Mastiff posted:If USPS's website says they've delivered a package to my home, and I never received a package, there is basically fuckall I can do about it, right? This happened to me like two weeks ago. After calling and getting no help whatsoever I rode my bicycle around the neighborhood and found that they delivered it to the wrong house, they were supposed to call me back within an hour and I didn't recieve a call for days, then the actual driver called me to see if I had "found the package" or if I wanted to submit a claim. I was tempted to just say I never found it since he delivered it to the totally wrong house, but I took the high road.

A Violence Gang posted:Not going to argue that but it's anything other than dumb conformity but if you're an American dude carrying an umbrella in the sun, you're absolutely going to get made fun of by like every single person who sees you. Many people might not even get that it's for the sun and would just assume you're a lunatic. I dont know if its just the area that I live in (DC metro), but I see people with umbrellas walking around every time it is super sunny. I know its weird, but I have just gotten used to it I guess.

Ana Lucia Cortez posted:Is there a way to block mail from a certain address? I'm talking about real SNAIL mail here, not email. An ex keeps sending letters and cards in the mail. As much as I've pleaded with him to stop, I still receive the occasional birthday card or "Hey what's up girl" letter... which my fiance is not too happy about. I don't think you can block a specific address, and after spending the last few minutes searching around I am pretty positive of that. Question one, why does your ex have your address in the first place. Still living at the same house I assume? Mark it return to sender and maybe he will get the idea?

Or maybe he sends you a request to your email from some scam "paypal" site (http://www.kongtechnology.com/2008/07/02/fake-paypal-email-and-paypal-website/) and then he sends you the money that way. Basically you send the ring and he has never sent you any actual money, just some fake out poo poo thru a fake website.

Rankine Over Gash posted:My girlfriends' housemate has come back to the flat a bit giddy. He's found a large amount of money in notes on the pavement (three figures) and is rather excited. However, without wanting to piss off any Karma Gods, we've all agreed he should notify the local police that he has found it. Am I correct in assuming there's a set time for it to be claimed before it becomes finders keepers? Any help or experience in this matter would be appreciated. My thought has always been if you find cash its yours. Turning it into someone will almost inevitably turn into that person keeping the cash. I suppose you could put up a sign that says "found cash on X street, if you lost it what is the amount" but that sounds like a lot of work to me.

Gravity Pike posted:Anyone have any advice on getting personal health insurance? (In the state of Washington, if it matters.) I work for a small (tiny!) business - about 4 people on payroll right now. My boss told me that he's not going to get a company plan, but is willing to reimburse me up to $250/mo to get a personal plan. I've never been on anything except the plan that my father got from his work; I have no idea where to even start looking. Anyone have any advice? I also have personal insurance, as well as my fiance and our baby. I pay $200 a month for me and our baby and my fiance's is about $150 just for her.

RaoulDuke12 posted:Holy crap, this website is awesome. I'm switching to Kaiser Permanente thanks to it. I advise against that. I had Kaiser when I was under my parents insurance and it is the biggest nightmare ever. It seems great to be able to go to a building that has a ton of doctors but it is the biggest pain in the rear end ever, you need a referal for EVERYTHING. You literally cannot get a cold checked out without going to ten doctors first. Apparently a few people on the Internet also agree with me: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...e+sucks&spell=1

RaoulDuke12 posted:This is my experience with literally every insurance company I've ever had. What do you recommend as another option? I have Anthem right now. As I stated earlier, I have Anthem now and my wife has Golden Rule. With both of us if we need to go to the doctor, we go. She was able to see a Gastroenterologist without so much as thinking about seeing a general practitioner first. With Kaiser she would have had to jump thru several hoops. That would be a very basic explanation of PPO vs HMO. Clarification: How does a PPO plan work? With a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan, you'll be encouraged to use the insurance company's network of preferred doctors and hospitals. These healthcare providers have been contracted to provide services to you at a discounted rate. You will not be required to choose a primary care physician (like you would with an HMO plan) but you should be proactive in only seeing providers within the network to avoid extra out of pocket expense. You will probably have an annual deductible to pay before the insurance company starts covering your medical bills. You may also have a co-payment for certain services or be required to cover a certain percentage of the total charges for your medical bills. With a PPO plan, services rendered by an out-of-network provider will ultimately cost you extra out of pocket expenses. We cannot stress enough the importance of staying within the network to minimize your medical premium dollars spent. How does an HMO plan work? An HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plan provides rich benefits. They offer lower out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. They offer less flexibility in the choice of providers than other health insurance plans. You will be required to choose a primary care physician (PCP) when you apply for an HMO plan. You will be required to visit your PCP if and when you need medical attention. If you need to see a specialist, you will need to be referred by your PCP. You may have no coverage provided for services rendered by non-network providers or for services rendered without a proper referral from your PCP.

