Ran into an interesting situation today. We are leasing a new vehicle and called TD Insurance yesterday to get a quote on the new vehicle. At the time, we weren’t sure if we were going to pull the trigger and wanted to know the rate to factor into our budget. We were advised of the amount ($2009 for the year) and told that the quote was good for an amount of days that I cant recall (40 I think). We ultimately decided to get the car and called TD to have the insurance added for pickup on Tuesday. The agent confirmed everything with us but it’s clear they don’t just “copy” or “activate” the existing quote and instead build a new one from the existing. She finally confirmed the amount of $2079 for the year. I inquired as to why it was $70 more than yesterday. To my surprise she said the quote doesn’t actually guarantee the rate and that it can change from day-to-day. After asking what the point is then of even saving the quote and telling me how long it’s good for, she agreed it’s quite silly but that rates will change regardless of a provided quote. She ultimately offered a loyalty discount that brought it down. Is this normal? I don’t think I’ve ever actually confirmed the rate before as I just assumed they would give me the rate associated with the saved quote.
It ultimately worked out in my favour as the rep applied a loyalty discount which made it cheaper than the policy it was replacing and cheaper than what I was originally quoted.
Which is insane. Why tell me the quote is valid for X days? Just tell me the quote is valid for that day only.
None of this applies, unless the original rep screwed up. The call was recorded and I confirmed I was told $2009. Existing customer, existing vehicles, so none of the personal information was asked or confirmed. But regardless, the rep was quite clear that a quote isn’t guaranteed and the rate often changes day to day.
I second what /u/jbalberta123 said. But to answer your question, everything should be separate. EVERYTHING.
Woah, I’m shocked out how many people here back into spots. I frequently deal with this at my son’s daycare and it’s a goddamn nightmare. First, 95% of the time it takes them multiple attempts to get parked correctly. While I’m waiting. Second, when they go to pull out there is no way to know. Half the time I’m slamming on my breaks because some asshole decided to just go and how exactly am I supposed to fucking know that? Bottom line, I hate people who back into spots. So apparently I hate all of you. 😂
We own a bouncy castle and it's been awesome.
As others have stated, take this to a pro data recovery company. Find one with great reviews and explain the situation. Make sure they know that you are aware you can run software at home that would likely be successful but that you’re more comfortable with an expert doing it. It shouldn’t be very expensive under these circumstances.
I know multi millionaires who play the lottery religiously.
Look, I know it’s frustrating that people see restaurants and car washes and other small businesses still using water. But you also have to realize the impact that comes with those businesses shuttering operations. More businesses than you realize operate like most households; paycheque to paycheque. They close and those employees are not getting paid. Ownership also isn’t getting paid. Yes, there are exceptions to that and there are large profitable businesses that can weather that kind of storm. But most can’t.
People forget. I was at Walmart and overheard an older gentleman on the phone telling the other party that he was going to find a car wash because the two he went to already were out of order. I reminded him they may have just closed due to the water main break. He immediately realized and even commented that he should have put that together since he got the alert on his phone. 🤷♂️
Definitely check out Drumheller. It’s only an hour and 20 minutes drive.
I agree. We have passes to the science center and it’s worth every penny. But it’s not worth the one time admission price.
By no means A-list, but I got to meet Todd Stashwick a few years ago at a convention. I was there early and got to shoot the shit with him. Great dude, legit Trekkie, and smelled great!
This is on the cable side, but my employee has had frequent internet issues and at this point was offline for days with a tech scheduled 2 weeks out. He was put in touch with the loyalty department because he threatened to cancel and despite not being in a contract, they offered him nothing. No discount. No attempt to escalate. Just told him “sorry, but that’s up to the service department to fix and there is nothing I can do”. The Rogers/Shaw merger is going great. 
The answer is tailgating. People have a hard time comprehending this. If everyone tailgates, there is no room to safely change lanes and as a result, people are forced to make more dangerous lane changes. I have experienced this myself. And the closer vehicles are together, the harder it is to see that someone a lane over is indicating to change lanes.
Yeah I've seen this too. The other thing I've come across a lot lately is people thinking that the whole "slower traffic move to the right" applies to non-highway roads. The key difference here is that on the highway you are almost never turning left and if you are there is a lane usually available for that turn. On the other hand, every other type of road (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90) often has several left hand turns that the driver may need. Also, nobody should be speeding in a zone under 70 anyway.
Damn, I’m old. I recognize only a handful of these names and one of them is because I read about her love triangle with her mom and Dracula.
If I was a betting man, I’d say porn addiction. Speaking from personal experience.
Text messages, true. Browsing history? It depends. We have MDM access to phones and can very easily push a DNS profile that gives us the ability to see what domains they are visiting.
We ultimately moved back to self-hosted. The limits didn’t work for me. I use N8N a lot to shortcut things, so while it’s incredibly useful, the cloud hosting costs didn’t make sense for us.
Could be a lemon that sat in service for a long time and now they just want it off their lot.
New to this MME thing - looking at a 2022.
