  • The issue I have with “leagues” is that by assigning them you are essentially reducing your potential dating pool because of an assumption. The whole point of flirting and getting to know someone is to evaluate your compatibility with each other. You can’t know whether you are someone’s exact type without interacting with them.

    I’ve been surprised enough times by which women do and don’t find me attractive that I know better than to make any assumptions.




  • The options suck because there is no real competition, simple as that.

    What the carriers actually care about is average revenue per customer (ARPU), so you will find that no matter the “deal” you get, you will be paying about the same minimum cost regardless of carrier at the same level. This is about $70/mo for Telus/Rogers/Bell, and $35/mo for their discount brands Koodo/Fido/Virgin. All that really changes is the amount of data you get, which they can easily give more of since the data itself is practically free. The only reason that these companies would ever do anything to deviate from the status quo is if a new company came in and challenged them, or they were legislated to change their policies, otherwise all they care about is maximizing revenues for shareholders.




  • I’ve used Vivaldi for a long time before switching to Floorp (based on Firefox) and recently back to Vivaldi.

    Pros:
    Vivaldi is fast with lots of features.
    I like how it works much more than other browsers (e. g. Sidebar tabs, pinned tabs can’t be closed)

    Cons:
    Still built on chromium.
    They have ways to customize the address bar autocomplete, but screwed up the implementation so every option doesn’t work the way I want it to.



  • I’ve had banks reach out about possible fraud and it always seems scammy. I have definitely been on the phone and had a text or email with a code that I had to repeat to the person on the phone. So it isn’t even universal that you don’t give the code to the person you are talking to.

    The best policy is that if your financial institution calls you is to hang up and call the number on the back of your card. You might have to wait on hold for a bit or explain to the operator but it is the only way to be very confident that you are speaking to the bank.
