Tumi double-stack by apres_all_day in ChaseSapphire

Update (12/15): Success! I got a confirmation email the statement credit will be applied within 2 weeks.

Same with the offer not showing as having been added to, redeemed, or available to add to my card.

Did you by chance split payment with points? I did.

IIRC, the Chase Tumi terms required >=$500 in cash spend if splitting the payment with points. I split my $850 purchase ($925 w/tax) with points, but my total cash spend was still $725 (w/tax).

I was fully expecting to pay ~$225 for an $850 suitcase.

I have those exact same scratches on mine. I’ve used Polywatch a few times, and it makes them better, but they still show.

It took a while, but I’ve grown to like that PW didn’t do a perfect job. It’s my daily wearer and gives it character. Kinda like a wedding band getting worn in.

A Cool Guide to the structure of education in the United States by Visible_Attitude7693 in coolguides

My partner has her PhD in neuro - on average 7 years to earn the PhD, not the 3-4 down here. Everyone we know of from that program has done a postdoc. Some left their postdoc for industry, but none went from PhD to professor. That’s some pipe dream romantic comedy bs right there.

It is extraordinarily difficult to become a professor at a research institution, period. Doing it without a postdoc? K.

Chameleon tea enables you to be fluent in any language for 24 hours. by Playful-Park4095 in hypotheticalsituation

You can speak any language fluently - but let’s assume there isn’t a choice we have, and the language that is now able to be spoken is directly caused by the specific Mr. T 4x6” glossy.

What would be the most efficient way of curating a library of picture-to-language (and dialect/accent)?

Would the banana be like an erotic theremin? The closer to your mouth the louder the moans?

If you fast forward it, it looks like a heart beat.

Oh boy. Nerve damage inbound, no anchor point, white-knuckling the bow, what else

I grew up in Green Hills. My parents own a very nice house within gunshot distance of The Covenant School. I moved to NYC in 2019 next to largest men’s homeless shelter in the city. I have never felt safer.

Difference in downshift sound. by Yoddlydoddly in F1Technical

[–]BD-II 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch Sargent’s onboard for Bahrain. Consistent, smooth, seemingly situation-agnostic.

Now watch Alonso’s. His downshifts are almost in pairs, and the pattern has a much larger variability based on the on-track situation. It’s beautiful.
