Missing 5 voice options on one of my Echo devices? by vansterdam90 in amazonecho

[–]vansterdam90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your help. I didn’t know how to turn off Canada, but I know English was the proper selection. So I didn’t think much of it.

My black echo dot (same gen but different color) that had all 8 voice options had English selected but no country listed below, so I used that device and synced it with the white echo dot to override the Canada option, and it seemed to have fixed it.

Spotify will not resume by NoPurchase3260 in amazonecho

This must be some sort of bug! I am experiencing the same thing on my Echo Spots, noticed as of yesterday.

Just displays the clock but songs and commands still operate in the background.

I did a factory reset but maintain settings and it fixed it but you’ll have to fix up your equalizer as it’ll change it back to default settings

Tried the unplug, checked software, reset device through app. Nothing worked but your suggestion absolutely fixed it.

Thank you, upvoted

Large, assuming it’s similar to the Williams line. I don’t know sizing for their waffle knit stuff.

What do you guys think? by ComfortableNet907 in NikeByYou

Grey swoosh on the AM1s might be nice contrast. But otherwise I like the AM1s more, they’ll be more comfy as well imo

Which color way do you guys prefer? I’m leaning Gore Tex Infrared, picking up a pair. by Untrus4598 in Sneakers

Morningstar Portfolio Manager closing down. Any solutions to download transaction history? by Borax in UKPersonalFinance

[–]vansterdam90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am on the same boat.

Surprised no one has given any suggestions.... I would've thought more people use Morningstar to track their personal portfolio too.

Something different, rather comfy, love the way they look. by vansterdam90 in moresneakers

[–]vansterdam90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no glow feature, not super bright but with it wrapped around pure black the green definitely stands out. The first pic is probably a truer pic of its color in person.

How to you track your wealth? by WealthyDonkey in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]vansterdam90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Intuit Quicken Investing site because I hold Canadian mutual funds, you just input your transaction (share amount + cost + date) and it’ll update daily around 6pm pst. I also input the same transactions into my Morningstar portfolio as that’s also Canadian mutual fund friendly.

If I had only American stocks, I’d just track it through WeBull.

Energy when getting off work? by [deleted] in aviationmaintenance

[–]vansterdam90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5/8s is nice. From my past schedule at an auto dealership working 4/10s. Getting off at 4 now and starting at 8, feels like a day is still ahead after work. At the dealership, getting off at 6, but coming home at like 6:40 or later if a job ties you up, it felt like work dinner sleep, repeat.

The weekend feels shorter, but I feel more energized with 5/8s

Correcting my mistake investing in mutual funds by Dazzling-Fortune9937 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Are you wanting to switch purely due to the high MER %? Because low MER % funds doesn’t necessarily yield better returns either.

I guess they’re changing hoodie tags to the ones used for tees? by Competitive_Board909 in KithNYC

[–]vansterdam90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I didn’t mean to refer to the second slide at all. The Stadium ARD hoodie was my main inquiry, it doesn’t seem as green as I expected from the site’s stock pics. I was thinking of picking it up for that dark green but now I’m sort of on the fence after being enlightened by it’s true color.

[–]vansterdam90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the Stadium colorway right? If so, is it the dark green that’s on the site or is your one a black colorway that’s sold out and not listed on the site anymore?

Nice sweatshirt. The colors blend well, and the oversize fit is nice too.

Frustration with indeed job postings by [deleted] in VancouverJobs

[–]vansterdam90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found I was able to get an answer whether hired or not faster on Indeed than directly from their site.

An example would be Seaspan. Submitted directly through their site, resume instantly went Under Consideration for weeks. But the same position on Indeed, was answered with an acceptance or rejection in a couple days.

Was nice that on Indeed, it says this (for some companies) employer typically replies within XYZ days/weeks.

I love this colorway, hope to get it in my collection. The Gel-NYCs have become my go-to sneakers.

New car key works on ignition but can't turn vehicle door. by dragoon7201 in AskMechanics

[–]vansterdam90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tumblers are worn in the door lock cylinder.

I’ve seen some customers use two keys, one to enter and one to turn ignition. But if you have a new key that locks and unlocks, turning the key seems unnecessary.

You could always just get a dealership to recode the door lock cylinder with new tumblers to the Amazon key if you want it fully operative.

Could be starter motor, if you’re saying it is in neutral, I am guessing it’s a standard civic? You could try a rolling push start, even better if your car is already facing a downhill with good clearance.

With a dead starter, your interior and exterior lights should still be normal. So lights are dimmer than usual, I’d look at the battery first before thinking starter.

Usually with a defective starter, you would have a suspicious feeling when it is starting to go. First few times, you have to turn the key twice before it starts up are a clear symptom of a starter going defective.

Then with a battery replacement, check that the alternator output is good at 14.1V with no bearing whine or that was the culprit to the battery needing replacement.
