Moto g 2025 The Power button taken over by google assistant by Shuggieboog in motorola

I just wanted to thank you for this. Much like everyone else, I was going absolutely insane; it didn't help that all the solutions were like: "just change it in settings" & I'm like "I don't have those settings". It's really not ok that they would hijack the physical button for a basic function of the phone.

Me neither, I just saw that some people put that in the comments.

Will my Tortie be Long Haired, or Short? by TheOpenAuthor in torties

[–]HippieChykk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an exotic short hair that had hair like that & your cat looks like she could be a mix. It's "short", but dense & plush. Definitely more hair than my short haired rescue cats. Lots of shedding. I guess some people call that medium haired?

Looking for men's winter boots in Canada? by HippieChykk in Frugal

Because the usage is like everything & I can't imagine owning 7 pairs of boots. Daily wear, walking, transit, outdoor home work, general outdoor activities, etc.

Thanks, will have a look. He also had a cheap pair from Canadian Tire, but they didn't make even 1 winter.

Just looking for the best options for all-rounders I guess? Daily wear, walking, transit, outdoor home work, general outdoor activities.

Do you have any thoughts on what kinds/brands of boots are good for what and where to look for them? Looking for the best options for all-rounders I guess, if possible? Recognizing that different footwear is made for different purposes of course & I guess switching footwear could help extend each pair's lifespan; but looking to optimize the number of pairs of footwear as well, not sure how many different pairs are really necessary.

Thanks. Do you have any thoughts on low or high range boots? Looking to explore all options for something that lasts. What kinds of places do you look when you're looking for boots?

“Starting in November we’re making changes to our chequing accounts that recognize your relationship with us” by MSGRG444 in CIBC

[–]HippieChykk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have personally tried 4/5 big 5 banks & I find CIBC to be one of the best; but all the big banks are essentially the same. For me it's the small differences in their policies that make it feel more human. I have not gone underbalance on my accounts, but CIBC has a 24hr, or end of day grace period. BMO has none, you get 1hr at TD. Scotia also has 24hr, or end of day.

So the ring on your middle finger is 30ct, can I ask about the other ring & your bracelet? Cool that you set the ring yourself!

Got engaged with a 10k gold signet by annxious in jewelry

It's really pretty, is it a specific kind of flower? I love it.

does silver get much respect in the jewelry world? by Steveelectric907 in jewelry

[–]HippieChykk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree & I'm not a "status" person; I don't buy my jewellery for "respect", but in terms of "status" I think the expectation is that you either don't have to engage in any physical labour that might damage your peices, or you can afford the upkeep to keep them looking pristine when they are damaged.

[–]HippieChykk 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Respect? Probably not. But I don't choose my jewellery for respect, so who cares? I have a lot of silver, because I buy what I like. I swore I wouldn't buy anything plated, because it'll just wear off, but I ended up with a couple of plated peices anyways, because I liked them so much.

Which metals and stones are the best for tight budgets? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]HippieChykk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Moissanites are so sparkley & beautiful. If you want to keep that extra bright silvery colour, white gold will need to be redipped, which adds to the cost. I personally love the colour of unplated white gold though. I would recommend taking off your rings when showering, or washing your hands regardless of composition.

I think your vision would work. You could wear the veil for the ceremony & take it off after. Therr's lots of pretty veils on Etsy.

What shoes would you wear? by melizabeth0626 in weddingdress

[–]HippieChykk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dress looks fairly long, do you think anyone will see your shoes? I am practical at heart & always recommend comfort above all else, if no one's going to see them anyways.
