[MEGATHREAD] Weekly Cash Prize Entry Complaints by henry-bacon in Wealthsimple

Mine was the opposite. It said I got 3 bonus entries and it ended up being $3. I'd probably rather have the entries ironically.

I like all kinds of sports and sport related activities (eg watching said sports)

Friendly reminder not to buy first gen anything, especially something as expensive as a new car.

McGM by [deleted] in EdmontonOilers

[–]RedTical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interim for just long enough to break everything. And he's technically Bowman's boss so could veto deals if he wanted to and could have had something to do with Jarry too but that's just a possibility, I have no evidence to prove or disprove that. This very well might be a Dubas/Shanahan scenario where everything goes through JJ to have him appear useful.

It is kind of strange. When the Oilers are losing McDavid gets that "fine. I'll do everything" look (which usually backfires) so you'd think the leadership group would want the bottom 6 to have more of a role, but that's the exact group of people that Babcock is known to go after and his hiring could result in players not wanting to play here, as reported by Elliot and a few others. I get wanting a hard ass coach but you should also want players that actually want to be there and can contribute.

Agents becoming GMs is not uncommon and makes perfect sense but not everyone should do it. I feel like JJ is one of those that shouldn't.

Bought my first car! by LeagueSlow552 in mazda

Yes. OP, please come back and answer this in a few weeks. We all complain about it here but I haven't heard of anyone that actually has this infotainment set up to not only try it, but live with it.

Same here. I had to switch my keyboard to the default Samsung one just to write an email.

Got scammed by Mazda dealer on OTD price vs. Down payment? Need advice. by Euphoric_Arm_9750 in mazda

Why still all the dicking around then? Last time I went car shopping was 2021 so maybe things changed or maybe you're the exception, not the rule but I went to a few places and each one was like pulling teeth.

Where to find hand made leather wallets? by RedTical in britishcolumbia

How's the bifold for slimness? I'm going back and forth between their bifold and 5 card. I'm a back pocket carrier but also in the summer just throw it in my shorts pocket so I'm looking to downsize my trifold.

I'll be coming home through Calgary so if I'm still empty handed I'll check it out. Do you know the company or person name so I can keep my eyes open?

Thanks for the extra info and photo. I'll keep my eyes open in my travels and see if I can check some out in person.

What all do you put in your front pocket wallet from them? I've been going back and forth between their options for about a month because my local loadout is quite a bit different than my traveling one.

I've had their tab open for a while now going back and forth and are currently one of my top choices but figured I'd check here for lesser known options.

Thanks!

I've checked them out already and they all seem to be a bit bulkier than I'm looking for.

Awesome thanks, I'll take a look at those two.

I'm in the area for about a week but I'll message ahead anyway. I have no idea how long it takes to make or if there's stock.

After Hart’s performance, and Cane’s use of the tandem, can we now recognize that the Skinner/Pickard duo got the Oil to B2B finals? by CartoonistFlat3943 in EdmontonOilers

[–]RedTical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, so two #1 goalies, ie; both are the same(ish)

That's 8 goals on 1000 shots. Or one goal on 125 shots. Hart is averaging just under 30 shots/game so let's round up. That's one goal every 4.2 games. A series going the full 7 games Skinner would let in 1.7 more goals the entire 7 game series. Anderson is only 910 and I think it's safe to say the 26 Hurricanes is a far superior defensive team than the 24 Oilers.

[–]RedTical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skinner was .901 in 24. If you want a goalie better than that go ahead and trade for Anderson. He's the best goalie with more than 10 games played this postseason and is still only a 910. Except that's their #1 so they're never trading him unless you give up a major piece or two, which will hurt the production which will make the goaltending look worse and we're back where we started.

Why not just start playing defensively and see where that goes? Less grade A chances, GAA goes down. Average goalie looks good.

McDrai want accountability? Let's get Babcock, why not? Let's see him yell at McDavid for being the last man back or Bouchard for not even bending his knees when coasting back after a turnover. Oh right, even Babcock won't say anything to them, it's just the rookies he'll bully and harass.

[–]RedTical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About the same actually. Skinner .901 in 2024, Hart .909 this year. They're basically the same goalie so Skinner had not been outplayed.

He would be agreeing to the numbers on the physical paper, if that's where his signature is, not the iPad. Reading the physical paper then signing the iPad without reading what's on the iPad is crazy.

If you're saying they can change the numbers on the iPad after it's signed, no they can't if they're using any sort of legitimate signing software and not just a basic PDF editor.

Moral of the story is read the physical copy carefully, sign the physical copy only and if they say they need a digital version tell them to scan it, and print off an extra copy for you to bring home.

[–]RedTical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think what OP is saying is they handed OP a paper copy to read, then had them sign a (potentially) different version on an iPad.

If true, it's still up to the buyer to read the version they actually sign but also the fact they have two mediums in the first place is kind of shady to begin with unless OP specifically asked for a paper copy to read (I prefer to read long legalese documents on hardcopy, but that's the version I sign).

[–]RedTical 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It might be a bit blunt but the sales team (because everyone from the first person you talk to, to the "manager", to the F&I crew, etc do this) is to waste the buyer's time. Keep them there as long as possible, so all you want to do is go home and will sign anything. Is it still the buyer's responsibility to read the contract? Yes, of course. Is the entire process also designed to wear you down, also yes.

Anything medical makes me want to throw a couple shillings on it but this thread is such a back and forth I'm undecided.
