  • Back in the day they were “selling” dollar coins through tv. It was legal tender so banks had to accept any deposit of it. The U.S. mint offered free shipping in the continental U.S.A.

    Some smart folks started buying them with their credit card that offered air travel miles as a reward. Then they took all the coins and depositing them in their bank and paid off their CC. Rinse and repeat.

    Yes they were out no money and had thousands of dollars worth airline miles.



  • The worst part is when you go to a place you need to pay before service is rendered.

    If I go to the bagel shop and get a dozen I pay before I pick them out. TIP? Are you kidding me, what what, you have not served me yet.

    A tip is to reward good service at a sit down place. I still think it shouldn’t be and if we have it, it should be back to the 5-10% like most countries that have tipping.

    But if you ask for a tip before you render service i get a little angry.



  • We have Disney+ due to kids and nothing else. Did Netflix for a bit but eventually didn’t like the price and policy change.

    I had actually enjoyed it a lot since it wasn’t too $$ at first. The price increase and stupid lawsuits made me rethink. Still decided the shows we watched as a family were worth the price and convenience.

    However in the past week they started adding things that were only available with the espn and Hulu subscriptions. So now we are seeing tons of things we can’t watch.

    It’s now really pissing me off. So all the other shit bothered me but not to the point of canceling. This however is going to be the catalyst.



  • Your right. It was a little bit of a “what about”ism. If they did it then why shouldn’t I isn’t the best argument. I do agree that he is going back on his word and we should hold our leaders to a higher standard.

    I guess I get a little frustrated by most dems holding their leaders to a higher standard and then their leaders resigning for it. All while nothing comes of a Republican holding office and threatening people with violence and sexual assault.











  • Wait what… I mean I am not fully ignorant but back in the day when friends saw they warned me so I could avoid.

    This 15ish years later is the first I hear of this. To be honest, it doesn’t surprise me based on the description however, I always walked away with the assumption of help coming before it’s too late.

    The dude died?
