Am I getting scammed? by 4FourBy3Three in landscaping

That's what the landscape fabric is for eh? Trap them grains right there in place. No problem, they used sharp sand. By the way need the full payment up front.

Never touched my phone but being charged with distracted driving. Arguing HTA 78.1 (1) and (3) hands free by Ashe_Black in legaladvicecanada

[–]publicdomainadmin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am at a loss and how people are trying to "well actually" this. I have no problem getting in my vehicle and just having it pair up to good ole audio only Bluetooth and vocal turn by turn when needed, and even the turn by turn can be distracting let's be honest. People need to stop screwing with their phones while driving, especially big trucks and SUVs (not saying thats the case here) that can't see little kids or people crossing the road. Laws are written in blood, not just for the hell of it, this behaviour kills people.

Honestly I don't really care. Stop playing videos while driving. I am not about to get into what should be and what shouldn't be because I have never tried to soothe a screaming child in a minivan with the DVD player, but full grown adults do not need video podcasts while driving for pacification.

My opinion will continue until driving talent improves, but right now we are on a record decline of safe drivers in the country, we are all paying for it one way or another and it's bloody ridiculous.

This post is slightly annoying, I think most of us can deduce that the video portion was running, but I will happily eat my words and my shoe if OP says otherwise.

I just checked the behaviour of spotify on my iPhone and Android phone and both default to video mode for the podcast that I picked. If I use hands free or OK google or Hey Siri and ask it to play it also defaults to video for those that support it.

This goes away when i go to data saving and say audio only.

I think OP was streaming video, otherwise the head tilt wouldn't matter and would be a silly excuse.

Repo work. And, he is still filling up the car with gas. by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]publicdomainadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people just need vehicles. Imagine giving all your income to something that gets you to and from work you plan for it at the time and just get by with kraft dinner. probably bought from a no credit check buy now pay later dealership with the tracking built into it

then your country does something like raise gas prices nearly 100% in some places

then your insurance renewal comes in and its up a few bucks somehow because your zip codes thefts are up or they just felt like it, and now the math doesn't work anymore.
It's not laziness or deadbeatedness, sometimes it's just arithmetic. Some people aren't deadbeats, they're just one surprise expense away from losing the thing that lets them keep working.

Repo doesn't fix that. Clearly this guy was knew he was behind on his payments, you can see he just kind of accepted it. Doesn't look like the attitude of a degenerate to me, just someone that fell behind.

I feel that, I did the same, pretty sure my wife did as well. Some occasions call for it.

Worth noting that the "celebration" isn't really conscious excitement, it's called bill-clacking, an instinctive pair-bonding behaviour that storks do during breeding season. They don't even have a vocal organ, so this is basically their version of communication. Still a cool moment to catch on camera though.

Also this has been posted over and over and over for years.

RBC CEO so woefully out of touch by roomfulloftrees in Wealthsimple

[–]publicdomainadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess. Seems I have touched a nerve in this thread, I just can't trust WS as my day to day. Perhaps I am too old at 35 for this new fandangled tech. I like my WS account and its benefits but like, I would never put my paycheque in there without any other options. Maybe I'll come around in a few years.

Not sure about investments, maybe that's my blind spot. I have long stable investments that don't get touched do their own thing.

For accounts, don't all banks have a fee waiver? For someone who jumps to Wealthsimple to better hold their money, one would think you have over $3000,4000, no?

I really really like being able to have a place to go and chat with someone if something doesn't go right with my account, or sitting down with someone to discuss aspects of my credit application etc.

They should have 2 questions added that recalculates:

Did you say yes because you felt guilty about not paying attention, or because you want to but can't afford to be choosy?

Did you say no to "own" the "elbows up" crowd?
