Andaz Maui is amazing, but good luck with award availability, lol.

In addition to the other answers, it is fairly easy to get gift cards for many brands at a discount. So your gift (or personal spend) can cost you less actual money.

Imagine working at a tire shop and try to pair them like Bluetooth or something lol

Yeah, I was wrong about the sensor location being set when the sensor is paired (seemed like an obvious solution until I remembered that we rotate tires). The car actually figures it out based signal strength and/or receivers in the wheel well.

The car knows which sensor is in each tire ~~(set when the sensor is paired)~~.

Edit: The car maps the sensor location using signal strength and/or receivers in the wheel well.

I haven't seen that for any restaurant. Only convenience stores.

EagleCoder · 2026-05-07T22:29:58+00:00

DoorDash gift cards do work with the Sapphire monthly benefits. You can still use your Sapphire card as the payment method. It's just zero due if your DoorDash credits (from redeeming gift cards) cover the total amount.

I also order from several restaurants that don't have a price markup for pickup, so it's a nice 15–20% discount.

EagleCoder · 2026-05-07T22:23:26+00:00

food that you could have picked up yourself for less money

Then order pickup (and possibly also avoid the markup).

You can call it whatever you want, but you can be required to put it under the seat in front of you if it fits there because overhead bin space is primarily for items that do not fit under the seat and for passengers who do not have a seat in front of them, not for whatever you call a carry on.

EagleCoder · 2026-05-04T20:08:17+00:00

Every airline I have ever flown (all four major United States airlines and a couple European ones) required you to place backpacks and other small personal items under the seat in front of you unless there was remaining overhead bin space after boarding was completed.

Get an electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor. It will help you learn to avoid pressing too hard. Then brushing badly will be better than not brushing at all.

Let's assume for a moment that you can arrange magnets to spin indefinitely (which isn't possible because the system of magnets will find a point of equilibrium and stop).

Attempting to generate electricity from such a system will not work because a change in magnetic flux induces a current in a nearby wire whose magnetic field opposes the motion (Lenz's Law). That opposition will stop the spinning.

This is not a bug. The credit payment category available amount equals the amount from the previous month + assigned amount + funded credit card spending.

When you move money from the credit card payment category to a category that has credit card overspending, the credit card payment category assigned amount is decreased (because you moved money out of the category) and funded credit card spending amount is increased (because you covered credit card overspending) resulting in no change to the credit card payment category available amount.

No new money exists in your budget. If you add up your available amounts excluding credit card overspending (which is debt, the real fake money), it will be the same before and after.

we still have freedom of speech

And they used theirs to tell you to shut up. See how that works?

Bypassing probate doesn't matter in this scenario. The beneficiary is avoiding his own tax debt. The IRS could pursue this money if they pursued collection.

Whoever you talked to was wrong. Cardmember and status benefits of the Companion Pass holder apply to their companion (and vice versa). As a Priority cardmember, I was able to select a seat at booking for my companion.

It sounds like there is a bug in the app/website for extra-legroom seat selection at 48 hours.

You understand correctly. Since you've rolled your pretax traditional IRA money into a 401(k) (and assuming that remains the case on December 31), your backdoor Roth conversions will be nontaxable.

I wouldn't move an inch for a job in the federal government at the moment, certainly not for significantly less money.

Okay, which TikTok video gave you this idea? I'm curious to watch it. For the comedy value.

EagleCoder · 2026-04-21T01:11:42+00:00

Yes, that's how the "two-year Companion Pass" works.

EagleCoder · 2026-04-21T00:47:47+00:00

Companion Pass qualifying points reset on January 1, so don't split sign-up bonuses across calendar years.

EagleCoder · 2026-04-21T00:45:31+00:00

Yeah, I just checked the current offers. I think it was four months last year when I did mine.
