Grieving mother falls victim to Amazon one-time password ‘scam’
  • I just got an OTP package and all went well.

    If the problem is theft by drivers, then the OTP is counter productive as it alerts the driver that this particular package contains a high value item, so they can easily swap it or fool the system.

  • If I live in Mississippi, and I want to drive a boat to Mexico, and back. What is the proper procedure for that?
  • Currently sailing to Mexico. You need to obtain an import permit for your boat into Mexico, even for short time. It's called a Temporary Import Permit, TIP and at today's rate is just under $20. You can ask for it between 11 and 60 days before arrival in Mexico. The application is done online at https://www.banjercito.com.mx/registroVehiculos/# Top right switches to english if needed.

    You will need your boat registration (Federal Coast Guard Documentation or State issued Registration) Passport of boat owner

    If the boat is owned by an LLC you'll need more ownership proof.

    On arrival in Mexico you must contact immigration and customs. You'll need to fill in paperwork and present crew list and crew passports. Declare any alcohol, controlled medication and similar. Until you have sorted this you should fly flag Q, quarantine yellow flag. Once you have been given authorization (clearance) into the country you take Q flag down and replace with a Mexican courtesy flag, flown on Starboard side.

    Failure to do the above can land you in major trouble.

  • How’s everyone liking this so far?
  • The more I use it, the happier I am. I'm an old geezer who was tinkering with computers way back when 8K was an outrageous amount of RAM. This reminds me of why I became a geek to begin with.

  • Being patient is where it's at. In any case, many sellers include the "free" shipping in their costs, so it’s not rare to find a say a $20 item with Prime for $215 plus $5 shipping with another seller.

    Amazon often has free shipping over $25 so over the months we just slowly add items in our cart, then buy by just over $25 increments to get free shipping.

  • [Meta] Race weekend posts
  • Keeping FP1, FP2, FP3, Quali and Race in separate posts would make most sense for me. That way I would have less risks of spoilers. I'm always worried about spoilers since due to time zones and life constraints I usually watch F1 after everyone.

    No spoilers in thread titles would be a nice touch. On Reddit I actually avoided r/F1 until post race Monday.

    But whatever works for everyone.
