    I have a regular Chase Sapphire, considering upgrading to the Preferred to get rental car coverage as I travel a good bit for work and have trips to Germany and Scotland coming in the next year.  Worth it for the Reserve or not?  Or should I close the CS and then open a CSP/CSR?  Also have a Chase Freedom in the wallet already, generally I'm trying to stick to United as my better half already has a companion pass and more SW points than we can use.

    Advice?

    assuming you're opening a new account rather than trying to convert (to get the sign up bonus), reserve ends up being net $55 more annual fee than preferred, and for that $55 you get lounge access/restaurant credits, 3x points on restaurants/travel instead of 2x, and 1.5x point value instead of 1.25x.  go to two airport restaurants (or drink enough in a lounge) and you've already gotten that $55 out of the way.

    I was buttfucking my fiancé in the shower and slipped and fell.  I'm not sure I'd categorize that as embarrassing.  

     when you come out of the closet it's best to come all the way out.

  3. CRS says tax cuts were pretty much useless.

    Quote

    In 2018, gross domestic product (GDP) grew at 2.9%, about the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO’s) projected rate published in 2017 before the tax cut. On the whole, the growth effects tend to show a relatively small (if any) first-year effect on the economy. Although growth rates cannot indicate the tax cut’s effects on GDP, they tend to rule out very large effects particularly in the short run. Although investment grew significantly, the growth patterns for different types of assets do not appear to be consistent with the direction and size of the supply-side incentive effects one would expect from the tax changes. This potential outcome may raise questions about how much longer-run growth will result from the tax revision.

    i love the weird obsession he has with telling stories about people coming up to him, while he's all alone, and they're all alone, and telling him some emotional story about how great he is.

    are these dreams he's having?  are they his imaginary friends?  as president, i would guess the time he has to engage one-on-one with strangers is exceptionally limited.

    what's it called when one writes his own fanfic?

  5. Fiat merger with Renault has some F1 implications. With Renault being rather terrible at F1 I don't see a combined company running two separate programs like VAG did in LMP1. Would half the field be running Ferrari engines under one name or another?

    I comes deflated and collapsed so it will fit on the compartment. They give you a compressor that is powered off the car battery.  Compressor fitting only fits the spare, and there is a bracket holding the tire in the bay that has no obvious way to unscrew it. There is a solid bracket that has no screw on top. I couldn’t figure out how the hell to operate it. Crazy. Looked on line and didn’t see anything for our year. Only the early models. I’m going to ask the dealer to show me how to use it next time I’m there. No way that shit needs to be that complicated. 

    i kinda thought so.  more a reminder for people who don't have german engineering in the spare tire well
