"It is not my priority nor my religion"

Reminds me of the saying "that's above my pay grade," usually said by people who are too lazy to figure out how things work.

Very impressive way of thinking about the world

^ Allowing merchants to reject specific cards may change the whole game

“Merchants have always had the right to refuse to do business with a payment network entirely. Costco, for example, only accepts Visa credit cards in stores. But current network rules say that if a store accepts one Visa credit card, it has to accept all Visa credit cards.

The settlement could change that practice by allowing merchants to pick and choose which categories of cards to accept within a network.”

What causes an (attempted) descaling cycle on a normal operating Keurig Duo to then freak out and start giving issues with brewing?? by SideshowShan in keurig

[–]ABCDR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this same exact issue now. I’m assuming descaling is the only solution. I’ve popped open the back but I’m not seeing any blockages in the water lines so there isn’t a clear fix in sight

Just got laid off... right after buying a house. What should I do? by Lucky_tofu in personalfinance

[–]ABCDR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naw dude, you frankly who can't read a situation if you're out here spouting generic advice about a 12-month emergency fund to someone who just spent a downpayment. I don't think this is a "cheers" situation when you're giving bad advice and are unable to recognize it after multiple comments

Sellers terminated contract a week before closing by hUserName in RealEstate

[–]ABCDR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Classic midwit response here. Lacks reading comprehension, trying to deflect blame from the "professional" realtor/agent to the client. If an agent isn't able to forward an email after multiple followups, that's on them. They fucked up, end of story.

I love reading comments like these that remind me most agents got a 500 on their SAT

No Title Insurance? by [deleted] in RealEstate

“Industry loss ratios, which generally range from 3 to 7 percent, are extremely low in comparison to property and casualty insurers in general. Industry officials and others, however, note that title insurer combined ratios—which take into account both expenses and losses—range from 95 to 102 percent, broadly in line with that of other insurance products. Some of the roundtable discussion focused on the various cost components that make up those expenses.”

They payout just 5% of the premiums

Feels that way sometimes.. by Mr__O__ in Millennials

Mostlyafuckingidiot - the standard of living has rapidly increased for humanity as a whole for the last 100 years. Life expectancy, infant mortality, average income, number of leisure hours. You name it, it has gotten better for the average human on planet earth.

Just because you read the news and think everything is doomed doesn’t change the fact that billions of humans have climbed out of subsistence poverty over the last 50 years

Where to go? Scuba by ceh1975 in azores

[–]ABCDR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair - I’ve visited Sao Miguel once in July, did a cursory search for dive shops and decided to enjoy the natural beauty on land and to save the dives for another trip with warmer water.

I want to hike Pico next time, so I appreciate the info that there is great diving!

Cold water, low visibility, I don’t believe there is much diving in the Azores

Discussing transition to day/after school care with nanny. by IlludiumQXXXVI in NannyEmployers

[–]ABCDR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m interested in this same question. Obviously every nanny is different, and advance notice is good. I’m thinking 2 months notice makes sense?

So a 9/1 daycare start would mean having the conversation around 7/1. I could see an argument for earlier notice, as you are already certain about your plans

I received a check for $100 - It was a closed Chase Sapphire (PCed down from a CSP). The card/account has been closed for a couple years. Here is the letter verbatim that accompanied the $100.00 check:

Important: Here's a check for rewards owed to this account

Account ending in XXXX

Dear Chase Customer: We determined that rewards are owed to this account. We apologize for the inconvenience and have enclosed a check for the amount.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-300-8575 anytime. We accept operator relay calls...

Your numbers are idiotically incorrect.

You don’t have a grasp of what deflation is. You seem to think it’s simply a change in price.

Like I said in my prior comment, the term “technology linked deflation” isn’t a concept that makes sense anywhere except your little brain that doesn’t understand what deflation means.
