I requested a transfer in mid-late Nov to my bank account, got an email confirming said request and so I sat tight and waited for the money to move, with indication it could take up to 5 business days to occur.

It's been about 2 weeks since I requested the transfer and nothing has happened so I called the way2go debit card support line and got through to an agent by selecting the "dispute/fraud" option and got a person on the phone after listening to the automated system rattle off all of my recent transactions (inclusive of the transfer request and fee of $0.50).

I was told by the Way2Go agent that "NV UI beneficiaries are not allowed to do transfers. Child support and other state benefits programs are allowed to but UI is specifically not allowed to do bank transfers whatsoever" according to the information they had on their end.

I escalated the call and spoke to a supervisor who told me essentially the same information, adding that if even if I "didn't read the provided information" that I agreed to the terms when I received/activated the card.

So I doubted myself as well as my own reading comprehension, and reviewed the currently published NV UI claimant handbook online which states on page 26 that recurrent and one time bank transfers are allowed with $0.00 and $0.50 associated fees, respectively.

Furthermore, there is information on the DETR website that indicates transfers are possible for UI benefits:

• Pay for all types of purchases quickly and easily.
• Access to your funds anywhere debit MasterCard cards are accepted.
• Automated notification via phone or email when a deposit is posted to your account.
• Transfer unemployment benefits from your prepaid debit MasterCard directly into your checking or savings account.
• Contact the customer service toll-free number at (844) 542-1115, to ask questions and obtain your balance.
• Online access to your account and personal transaction history.
• The prepaid debit MasterCard expires after 5 years.

I also tried looking into the "program documents" on the GoProgram website and if I try to open any of the PDFs listed, I get sent to a login page meaning I am unable or perhaps not allowed to view their published literature on the program details and services provided.

Which isn't sketchy whatsoever. /s

I've now read a number of threads in this subreddit about having issues and getting the runaround on bank transfers but has anyone else been told flat out that they are simply not allowed to do bank transfers for UI benefits?

The currently accessible service/policy information provided by UI NV appears to directly contradict what Way2Go is stating regarding their agreement with the state of Nevada.

The Way2Go website will certainly allow you to attempt a transfer and indicate that it will happen but in my experience it will not.

I'll be calling the NV UI hotline tomorrow at 8AM to get further information and will update my post when I can.

NEVADA STATE HISTORICAL MARKER No. 15: Tonopah

Location: Main Street & Florence Ave near the little gazebo in Tonopah
Jim Butler, District Attorney of Nye County, is credited with the turn-of-century discovery, which ended a twenty-year slump in Nevada’s economy.  American Indians originally used the name Tonopah for a small spring in the nearby San Antonio Mountains, long before Butler camped in this area in May 1900.  Tonopah became the richest silver producer in the nation and replaced Belmont as the Nye County county seat in 1905.  The mines spawned a railroad, several huge mills, and a bustling population of approximately 10,000.

The mines faltered in the 1920s, but Tonopah achieved long-lasting fame because of the prominent financial and political leaders it produced.  Many camps and communities followed in the wake of Tonopah’s boom, most of which have become ghost towns.

Hey all. I have some kangaroo mice who have destroyed some young trees. They dig down right by the tree, or close enough, and it looks like they eat the roots. Bigger trees can probably take the damage but my year old ones are wobbly in the soil now and I doubt they'll come back in the spring.

I've thought about laying hardware clothing in a ~4' circle around the trees because they can dig down and they can dig at an angle.

I trap / kill deer mice and rats quite well, but the kangaroo mice seem like they don't really give a shit about peanut butter on a trap plate. Not interested in cats at the moment because I don't want them murdering birds and lizards too. I've tried castor oil spray and granules and maybe it's worked but they've plowed right through some areas that were freshly applied.

I know you can open carry without a permit in Nevada. Is it pretty common? Especially since it's a rural state.

NEVADA STATE HISTORICAL MARKER No. 102: Goodsprings

Location: Revere St & NV-161 at the Goodsprings Community Club Ore deposits readily recognized in the faulted and folded limestone deposits of this district remained unworked until 1856, when Mormons began work at Potosí, establishing perhaps the oldest underground mine in Nevada.

Named for cattleman Joseph Good, the open springs area was developed into the mining-ranching community of Goodsprings by A.G. Campbell.

With completion of the Los Angeles-Salt Lake Railroad in 1905 and the narrow-gauge Yellow Pine Railroad from Jean to Goodsprings in 1911, transportation costs of the local oxidized zinc minerals were reduced.  The peak year of operations was reached in 1916 when Goodsprings had 800 residents.

This district, with the greatest variety of minerals in Nevada, produced a total of $25 million, primarily in lead and zinc, with lesser amounts of gold, silver, copper, molybdenum, vanadium, nickel, cobalt, platinum, palladium, and uranium.

My notes: Goodsprings is currently known on the internet for being a Fallout New Vegas location and hosting the fan celebration the last few years. Previously the town had another link to pop culture of its time- a plane carrying Carole Lombard and her mother crashed nearby and Clark Gable is said to have spent a few days at the Pioneer Saloon. I told you last week how the Pioneer Saloon has bar tops from Rhyolite.

Are there any towns with vibes that are very creativity focused? It’s OK if it’s touristy.

I got my first speeding ticket the other day which I completely deserved for going 68 in a 45 however, the cop gave me a break and only cited it as going 1-10 over so it’s still a civil infraction. The ticket still shows the speed I was going. Would I still be able to try to get it reduced to a non-moving violation through traffic school? If so, how would I go about that?

12 hours left on my donors choose project! Would be so grateful for any contribution!!

Near Mill City the other day. iPhone camera really didn’t do this justice.

Most Nevada thing I’ve ever tasted! It was amazing. It tasted like how it smells when it rains here.

What other Nevada flavors should I try?

I hope you all had a lovely day. Thanks for letting me gush about our beautiful state all week. I can’t stop thinking about getting back out to Beatty, Goldfield and Tonopah sometime soon.

Hi everyone,

I’m moving from British Columbia, Canada, to Reno Nevada in February 2025 for work, and I’m trying to prepare for the process of importing my car into the U.S.

I own a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, purchased in Vancouver, BC. I believe it was manufactured in Tesla’s Shanghai factory before being imported into Canada. I’ve been doing some research but still have a few questions: 1. Import fees: What kind of costs should I expect, such as customs duties, taxes, or other charges? 2. Compliance: Does my Tesla need any modifications to meet U.S. regulations, like emissions or safety standards? 3. Registration and insurance: How does the process work in Nevada, and are there any potential challenges for a previously Canadian vehicle? 4. Timelines: How long does the import process usually take? Should I start early, or can this be done after I arrive? 5. Any additional tips: Are there any less obvious steps I should be aware of when bringing a Canadian car to the U.S.?

I’d love to hear from anyone who has gone through a similar process or has specific knowledge about Tesla imports or cross-border moves.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I keep getting links to various liquor stores but can't tell if that's the 120 or 190 or I think a 151.

Need it to make hot sauce mash.

You guys ever have that miss connection: well I have. I was visiting Vegas and was at Henderson Target Saturday night to buy a sweater with a friend in the bathroom, and seen a girl with blond hair and bottom shirt 👔, which was rad 😎 and she was waiting for her brother. Was chillin and didn’t say much and she wave to me and ask where I got my shirt. Told her target also and giggle and smiling at me constantly . Anyway long story short I notice a book in her hands and asked about what is that: she said a gift book for her brother. Couldn’t remember what she said but yeah lol her brother came out and said bye wasn’t a long interaction just wanted to know if she could tell me what book it was 😮‍💨
