  1. IF they qualify on their own. Zero credit score, zero credit history? I assume Chase has some kind of kid or teen card but I doubt any of those come with a sign up bonus. This is why you make your kid an authorized user on one of your accounts at an early age. I gave my son a free gold card off my platinum when he turn 14 or 15 I think. I didnt let him carry it until he turned 16 and started driving. He will turn 18 this summer and should have built up some credit
  2. Definitely getting the Colombia fever again. Need to look at RE in Medillin soon. I'm 4 years out of being able to expat out of the US. Agreed on Bogota. Once you've seen the tourist sites like Oro Museum and Monserate and the likes it's just a giant metro
  3. Whew...Well we asked for exciting football and we have it
  4. So have I including stints in Houston, NYC, and San Antonio with access to the Hill Country. I've ridden all over Manhattan in and out of traffic, taxis, busses etc. Shit even got to ride through the Lincoln tunnel. Riding in Texas is far more dangerous and scary. Not to mention the law in not on the cyclist side. Fortunately for us here in SA we have miles and miles of paved trail around the city. 64 mile circumference. Having said that. It's definitely dangerous mostly because the runners and walkers don't pay attention and wear ear buds and cant hear you call out. Yes they have the right of way but you can't just do a uturn without looking. I'd rather hit a runner than be hit by a car. With this in place I have found zero reasons to ride on the actual roads anymore. This in an old map but it's completed now. https://www.sanantonio.gov/Portals/0/Files/Parks/Linear Creekways/HWP-Greenway-Trail-Map.pdf?ver=2023-11-28-165237-177

  6. I will never understand billionaires harrassing women when you can pay shit tons of money to thousands of women legally to do whatever you want without any prison
  7. Tamagringo is but other parts are not so much but copared to Nicaragua it's pretty modern
  8. I was in Nicaragua in last week of Oct. Was awesome. Esp Ometepe. Headed to Guatemala in two weeks. Will report back. Panama last February. It was OK. I probably owe it another try. Will hit both El Salvador and Honduras this year to close out all 7 Central America coutries
  9. I haven't seen anything from SA Spurs about the match today but if it's on I'll make it. My daughter plays at 5 at Comalander
  10. I go at least once a year and sometimes twice and I haven't seen Jet at Jet's since befor the pandemic. Sexual harassment at Golden has plumeted
  11. FYI Joe Lewis pleads guilty in US federal court
  12. Not an issue at all. Belize is very safe. It's just like any other place in the world. Dont do stupid shiit. Don't go to parts that you shouldnt be going like Belize City or way south on Ambergris. The only time I felt at all a tad uncomfortable was a few years ago when I had a tour to the ruins and cave tubing. All of these tours are out of Belize City so instead of going to the island and then turning around and going right back to Belize City I stayed in Belize City at the Radisson. which is really close to the ferry terminal. I asked the hotel if there was a fun bar/grill near by for dinner and they looked at me and said "sir, you can not leave the hotel after 5pm. It is very dangerous" On the way back from the tour the next day our guide who grew up in Belize city and according to him was in a gang in his younger years drove us through all the really rough parts; "those guys aree lookout" and theyd wave at him etc and he'd wave back. I did have a "um ok. Im good now. You can go ahead and drop me off at the muni airstrip" Which by the way is the best airport Ive ever been to. Fun bar overlooking the runway. Finished my last Belikin, walked 30 seconds to the terminal. Maya staff Ok. hes here. Lets go. zero security etc
  13. I'll found out in a week once the wheel is built
  14. Just wanted to show off my new rear hub that my shop got in from Phil this past weekend. All the mechanics at the shop were giddy as I doubt they'd seen a Phil Wood lately or ever in person. Not the lightest but probably the strongest.
  15. So my sister recently moved to TPA. Thinking about going to visit spring break. I am UA and their price is insane but google flights showed me Spirit at $250 vs $490 for AA and like $800 for UA. So wth. FOr $250 how bad can it be? Well by the time you add a carry on and pay $70 per seat each way its basically the same price as AA. So whats the point of Spirit? How is it even cheaper?
  16. So this is actually and Indian Airline model plane?
