-Focus on 1-3 years of low-budget 'reality' TV

Yikes. Netflix is hellbent on extracting maximum revenue possible, regardless of how shitty their product gets in the meantime.

I respect the remote grind but that does NOT look good in public office

What are your alternatives? What other options do you have to get a bachelor's of Engineering? Often times transfer applicants get surprised when they see that the FA is worse.

Insurance companies are about the purest form of capitalism around. If they aren't making money, they aren't going to participate. This is going to be a problem for California, Florida, Louisiana, and places in the Mountain West.

Quite a few. I grew up in a conservative, racist family. It took me a long time to unwind the problematic casual phrases I grew up with. I'm not proud of it, and I occasionally cringe looking backwards. I realize now the tremendous weight and damage those phrases could do. Now I just try to be better day by day, and to make sure I don't perpetuate those damaging habits in my own children.

Looks great.

I'm legitimately surprised about this. I was sure he was a goner. Tobin was not committal at all to him during the draft season

Be careful assuming you can get a cheaper package with the same educational outcomes by leaving PSU. If I was in your shoes, I would take the 40k in total debt, get that engineering degree, then continue to live like a college kid for a few years to pay it down.

I typed something up but it looks like it didn't post. I think we're saying two different things.

I'm talking specifically about the design language that you don't like. The EV9 and the new Sante Fe, the Santa Cruz, the hatch IONIQ5 and even the divisive IONIQ6. I love those designs. They feel unique and bold. I would put them among some of my favorite designs of major, non-exotic manufacturers. Clearly just personal opinion but I feel like they've put out hit after hit on design, compared to whatever the hell BMW is doing as an example.

I can't really say anything about their engine design or internal components. I'm ignorant there. I'm saying I find myself intrigued by Hyundai in spite of their terrible track record because of the design language.

Hopefully not!

Setting aside much-deserved flak about the Theta II and the immobilizer, there is little-to-no argument that Hyundai has been consistently pumping out the best and most innovative designs in the large auto manufacturer space.

Good points. I guess I was thinking about it from the stereotypical "adult gamer with disposable income" perspective. Not those gamer's kids.

 

Honestly a little surprised that WoTC didn't intentionally delay printing this card for longer. I'm not sure everyone even has their full inventory yet.

Favorite daily driver? (self.creditcards)
 

I am using a Savor One as my daily driver. It's an excellent card and the 3% in groceries and dining covers two of my largest spend categories so it's a great fit.

However, I still feel as though I'm leaving a lot on the table for everything else that only gets 1%. I am currently using a secondary Venmo Visa -- mainly because I needed VISA exposure for costco. It's an aesthetically pretty card but the lack of authorized users and only being able to manage the account inside the app are pretty big hindrances for me. I don't think I'm going to stick with it.

Any recommendations for a complementary daily driver? I know I should just consider the WF Autograph but I REALLY hesitate to work with them just on principle.

 

Although I will add that even a maximum rebate paired with the best possible financing (1.49% over 60mo) is still north of $600 a month.
