The very first time I rented a vehicle, I got done for a scratch that I didn’t make. It was a scratch from underneath the front bumper. When I got the car they never checked that area but it was the first place they looked when I returned it.

Since this incident, I go over the car with them with a very keen eye. I get them to mark down every little mark. Including underneath the bumpers. I even get them to write it down if the car was wet since that can mask scratches.

The insurance waiver is a gold mine for them. A good friend of mine works for a national car rental company in my country. He was telling me that they attempt to hard sell the waiver because they make a lot of profit on it.

My thoughts on it are, I’m a careful driver, I haven’t had an accident yet. The waiver can be just as expensive as the car depending on what you rent and the period of the rental. I’m happy to ‘take the risk’ because in the long run I’ll be less out of pocket even if I do have to pay the excess once in a while.

Paying Spotify and still getting adverts.

At that point I decided that Spotify wasn’t for me anymore.

It’s now been a while since I used Spotify, so no idea what it’s like now. I started to get Spotify inserted adverts when listening to podcasts. After a month or so of getting adverts I stopped my subscription and moved to other sources of audio entertainment.

I paid for Spotify primarily to get away from adverts, secondly it was more convenient than being on the wavey seas with my parrot, black flag, and wooden leg.

How many times have you been in crash? And if not at all or rarely then why do you believe you’ll be in a crash the next time you rent a vehicle?

The way I think about it, if you rent a vehicle frequently or for long enough, you’re saving money after about 10-20 days of rentals. The exact number of days depends on the cost of the insurance waiver and excess fee for the rental company you use. So if you use a rental for longer than this number of days, then even if you write off the vehicle and pay the full excess, you will still have more money in your pocket than if you paid the waiver every time.

The key to success is having a keen eye when checking out the car and getting them to put down every mark - even if you have to be a little pushy to get them to do it. Obviously, don’t be a wreck less driver. And you should be golden.

I don’t understand the love for Telegram.

In the short period of using it I had so much BS come through by scammers/spammers - both as DMs and group messages. I’ve rarely had that with WhatsApp.

In my eyes WhatsApp is far better than Telegram. And Signal is far greater than WhatsApp. The only thing I wish Signal had was inbuilt GIFs; it’s not that much of an issue on mobile but it’s a pain on desktop.

But only if I get to look into the beautiful eye of my favorite purple haired friend

Not all extensions appear to be compatible at the moment. I know if I add a couple of my favorite desktop extensions to my collection that it breaks.

Maybe you’re lucky with your extensions of choice.

I’m not saying all extensions I tried adding broke the collection - only a couple did; the other extensions worked as expected.
