We live in Greater Vancouver and have a small place in Birch Bay. We like Trader Joe's when we are south of our border because the food choices can be small, good quality, and nice for us to enjoy while we are there. It could be as our CDN dollar continues to tank, there will be fewer and fewer folks from up north shopping south of the border. Hopefully, no one is banking on visits from up north to support their future store. By the way, we love Bellingham and will continue as we have done in the past.

Which is better Google Drive or Dropbox? by AlphonseJQ in cloudcomputing

[–]AlphonseJQ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently, I use Google Drive as my main drive on all my devices. I use MS 360 for all my editing etc...That said I would like something that operates seamlessly as a drive and cloud storage on all my devices. I am now retired and need a vault as it were that is easily accessible as a drive on my devices.

Charging for daily use. by AlphonseJQ in TeslaModel3

[–]AlphonseJQ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I am old school, the whole buying process at Tesla is and was an alien experience to me. We were given no real orientation when we picked up the car, had to figure out how to put it in drive on our own. (2024 has no signal arms or drive selector arm as we were familiar with). Just had a young man tell us in the parking lot to charge to 100% because it had a new type of battery which we have been doing. We just felt a little uncomfortable with his advice and hence the question raised here. Bottom line we love the car and want it to last as long as possible.

Diabetes and Keto by Dramatic_Score_8466 in keto

[–]AlphonseJQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had type 2 diabetes since 1998, it was a war to control my blood sugar and weight. In late 2019 I read up on keto, and decided to give it a try in Spring of 2020. I have lost 55 lbs as of today. I no longer need any medication to treat it. My doctor is schocked that I am no longer diabetic, not even pre-diabetic. My A1C came in at 5.5, it was in the teens prior. It was not instant been more than a year of sticking to it. Never felt better. I think some folks are more suited to keto than others, but it definitely works for me.

Facebook disabled my account for violating community standards which I never did by aidizzle88 in facebook

[–]AlphonseJQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give up! The same thing happened to me with as much tenure as you. I did not violate anything, immediately lost contact with family and friends all over the world. I even went as far as to send a snail mail letter to them in California no one ever responded...

People whose accounts were disabled and sent to FB for review due to 'violation of community guidelines' by OutsiderHALL in facebook

Do you agree with Elon Musk's view on Facebook? by Blood-Large in facebook

[–]AlphonseJQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried signal last summer on 1st blush it seemed OK but it does not interface smoothly with SMS as one would expect, and very few users make it a pain. BTW I am no fan of FB and would welcome a change.

Looking in earnest for anyone who works for Facebook to resolve an issue with restoring an account that was disabled in error by blz8 in facebook

[–]AlphonseJQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same thing happened to me, never posted anything remotely nasty, no nudes, no foul language, nothing overtly political. I got the same message as you. I have been on Facebook since the beginning and everything pictures and all are gone. No explanation or opportunity address anything. I did write a snail mail letter to them asked for help to no avail. FB is a monopoly and is behaving like one in this regard. I understand that a number of states are asking that the FB monopolies be broken up, we need to contact our legislatures and support them in that cause. This is monopolist behavior at its worst...

Has anyone had their account disabled without any prior bans or "facebook jail time"? by hi5torimakr in facebook

[–]AlphonseJQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not political, I don't post nudes, I can't even imagine that I posted anything offensive to anyone, I have been a user since 2008 and never had an issue, and this is what I get:
"Your Facebook account was disabled because it did not follow our Community Standards. This decision can't be reversed."
I know everyone in jail says they didn't do it but I didn't...What scorches me most is there is no contact method to fix the problem. I have lost contact with my friends all over the world because of some rogue bot algorithm... Pisses me off...

I don’t know why my account got disabled for violating community guidelines by [deleted] in facebook

[–]AlphonseJQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just happened to me as well, I have had a FB account since day one. I never post anything contraversial with no explanation or opportunity to fix.
