  1. When I was in the market for a used car some years ago, I answered an ad for a used Nissan X-Trail. As far as I was concerned, she was asking way too much for it, and I didn't have that kind of money to spend anyway, so I just thanked her for her response and said it was beyond my budget. A couple weeks later I ended up sitting next to her on the bus and we struck up a conversation (I didn't know her at the time, but turned out we had mutual friends) and when she told me her name, I asked if she was the same person who had the X-Trail for sale. She said yes, she still had it, and tried to talk me into it, saying it was a great vehicle, totally worth the asking price. A week later my mechanic came with me to find a car at the Sunday car auction some hours away, we found a Ford Escape he checked out as good, and I bought it. (half the price this woman wanted for her car) A couple months after that, when I was in his shop to get a small thing checked out, the mechanic had that X-Trail in his shop, which someone had bought. He said "Good thing you didn't buy this one, it has a ton of things wrong with it and needs a lot of expensive work".
  2. Nice deflection. Your standard M.O. whenever called out on your BS.
  3. Nope, the innumerate are everywhere. Playing with their lack of mathematical ability, even something so simple as basic 3rd grade multiplication, can be entertaining and profitable!
  4. Yes, I know how it's supposed to be done, a friend who can do it at ear-shattering volume tried to teach me, but I just can't do it. My tongue doesn't fold back like that. I can't vibrate my tongue to make the Spanish double r sound either. And that has nothing to do with it not being a sound in my native language- it's something kids used to do when playing cars when I was little, and I never could do it.
  5. Like you disparaged the poster who dared to mention they loved Mario's?
  6. I used to work with a group in Canada that hired bands and put on dances. We served alcohol, and sold bar tickets. A friend who was on the bar ticket job one night started telling people the tickets were $1.50 each or 3 for $5. You wouldn't believe how many people went for the 3 for $5 "deal".
  7. I could never figure out how to whistle like that.😒
  8. You have to open Chrome on your phone and do it just like when it is connected to your Wifi.
  9. A network is the system your device is connected to. For instance, some people may use Telcel, some may use ATT, some Moviestar, etc. It is the company you are signed up with. When your phone is connected to your home Wifi, it is running on the Telmex, Ilox, Total Play, or whoever you get your internet from. When you turn off the Wifi connection, your phone is using the Telcel network.
  10. The speed test isn't specific to any site. It shows you how fast the speed is on your phone, regardless of what site you are on. Some apps and websites are more data heavy than others, so if your speed is too low, some may not work, or take too long to connect to, so they stop loading. For instance, a site or app that just has some text can easily connect, those that have a lot of images may require higher speeds to load. It can also help if you clear stuff out of your phone's memory that you don't need.
  11. Yes, Telcel. You don't have to "find" its connection to the internet. If you have a Telcel plan or paquete, it comes with a certain amount of cellular data each month. This is your phone's cellular internet connection whenever you are not at home or somewhere you can access a Wifi connection. So your phone already receives cellular data without you having to do anything. If you are switching from your phone working off your home Wifi to working on its cellular connection, you have to go into your phone's Network settings and switch off the Wifi connection. Then it will be working on the cell signal. When you want it to work off your Wifi connection, you turn the Wifi setting back on. In fact, if your phone keeps losing your Wifi connection, go to this setting and try turning it off and back on again, which might reset it. When I am at home, my phone data works off my Wifi connection. As soon as I am not home, and it is therefore not picking up my Wifi connection, it just automatically starts using the cell signal to access data. I can assure you I am low tech, too. But this is pretty simple stuff.
  12. High dosages of vitamin D should not be taken without some research into contraindications. There are heart, cholesterol, psoriasis, and other medications that are contraindicated with Vitamin D. 10 minutes of exposure to sunlight provides enough of the recommended normal daily allowance. So unless you have lily white skin and never go out in the sun, or slather yourself in sunscreen, most of us who live where the sun almost always shines don't have a deficiency. If you want to up your intake in the form of supplements, just be sure to read up on side effects of Vit. D toxicity and make sure you aren't on any medications on the list. Vitamins you get from food are never going to be a problem, because you can't eat enough to overdose them, unless you drink 3 glasses of carrot juice a day, for instance, and cause Vit. A toxicity. But supplements are not necessarily something benign that you can just take with abandon. Also there are water soluable vitamins, like B vitamins, that you can't really overdo, because you just pee out the excess that your body doesn't need. But fat-soluable vitamins are something that you can take too much of, because they build up in your body.
  13. Didn't need what? A picture, signature, iris scan, etc., or an RFC and a Constancia? If a foreigner owns a home here and ever wants to sell it, it is in their best interest to get facturas under one's RFC for any materials and labor that is spent on the house, as well as appliances, AC units, and so on that went into the house, as they can be used as deductions on any capital gains owing.
  14. I don't know why you insist on saying what is incorrect. I was given a new electronic token a year ago. It is different from the old ones, in that it reads the QR code off the screen, then generates a number you type in. The old ones just generated a number when you turned it on.
  15. That isn't true. I have had a BBVA account for years and I do not use the app at all. I log in to my account on my PC using the electronic token. I do understand that they seem to be making anyone who wants to open a new account use the app, but that doesn't seem to hold true for users who already have accounts. When I had to go in a couple years ago for a new token when the old one had a bad battery, they did try to tell me I needed to use the app, but I told them I didn't have a smart phone (which wasn't true) so they backed off on that. I never get sent codes. Not sure what those are for. But I do get SMS notifications of deposits and withdrawals on my old dumb phone, which I keep charged up but never put any time on.
  16. I don't really understand what you mean by that. If you hear the phone ring and don't answer it, you can see the number that called in your call log and if it says "unknown", you can be pretty sure it's a spam call.
  17. Last rainy season when we lost the electric and I was almost out of candles, I went out in the garden and brought in the solar lights. It was dim light, but better than nothing. I also have a wind-up flashlight that requires no batteries and no electrical charging. It even has a USB charging port to get some juice on a dead phone.
  18. Tell that to CFE, your bank, your insurance company, your internet provider, and every other entity that is going to have to have a copy of your Constancia starting in January 2023. They will be required by SAT to have a copy of your constancia.
  19. You can connect your phone to your laptop via Bluetooth.
  20. I think there are also options on most phones to block numbers that are not in your contacts, that are spam numbers, or to at least ask you if you want to block an incoming call from a number you don't recognize.
  21. I am not familiar with iphones, I use an android, but go into your app settings and make sure "location" is turned on for your BBVA app permissions.
  22. Not trying to fight with you, but this is exactly what you said. Just because BBVA put a generic RFC number on your paperwork, doesn't mean you "got" an RFC.
  23. You said that you had a generic RFC before. What I am saying is that it it wasn't an RFC issued by SAT, who never issued generic RFCs, so it was never an RFC you "had"- it was just what banks and other entities used to fill in with people who didn't have RFCs or didn't provide them with the real one. And while banks and other businesses were issuing facturas with those generic RFCs, they could never be used for deductions, if one had a business and had to pay taxes, nor could they be used to lower capital gains amounts owing when selling a house, as far as I'm aware.
  24. That doesn't make any sense. If your RFC was generic, it wasn't a real RFC. I just looked at my original SAT papers, and I got it in 2004. It was a real RFC and it is still my RFC. However, banks and other entities at that time just put in a generic RFC, which I had to get them to change to the real one.
