What’s the cheapest way to move money between US and EU accounts?

Howdy yins,

I just closed my Chase account for my own reasons and about to make my move to Spain. I’m wondering what easy ways y’all have found to move funds from my US account to my EU account, the credit union I use here in the US charges upwards of $50 every transaction. I could use PayPal or something like that but they also take decent chunks, just wondering if anyone has found a path of lesser resistance.

Thanks!

Spotty connection to phone in car by location

Hey all! I’ve had a strange and ongoing issue in my 2016 Subaru Outback since I got it. Apparently this model has had numerous Bluetooth issues, but I haven’t come across reports of this one elsewhere.

My iPhone connects by Bluetooth and plays DOWNLOADED (not streamed) media, but the playback gets spotty at the same physical locations every day AND only during the hot months of the year. (That part is REAL weird.)

For a while I’ve assumed the actual Bluetooth transmitter/receiver in my phone was damaged, but then I recently switched cell carriers from a major one (ATT) to one of much lower quality (Mint) and the locations this happens in CHANGED. Not only that, but there are more of them and the blackout zones seem to last longer/are bigger than when I was with ATT. This makes no sense to me since this is even affecting downloaded, non-streamed media, but I don’t have any other leads either. I briefly switched to a different device too, same issues existed in more or less the same places. Any insight would be appreciated!

TLDR: My Bluetooth cuts out at weird and predictable times and recently changed when I switched mobile carriers despite not streaming what I’m listening to or using signal at all.

TIL mods exist

I've been playing for like 3 years now on steamdeck and, being used to the old steam workshop or else manual mods, assumed that steamdeck couldn't run mods yet. Finally got around to looking into creations and boy howdy have I missed a lot. Chalk it up to having minimal video game time at this phase in life 😪

That said, do yall (steamdeck players esp) have recommendations for rules-of-thumb for load order/organizing/troubleshooting? I've got a conflict breaking a mod somewhere, nothing serious but I sure would like to have my Star Trek phaser rifle mod if I can, I can see it in the workbench menu but I can't actually create it (resources fine, button disabled). Any tips greatly appreciated! 🖖

Instant priority mail

Hello everyone!

I just had my visa appointment for Portugal at the VFS center in NYC, and by the time I got to the airport a couple of hours later I already had an email from FedEx saying priority overnight mail was coming to me. I’m worried this means something went wrong but I’m not sure what.

The VFS agent seemed to be rather sympathetic and wanted it to go well, went over docs carefully etc. the only “irregularity” was that I left a notarized passport copy instead of surrendering my passport, but I had all the proper documentation to do so and she said it was all good. Does anyone have any insight as to what this might be? Being this fast I’m afraid it’ll be a problem.
