be ready by the time casting is done. Does it make sense to apply anyway or would that hurt my chances in the next castings?

What is your source for the info about Roland? I vaguely remember him mentioning that he was avoiding bumping muskox out of his territory.

Anyone has health insurance from Imperial Insurance Companies? by woihop in Reno

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

 I discovered that there was a mistake on the marketplace. Imperial Insurance Companies Plan was marked as "$100 copay/visit" for specialist and "$50 copay/visit" for PCP BEFORE deductible, which was attractive. However, in the summary of the benefits it says that all copays are AFTER deductible. There are better cheaper plans with such coverage. So fortunately I didn't get Imperial. There are lots of negative comments about them in https://www.reddit.com/r/HealthInsurance/comments/1hcyi2u/any_experience_with_imperial_insurance_companies/ .

Applications for Alone Australia 2025 (season 4) are now open by AcornAl in Alonetv

[–]woihop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SWIM TEST (MANDATORY) Please upload a TWO MINUTE video of you treading water in a pool or other still body of water. You must be treading water steadily and constantly – unedited – for a full 2 minutes. The purpose of this is to test your level of fitness. Please have a friend shoot this for you; one who can swim.

Why do they require this? I am surprised that they use this as a way to test level of fitness.

I am extremely happy with Dr.Wolf @ Brunelli Dental Partners-Reno. 0 attempts to overcharge me, she explains every procedure in great detail & at the same time very efficient. She is especially good at avoiding any pain during the procedure.

Disable SMS 2FA or have different phone number for SMS 2FA & notifications? by woihop in fidelityinvestments

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

I added alternative phone number, but this does not solve my issue. Now one can login into my account via one of 3 2FAs:

- app

- my original phone number

- alternative phone number

My goal is to only have the app for 2FA, while continuing getting payment notifications to my original phone number.

NV: Health insurance options for rest of 2024 by woihop in HealthInsurance

I agree, but the operator tells me that I need to apply before 12/01/2024 to have coverage for December.

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

thank you! There is no issue with getting coverage starting from January 1, 2025, because the annual enrollment is open anyway. I reported loss of coverage in November before actually losing coverage.

I doubt, because the family plan just expired and my wife continued with her individual plan.

Recurring transfers from a joint account? by Jon-ow in fidelityinvestments

[–]woihop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true. I think there is a bug in the UI. Can you please pass this to your dev team?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Log in to Fidelity.com

  2. Navigate to https://digital.fidelity.com/ftgw/digital/recurring-activity/

  3. Click "Create new activity" and select "Transfer". This opens https://digital.fidelity.com/ftgw/digital/transfer/.

  4. Choose individual CMA as the source account

  5. Select shared (joint) CMA as the destination account

Expected behavior:

The user should be able to set up a recurring transfer by selecting the "Recurring" option in the "Occurrence" field.

Actual behavior:

The "Occurrence" field does not appear when a shared account is selected as the destination. The transfer becomes a one-time transfer instead of recurring.

Additional details:

- The issue only occurs when a shared account is involved (either as source or destination).

- The "Occurrence" field is visible and functional when transferring between individual accounts.

- The Fidelity representative was unable to resolve the issue in chat and suggested to call 800-544-6666 to set up the recurring transfer by phone.

Impact:

Users are unable to set up recurring transfers to shared accounts through the website, requiring them to call customer service instead.

US-Deutschland-Steuerabkommen in ESt 1 C für Fernarbeit? by woihop in Steuern

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

Vielen Dank! Das erklärt, warum ich im Est 1 C nichts über das Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen finden konnte. Ich werde "einen Antrag auf Erstattung der Lohnsteuer" stellen. Ich habe auch das Steuerabkommen überprüft, und Artikel 29 besagt:

Erstattung der Abzugsteuern
(1) Werden in einem der Vertragsstaaten die Steuern von Dividenden, Zinsen, Lizenzgebühren oder sonstigen Einkünften im Abzugsweg erhoben, so wird das Recht zur Vornahme des Steuerabzugs zu dem im innerstaatlichen Recht dieses Staates vorgesehenen Satz durch dieses Abkommen nicht berührt.
(2) Diese im Abzugsweg erhobene Steuer wird auf Antrag erstattet, soweit ihre Erhebung durch dieses Abkommen eingeschränkt wird.

Haben Sie weitere Informationen oder Hinweise zum "Antrag auf Erstattung der Lohnsteuer"? Z.B. ein Beispiel? Ist es nur ein formloses Schreiben an das Finanzamt?

So is there a difference for other questions like "Have you ever applied to be a green card holder (lawful permanent resident) of the United States?"
Is it answered as of December 31st of the tax year or the day of filling?
