There aren't many people like you—I guess I'll take that as a compliment, though it isn't exactly 😁

Marital status is optional, education is optional—you can even just put "other" under occupation. You can list whatever phone number you want, too, even if it's fake, if you think that helps your case.
But you do realize that regardless of all that, the bank sees much more personal stuff about you without even asking, right?

So, you can actually get all this done without ever stepping foot in a bank or dealing with any of that usual headache.

It took me maybe 10 to 15 seconds—depending on whether you count the time spent verifying info with a security token.
And yeah, the hobby field is just an optional detail, as you can see in the screenshot.

So, here’s that infamous questionnaire from JPMorgan Chase I had to fill out through their online portal. I didn't even bother going into a branch—not worth the trip.



And then you have someone who’s been posting on this forum for ten years—leaving a massive trail of personal info right here—complaining about privacy risks. It's kind of funny. Any amateur could reconstruct your entire life in a few clicks, let alone the professionals who can dig up your data in seconds if they actually feel like it.
Now someone is actually wasting their time trolling over this data. Honestly, wtf? The bank already sees every single transaction and knows your entire financial situation—it’s not like they don't know what you're up to. So why does it matter if they ask whether you have a Bachelor's or an Associate's degree?

I honestly find it fascinating how much free time some people have to obsess over stuff like this. He’s been fighting this battle for months—all because someone supposedly asked him for details like a work phone number (which they didn't).
The kicker, which makes this whole thing even more ridiculous, is that all the info he’s acting like he’s guarding is actually just a few clicks away for the very official asking for it—let alone for anyone else looking to dig it up. The guy has been posting on forums for ten years; I guess you could practically reconstruct half his life just from his post history.

Laura Chavez93 said:I decided to head to the first major bank I could find nearby—one with a solid network of ATMs across the city and the rest of the states... and if Bank of America starts giving me any trouble
I’ll just move my funds over to another institution and close everything out, much like I did with Wells Fargo... ☕

Man, you're gonna single-handedly collapse the entire banking system with all those deposits and withdrawals of yours🙏

I don't see any real downside here—except for the fact that it’ll basically wipe out the gray and black markets entirely.

You go to an attorney, but they're bound by the exact same Law—if they're doing business with you, they have to collect all those same details a Bank of America would require 🤣

Basically, the whole matchup was a total disaster—you just had to swallow it. 😁 Anyway, the Federal Reserve is the one mandating the collection of those questionnaires, and they'll slap banks with fines if they aren't compliant.

It feels like we’re constantly needing to print something random at home—stuff like a Black Friday coupon or a hotel reservation. It happens at least once a month, which usually leads to a frantic trip to a local print shop where they charge me $1-$0.67 just to run a single page off a USB drive.
I want to end this cycle by picking up a small printer, though we don't have much space to spare. Given how little I'd actually use it, I've been thinking about grabbing something used. Is that a smart move? Or am I better off just buying a new one in the $300 - $133 range from brands like Canon, HP, or Xerox?

The requirements for this little thing are pretty basic: it needs to be compact, maybe have a scanner, and—this is the big one—the ink shouldn't clog up if it sits idle for a while. Ink costs matter too; I'd definitely prefer something that works well with third-party cartridges.

well, you could always just use the mobile token option...

Managed to get it working with BurnAware. 👍

So, I moved those three files over to iMovie—trimmed out the intro and outro junk that had nothing to do with the actual movie, and added my own title cards. Then I hit "save," which ended up taking about 4 or 5 hours.
Once that was done, the resulting file won't play in Windows Media Player. It’s an mp4.
This error pops up:



VLC plays it, but the video stutters or slows down sometimes—it doesn't look right, definitely not like the original VHS. Basically, it's a mess.

Maybe I'm missing some codecs, or maybe I just messed up the workflow somewhere?

I've got a bunch of old family movies on VHS that I managed to rip over to DVD.

Since DVDs aren't exactly the most reliable storage medium—long term, anyway—I'm planning to move everything over to my PC, but I've hit a bit of a wall.
The discs play fine in something like BS player, but the data on them is in some specific format that I can't seem to convert.

Here’s the situation:


So, this is one movie, but instead of a single file, I've just got a bunch of different files here. I want to merge them into one standard .avi or whatever other format I can actually save on a hard drive—and maybe even edit later on.
Any idea how to pull this off?

The same thing happened to me that the OP mentioned.
I was on corticosteroids—oral meds first, then eventually a topical cream.
It’s been three weeks now, but the pigmentation just hasn't budged.

Does anyone know if there's a specific cream that actually works to clear up these spots or discoloration faster?

Just got a notice from my insurance provider saying they’ve updated their collision coverage terms—apparently, I have the option to switch over to the new ones if I want.
Does anyone actually know what the deal is here? I really don't feel like calling the agency; those conversations always drag on way longer than they need to.

Is there anywhere in the West Side—maybe near Santa Monica or Culver City—where you can find a wrestling school or some recreational clubs for amateurs? Looking for something for beginners, basically.

hey, send me 50 bucks too 🙏

Apparently, you can "transfer" a no-claims bonus from father to son—basically, if the older guy has a 50% discount, the son gets it too. Of course, they both have to be under the same insurance policy.
Anyone actually know how this works?

If I don't have the cash on hand, I definitely don't have enough for a lease.

what plates are we talking about?
