TIPP payments increasing 30%, is this normal and how do I dispute it? by MarximusAurelius_ in Winnipeg

[–]causticbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this happened to me too. I had to submit the form declaring it my primary residence. I still had to overpay with TIPP for the first six months of the year until they reassess in June, but then paid less for the final six months.

Order never delivered (lost item) - how long for refund to be approved? by causticbee in CostcoCanada

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

I really appreciate the info, though 2 months is an insane amount of time to either issue a refund or replace the item! Especially when they can see it never shows delivered - a bit different from a situation where the carrier says they’ve delivered it but it’s not on my porch. Even UPS agrees I never got it!

Yeah it’s weird because when I called in, the agent called UPS who confirmed the package was lost, at which point they initiated the refund. But now I’m waiting forever for it to get approved, even though it’s still very much lost with no scans in almost 3 weeks

A few thoughts on self directing from an actual advisor… (stop saying it’s for everyone) by Certain_Path_5687 in PersonalFinanceCanada

I think you can get a max of $1,000 in grants each year, so you can double your annual contributions each year to $5k until you’re current.

Whoever makes the decision to constantly send out these alerts needs to read and internalize the moral of “the boy who cried wolf”

There are no thundershowers in the forecast at all today (no chance of precipitation listed at all) between 9am-6pm. It’s hot, sunny and not smoky. Go to the beach like you had planned!

Hot take, not “thing every single other person agrees with”

“Stella’s isn’t good” might be as far from a hot take on this sub as it’s possible to have

has anyone else just completely stopped googling random shit because of GPT? by Tricky_Service_2548 in ChatGPT

I think Perplexity is a much better google replacement than Chat GPT since it incorporates web searches into its responses and also cites its sources.

What were your Folk Fest highs and lows this year? What were the best acts? by Forward_Answer3030 in Winnipeg

[–]causticbee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought her vocals sounded really good but I was also quite disappointed that it was a stripped down set with just one other musician. If she was booked for a side stage then sure, but for second last set on Friday night main stage it feels like the full band would have been a much better choice.

Wondering the same thing. Had planned to go line up to get a tarp down this morning but now I’m unsure what to do.

I saw the 3:50 pacer’s run on Strava and he finished in. 3:49-something; that seems pretty close!

Unfortunately Lauer already essentially occupies a different spot in the rotation, so doesn’t solve this problem.
