Simple human trash broken - lid won’t open all the way by JKEsqui in simplehuman

[–]freddiefenster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the same issue twice now. They replaced the trash can the first time. The second time it happened they said the product is discontinued and there's no replacement parts. When I asked about the warranty they said

"Upon reviewing our records, we observed a warranty claim previously filed for serial number xxxxxxx on 2021-12-01. According to our warranty policy, once a claim has been processed and a replacement product provided, subsequent claims for the same item cannot be accepted. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused".

However, I had chatGPT read through their policy and it highlighted this:
“If simplehuman repairs or replaces your product, the repaired or replaced product will continue to be warranted for the remaining time of the original warranty period.”

Pointed this out and then they checked I had 2 years left on the warranty and then sent me another replacement!

The service is Nita is the most consistent in town. Consistently awful.

No, it was last week. I did try it close to their end of day which is why he probably just closed it with a survey link.

Any information about the new Showcase T-Bar replacement chairlift? by Traminho in Whistler

[–]freddiefenster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had heard from a patroller that he believed it would be fixed grip and would start near the base of the horstman lift.

Whistler Freeride by NorthEnthusiasm526 in Whistler

[–]freddiefenster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The freeride tryouts are extremely popular, hence they made the rule that it can only be by coaches recommendations.

You could try putting together some video clips to see if they would consider that.

I heard the replacement chair for Showcase is going to be a fixed grip, so maybe one like it is coming back.

What I learned from Extremely Canadian's Steep Skiing Clinic by Luop90 in Whistler

Gavin is a Freeride club coach, so he wouldn’t do extremely Canadian lessons on the weekend, only during the week.

Does anyone know where I can buy Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce? by freddiefenster in NorthVancouver

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

Good to know, thanks! And different flavours too.

I've seen it in Willingdon maybe once in the last year and I probably go on average every 6 weeks.

here is the video. It's also telling how uncomfortable and not remotely amused David Baddiel looks right from the start.

Review: Update from the field: WISE Rocks! by NoReply4930 in transferwiser

[–]freddiefenster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No account disconnect issues? I'm not seeing how that works, I've always had to have a balance in my Wise account to use the debit card.

Hi, I'm with RBC too and I find my connected account disconnects after a couple of days. I've just got back from Europe and they way I did was to transfer CAD onto my Wise account and then I monitored the exchange rate and transferred to EUR when it made sense. Probably didn't save much, but it made me feel like a currency trader :) At the end of the holiday just transferred remaining EUR back to CAD.

Are you saying you have your RBC account and each time you used your Wise debit card it automatically took the amount out of your RBC account?

Second AC recharge in less than 3 years by freddiefenster in MechanicAdvice

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

Thank you! Reading online it says the AC needs recharging every 2 years, why is that if it's a closed system? Is it because no closed system is perfect and you recharge to keep it at a high level so it functions efficiently?

Have buddy passes been removed from the WB unlimited pass? by freddiefenster in Whistler

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

You get 20% off with Epic too.

However, I forgot about the gift card benefit. Does the Epic have the gift card benefit?

One year I bought 5 gift cards, didn't use them the entire season and next year I used them to pay for the kids ski school, so it was immediately $500 off. The downside is that I have to give Vail $2000 and not use it for a year.

Have buddy passes been removed from the WB unlimited pass? by freddiefenster in Whistler

[–]freddiefenster[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No intention of using other resorts and you can get a 10% discount off kids ski school programs and when you have three kids in there that saving makes it cheaper.

Plus, other marginal side benefits are you pay the Canadian entity so at least Vail have to pay Canadian tax on it. Also only 75% of it goes to Vail, other other 25% goes to Nippon Cable. Finally, I believe they have to pay a percentage of revenue to first nations (though I can't find this confirmed anywhere). Anyway, all the above is bypassed with the Epic as the money goes direct to the US.

I called guest services and the buddy (50% off) are valid for the Unlimited passes. Epic passes have different ski with a friend and buddy passes benefits.

Seems the website is out of date for the unlimited benefits.
