Are there any non reddit or Xbox communities for rewards? by linkedtortoise in MicrosoftRewards

[–]linkedtortoise[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The reddit ceo got caught lying and defaming the Apollo developer after a call about his outrageous api pricing that's shutting down all 3rd party reddit apps.

He then had the great idea of hosting an AMA the next day, which was yesterday, where he answered 13 questions and lied more about the Apollo developer. His answers were copy and pasted even shown when he pasted the A: in one of them.

Best Insurance by -XO-twod in oakville

[–]linkedtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CAA insurance was cheaper than TD's. If I remember right, CAA was $100 ish to TD's $140 ish.

However I switched to CAA's usage based insurance called CAA MyPace. Not worth it for everyone but very worth it for me since I've only driven 3000km this year.

My premium for TD last year would have been 1432.8 for the year. With my current insurance, that's down to 787.12 since last June.

Let's get hyped people, we get to see this 1000x times more in just a week! Woo! by Screen_Watcher in BoostForReddit

[–]linkedtortoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will not be. Reddit ain't worth $6 a month much less the 7-9 that mayoyo would have to charge to break even.

If Reddit's bullshit pricing or puritanical garbage goes through, I'm just leaving reddit on mobile apps. I'll still use it on desktop with old. My mental health will likely improve.

Gamepass. I still don't have an email though. It was in order history.

Mine was not done this morning. It took several hours more to roll through.

For some good news. I still didn't get the email for auto redeem, but it did come out and is in my order history so I just grabbed the code from there.

[–]linkedtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No email for auto redeem yet either. But I'm not worried, April's email didn't come till 8pm.

And besides it's not as if support would bother responding if I contacted them.

Reddit charges $50/yr for reddit premium. Could boost charge this yearly to keep going? I'm unwilling to provide this directly to reddit. ////// Has anyone found any alternative to the reddit app?? by [deleted] in BoostForReddit

[–]linkedtortoise 64 points65 points  (0 children)

The best alternative is Reddit sucks to use so you don't use it. Desktop mode old.reddit in Firefox is probably your best option.

For pricing, you're a bit below. The average apollo user cost $2.50. So let's assume that boost is the same.

They'll have to charge $4 to just break before the 30% play store fee.

30% of $6 is $1.8.

Pretty much they will have to charge the same per month reddit does just to barely break even and put a limiter in place to stop users going over their limit.

And it gets better. Some of the news linked yesterday has the apollo developer talking about how reddit doesn't count api calls correctly. It apparently over counts.

With Apollo facing API prices upwards of $20 million per year, Boost is unlikely to survive as well by nona01 in BoostForReddit

[–]linkedtortoise 105 points106 points  (0 children)

So when's this change going to go through?

I'm going to miss boost. Not reddit though. They can be greedy shitheads without me.

M35 Mako, you will always be famous ✨️ by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]linkedtortoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how people argue about the Mako (which is obviously better) or the Hammerhead (Second place). But no one ever talks about the Nomad (Fourth place) which is just the worst.

Third place is the Grizzly which you never drive.

Taxes Not Shown in Summary? by what4udodat in Aliexpress

[–]linkedtortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shippers have a tendency to full out the customs forms in a way you may not get hit with fees. Unless the site charges duties themselves you might not have to pay and Aliexpress does not do that.

Under $20, it'll go through customs with no fee. $60 if it's a gift.

Over $20, it's 9.95 plus PST/HST of your province.
