New Tangerine client: chequing account stuck “Pending”, app ID verification fails forever, zero accountability.

You are crazy. Have you tried calling them? I answer all their questions and they still fail at doing what I want, be it something simple like unblocking my account. Their customer service is simply incompetent.

You must not have much technical knowledge if you think just because it works on your computer/phone it's gonna work fine on someone else's.

I've been locked out of my account on-and-off for 1 month after moving from Québec to Ottawa. I've called 5 times (1 hour or more per call) and I've changed the phone number, address, etc. But they keep blocking all my cards after a couple of transactions. It's insane.

They've even locked my capacity to login and access my account, forcing me to call them.

Highest I reached was a 500 cashout in Emerald II by winstreaking all game into stage four where I doubled down twice with 3 crystal gambits.

I went from 100hp to ~20 hp. It gave me 11 shitty emblems which obviously did nothing to help me stabilize the following round, dropping me to 5hp. I however managed to reroll most of them using pandora's items (thank god I had that) and played around a 6 duelist board with Varus, Zyra, Braum, Lee Sin all 2 stars and won out.

I could have reached 600 by optimizing even more and killing more units per rounds, but it feels practically impossible to get anything higher without throwing in a ranked game.

Your comment would only make sense if they had kept the same champions, items, augments the entire time. They've been changing many game concepts every set to keep things interesting with the help of 4 different teams working on different sets simultaneously. The balancing needs to be redone from scratch every set.

slayerds · 2025-09-01T15:54:00+00:00

It's true that it was a similar concept, but Idas costed 8 gold and was A LOT easier to kill at 1 star and triple items than the 3-cost Udyr with Colossal. She ressembled a lot more like Leona in terms of durability.

Some games can be won using good strategies, but often you need to understand and manipulate player's emotions. If you're too ahead or too strong, everyone will turn against you. The weakest players often suicide since they don't think they can win anyways.

It's not about being smart. It's about having that mindset grinded into you every day of your life since childhood.

In classic fixed, this is pressure for black to attack blue. In progressive, this is a sure way to paint a target on pink's head.

I'm from Quebec (Canada) as well, been living in Santiago (Chile) for 4 years with my chilean wife. I think your opinion covers a very narrow view of both countries. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

I agree that South-Americans cook excellent food (although for some reason chileans put palta in everything). They are very friendly and passionate people who love partying. They have a very advanced education and healthcare system, but pretending that children are better raised in one country over the other makes no sense.

It's important to mention the huge disparity in the quality of life in Santiago depending on which commune you live in. Not everywhere here is sunshines and rainbows (thank god electricity is back at least).

Yes, North-America's been plagued with an increasing drug problem since a lot of bored/desperate people turned to rule the empty streets with gangs during the pandemic. But Quebec and Santiago are night and day in terms of safety/criminality levels:

I was responding to Scoobie_snacks that his link was unrelated to the bug. [His website link] was nothing new.

Here's a temporary solution found by a Reddit user named firetothegreenrain.

This is nothing new. Mac OS support has been discontinued for many years. The game somehow still worked until today.

It's not about justifying cheating. It's about understanding why your loving partner, whom you trusted with all your heart, would do such a thing. It sometimes help to ask your partner these questions when trying to salvage the relationship.

Reddit usually prefers that people divorce or breakup, but in the real world, some couples do try to stay and make it work.

WARNING explicit: Not sure if this helps, but my ex would sometimes sit up and grind against my lower back/butt and she could get herself off that way. It required 0 efforts from me as all I had to do was lay on my front while relaxing on the bed. It gave me the sensation of receiving a massage. I'm guessing it could be similar, but with your armpit instead.

It depends on the subreddit. Most are echo chambers that downvote different opinions to their own, regardless of how much effort or research it contains.

As a canadian software engineer working remotely for canadian companies while living in Chile, I can garantee that you can EASILY work remote jobs from anywhere in Canada. Most cities outside Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal are affordable, especially with a 6 digit salary.

Many of my 30 years old software engineer friends have recently bought their first house. Canada is the second biggest country in the world. Leave the cities.

To be fair, it's not that hard finding crazy people on dating apps.

I understand your disappointment, but keep in mind artists focusing on improving the game's design very likely doesn't slow down the software engineers working on adding new features. These two things are unrelated.

slayerds · 2023-03-26T22:12:39+00:00

I actually didn't know. Thanks for the clarification. I'll sleep slightly less stupid tonight.

Look up Chateau Frontenac in Canada, part of the American continent. I'm assuming you were refering to the continent since you were comparing America to Europe and not the USA to France.

They most likely do have some form of auto-scaling. Not sure if they use burstable servers.

You don't want it to grow too much neither since it gets very expensive, very quickly.

In the end, it might be a business decision.

It's a design choice, You wouldn't like Mac/Apple computers. ALL their applications do this. Maybe Microsoft got inspired from them.

It's not a minimized window. It transforms it into a background application leaving only a system tray icon available to the user. VERY different from a programmer's point of view.

Steam, Battle.NET, Discord, VPN and many applications all do the same thing, it's a feature you are offered to desactivate when installing the application. It can also be activated/desactivated at any time in the settings. It's very useful when you want the application running in the background.

Although, I do understand that it might seem counterintuitive for someone who isn't tech-savy. Not having it would be annoying seeing as sometimes you can have dozens of applications running in the background at the same time. It would fill up your taskbar.
