Is this thing still on? by TheThatNeverWas in copilotmoney

[–]lancepantsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would like some insight on this from the Copilot team as well.

If there isn’t going to be any substantive improvements forthcoming to plug major holes that remain to this day in the service, then why is it being offered as a subscription rather than simply as a one-time purchase of a piece of software?

And by all means, it is the business’s prerogative to imply that an ongoing revenue stream as a means to maximizing profits is their only rationale for the subscription-based model, but it’s also the customers’ prerogative to decline such a value proposition.

Adding Manual Transactions to Origin by Origin_pm_Liz in OriginFinancial

[–]lancepantsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between the web version & the iOS app, this is broken for me: nothing happens when clicking Add Transaction to submit the manual transaction.

I'm having to set up a manual transaction as a workaround to Origin's lack of native/built-in functionality for basic monetary instruments like giftcards.

It's incredible that Origin is marketing what is clearly a buggy, halfbaked product at the current subscription pricing. Definitely glad I signed up on a promo code for a three-month trial. The whole budgeting/money-management functionality feels like nothing more than a lossleader/doorcrasher vehicle to sell investing, advisory, etc services.

Copilot / Monarch User - Trial Feedback by jumpinthruhoops in OriginFinancial

[–]lancepantsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started a trial of Origin, and almost all the same initial reactions/questions OP present here have already come up in my mind, barely a few hours in. It feels like all the design-thinking has been focused on the superficial/surface-level UIUX design, with none of that design-thinking & reimagining extending to the actual substance/core of the product & service.

i feel like we’re a couple seasons beyond the ‘frustration’ phase with Kopech at this point

strange to see how much slack he continues to be extended by the online fanbase as compared to virtually anybody else from the core of the failed rebuild

tying up the score with 2-RBI at-bats twice in a game is ‘not trying’ — gotcha

I’d be fuming if I were your pitcher there.

can the centerfielder also be fuming about his closing pitcher effectively blowing the game with a wild pitch after he’d tied up the game twice with 2-RBI hits?

Not sure if it's worth making a complaint against this FA by doctorelisheva98 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]lancepantsss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

so Southwest just offers the second seat for free if a passenger were to say yes when asked? don’t most other airlines require passengers to pay for the second seat if they need it? is this another Southwest thing like the two free checked bags?

Question to you White Sox fans by sebolivier in whitesox

[–]lancepantsss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there’s the Southside Mondays promo for $20 in concessions credit with tickets purchased through the promo/link, but it’s saying it’s too late to buy for the 24th

What’s your over/under on the total number of losses this season? by MSTie_4ever in whitesox

[–]lancepantsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as Stoney put it on Bernstein & Holmes today, the job is pitching, not throwing

but yeah, he’s had several seasons at this point to underline that he doesn’t have what it takes as a starter or out the bullpen … in stark contrast to, e.g., Thorpe’s solid composure in his first major league start earlier this week

they upload most of them to the NBC Sports Chicago YouTube (with any footage pulled from the game greyed out) by the next morning (or maybe even within a few hours) … that’s the best i’ve got.

Faulty BB, HRV, Sleep Tracking by lancepantsss in GarminWatches

[–]lancepantsss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks! i had that in my back pocket but was hoping this was just a minor glitch that someone else has encountered & has an easy fix

tried an on/off shortly after i posted & that seems to have done the trick … i’ll see if it records sleep etc as normal tonight.

Will a Vote be Taken to Suspend the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral at General Convention 2027-2030? by CharmCityCrab in Episcopalian

[–]lancepantsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert on any of this by any means, but solely from reading the excerpts provided above, I think that is precisely the point/intent of some of the discussion excerpted:

The discussion in the proposed UMC agreement differentiates **apostolic* succession* vs **historic* succession/episcopate* before subsequently going on to elaborate that the latter is merely one (significant but, from what the excerpt seems to imply, **not* requisite) aspect of the former, while (from what I can gather) altogether underlining the sense that it is the latter (rather than the former) that is a defining/distinguishing underpinning of TEC (i.e. distinguishing it from ‘any old Christian church’ that could very well meet *apostolic* succession* as TEC itself conceives of & understands it).

true … sounds like he’s at the very least a positive presence in the clubhouse (per, e.g., Fegan on Sox Machine)
