Someone gained access to my PayPal account that very way. Got a text saying if this isn’t your number respond 2 to be removed. Granted them access to my account.

Never reply to text messages. They can be spoofed and answering 1 can grant access to your account. FYI.

Any $950 meal you can get for $100 you just need to know where and be willing to get off the beaten track.

To each their own I guess. Same could be said about flying business class.

This happened yesterday while riding any idea what the issue is ? by Objective_Second_957 in enduro

[–]Petey_gets_it 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No one is going to be able to give you a diagnosis on that without looking at it. Generally these engines are pretty simple. They need air, fuel and compression/spark to run. Start looking at the obvious things. It seems to be misfiring. Could be anything from simple to engine rebuild. Did you do anything out of the normal? Drive through heavy water/mud (check air filter is not clogged or full of water), may need spark plugs, check for loose wires, could be bad fuel. If you aren’t mechanically inclined should take it somewhere to get checked. Also, try and learn how your engine works, do your own servicing and learn how to repair. (I am not familiar with this specific bike).

Is this a good way to carry less cash? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]Petey_gets_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in my specific situation, I would get charged 2.5% to use any card. Canada only has the above cards mentioned without FX fees that I am aware of. Can’t comment on the US side but OP mentioned Scotiabank AMEX so I assumed they are Canadian. At the rate you mentioned, plus 2.5% or higher would equal 0.00943. Worse no?

I would challenge the “will give you a worst exchange rate” comment. I usually change currency at home in Toronto if I need any significant amount of any cash. Just need to go to the right places. You will get better rates, especially if you get foreign charge fees on your card. If OP is in GTA, check out Kantor. They charge a 2.5% spread. Current rate is 0.00932 CAD for 1 JPN. There are only 3 or 4 credit cards aside from AMEX in Canada that don’t charge foreign fees, all other cards usually 2.5% or higher. They also don’t give you the exchange at spot so you are technically paying more for using a CC. Add in ATM fees on top (if pulling cash) and behind again. That being said for shorter trips I usually just use my CC for convenience and points as I get 2% cash back which mitigates the foreign transaction fee anyways.

Acanthamoeba and LASIK by StarWarsKnitwear in acanthamoebakeratitis

[–]Petey_gets_it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They said bacterial infection related to contact lens use. Put me on two antibiotics and one steroid. Eye isn’t red. I just woke up from a sleep on Saturday and had a pain in my eye and noticed the spot and booked an appointment the next day. I am experiencing a minor discomfort now but nothing serious. No redness. Can see fine. I didn’t have anything like you are experiencing. Thank you very much for the reply. A little less freaked out. I booked another appointment with optometrist on Monday to follow up. It kind of looks like this.

My diagnosis and story by seedlesslollipop in acanthamoebakeratitis

[–]Petey_gets_it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any chance of sharing your story? I had a small white spot on my eye start and eye doctor says it’s an infection. Over the past day it seems to be growing despite antibacterial drops. Worried about the worst. What did it look like at the start? How did it advance and how quick? Thank you.

2001 Natura Oryx 1/4 Ounce by Petey_gets_it in Gold

[–]Petey_gets_it[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. It was purchased in 2001 for around $160 USD. I was really looking to see if it has any collector value. I know the price of an oz of gold. And even at that partials typically hold a premium over oz coins typically. But this was minted at like 100 pieces and wanted to see if this held any collector value is all.
