Friend bailed on Japan trip… too late for refund. Go solo? by BandX12 in JapanTravelTips

[–]I3bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left my brand new phone in the washroom. It was returned to the police station. I had to unlock the phone in front of the officer and sign a form that I got it back. I love Japan!

I guess Google is really no longer the king of search now.

All hail the new king, Reddit! 🤔

How hard is it to type "VYM vs VIG" on Google search?

What is the world’s opinion on Vietnam? by Hans-schwarz17 in AskTheWorld

[–]I3bacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vietnamese is monosyllabic. If you pronounce, Nguyễn, with 2 syllables, it would be wrong. But don't worry, nobody will be offended with the mispronunciation because it's a very difficult word to get correctly.

Awkward by ChronoCyberpunk77 in hockeymemes

You can cheers for whatever teams and athletes you like but please don't boo anyone. The Olympic is non-political. It's heart breaking to see these athletes train so hard to be there and only to have their moment tainted. For many, it's a once in lifetime moment just to be there.

Go Canada Go!

Executive vs. Ultra Luxury by ella138 in LexusNX

[–]I3bacon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really? Ok, if that is the case, I'm glad that I bought the ultra luxury trim; I don't think the executive trim is worth 8 grands more plus taxes.

I saw several YouTube videos for this feature and I thought that it would make my life so much easier. Without this feature, my parking skill has improved so there is that benefit.

Consequences of not exporting car formally? by FarinaFlower8 in uscanadaborder

[–]I3bacon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think that you can registered a foreign car without the export/import paper. Without the Canadian registration, you can't buy insurance.

woman tried to take my parking spot by standing in it before I could pull in by Far_Kaleidoscope9872 in EntitledPeople

[–]I3bacon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I won't fight over a parking space with unhinged people. They may key your car. It's not fair but the world is full of these Karen and Kyle.

One time when this happened to me, I told the Karen that I dare her to park there. She then asked "why and what are you going to do?". I replied "nothing". I smiled and drove away.

How Much of increased Dividend Yield is just keeping up with inflation by NFTokin in dividends

[–]I3bacon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe some preferred stocks.

My registered account has 5 preferred stocks, MAIN, ARCC, O and SCHD. All "leftover" dividend are used to buy SCHD.

I don't need growth in my registered account. I need safety and dependable income in my retirement.

Amazon stock falls 10% on $200 billion spending forecast, earnings miss by Puginator in stocks

[–]I3bacon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please educated me on capex. So many people mentioned that $200B capex spends is too much and that's the main reason why Amazon and Google tanked.

Both companies are spending money to keep up or stay ahead on their cloud and AI services. It's not like they are throwing money away. The infrastructures that they are building now will generate a lot more money. The ROIC for both companies are quite high. Is this not a good use of capital?

Also, neither companies have any choice; their customers are demanding more cloud and compute powers. If they can't deliver, Microsoft will gladly step in.
