So, it really was kind of a dumb question, I just hadn’t looked hard enough, but leaving it for posterity.

Hi, I’m new to the Everest (and climbing/mountaineering) rabbit holes. Sorry if this question is obvious.

According to Wikipedia, Jimmy Chin (of Meru fame among other things) has summited at least twice, and skied “from the summit” once. The latter is supposed to have happened in October 2006. As a newb, I’m super curious about this. I though summit attempts basically only happened in early summer. I’m also curious if he was part of a big expedition, used oxygen, etc.

By family, of course.

Parent lives in my state, which has great healthcare due to a number of prestigious universities, but parent is being evicted from residence. Sibling in another state will take in parent, but they want me to let parent pretend to live at my address “half the year” in order to, I guess, continue accessing the regional low-cost healthcare programs or something? (Parent is impoverished through own behavior and choices.)

In addition to the folly of letting a parent who I never plan to have live with me establish some sort of legal tenancy at my address, what is the specific crime here, fraud?

Just so I can explain when I tell them no.

Have been trying all week from various platforms including Windows and iOS. US/adult user.

I'm looking to get a secondary checking account to fund BTC purchases. I'm buying a house in a few months and I don't want to risk my primary bank account being compromised in any way--or for anything to look weird during mortgage underwriting. I would be using mainstream sources (gdax, coinbase, etc). I'd like to be able to fund the new account from my existing bank account.

Can anyone recommend an online bank account that definitely doesn't freak out with transfers to exchanges? Ally, Simple, etc?

Thanks in advance.

Website insta-errors (with no error explanation) on perfectly clear ID photos from PC.

iOS app acts like your verification is pending for a few hours, but then reverts to "hey, you need to get verified to buy!" a while later. No explanation offered.

Is there another site that would like to take my money if coinbase won't? Won't I have the same problem at gdax? How about gemini?

Looking for recent experiences of adult US users with valid photo ID.

My oldest credit card is very old, having been converted from my first secured card as a whippersnapper and eventually turned into some Citi card.

I basically use this card maybe once a year because it confers some decent venue seating sometimes through LiveNation. It's been two years since the last time I used it for this.

After hanging out on pf, I'm thinking I should keep this CC open since it contributes so much to my age of accounts. It has crappy rewards and I don't carry CC balances, so I randomly threw some groceries on it the other day.

The actual question: if I pay this off immediately, will it still reset the clock in any meaningful way, or does no one really know when banks c

We're going to be moving into our first single-family home next year.

The technologies I already have/am familiar with:

Alexa

Hue

After Echo devices, iOS devices are the most frequently used to control stuff (I let HomeKit talk to the Hue stuff, basically).

Harmony (2 x smarthubs)

I'm comfortable with most consumer technologies, but only have a few Android-ish devices (FireTV boxes).

I also have PCs and a small consumer NAS (Synology) that can be 'always on'.

For security, I think I'd like front and backdoor cameras, an alarm, iOS/SMS alerts, and at least a small amount of recording. Might add window/door sensors later. I don't want to pay for a monitoring service, but I also don't n

This was my first time filing an amended return (discovered I had deductions I should have claimed). The deadline for doing this online was back in October. Is this "16 weeks" just a standard disclaimer, or are returns really taking that long? (Asking for anyone who has had to amend recently.)

(Just the act of mailing it in was so weird after e-filing so long, and it's hard to imagine it actually getting there and getting processed, heh. Needless to say I'm not counting on ever seeing the refund.)

US, NC

We signed the contract on a new house a few weeks ago. The contract was just signed (ratified, maybe?) by the builder this week. By which I mean to say the lot is just an empty lot still.

Our realtor recommended a mortgage broker he knows who can apparently get the same deal as the builder's preferred lender (some amount of closing costs). Which, okay, that's fine in theory, and we got a pre-qual letter from them (among others).

But today the mortgage broker emailed us to ask if we were ready to sign the loan disclosures now, and if we would prefer to do it electronically or in their office.

1. They literally haven't even broken ground on the house yet.

2. No explanation has be

We hit the nearest warehouse recently and discovered that all the sofa styles we like have only fabric options we're not fond of. Apparently other people feel this way, because there are several aftermarket companies that make custom slipcovers in different/better (okay, softer) fabrics. Does anyone have experience with any of these? Thanks in advance.

I have a friend who is bad at adulting, and so is his wife. They've been split for at least 20 years (he is now 46), 10 of which he's been living in another state. About every year or two she contacts him saying she wants to actually get the divorce paperwork done, because she wants to get married to someone else, or because she doesn't want her kid (fathered much later) to know about her previous marriage, etc ... but she never follows through. Obviously, my friend doesn't either.

Friend is a decent earner (low six figures), no gf/spouse, no kids of his own. If something happens to him, does his estranged, but still legal wife in FL get everything? Is she entitled to his SS benefits?
