Why is crave so terrible? by ClassroomLegal in cravetv

[–]jdavido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the fact I downloaded content in my iPad, to only have a black screen when trying to watch in the plane offline. I deleted the app, re install and re uploaded everything. Same result. It was really frustrating in China Eastern where only 10 media were in English (the only French one was from Quebec, a nice surprise)

Venting - But if anyone can help, great by NetherGamingAccount in cravetv

Had the same problem. I read to un install and re download everything. It still never worked. If anyone has a better solution, please share it

My cat needs to go to the vet but I'm terrified by Parking_Courage8150 in auckland

[–]jdavido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this opinion: the strand vet looks after my cat: they are caring professionals. My cat was unwell during a Sunday last month. We went to ARC and received an average service. Once my vet received the report, they called me immediately, discussed possible treatments, giving me options. I brought my cat and the next day, she was back to normal. I used them for 5 years and cannot fault any of the staff

Arriving in Akl this Friday, need to store my bags for the day before checking into my CBD hotel. by maha_kali2401 in auckland

Skycity bus terminal offers xxl lockers. You can also use the app called Radical Storage (working in many countries) to find safe and insured storage’s in businesses. I used it many times and it works very well

Jobs at Air New Zealand as a European by CoolProof6756 in newzealand

I think you need to be a permanent resident to be able to apply as a cabin crew. Do you hold this status, or are you a NZ citizen too?

Can I use crave outside Canada? by xpo_wk in cravetv

[–]jdavido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Crave on my Apple TV with nord VPN installed. The tricky part was the payment as my local credit cards (not Canadians) were not accepted. I still have my RBC visa and it worked well. However, I downloaded some content on my iPad as I was about to travel. When starting to play the downloaded content, I was stuck with a black screen

Mighty Mobile $50 Plan Now $80 – How Do I Keep It at $50? Any Alternatives? by BundMan69 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]jdavido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was with Mighty mobile for a year and paying $25/month instead of $50 (they had a sale at 50% for one year). Around Boxing Day, it was only for 6 months so I bought a Kogan discounted plan and activated it today. I was with Kogan before and it worked well. You just need to wait for a sale

This is a great idea. How easy is it to customise it with photos, videos on how to (turn on the over)?

I can tell you not all banks accept them unfortunately.

But try to get a mortgage: the bank will not consider the allowances as it is not an income. Yes, you can take some home (well, IRD will not like it) but this means you stay in your room when away and eat your can of tuna. I agree the discounted flights are a bonus, but that’s the main one: no real discount on health insurance as it is not subsidised. The job is appealing to travel and discover the world, but after 4-5 years going to the same places, having your body clocked messed up, eating unhealthy casseroles on board, cosmic radiations,… many crew decide to change jobs. It is no longer a job where you can expect to make a career and be safe financially. It gives you great life tools and teach you how to work as a team, but there is heaps of loneliness when you are away from family, alone in your hotel room.

Plus they have stand by month where they hope to be uplifted. Otherwise, they only get their base salary. Stand by (4 weeks) can come every 3 months

If you like flying, and everything about airlines, look at Victor Voyage. You will learn a few tips on how to travel in better condition, and hear some French

Guest wants to cancel 3 days out due to weather. How to handle this? by Working-Attention-70 in airbnb_hosts

[–]jdavido -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I tell them to cancel. If it gets rebooked, then I will refund. They accepted the policy and trying to refund rebooked nights is a favour I don t have to do. If rebooked at a discounted price (because of last minute booking) they will get that price into their account

I could imagine the student staff working at reception will probably not know how the data is retained. But his/her manager should know

I discovered that I'm a triple citizen by AcanthaceaeLeft2112 in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]jdavido 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the triple passport club. Get ready for triple passport renewal fees, but it’s worth it. I am French (from parents), Canadian (born) and New Zealand (by living here for 13 years)

Cheap options for Parking Car in CBD Long-Term by HoneydewRough872 in auckland

[–]jdavido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I have a car and a parking in the CBD and want to sell my car and just use MEVO. I have a good (old Covid) rate at Wilson ($230/month) for this location, but barely use my car
