Ethan Collins said:ENC and PayPal I just realized yesterday that you can actually link your ENC device directly to PayPal to check your balance and top up whenever you want. In my book, this is such a fantastic feature! It’s like having a quick way to check your fuel account mid-trip and add funds on the fly if you're running low. Honestly, it's a shame they don't promote this more often.
Yeah, I use that too. Honestly, it's a top-tier feature.
Man, what a movie. Honestly, those opening credits were killing me at first until I finally got used to them. It’s sitting at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes for good reason though.

Honestly, if I hadn't stumbled onto your post on JP Morgan Chase about paying bills, I probably wouldn't have even heard of American Express
Look, I get where you're coming from, but there's no need to get all worked up about it. If PayPal could run into issues, anyone can. I'm not exactly out here playing devil's advocate or anything, but at least they reply to emails instantly and actually help you out right away.

Constant crashes. I tried restarting my phone, I even nuked the app and reinstalled it—nothing works. It’s just broken. Honestly, what a total waste of $10 money.
I guess you could try verifying through your residency permit—that fourth option—but then it just asks for a driver's license or ID anyway. That’s how I managed to get through it.
mellowhawk33 said:Does that premium Visa end up charging you any transaction fees?
Nah, nothing for deposits or withdrawals. I guess I was trying to stack those premium rewards points by doing it this way, but I ended up disabling the premium Visa today.
Amanda Wood said:When paying bills... how long is the delay for you guys?
From the moment you hit send until the payment actually clears? 🤔
With my Chase Visa premium, it usually hits the next day, but honestly, it sucks because I get the exact same wait even when I'm doing direct transfers straight from Chase.
ironcyclist58 said:Is anyone else having trouble downloading their payment confirmation as a PDF?
It’s totally broken for me. I actually reached out to support to get them to just email me the confirmation manually, and they told me they'd pass it along to the developers to figure out what's going on with the glitch.

$343 I went through State Farm via their mobile app and snagged a 5% discount on a Walmart gift card. Last year, it came out to $1,060 You end up getting some solid reward cards; using them at Chevron makes gas about 30 cents cheaper, which brings the total down to $133 plus you get plenty of discounts from various partners
Since I didn't pull the trigger immediately, an agent from State Farm gave me a call. He told me his quote was $417—but when I pointed out that the initial offer they used to bait me was actually $1,028, he was left completely speechless. It’s ridiculous; it ended up being $1,450 even after all the discounts were applied. This shady maneuvering is just getting worse; we're talking about three different prices from the exact same company on the very same day, with a massive 40% discrepancy. Honestly, it shocks me every single year how they pull this
First choice is Europcar via CompareExhaust $357
Thanks, but honestly, they’re garbage. Last year, a buddy of mine sorted out my insurance and told me to head over to a specific local branch (he'd sent the quote via email). So, I show up there, and they tell me they don't even have my policy on file, but they can "make one" for me right then and there. Then they tell me they can't honor the price that was listed $67 above because I was running late with my registration. I just stayed quiet and took it. Not happening again this year.

I feel like Frozen was a simpler, more fairy-tale style movie, whereas Frozen 2 feels more complex and adventure-driven. The characters have matured, which is something the film really leans into. I guess they probably went with this darker tone and more serious narrative to make sure the kids who grew up with the first one wouldn't just tune out—since there's way more fiction involved here—while still hooking the younger crowd with those eye-catching visuals kids love (like the snowflakes at the start, the diamonds, the water horse that turns into ice later, and Elsa's magic, which is just beautiful). My daughter, who’s about to turn four, was absolutely captivated, though she has been pretty obsessed with Anna and Elsa lately, so that probably helped.
The theater was mostly filled with kids, roughly ages 2 to 12, and I was actually surprised by how well everyone stayed focused until the end, even the little ones. Nobody walked out, nobody was crying, and every once in a while, some kid would shout out a comment, which was honestly pretty funny and cute. It was interesting to watch the different ways people reacted to the humor—the kids were all about Olaf and his goofy antics, while the adults seemed to vibe more with things like 😁 Lost in the Woods.
Regarding the soundtrack, when I first heard Let It Go, I didn't think it was particularly catchy for a Disney movie, but after a while, it just kind of stuck in my head. Maybe it’ll be similar with some of the songs from Frozen 2, where they might grow on you more after a few listens.
I think they did a solid job portraying Indigenous culture; it felt subtle yet serious and seemingly quite authentic. In America, this will likely pass without much notice, but where I live in Canada, this is a huge topic, and they’re even starting to incorporate more Indigenous studies into the school curriculum.
The four elements are presented through spirits in the form of creatures like a lizard, a horse, wind, and giants. All this elemental stuff reminded me of Bessonov's The Fifth Element. Anyone else get that feeling? At one point, it even gave me Lord of the Rings vibes—first with Elsa being all white, and then that moment where she stops the water... all that was missing was a "you shall not pass." 😁
Before seeing it, my impression was that the plot might feel forced just to justify making a sequel, but after watching it, I don't really think that's the case. I suppose we adults had certain expectations because of the first film, and maybe the movie would have felt different if it stood entirely on its own without the first one existing. The story feels complete across both films, and you don't strictly need one to understand the other, despite how they bridge Frozen to Frozen 2 (some of those bits are really just there for laughs and aren't strictly necessary anyway). But I guess that doesn't matter to kids; they just want to follow their favorite heroes and their adventures.
When the dam breaks and water flows through those fjords, for a split second, it actually looked like those horse-shaped waves you see in front of Rivendell.
It’s honestly beautiful and hits you right in the feels. I feel like it really prioritizes the bond between sisters instead of just following that old cliché where some prince or queen has to swoop in and save the day.
sry, but that was a total rookie mistake on my part. I had the router and its power adapter plugged into the same outlet strip that had a built-in USB port—which was actually powering the router. Once I finally separated them, boom. Everything's working fine now.
Does anyone know if I can actually pick up an adapter like eth > coaxial > eth around here? I looked online and found those MoCA adapters, but I can't find anything available locally in the States. I'm currently running a powerline adapter that uses AV, so maybe switching to AV2 would be a better move? I guess maybe that's where I'm hitting a wall—I just can't seem to get the speeds I'm actually looking for.
I think I might actually give what you're suggesting a shot. I’ll check out some other influencers too, and honestly, I hadn't even considered that whole chimney thing—that could actually be a killer option.
I don't want to start a whole new thread, but I’m dealing with a massive networking headache. My router sits on the ground floor (running on 2.4 GHz), but my office is up in the attic, and there is just no way I'm tearing apart the walls to run Ethernet cables through the whole house. Right now, I’ve tried using Powerline adapters to send the signal through the electrical wiring. It works, technically, but it’s garbage. I’m getting huge packet loss whenever I try to stream anything through GeForce Now, and even switching over to standard Wi-Fi isn't much better. If I plug directly into the router with a cable, everything is flawless, but obviously, I can't do that from upstairs.
So, what am I looking at here? I need to get some kind of 5 GHz setup going—which is what everyone recommends—maybe paired with a signal booster, an extender, or whatever else actually works. Does anyone have any solid suggestions on what I should actually buy?
Also, can I actually recommend a specific router to use with fiber internet, or am I stuck using whatever junk the ISP provides?
Ever since this latest update dropped, my PC won't shut down properly. Every single time I boot back up, Windows just restores all the programs that were running before I hit shutdown. I already tried disabling "Turn on The fast startup" and messing with the "Intel Management Engine Interface" update, but honestly, nothing seems to work. Is anyone else dealing with this mess, or does anyone actually have a fix?
