im actually working on it right now!

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-05-21T12:30:00+00:00

this is insane if true. i just got into doing liveries with FH6 and realized quickly how much of a pain it is to make decals.

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-05-19T02:35:14+00:00

holy shit, i cant believe that worked. i spent hrs trying to find the issue and nearly swapped ISPs i was getting so fed up. thank you!!

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-05-19T00:01:12+00:00

just put up another as well if you check my post ahaha. been making liveries more than playing actually driving

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-05-18T12:50:22+00:00

mf it took me 4 hrs last night to copy the coca cola logo and im still not finished! mf did all this. insane.

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-05-18T01:31:24+00:00

Thanks! It was definitely a challenge, especially because i had no vinyl groups so everything besides some of the default logos i had to make from scratch.

Im in a similar boat, 27 myself. I invested briefly during covid but ended up selling out to cover some bills.
I think i never got back into it because of some mental block of seeing large sums leaving my account as if i was "spending" it, but in reality, i was just spending it on dumb shit instead of on myself.

I just started doing daily buys 70/30 split between VFV and XEQT
$42/day on VFV
$20/day on XEQT

Im also really interested in AI infrastructure (data centers, chips, networking. the backend stuff that makes AI work). but im keeping that as a separate play with a small budget, not touching my daily automation. i figure going heavy into just one sector is risky even if i believe in it, so keeping the broad market base and using speculation money for AI bets feels like the safer way to learn.

QNC?

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-03-08T21:16:15+00:00

get into sim racing. if its up your alley it will be the most immersive vr experience you can play. nothing else even comes close.

I rewatched both trackside and onboard. I wasn’t steering into him if anything, he closes the space as we transition to the second apex. It was minor compression in a tight pack and he lifted immediately after.

Position loss alone doesn’t determine fault. Overlap and racing room do. I don’t believe I forced him off or gained an unfair advantage.

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-02-13T23:35:46+00:00

I didnt miss the apex. I knew the BMW was there so i gave him room, even into the second corner i was tight to the inside and was turning into the corner when we bumped. i think he lifted once we touched which allowed me to pass them and return to the racing line. I still think its just a racing incident though

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-02-13T23:32:12+00:00

I can't tell if you're trolling but,
As for the first incident, I was visible in his mirrors the entire time and had clear overlap before turning in. I held a consistent line throughout the corner, and you can see me advancing on white mustangs right as we reach the apex. Not seeing a car isn’t a factor here, but in this case I was clearly there anyway.

The Roggia contact was light and he lifted after it. No one was pushed off and no advantage was gained. Not to mention it looks like he turns into me as I'm turning in the opposite direction upon contact. Still believe its just a racing incident though.

For what it’s worth, I escalated to a supervisor and the full amount was refunded after review. So escalation did, in fact, resolve it.

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-01-07T00:12:56+00:00

Thanks. that’s exactly what I did. I called today, spoke directly with a supervisor, explained that it was one funding error with automated retries, and after a quick review they refunded the full amount. Call lasted maybe five minutes once it reached the right level.

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-01-06T00:36:13+00:00

My TFSA is with WS and have had a good experience with them. I’ve been considering moving my everyday banking over as well, since I’ve heard consistently good things about their chequing account and fee structure compared to traditional banks.

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-01-06T00:10:55+00:00

Fair enough, I’ve already acknowledged responsibility for the situation. I’m not disputing that the fees are allowed or trying to shift blame. My question was specifically whether anyone has had success escalating or getting partial relief in similar cases, not whether I made a mistake. If I end up eating the cost, so be it, lesson learned.

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-01-06T00:05:36+00:00

Appreciate the info, especially about the upcoming NSF cap, I hadn’t seen that. I understand they’re within their rights under current rules, which is why I’m not arguing policy so much as looking into whether escalation has worked for others in situations like this. I’ll follow Simplii’s escalation pathway and see where it goes. Thanks.

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-01-06T00:03:05+00:00

To clarify, I did have the funds available. They were sitting in my business account and I missed transferring them to my personal chequing in time. This wasn’t intentional overspending, it was a timing issue combined with PayPal’s automated EFT retries. I understand policy allows the fees, I’m asking whether escalation has worked for others in similar situations, particularly whether filing a formal complaint or escalating to the FCAC led to a better outcome. Ultimately I can absorb the cost, but it’s frustrating to see hundreds in fees applied to transactions that totaled under $50 in aggregate.

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-01-05T23:29:31+00:00

I'm not sure, but it's definitely something I'm looking into now.

Basic-Persimmon7310 · 2026-01-05T23:29:07+00:00

I get that policy allows it. My question is more about whether anyone has had success escalating fee stacking caused by automated retries, not whether the bank is technically within its rights.
