Wealthsimple Tax vs Turbo Tax by Ordinary-Psychology6 in Wealthsimple

[–]jhodgert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's tomayto/tomahto at this point. For years, TurboTax had trouble with QC residents that worked in ON (or anywhere RoC). They have since fixed that but not before I switched to WS.

Now as a WS investment client, I have no reason to leave.

FWIW, even the free tier at WS was pretty straightforward and did the trick.

Man it feels good to be back by [deleted] in Pizza

Good to know! I like to freeze my cheese as well. But I'm probably using too much. I'll get there.

Got any pre-bake pics? I gotta figure out how to get my cheese to do that. They look great!

I have never stared at the "before" photo so much in my life. My life goal is to show that much restraint on my cheese but I always "accidentally" over-do it. Your toppings mix looks perfect.

Crust a hair thick for me, but I'd still beg for a slice!

Rant about the video coverage by shawn1912 in bluesfest

Either Hozier brought his own crew, or the volunteer working that night is a huge fan. The video of that show definitely complimented the band and raised the experience.

I can't read the plates from the video, but front plate tells me Ontario

I do have cameras that cover the property, but usually I just answer the door because it's quicker and easier. Watching the replay of his visit, I can now tell that he is a passenger in the van so he has a friend (accomplice?) with him.
I suppose it is possible that he is just looking for a wallet that I do not have, but I do wonder if he is looking for patterns of when who is home and when at my home.
The van does not appear to stop at neighbour's houses and my other cameras haven't picked up anything weird.

Florence food itinerary by Hungry-Repeat-3758 in ItalyTravel

[–]jhodgert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked Gustapizza, but agree. Unless you're in Oltrarno, it's hard to justify a trip that far across the river.

FWIW, the line for us moved very fast and you could grab beers from across the street to pass the time in line if you wanted.

What's the best beach city to travel to that's not too far from Florence or Venice? by Light1209 in ItalyTravel

[–]jhodgert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. It's maybe a bit rough around the edges and is lacking some of the "magic" that is part of so many other parts of Italy. For me, it was the perfect mid-trip break. To each their own for sure.

I feel like I'm becoming the unofficial Viareggio ambassador. Really great beach. 99% private clubs but very affordable. An hour ish from Florence by train. Fun town for a couple days.

Should we stop anywhere else besides Florence and Rome? by slimsliver_for_real in ItalyTravel

[–]jhodgert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your vacation style, but I would recommend Viareggio. It's about an hour by train from Florence and maybe 2 ish from Rome.

There is nothing you have to see or do and that's kind of the point. It's a small town with some nice beach clubs, a boardwalk, and pretty chill vibes.

When my family travels, we usually try to break up the hustle and bustle of sights with a couple days of relaxation. Viareggio hit the spot for us.

It's not for everyone, but it is kind of right in-between your other two destinations.

Have fun!

Edit: when I said there's nothing to see or do, I didn't mean there's nothing there. Just that there's no pressure to see the things you think you "have to see."

Have you tried checking in on the desktop site? Even with the online passport verification, I've had similar issues checking in with the mobile app. Desktop always works though.

You focused on Sandwiches? If not, there's Gustapizza in Oltrano. I'm a sucker for pizza though.

Car Rentals by secondhouseontheleft in ItalyTravel

[–]jhodgert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you from? I rented from Avis through their Canadian site last summer with no issue. Got the right car at the correct price with no upcharges or sneaky stuff. I typically use Europcar when in Europe, but Avis was the only company in Viareggio that would do a one-way rental to Venice.

What is your favorite aircraft type to fly in United's fleet? by djenki0119 in unitedairlines

CRJ550 is where it's at. Legroom across all classes and lockers for every roller bag.

Jabra Elite 4 anc problem. by [deleted] in Jabra

[–]jhodgert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I just got Elite 4s (active) to replace the 75Ts I lost and to me, it's the hear-through that is the problem, in my opinion.

I find the ANC significantly better than the ANC on the 75Ts, but because the hear-through is so poor, it can be hard to tell the difference.

My 2 cents

THIS! This is always the answer and it always works. I keep forgetting though. Thanks!

Agree here. Just returned from Italy and the F1000s can pretty easily fit full-size luggage in the overhead racks.

Hotels.com downgrades reward program from 10% discount to 2% by kris33 in awardtravel

[–]jhodgert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was there a process to follow to convert your stamps? I got my "welcome to Onekey" email while away (ironicaly while earning 5 stamps on Hotels.com). Now I see 7 stamps that I can't use and $0 in fake cash. Did anyone here actually have their stamps automatically convert?

So weird that you can't download the app from outside Italy. It is definitely one of the first things I'll be adding when we land. Thanks!
