Talk to your loan servicer, a lot of them have put forbearance options in place because of covid, including not collecting of defaulted loans, so if you went into default recently it might be reversable. That said, I doubt paying it in full would remove the default from your credit history, that's what rehabilitation if for.

I registered a domain name through squarespace. My renewal is coming up. Is there a cheaper alternative to where I can keep my domain name? I'm just confused about if I have to stick with squarespace. I have a lot of spare time, and I was thinking about teaching myself how to design a web-site. I know html, but it seems like web-design has kind of progressed beyond that? I was looking at Wordpress. Where the hell do I get started?

You're not locked into Squarespace forever (although I don't know how you'd want to go about porting out your data, if you have a lot of it). Transferring the domain is mostly a matter of getting an authorization code from Squarespace and giving it to whatever new service provider you end up using. Cheapo shared hosting will usually have one-click Wordpress install so you don't even have to do real computer stuff, just click a button and login and then customize it. It's super popular so there's a million free themes, you really don't have to know anything. Just for reference I pay about $35 a year for a small Wordpress site using a host I found in SA-Mart.

My web-site really doesn't have that much information on it, just some old pictures I've taken. How complicated is the process of transferring over? I just don't want to lose my domain address, but I'm at a loss as to what to do since I registered the domain originally through squarespace.

It's not really that complicated, it looks like Squarespace lets you export a file that you can then import into Wordpress. You could even temporarily make a free site on wordpress.com to test the import as an intermediate step before buying new hosting and transferring the domain. Hell, if messing around on wordpress.com leaves you thinking you'd be satisfied just keeping it there, a site with a custom domain is $48 annually and might save you some trouble. Squarespace doesn't own your domain (or host it or anything like that), they're just the go-between that you registered through. Like how AT&T doesn't own phone numbers, if that makes sense.

I found this figure while out walking today. It's stamped "1997 - Saban" so I'm assuming it's Power Ranger related maybe? Anybody know?

I'd assume it's the "glow in the dark x-ray Cyclopter" one of the six by process of elimination. I can't find much more about it though.

Grevlek posted:Apparently in all the COVID fun, I've defaulted on my student loans! I defaulted on my loans a while back. I believe that going with the rehabilitation is the way to go. If you just pay in full now it will more than likely be marked as paid in full but you'll have those marks of late payment. If you take the program and do the 10 months they require it'll be like you never defaulted or missed a payment. I would confirm this but that's how it worked for me.

How do I get YouTube to stop toggling the autoplay switch to on? As far as I can tell it only happens on desktop. I can't find any account-level settings, but possibly I'm missing it. I doesn't switch on every time I watch a video, but often enough to drive me crazy. I want it always off!

I think it's browser-specific, so if you always watch from the same browser on the same computer then it'll stay off but as soon as you switch browsers or computers or load a private window it'll be on again.

I have a flight booked on Delta for a moving-related trip on memorial day weekend. They changed my itinerary and added 2 extra layover cities - lol but I understand. However! leg 2 takes off hours before leg 1 leaves my home airport. So, uh, impossible itinerary. Anyway I no longer need to make the trip and I want to cancel, and Delta is offering no cancellation fee and credit that lasts 2 years. Fine. But, the cancellation tool on their website - which they even sent me a nice email last week inviting me to check out - doesn't work.  Honestly my first thought was "Delta is sabotaging their own system so people can't cancel  " because I know they're hurting financially, but I think it is actually screwed up specifically for me, because they changed my itinerary to one that's impossible, and now my trip data seems kind of glitchy. Like I got the missingno flight and everything for me is glitching out now. I don't see any chorus of anger on the internet about the online cancellation system not working so it really might just be me.Their phone line is quoting me a wait time of 10 hours. It's been this way for many tries 4 days in a row now. I'm not sure what other recourse I have. I tried to call my credit card company and ask for a chargeback since Delta is not rendering services, and they told me to file a claim, but the claim process seems to be for refunds for travel I already cancelled due to illness, so I don't think it applies. Any thoughts? Is there a better thread to ask for this?

It's probably something else, but have you tried from a different browser? It's the sort of error message that reminds me of when I have disabled too much JavaScript crap and I try to do a payment somewhere or something.

Yeah I tried it from my phone's chrome and my computer's Firefox. I guess I haven't tried the computer's chrome yet. e: Yeah, same deal on chrome on my laptop. I even tried going to delta.com from scratch and putting in my info to find the flight, rather than clicking the email in their link - same result. I actually got quoted a 3 hour wait time by the robot guy at Delta, by far the shortest one they said yet, so I am going for it. Wish me luck. If it doesn't work out (with my luck they'll pick up after 3 hours and say they can't hear me or some poo poo and hang up), I'm still interested if anyone knows any other avenues to fix this. alnilam fucked around with this message at 17:26 on May 13, 2020 |

Is it possible/practical to keep dress shirts tucked in and firm to the skin through a sit/stand cycle, without wearing those elastic things that clip to your foot/shoe? I'm reflecting on how I dislike business casual, and am trying to figure out if this is a quirk of my build, a faulty habit, or inevitable. Also, neckties look so stupid.

That, also maybe you need a longer shirt, or better (i.e. tighter) fitting pants? I've only ever had that problem with shirts that turned out to be too short for me

They make garter style shirt stays if the hangup is wearing stirrup style. I remember the rotzis at my school wore a weird belt around the bottom of their asses that their shirts clipped to but google is failing me on what those things were. Other than that, you just have to get used to retucking every time you stand up because mens business clothes are ridiculously unfunctional and we should have moved on from them fifty years ago.

Air them out for a lot longer, we're talking days here. I'm an ex smoker and smoke gets in everything and takes a while to get rid of but it will go, it just takes time. Sun and fresh air will do the job eventually.
