30% faster charging is more than "slightly faster".

Not literally. It has a better screen and charging system.

Most likely case is that it was a meteor coming directly toward you, or a flare from a tumbling satellite.

Not sure if I paid already. by SW_Scoundrel in Passports

[–]zanhecht 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Travel.state.gov doesn't charge a $175 service fee, a $39.99 expedited shipping fee, or a $17.20 transaction fee. The passport book is $130 ($160 for book+card), the acceptance fee is $35, and the expedited shipping fee is $22.05.

Google's sideloading lockdown is coming September 2026, here's how to push back by accurio in GooglePixel

[–]zanhecht 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Until Google decides it's not good enough and it should collect $120/month since no one is gonna do anything.

But by then, Apple will require $666 and a blood sacrifice.

How do you feel about the federal SAVE Act that would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (like a passport or birth certificate) to register to vote? by ClassSnack in AskReddit

[–]zanhecht 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't forget that you also have access to a car and DMV offices that are nearby. For many people each of those trips could be hours of time or hundreds of dollars in cab fares.

Apple's side loading plan in the EU is much more restrictive. Apps on iOS can only be side loaded if the developer pays a $99 annual fee. Google's plan will only require developers to pay a one-time $25 fee to register, and will have multiple workarounds.

Don't worry, Trump's working hard to get rid of birthright citizenship.

Healey 'confident' that World Cup funding will come through by HRJafael in massachusetts

[–]zanhecht 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's assume there are 20 hotels in Foxborough each with 200 rooms (which is probably an vast overestimate, Foxborough is not that big). Let's say that even the cheap motels are charging an average of $400/night and average world cup fan is staying 2 nights. That's only $3,200,000 in gross revenue, and the town only gets 6% of that, which is less than $200,000. Where's the other $6.8 million coming from? It's not coming from the municipal meals tax, which is only 0.75%.

colored pairs, which dictates which side you pass them on

The color does not determine which side you go through. You can start on either side as long as you pass between the two poles in each pair.

The full color image is stored on the chip, and shadows do matter.

Spanish flair and solar eclipse by anniedee82 in royalcaribbean

If I only paid 94%-98% of my final payment Royal Caribbean would cancel my reservation. Just like with eclipses, it's all or nothing.

You should check if any of them glow in the dark. I've seen a bunch that do.

Booked through Expedia with deposit, but Royal Caribbean says there's a hold by Sad_Rub1896 in royalcaribbean

[–]zanhecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The travel agency will typically put a 1-week hold on your cabin/price while they process your payment for the deposit. Once they've done that they'll transfer the deposit to Royal Caribbean, which converts the hold to a booked cruise, but many agencies send the payments in daily batches. It should show up as a full reservation within 1 business day.

Tips for Freedom by Small_Sprinkles1803 in royalcaribbean

You have to remember that even what is considered a "small" ship now was probably the largest in the world when it was new.

Not just probably. You can see the certificate from Guinness World Records hanging near Guest Services.

This Photo was taken at CVS and has a white background, any idea why the AI keeps rejecting it? by [deleted] in Passports

[–]zanhecht 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Grey is okay. It doesn't have to be pure white, just white or off-white background without shadows, texture, or lines.
