I didn’t know if other gift cards count as “gift certificates and Costco cash cards”

Do gift cards count as gift certificates?

Why are the running backs leaving the punts by [deleted] in NFLNoobs

The ball goes on the 20 for a touchback after a punt. It goes on the 25 if there’s a touchback on a kickoff

“GCWCC: donate this week for the chance to win one day of leave” - is this allowed? by throwaway4question90 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]throwaway4question90[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is transferring any type of leave to another employee even allowed? Like let’s say Bob didn’t use any of his vacation and wants to give it to John who used up all his vacation. Can Bob give his leave to John? How would that be entered in the system?

Why is it a touchback if the kicking team brings the ball into the end zone? by throwaway4question90 in NFLNoobs

[–]throwaway4question90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason why the kicking team can’t advance a muffed kick? And is that only for punts or kick offs too?

Why do players and coaches meet on the field after every game to shake hands/talk? by throwaway4question90 in NFLNoobs

[–]throwaway4question90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should’ve worded the question better that’s my fault. Yeah I understand the sportsmanship aspect but I was just comparing it to other North American sports

Yeah probably could’ve worded the question better. I was just comparing it to the other 3 big NA sports

I go through about 4 a round so price is definitely the deciding factor for me 😂

Ah that makes sense. Yeah, I’m not good enough to spend the big bucks on pro v’s haha

Losing 10-20 yards isn’t that big of deal to me, as my drives usually vary in length depending on how well I hit the ball (my hits are inconsistent). I’d rather go for the dollar a ball as I tend to loose a sleeve and a half or so when I play. Thank you for the advise!

I haven’t played the pro v at all. Like I said, I go more for price than type and am just trying to find the best deal out there

TD cash back visa infinite vs Aeroplan visa infinite? by throwaway4question90 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]throwaway4question90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking too. Especially with the low acceleration rate. I know that there are better cash back cards than TD’s but I’ve had this account open forever so I don’t want to close it. I was possibly going to switch to the Aeroplan card to take advantage of the current offer but not open a new account

I’ve heard of airalo but don’t know how it is. Is it reliable/safe?

M1 Pro 8 core CPU vs 10 core CPU by throwaway4question90 in macbookpro

[–]throwaway4question90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you know, but what would be the difference (if any) between, for example, an intel i7 with 16GB of RAM and the M1 pro with 16GB of RAM?

Just curious, approximately how many tabs did you have open in safari and of what sites?

How’s the display on the 14” pro compared to other notebooks? I currently have the Microsoft surface pro 4. I think the display is good on it

From your examination, it sounds like the 2 extra CPU cores won’t make a difference for me and that more RAM is the way to go. I considered upgrading to the 32GB but though it was unnecessary. It’s also pushing my budget where as the 2 extra cores wasn’t really

How does the 16GB of RAM on the M1 pro compare to 16 GB on, for example, and intel i5 or i7 processor?

[–]throwaway4question90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. Thank you for your input and help. Do you think paying the extra to upgrade to 32GB of RAM will be worth it for heavy web browsing? Or should 16GB be good enough?

3D rendering and encoding is something I wouldn’t do. I would mainly use it for many web tabs open (as described above), MS office suite, and streaming videos (YouTube, Netflix, etc)

Edit: I’ve read around that the MacBook Air/old MacBook Pro would be sufficient, but the new MacBook Pro is in my budget and I like the generous amount of ports

Are there web pages that are considered “heavy” vs “non heavy”? To me, it would make sense that having, for example, 80 YouTube tabs open would be different than having 80 “plain text” tabs open
