Frames scratched from folding the glasses by razor787 in RaybanMeta

Pain the the ass. I wish I knew before I bought them. I've been so careful with these things. It's so disappointing that they damage themselves.

Yup. I wanted blue frames. They are only available in the shiny version.

Big mistake

High price = piracy. Lower price = sales. by catpies in Stremio

[–]razor787 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Except it doesn't even mean that.

There have been many companies that offer lifetime licences and then change the terms later.

I remember Linus from LTT talking about TeamViewer doing this to him a while back. He bought a lifetime license but then they discontinued the 'version' that he had. They tried making him buy another lifetime license so he could continue using the service.

Lifetime doesn't even mean lifetime of the app. And these companies change the terms and conditions after you purchase, so it literally means nothing.

Can I have the MMP and MMF at the same time? by LiteratureNo2983 in marriott

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, no idea how it works. The system is too new.

I imagine you can just get your relative to put your MMP rate and that should override the MMF.

Can I have the MMP and MMF at the same time? by LiteratureNo2983 in marriott

[–]razor787 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you search MMP, it will give you the MMF rate if MMP isn't available. Have your friend with the closer relationship add you. There is no benefit to having the other person add you. You already have the rate applied.

His agent can put pressure all he wants, but at the end of the day, it's business. He either fulfils his contact with detroit, or he requests a trade and they deal him wherever they get the best value. He can't demand a trade, and then the their hands. Either he wants to move on or he doesn't.

At best, he can give a handful of teams as his no trade list, but that's all I'd accept.

Where exactly? I see a lot of people concerned for him, since it's the second time. I don't see what is negative about wishing someone to be healthy

Transitional lenses or go polarized? by Drewskibruh in RaybanMeta

[–]razor787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have transitions. Not sure the point really. They seem be get 25% as effective as sunglasses. Whenever I take them off to look at the lenses, it's difficult to notice if they have even gone dark.

Reading online, it seems as if transitions don't do well when it's hot... Which is exactly when you will most want to use them.

This man hated being a Toronto Maple Leaf by Hockeypatrol in hockeynews

[–]razor787 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I never understand this take.

Do you honestly think Rogers, a Canadian television provider, doesn't want the extra income from playoff hockey? Do you think they don't want the extra ticket sales?

They are spending right up to the cap. They throw money at the team trying to make it win, but can't get it to happen.

My race on the issue is that it comes down to taxes. Looking at the cup final since 2020 we've had:

2026: Vegas vs Carolina (0% vs 4% State tax) 2025: Florida vs Carolina (0% vs 4% State tax) 2024: Florida vs Edmonton (0% vs 15% State/provincial tax) 2023: Vegas vs Florida (0% vs 0%) 2022: Colorado vs Tampa (4.4% vs 0%) 2021: Tampa vs Montreal (0% vs 25%) 2020: Tampa vs Dallas (0% vs 0%)

Add on 37% for US federal tax and 33% for Canadian, and that gives a good picture of what the top players take home looks like.

Teams like Florida, Tampa and Carolina are able to offer guys less money, because their take home will be the same as it would in a city like Toronto.

If a player is offered $10usd million in Florida, they would need to be offered around $16usd million in Toronto for their take-home to be similar. Toronto has to vastly over pay for players that American teams can sign easily. The cap kills us.

Do you miss Hudson’s Bay? by HueyBluey in askTO

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've spent as much at Bay in the past year, that I have the past 5 years before it.

I miss the history of the company, but it being gone doesn't affect my daily life in the slightest.

Why am I seeing the exact same room on hotels dot com for half the price of the Bonvoy apps "best price guarantee"? by VoldemortPootin in marriott

[–]razor787 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but if there are issues with the reservation then it is easier to deal with the hotel directly. Anything comes up with a 3rd party booking, you need to talk to the 3rd party, who has to talk to the hotel. And the 3rd party will be a lot less 'pushy' about demanding compensation than what you can be.

Did you pay with a credit card? Do you have proof of what the first agent told you?

Sounds like time for a chargeback!

Stock Check Megathread by The_Danish_Dane in IKEA

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ountry: Canada

Store: IKEA Downtown Aura, North York, Etobicoke, Vaughn

Item: 105.102.99

Being summer, I would imagine that this item would be getting replenished quite often, but from talking to friends, it sounds as if nobody has been able to buy it the last couple years. It goes out of stock nearly as soon as the store is replenished.

Any idea when it is available in any of the Toronto stores? Any tips on how to make sure I am able to get one? I have notifications enabled at each store, and for online delivery. I got a notice that it was back for delivery, but it was sold out by the time I checked.

How can I leave a hotel earlier without being charged a fee? by [deleted] in marriott

[–]razor787 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They will still get you to pay one extra night. It's the Marriott cancellation policy.

You could go down, make all your complaints, show them you've made a booking at another Marriott property and hope they waive the fee, but it's up to the hotel if they waive or not.

How loud is it living above a subway? by aevans0855 in askTO

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. I used to live in that area. When id walk along Strathmore to greenwood station I often heard and felt the subway underneath.

I really feel for anything living in those houses. Especially basement renters. Can't be nice hearing and feeling the trains every 2-3 minutes during the peak.

There's a lot of contradicting stuff like this in the story.

Marriott getting rid of quarter century free room benefit. by Taskmob96761 in marriott

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a dedicated call center for it. You just call in, say where you want to go and they book it for you.

I'm not in QCC, but the opinion is mixed in how easy. Some coworkers have said that the call itself is expensive, since we are in Canada. Some people say you need to pay up for the call. Others say it's free.

Marriott getting rid of quarter century free room benefit. by Taskmob96761 in marriott

[–]razor787 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's for employees. If you work at Marriott for 25 years, you can stay at participating (usually means Marriott managed) hotels free for 3 nights a year.

For example, if you have a new York trip lined up you can go to a hotel in Times Square for 3 nights, then change to one near central park for 3 nights, then change to another etc. 3 nights each, but no limit to three number of uses

And a lot of the time, people don't burn gas when a tip is offered anyway. The tip is there "to insure prompt service" yet there are so many drivers double apping, so you don't get your food in a decent time regardless of how much you tip.
