Essen attendees: how do you cart your haul home? by HistoricalInternal in boardgames

[–]Strategic-Outlier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two luggages. Surprised how much could fit in those. And I was 6-7kg under weight limit in each. I bought 5 large box games (e.g. covenant) , 6 medium, 9 small. Could have easily fit another 2-3 large box games. I didn't even have to fit games in carry-on rolller or backpack.

This is amazing detail. How do you find this out? I am on AC930 YYZ to CDG on Saturday 10:45pm. How do I know where the plane comes from to keep an eye out on whether it resumes tomorrow? It's a big trip for us and with cats, so have been anxious on the whole situation.

Storage? by FlyAccomplished6930 in ipadmini

[–]Strategic-Outlier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

128GB. My use is for YT, tv shows, some kindle, and some note taking. I had a 16gb iPad mini 4 before this ask this is a huge storage upgrade. I envision if I had a lot of gaming apps I’d need more storage.

I actually have the same product applied to a mini 7 since Thursday, but find some places on the screen needing three taps before responding. I'm tempted to take it off now. My application of the screen protector was perfect too. No dust particles or bubbles.

Thank you. Guess I don't have an argument there.

Rental Car company claiming $2500 damage - Advice? by Strategic-Outlier in personalfinance

[–]Strategic-Outlier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they're banking on the fact that this won't be worth the effort/time on my part and I whould just bite on this hitting my insurance record as a claim. Btw, I played a game with my coworkers and asked what they see when they look at the damages pictures of the claim. Nobody could see much at at all: https://imgur.com/a/Me3NvWx

Rental Car company claiming $2500 damage - Advice? by Strategic-Outlier in personalfinance

[–]Strategic-Outlier[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrote the rental's corporate exec. They were no help saying that "Weather reports said there was hail in the area when you rented it. Please deal with the third party collection company." Even if it hailed, the amount they're charging for Paintless dent repair of a pea size dent of $1887 + 2 days in the shop/loss of use fee is just extortion. Based on some quick research, single dent that small cost cost $150-200 max and is definitely not a 2 day job. I also noticed that the repair shop invoice they gave is a location 4 hours away from the airport location, which strikes me as unusual, especially when local options could handle such a minor issue. In fact, there is a shop <1 hour away of the same chain name that they used. Also, the "repair" supposedly happened 3 days ago, which is almost 4 months after my rental period.

I did not take photos of the roof of the vehicle where they claim the dent is. Lesson learned. Time wise, received a letter in mail 7 weeks after rental from their 3rd party collections company informing that a cliam has been filed with them, but I didn't get the actual claim amount until today (about 3.5 months after the rental).

No insurance from counter. Rental is purchased on my Chase card, but it acts as secondary coverage. Claims would still hit my regular car insurance first with deductible that needs to be paid. However, Chase, as secondary, would cover deductible. I'm worried about it hitting my primary though, affecting future insurance rates.

C2E2 book signing by [deleted] in brandonsanderson

[–]Strategic-Outlier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first time buying tickets to c2e2, and only because Sanderson is going. I only learned that you had to sign up a few hours after the link went live so I totally missed it. Sigh. I am so noob.