This may be a stupid question but I have a wireless N router in my house and it works just great, but I allow my friend who lives next door to use my Internet and since I got the Wireless N my router doesnt even show up on his computer, I imagine it is because whatever wireless he has in his computer it is not N. He came over here and we plugged his old router (from before he was a cheap rear end in a top hat and got his Internet disconnected) into mine (ran a wire from one of the LAN ports on mine, into the main internet port on his) he can now pick up a signal from his router, but the Internet doesnt connect. I am sure there is something I have to do in order to make this work other than just plugging it in. Any ideas?

Is that you? I used this method and now my face is breaking out. edit: I have a question too. When I had a wireless G router my neighbor had full signal from my router and he could use my Internet with no problem. Now that I have a wireless N router he can't even see my SSID anymore at all. I thought this was because he didnt have an N card but he went out and bought one and its the same deal. I have no problem locating my SSID on all of my computers and phones when I am in my house.

Ok I seemed to have figured this out on my own. When he comes over here he can get a signal, I guess for some reason my N band router doesnt extend a signal further than inside of my house, which is weird to me since everything I read says that N should be faster and further extending than G, and he could get an 80% signal from six houses down the street. Also, even sitting right next to the router I am only getting about a 60% signal on my own computer. Any ideas?

My work wants me to take a webpage that already exists and make it into another page with a unique domain. So say for instance they want this to be a whole new page: http://www.hyundaiusa.com/financial-tools/ So instead of going to that url they could just go to say https://www.hyundaifinancialtools.com Is there a way to take that entire page and make a new page from it using the code or something. Clearly you can see I am not a web developer.

Then you can copy all the content from where it is now to the hosting and it should start working if everything else is set up right. I have already purchased the domain that I want. I didn't build the original page, but part of my job is managing some micro sites and blogs so this has somehow fallen onto my plate. How do I copy all of the content? Is that something I would have to get in touch with the web designer who did the site to get?

Is there a foolproof way to accept payment from someone, specifically someone in another country. I sell a lot of stuff online but mostly thru SA and other forums where the users have a solid reputation but a new guy in a forum wants to buy some sunglasses from me (for $250) and lives in Malaysia. I know paypal can be a joke when it comes to selling stuff and then getting screwed so I wanted to see if any of you guys had any suggestions. He also found my facebook thru my forum signature and sent me this:  It seems semi suspect but I cant really tell. Looking thru his ebay stuff it looks like he is buying similar stuff. edit: He just sent me his paypal email and I searched it and found this facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shades4u/148923845154505 His paypal is a "Non US verified Business member(new)" and I found his picassa account, which is tons of photos of Sunglasses: http://picasaweb.google.com/108804082813016780966/Shades4u02 Bojanglesworth fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Dec 12, 2010 |

Elijya posted:This actually sounds fairly legit. I would worry about sending money to someone on the other side of the world and never receiving the item I bought. But if he's sending you the money through paypal... you have the money, so it sounds alright. Yeah as far as transactions go it does sound pretty solid. I just worry about paypal. I myself (as a buyer) have disputed some poo poo in the past and they just yank the money out of the sellers account and close their paypal. I would be pretty chapped if that happened to me.

I personally have always been on the winning end of paypal problems, but I know plenty of people who had been had BAD. I had to dispute a transaction just a month ago over $300 that a photographer screwed me out of and all I did was say he didnt deliver what he said he would and they refunded my $300 and permanently closed his paypal account. In this instance I was 100% in the right, but I could have just as easily been a total scumbag and gotten my money back for no good reason. This is what worries me. Elijya posted:I'm the same, I've never had a problem. But I think we've both just been lucky enough to never encounter a major problem. I think people who have, and has paypal/eBay just throw up their arms and say "We can't help" to them get really pissed because it usually means they're out $50-60 or more. A drat FOG posted:It's not a "SA hive mind" thing, you can find stories all over the internet of people having their accounts frozen with no reason and other such garbage. It's not hard to understand or believe, since eBay essentially vaulted them into a monopoly over the whole "secure online transaction" market, although Google Checkout is here now too, which is great. Exactly, SO many people use paypal that there are bound to be problems, but the problems I hear are always exactly the same story. "I sent them the right item, they disputed it and I lost my money and item." I have read stories in the photo forums of people shipping $2k cameras and the guy receives it and disputes saying it was the wrong camera, then sends back a lovely thrift store camera.

Must be some bizarro Internet you are using because thats not what comes up when I copy and paste exactly what I typed into Amazon or Google. I have a feeling that will be the case for anyone else who does the same. My question still stands.
