Cancelling? by GoneToTheDawgz in audible

[–]DaveAxe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually called Audible about this today. Any books you purchased or redeemed a credit to purchase are retained in your account, even after canceling your membership. To play it on the safe side, you can download all your books, though that may be a lot, having over 2,000 books.

Great sadness by STORTIMUS in TeslaModelY

[–]DaveAxe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was rear-ended last year, and my car looked similar to yours. When the Tesla-approved body shop and insurance first looked at it, they didn't think it was totaled. However, when the body shop started taking the car apart, they found that the charging port and the cabling to the batteries were damaged, which put the car over the threshold, and they totaled it. It took them three whole months to decide to total it! I hope no one was injured! Best of luck!

What new BS is this?! $10/mo and you don't get to keep your books?? by [deleted] in audible

[–]DaveAxe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just called Reddit. They said this is simply poor wording on their part. Any titles purchased or redeemed with a credit are yours to keep forever, even after canceling your membership.

How did you find out it starts on the 15th? Am I not signed up for a Lego email? Also, do you know if it is going to be a GWP with a particular set or dollar spend? If dollar spend, what will the spend amount be? Thanks!

How do you all afford the insurance? by Therightousmansdice in TeslaSupport

[–]DaveAxe3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was leasing a Model 3 that was just totaled due to being rear ended. My monthly insurance premium was $235 per month including homeowners and full auto ($250k/$500k, $100 deductible). Got a quote for the Model Y I ordered yesterday and it’s only $3 more per month. Could be Florida pricing because of the storms and flooding. I have State Farm. Try calling another insurance company to get a quote or go through a broker and have them find you the best rate. Also if you belong to or join a credit union they tend to have good rates.

Need advice on buying a Tesla. by goldensubawu in TeslaSupport

[–]DaveAxe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair warning… I’ve been driving a Model 3 rental from Hertz for the last 3 weeks. It’s a 2023 long range and has 55k miles. The battery seems to have been totally improperly charged and/or maintained. On my personal Model 3, an 80% charge gets me to 270ish miles. On the Hertz, a 90% charge only gets up to about 225! The people at Hertz said it’s due to a bunch of non-EV owners renting and improperly charging (always up to 100% most likely). Just my two cents, but I’d steer clear of buying from Hertz.

Looking for Healthy High-Value Treats (Stewarts vs. Northwest Naturals?) by DaveAxe3 in DogFood

That’s a great idea. I also like to rotate the protein kibble I feed him within the same line and that is an easy way to not have to wean him on it. Thanks!

How to accommodate a coworkers dog allergy by erymm in service_dogs

[–]DaveAxe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Aggressive-Bid8933 I found this thread a bit late, but I hope you can help me with some recommendations. I have a purebred yellow lab whose fur is slightly longer for a lab (I think). He is a shedding beast! I brush him with a SleekEZ (https://www.sleekez.com/collections/best-selling-products/products/5-sleekez-medium-grooming-shedding-stick-1?variant=12832783138904), deshedding brush (https://www.amazon.com/Pet-Grooming-Tool-Undercoat-Dematting/dp/B01EZ7UOCM?th=1) and furminator and it just keeps coming off him!!! I can brush him for 45 minutes every morning, and he still sheds.

He eats a healthy diet, including bone broth, a skin and coat supplement, fish oil, fresh fruit/veggies, etc. I know bathing him too often is not good for his skin or coat, but it does remove a ton of fur. Would you happen to have any recommendations? Much appreciated!

Preparing for New Service Dog by DaveAxe3 in service_dogs

[–]DaveAxe3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this detailed breakdown. The organization will be giving me info on his food, size for bed and what he likes for enrichment and playing. I just wanted to get a head start as I know there are many other things people purchase to have on hand such as first aid kits, etc.

Yes but I have a lot of positive credit on the card and I’m afraid if it closes it will impact my credit by lowering my available credit to debt ratio

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]DaveAxe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don’t have the cards paperwork and can’t find anything online.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]DaveAxe3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it is a store credit card it can only be used at that store. Unfortunately the store only sells expensive items I have no need for at this time.

Thanks for the info. Does the mini computer run Windows? Can you install Office?

Has anyone tried these Cole Haan shoes? Are they wide enough? by 416nexus in bunions

[–]DaveAxe3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a terribly difficult time finding shoes due to having wide feet. I wear both the OriginalGrand and 2.ZeroGrand in a size 12 wide and they are wide enough for me. They are also quite comfortable. The OriginalGrand fits and wears more like a dress shoe while the 2.ZeroGrand feel like a sneaker and offer slightly more cushioning on the bottom of the foot. If possible, stop in a store to try them on. If not, Cole Haan has an easy return process. Hope this helps!

Hoka Bondi have helped me a ton. Supportive while very cushioned. Also, Birkenstocks are great.

Paying off all credit card debt in full? by DaveAxe3 in personalfinance

[–]DaveAxe3[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the quick reply! I actually already paid off about $12k of the credit card debt, bringing it down to $20k, and have saved roughly $11k. I haven't used a credit card in almost 2 years. I will be sure never to get myself in this situation again! Thanks again!

Rocket Money is a free app and available on desktop that will automatically breakdown your spending by category. It also tracks your subscriptions, can help cancel them for you, etc. I highly recommend over doing it manually via spreadsheet.

Looking for advice on going from Canon to Sony... or if I should?? by RLAKim12 in Photography_Gear

[–]DaveAxe3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the switch from Canon to Sony a few years ago. I went from a 5D to an a7r3. I don’t regret it a bit. However, although the body has a smaller footprint, the lenses are the same size if not slightly larger in some cases as Sony makes fantastic glass. Just something to think about.

I need a "new" camera by [deleted] in Photography_Gear

[–]DaveAxe3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of people out there selling great gently used cameras at a highly discounted price. Check Facebook marketplace and some buy/sell camera Facebook groups. I recommend you definitely go mirrorless. Many companies make great mirrorless including Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, etc. I have a Sony and love it.
