I’ll get straight to the point

Let’s say you’re buying something for $20 Canadian Dollars (CAD) in Canada. You tap your card, and a screen comes up with big American and Canadian flags asking “would you like to pay in USD or CAD?”

ALWAYS HIT THE FOREIGN CURRENCY OPTION

If you choose “pay with USD”, the machine will take the $20 CAD purchase, and convert it to USD at a very bad rate, and then send that overpriced USD amount to your credit card provider.

If you choose CAD, the purchase will be sent directly in CAD to your credit card provider, who will then give you a much better exchange rate back to USD on your card bill.

This applies to ATMs too

When I joined in 2023, t force felt a bit more detail oriented and knowledgeable then now. A big reason I joined T-Mobile is because you get a chat log from T force, and they usually stick to what they say. Anyone else notice this?

the frame is a beast

You want to fly Qatar airlines with an allergy? Hahaha!

You will need to:

Sign a waiver of liability and indemnification (not on US bound or outbound flights, thank you ACAA!)

Tell them 48 hours in advance or they **may refuse you boarding** (possibly illegal under ACAA)

Require a doctor’s note (also possibly illegal under ACAA)

They will also:

Make no announcement on board about the allergy

Still serve nuts on the flight

Interestingly, they have certain sections in their policy for US and Australian bound and outbound flights, probably because of legal protections in these countries. This goes to show the importance of allergy / disability protection laws.

And to Qatar Airlines: SHAME

My Kukirin G3 Pro has e-braking + hydraulic disc brakes and it changes how I use the scooter, I simply have more braking force, and therefore feel more confident when riding (never be too confident on a scooter though!).

It’s to the point where when braking I subconsciously jolt back a bit to counteract it, and when the e brake doesn’t activate (like if I have a full battery) I notice it lol

Some roads I know of have not been updated with new street view imagery since ~2013. I really would like to buy a 360 camera and update them with 2026 imagery.

My concern is that it would be basically for nothing, because Google’s street view, even if older, would supersede mine. Does anyone know if this would happen?

I get it, you’re supposed to stay in the inner lane, and only turn into the outer lane when it’s your exit, but that only works when everyone follows it.

If one person does not, you cannot change into the outer lane, as there is a car in the outer lane, and you are stuck in the inner lane at high speeds with cars all around you.

Should really be better designed.

To get to Boston Logan Airport, a lot of traffic goes through the 1.6 mile, half underwater, Ted Williams tunnel. I belive that carriers put 5G nodes in the tunnel, but nonetheless, do you think Waymo is ready to handle challenges like that?

With the uber/waymo partnership, is there any way to increase my chances of matching with a waymo when booking on the uber app? If I get a human driver, does anyone know if you can cancel immediately fee free?

LL here, looking for a property management company that treats tenants well and is very responsive. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks (:

I’ll keep it short, basically my home is in a weird “zombie HOA” where they own all the roads and community areas, but have no jurisdiction over my home.

They recently put up these horrible noodle-like portable speed bumps. The kind that are a thin rubber line and no matter what speed you go, make your whole body jolt, they are also not compatible with wheelchairs, skateboards, and e-scooters.

The legal theory I think would work is since this is the only road to numerous non-hoa homes, it should be treated like a public road, up to town/state standards. We also have no sidewalk, so it literally blocks all wheelchair use without going into the grass.

Is there anything I can do about this? The last time they put these up years ago, they were responsive but didn’t really do anything about it.

I appreciate your time reading this. thank you.

for context
