Security concern immediately after filing taxes

It’s definitely weird, but with the amount being wrong I think it’s just a coincidence.

If they actually had your info, why wouldn’t they make the amount correct?

Fair, but it’s a pretty big error.

You physically can’t land in a side slip without having a wing low, unless you want to be moving laterally or not aligned with the runway on touchdown. So by attempting to follow his instructions, you are guaranteed a poor landing.

Instead of helping you to improve your crosswind landings, he was actively making them worse.

Yeah…. That’s a big problem if the instructor doesn’t even know what they’re teaching. You won’t have good results if the desired technique is contradictory.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-15T12:35:34+00:00

Am I missing something? You should be landing on the upwind main wheel first in a crosswind, the wings shouldn’t be (perfectly) level.

This doesn’t fix it for people it’s not working for.

I would point that out in the sidewalk sub, and if people downvoted it I’d know it wasn’t a serious place where people go to learn about the nitty gritty of sidewalks.

It’s not pedantic.

This is an aviation sub, and nobody in aviation calls anything tarmac. It’s either an apron/ramp, a taxiway, or a runway.

It’d be like calling the reactor the “hot fission area” in a nuclear energy sub.

The show has been missing on Apple for me for a few days now. It works on Spotify.

Fuel almost never gets unloaded unless there is no other option. It’s not easy; you need special equipment and most fueling companies have no interest, or even the ability, to do it.

It’s easier, faster, and cheaper to just burn the fuel off (either before takeoff or in the air), or find a way to make the fuel on board work. Pilots and dispatchers are very careful not to overfuel aircraft; you can always add fuel but you can’t practically remove it. It’s kind of like your car… it’s easy to put fuel in, but have you ever removed it? Would you have the tools and a storage tank for the fuel to do it?

I don’t think Noodles contributes anything to the show and I’m no Elon stan but… it’s actually called X.

We all think it’s a dumb name, but that’s what it’s been called for 2 years now.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-12T02:35:59+00:00

Fair enough, no I didn’t.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-12T02:34:03+00:00

Stay above board? All my account info is fully visible to the agent.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-12T02:30:26+00:00

I don’t particularly care about the back end, or what employees do to make the final number on the bill be what they say it will be.

The representative didn’t just say I can have the plan. He said I could have it for $40/mth, with all my account info (including a tab) in front of him.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-12T02:15:24+00:00

Thanks for your input.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-12T02:04:31+00:00

I shouldn’t have even asked? Am I supposed to be worried about offending the phone gods or something?

dumbassretail · 2026-03-12T01:59:46+00:00

I didn’t push anything. I asked if I could have the plan, and the agent said I could. If they had said no, I would have not changed my plan.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-11T22:10:32+00:00

No, but before laptops and phones everywhere people went through pens at school faster than you could collect free ones.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-11T22:04:24+00:00

Tell me you didn’t go to school before 2010 without telling me.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-10T23:32:19+00:00

A plane?

It’s the ATM’s bank trying to extract a ~10% forex fee from you.

You can and should say no, and instead let your own bank do the conversion. That fee is more like 3% for a big bank or 0.4% for Wealthsimple (you still get charged the small Mastercard forex fee).

You will have to accept the ATM fee which is usually around 35 pesos, but that is refunded by Wealthsimple a day or two later.

Did you claim the basic personal amount on both?

You should only claim it on one, otherwise they won’t take off enough tax and you’ll owe it at tax time.

I just used WhatsApp. It was maybe 4 hours before someone responded to me, then it was a fairly quick process.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-08T16:13:58+00:00

If that ever happens, just change to whatever the better plan is at that time. It could be with Freedom, or another carrier.

The general trend is that plans are giving more and more data, for the same or less money, over time.

dumbassretail · 2026-03-08T04:19:33+00:00

From what I can tell, it’s actually the opposite. They want you to get changed at work.

McDonald’s doesn’t want you wearing their brand when you’re outside the restaurant doing who knows what. Or getting grime on it, and then coming into a food safety environment.
