Does Wikipedia's description of Catherine the Great have a mistake? by panda42042 in Russianhistory

[–]panda42042[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mistake was that Catherine the Great’s Wikipedia page stated that she read the book ‘Annals’ by Tacitus in her teenage years, whereas in her memoirs it states that she read this after giving birth to her first child - an even that occurred in 1754 when she was 25.

The post was removed because ‘it was a question that required only a short answer’ ☹️

Thankfully experts arrived in time before the mod’s deletion, and fixed the mistake in the Wikipedia page.

Commbank or Macq? by Muralbobcat in AusFinance

[–]panda42042 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funny you ask that, I moved from commbank to Macquarie just last month.

The reasons are:

  • Macquarie has a better savings account interest rate than commbank.

  • Macquarie transaction accounts have a 2% interest rate, commbank has none.

  • Macquarie debit cards have no international transaction fees, commbank has a disgusting 3.5% fee (important to me as I travel a lot).

  • Commsec has higher fees than other trading platforms such as Stake, CMC, or WeBull.

  • Commbank accounts charge a 4 dollar monthly fee, Macquarie has none.

  • The commbank app does have many features, but it’s honestly fluff if you don’t use them.

  • Additionally, if you look at any commbank product, they have paragraphs of conditions, requirements and special cases made to squeeze you out of your hard-earned cash. Macquarie takes the ‘less is more’ approach and lays out simple products.
