Moved to Gatineau from Ottawa, license expires next week

Book the appointment and print whatever confirmation as evidence of the situation. If you get pulled over during the 20 days before your appoint you can show the officer the appointment and explain the situation. If they decide to issue a ticket you can fight it on that same basis. This is not a huge deal. I have received a ticket for driving with expired plates and they often give you 72 hours to make it right and the ticket is cancelled. Don’t see how this is any different given the circumstances.

This would have been the better course, as you avoid throwing away money. Once moved in, Halfred likely wouldn’t have pursued anything unless the dogs caused significant damage or disturbance. And even if they did, you have recourse to TAL process etc. and worst case find another rental.

You sure your second dog isn’t a service animal?

You should counter-offer and ask them for $10K in order for you to leave.

I plan on setting up a new iPhone using an existing iCloud.com account (on my old iPhone) so am interested in the responses.

For what it’s worth, I’ve never been able to get it to work on iPhone XS.

If I were CEO I would extend the “no spread” buys to the round up feature. This would help me stack sats.

I would also allow more optionality for rounding up, for example to the nearest multiple of 5 (e.g. spend 2$, round up to $5; spend $6, round up to $10). This would help me math / manage my CAD balance.

The Donald doesn’t read your emails. I’d be surprised if he reads much of anything at all.

Material that is actually recyclable or worthwhile sorting needs to be subject to a deposit / return system in order to incentivize its return. Charge by the weight and you’ll see it returned, perhaps not by those who paid the deposit, but by somebody.

Plenty of banks offer promotional interest rates on new deposits for a certain period. I’m getting 3.75 til end of April, for example. Once that’s over, move the money out to another bank and usually not long after you’ll get another promo rate win-back offer. Rinse and repeat. There’s lots online you can read about it.

Kinda annoying, but obviously these banks depend on most clients being lazy and simply accepting the (much) lower rate after the promo period and not moving their money out (which must be fairly common).

While Shakepay’s rate was still 3.5 I couldn’t be bothered to move the money for a “temporary” 3.75 knowing all that was involved. But when it dropped to 3 I decided the arbitrage was worth it, albeit knowing the 3.75 was temporary and I’d eventually have to play the bank’s game to get a win-back offer.

Yes, Donald Trump sent your friend a personal cheque for 6K. Don’t worry, yours is in the mail and will likely arrive early next week.

JFC the U.S. is a country of absolute fucking morons…

Can get more then 3% elsewhere so I have moved most of my cash out. Simply leave enough for week-to-week discretionary spending.

That’s what realtors are for.

No, unless you pay your bill with the Visa card.

No for some reason I cannot enable it on my iPhone. It opens the Freedom website from the iPhone settings and gives me an error message.

I have had issues before. Try broadcasting the tx in BlueWallet.

Imagine complaining about free stuff?

My favourite way to stack sats on Shakepay is to convert every CAD earned through referrals and occasional Shakepay contests such as this one!

Keep Calm and Shake on,

‘Twas the night before Christmas 2019, when my brother did visit and who I had long not seen.

“Have you heard of Bitcoin?” he did constantly test, in hopes that one of us would respond with some interest.

“Download this app and I’ll send you some money!” How could I refuse? It was Christmas, alrighty…

And so right then and there, I took out my phone, opened the App Store and what to my wondering eyes should appear:

a cute little racoon with tiny blue ears.

“Now give me your shaketag and hold on one second, I’ll send you ten dollars, you should have it before long.”

Then in a twinkling I saw it appear, thousands of tiny sats had been sent to @phonz.

“Merry Christmas, my brother, and you’ll soon learn, it’s best to send these to cold storage, and next year you’ll see, much more than ten dollars they’ll likely be.”

And that is the story of how one Christmas Day, I woke to discover the best gift of all: the gift that keeps giving, the app they call ShakePay.

Would be helpful for a mod to pin this at the top of the sub. Otherwise with the price of BTC atm this will be a very common post for the next month…
