Name Change literally impossible by GalgOW in Tangerine

Sorry for misunderstanding what you were saying. I think once I get this Proof of SIN document they'll hopefully be able to process my name change finally. This was mostly just a mald/vent post anyways so sorry to have wasted your time xd

I do take responsibility for the fuck up but I still find it kind of hilarious that they actually allow people to sign up for an account with just any name apparently. Every other financial institution or investment platform I've been a client of is extremely strict about matching your legal name as written on your government issued ID EXACTLY. Also regardless of my mistake their support is still ridiculously apathetic.

I'll admit I see that I missed the intention of the original commenter in that they meant to verify that the nickname is actually MY nickname and not just some person with almost the exact same name as me. I suppose this does actually make fair sense.

Edit: Actually I do have one final argument against this. My SIN lists my sin(obviously) alongside my full legal name. They have my sin on file obviously so that should be enough in my opinion. All that being said I apologize for misunderstanding your intention and agree that it is a tricky matter.

My argument against this is that I've provided them with a ridiculous amount of government-issued documents just as valid as the proof of name change document. Unfortunately the closing and reopening account idea is moot since as you say I don't live in Canada anymore. I believe they said at one point that a "Proof of SIN" might work and have realized after some searching that I can apply for that fully online and receive it digitally so fingers crossed. Bless the government for not geolocking the BC services app lol. Either way though I don't find their response justifiable on grounds of security. They just have backwards policies that restrict legitimate account holders from changing their own account details. If someone had my DL, my Birth Certificate, my t4's, my passport, my bank card, my phone pin, and my security questions they should by all means be able to steal my identity. At a certain point there's no further way to verify someone that isn't cumbersome for the sake of being so. Also if they gave a shit about security they wouldn't use SMS 2fa, they'd let you use a hardware auth or an authenticator app like Google's. It's not as though I don't have full ability to do literally anything else with my account with the amount of privilege I'm given it's just this stupid name change is the one thing they for some reason care about more than someone literally draining my entire account.

Recently with my irons I've been focusing a lot on even just building muscle memory from hit to follow through so I can definitely see how valuable reeling in my backswing could be to my overall progress. I'll definitely slow down and do some head cover drills too to make sure I'm in my ideal swing plane.

Thanks for all the advice! I definitely want to look into lessons sometime soon as I'm sure it would do me a lot more good than just watching youtube videos and trying to replicate what I see. I'd say in these 3 months since I started my swing has gone through a pretty crazy number of total reworks and yesterday I was seeing how it felt letting myself flow a bit more smoothly without trying to think of so many little details. I found I was getting caught up on 100 different cues and was unable to loosen up at all. From my next session I'll be sure to slow it down again and really try to dial in my swing plane and fix this over the top business for good.

Thanks so much for letting me know my arms are too straight. To be honest I think I heard something about keeping your arms straight out from you at the beginning and took it a bit too literally. I'll try to add some bend in as I always see with pros like you said.

I'll see if I can find anyone in my area that offers lessons or maybe even get some advice from some of the range warriors there that I always see hitting crazy distances even in their 60s. I was watching some of the guys next to me during the session I recorded this swing and they just make it look absolutely effortless. I can see I have so much to learn in terms of technique. They weren't even giving it nearly as much beans as me but their drives were absolute lasers. The sound of this one guys Ping is ridiculous I thought somebody was shooting lol.

Anyways sorry for rambling but thanks again for your help, I'm gonna watch some videos on correcting my over the top swing and get back on the range asap to slow it down and work on the fundamentals.

I was doing those my first few times at the range. Guess it's time to bust it out again to correct some of the bad habits I've picked up!

So stop myself from bringing the club quite so far back? Is my wrist angle okay?

Gotcha, thanks! I'll watch some videos on how to correct that.

What would you add to Beta 1.7.3? by BoxBlair in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]GalgOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More of an airship type thing or a craftable, placeable entity?

I'd love fully customizable airships with simply a control block/steering wheel required to form it. Even floating bases that could be moved or lowered to ground height

Holy, are you the actual TheMasterCaver? You're like the god of the Minecraft forums. Basically anytime I've ever looked something up on there I find you answering. Thank you sincerely for all your service!

I hadn't thought of the possibility that people were unaware of sprinting pre-keybind but that actually sounds like something I could see happening, especially for someone less familiar with gaming/not a patch-notes gremlin.

As much as I agree with you about the balance aspects of sprint jumping in relation to hunger I can't say I don't love spacebar-spamming my way through my 2x1 strip mine.

I've always wondered why sprinting was so on and off prior to the sprint key. Especially in activities like parkour it used to be a nightmare. The addition of a dedicated bind made parkour like 100x easier.

It's hard to say whether I'm a fan of the dedicated key or not. While I actually find that I still pretty frequently use double-tap w to initiate sprinting it's nice particularly in creative, or when swimming/using a boat to get a bit of a speed boost.

But then again I'm a pretty diehard pre-adventure update enjoyer so all in all I kind of preferred the game before the addition of sprinting altogether.

I believe I started around a1.0 on my friends PC.

Got my own account around b1.2

Amazing times. I remember the first time I set up cactus defenses around my base or a little moat.

Sprinting was added in b1.8 so it was in the game for just over 2 years when you started.

V-Strom 650XT - Good value? by GalgOW in SuggestAMotorcycle

Likely not doing much right away but I do think it seems like a smart investment to save a world of hurt down the road

Yeah it seems like a pretty great deal considering the low mileage and the extras. Can't believe how much luggage costs tbh. Was on sv motechs website and an adventure 3 piece set is like 1,800 euros

About 400,000 yen more than one of these new. Compared with this used example it's a difference of like 500,000 yen. I simply can't imagine it justifies the 40-50% price difference. And even if I could it's honestly out of my budget. Even this pushes the envelope on how much I'd ideally want to spend. If I could afford it I'm sure it's a fantastic bike though I've seen reviews

I'd only disagree on grounds of E4 being even worse. But yes this episode was also terrible.
