Chandler councilmember to sue own city, Scottsdale for $5M each

Good to know we vote for people like this.

We can add OD "stolen valor" Harris to the list with Jane "it's not about the money" Poston and officer Michael Collins who want a direct cut of our taxpayer money. It's a lot easier with a lawsuit than sitting in that boring chamber or doing real policework.

Facebook link to small details since article is paywalled I realize for most.

I think stealing signs and lying about your service record contributed more to your campaign problems, but I guess he thinks the taxpayers he serves should foot an imaginary bill. Trash like him knows the city will likely settle because it's cheaper than dealing with a long running trial. Screw him and the rest of the corrupt charlatans who "run" our city.

A built out city - with no more new, shiny master planned housing communities in the pipeline - with leadership like this is going downhill, unless we stop this corruption and stupidity right now!

Internal emails: Chandler police chief's residency compliance discussed as voters could decide on rule change

Local news. Kind of a nothingburger, but kind of hilarious some random tipster alleged how the new chief lives in Phoenix, not Chandler, and the city is now introducing a charter amendment that would tackle this very matter. My guess is he lives like 2 miles outside of the Chandler border. There are parts of Gilbert that are closer to the police station than many areas of Chandler itself.

BI Engineer Online Assessment (OA) for Amazon

I've heard that OAs have changed significantly due to AI concerns. Anyone who has taken this recently? I got the link a few days back but with work and personal life, I didn't have the time to really sit down and take it. I'm planning on taking it in a few days (email said I need to finish within 2 weeks and I got it like 5 days ago). I wanted to see if I should keep anything in mind.

My Python skills are honestly weak since I haven't coded much in my recent job and for the things I need to do, vibe coding is enough. I plan on practicing problems and asking Claude for sample questions to practice.

In terms of SQL, that's my daily thing. I would say that I've become a little more careless in recent months because I often relied on AI to fix errors without putting much of my own thought into the problems and I notice this when doing practice problems.

Honestly, my jobs nowadays is more like doing root cause analysis of data pipeline problems - think technical data analyst vs a typical data analyst. I haven't been doing much frequent BI dashboard (like Tableau or Quicksight) in the last year, so I probably regressed on that front.

Are there any reasons why I should not cash out PayPal Rewards Points immediately?

I'm aware they are killing off the option to do this by August, but I'm wondering if there are any options that allow you to increase the point value. All I see are pay at checkout or gift card redemption, but at the same 1 cent per point rate. Is that really the case? I'm planning on cashing out the points today, but wanted to confirm there wasn't some option to increase point values like you can with certain travel credit cards.

Umbrella with Real Debrid Authorization Issues

Every single Debrid providers authorization option works except for Real Debrid. I will select "Authorization" under Real-Debrid and the authorization pop up doesn't appear.

Chase Ink Business Cash Credit Card purely for phone, internet, and cable. How to tell if service is covered?

I have a family member that is using what I believe is a fairly useless card for their needs and rewards (Southwest Chase Visa). I recommended they get different cards for different purposes, especially things they can easily auto pay - like using one single card for utilities and forgetting about it. One card that piqued my interest was the Chase Ink Business Cash Credit Card because of the 5x for phone, internet, cable. They own a motel so these services are a substantial monthly bill for them.

The concern I have is how Chase codes the businesses that they use for phone, internet, and cable. For phone and internet they have Cox, which I'm fairly sure shouldn't be an issue. For "cable" they provide payment to a middle man for DirectTV (company called Allbridge), and this is where I'm concerned.

I plan to submit a partial payment for an upcoming bill using my personal Chase Freedom Flex card to see how the payment gets categorized. Anything I should keep in mind?
