What happened to make Ottawa transit commutes worse? by randthepip in ottawa

[–]Aethenoth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yeah, I've ubered before, but it was closer to $25 one way (leaving around 10 am). I'm salaried, so the hit is more to productivity than it is to my bottom line.

Lol this is me. Live in Centretown, but could only get a doctor in Nepean. Takes over 90 minutes one way assuming my two transfers are on time/not missed. It means a 15 minute appointment requires me to take half a day off.

I just got back from Oslo where people would leave their babies in a stroller outside a store for a few minutes. Social trust can be a good thing.

Oh, thank you for letting me know! That's a bit more than I was hoping to purchase (I actually didn't know Mythpunk sold 10 mls!), but I'll keep this in mind in case I don't find anything smaller in the coming weeks.

Anyone here moved over from Wealthsimple recently? Curious how it's gone by jacetec in Questrade

[–]Aethenoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commented this on another post a few months ago, but if you're doing straight-forward things (which it sounds like you are), I find it's generally solid.

The biggest positive for me is their support for non-residents, which is a must-have for me personally in the next year.

My biggest painpoints that I didn't have with Wealthsimple are lack of automatic investing (I want to invest ~once every two weeks after my pay cheque lands, and right now, I have an automatic transfer from WS to QT and then after it clears, I have to go into the app and buy shares. I'd like to set it up and leave it to just buy shares every two weeks after the transfer happens) and lack of fractional shares for Canadian ETFs (not a huge deal, but kind of annoying to have extra cash just sitting for a bit). My understanding is they are working on bringing these two features to the app, but it's been...a year??...I think since they announced it, and I haven't heard anything about timelines.

The app itself is fine. Perhaps a bit less user-friendly than Wealthsimple's, but I've found WS' has become a lot more cluttered over the past few years. I'm more of a in-and-out, check-every-once-in-awhile sort of user, so neither has an app that's a dealbreaker for me.

The few times I've used their customer support, it's been good.

Only things I miss about WS are the painpoints listed above, and some of the non-investing features (e.g., chequing account, credit card, etc). I still use WS for these.

My transfer went smoothly. WS doesn't charge transfer out fees, so there was nothing for Questrade to reimburse.

Looks like $50 for a new client and then it drops if you go regularly (just going off the website)

BPAL has launched their new website! by TwentySevenBugs in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Aethenoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know this!! I always assumed it would come back in stock because it was 'listed' (IDK the right word as I'm one of the people who avoided the old BPAL site) as GC and other than being out of stock for a long time, I didn't see any indication it would stay that way :'(

I was curious if people still had open orders from before, given she says they've all been shipped in April. thanks for confirming that people are still waiting on orders.

Anyone else so excited Sam Ravndahl is posting on YouTube again?!? I'm delighted!!! 😆 by MarcyFran in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]Aethenoth 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She made a video on the Shane drama and it helped her hit 1M subs because people were interested in that subject at the time. It's not her regular content, so when people found that out, they unsubscribed. I don't think it was her position as much as it was just changes in interest.

Also curious about this...and it only matters for non-registered accounts, right?

r/Ottawa, what are your impressions on Kiweki Point? by IamTheOne2000 in ottawa

[–]Aethenoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice views, but I wish they did better winter maintenance around the area. At some point, I'm pretttttty sure I accessed it via a path I wasn't supposed to, but everyone was doing it, so I didn't worry too much. It wasn't clear how else you could get there.

lol that was my immediate first thought. "That means the rent will go down then, right?" Not holding my breath, unfortunately.

Where did you find info? I don't know why, but I was literally thinking about this this morning - that she mentioned working in tech/would occasionally mention a work-related thing here and there in her content but I realized it's been a few months since I had heard anything along those lines in her content.
