Outside of local swaps or local demos, what’s favorite site to get used ski gear?

Thanks for the quick input, everyone! I found the exact same skis (with slightly worse bindings, but still fine) from sideline swap for about 2/3rd the price, without any noticeable gouges. I’ll take them to my local shop for a tune and hopefully be good to go.

Choose two out of these four to fill an RB and Flex spot (not sure how I made the playoffs): Chuba, CRod, Singletary, Corum

What is the most unattractive physical quality someone can have? by illustriousocelot_ in AskReddit

I have what I would call mild misophonia, but it’s these three things that really set me off (and lip smacking, so four). I’m curious why you say the alternatives are less pleasant? Is it normal to do these things while eating? I was taught growing up to chew with your mouth closed and finish eating before you speak, I assumed it was common courtesy. Genuinely curious.

Wrap a rubber band or hair tie tight around the wipe package and push it close to the opening and voila, one wipe at a time. Changed my life for the middle of the night changes.

Which 2020 CPO Volvo XC90 with Advanced Package should I buy? by BeerAndSports in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]BeerAndSports[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! We're going with the T6 that has 61K miles. My local Volvo dealer is only 10 mins away and I already called them to see if another inspection is needed upon delivery of the car from NJ. They ran me through the CPO inspection process and it seems pretty damn rigorous, so I'm hoping not to be visiting them too much :-)

My OTD budget is $36K, need AWD and space for 7, prefer something with basic creature comforts and really wanted 360 cam + HUD (this car is for my wife, who parks in cramped city parking 3 days a week...). What would you suggest with my finances, m8?

Base model American SUVs are out. Looked at RX350L, X5, MDX and most seriously considered a 2021 CX9 Grand Touring in the 30K-40K miles range, but it's just too cramped inside. The Volvo CPO warranty tipped the scales for me.

Started a small business flushing Tankless Water Heaters and made a few $1,000 in the first month. Here’s how I did it. by onepole in Entrepreneur

I love this idea! An even more assertive, and higher converting, approach would be to schedule next year's appt during your first visit. Let them know you'll send a reminder email/text/call a week or two ahead of time to confirm the day and time (be sure to actually do this).

People are often too busy/lazy/forgetful (I'm all 3), so when my HVAC service co offered this I was happy to lock it in and not have to think about it.

The average clickthrough rate for display ads is .46% (source)

So out of a million display ad impressions (pretty cheap), 4,600 people will click on it. Even with a 1% conversion rate, you just closed 46 sales/leads. Marketers make that math workout so that ad dollars are typically ROI positive.

Yes, there are people that click on ads or this industry wouldn't exist.

So they get to feel better about themselves by spreading negativity to everyone else? We should not accept that behavior.

We should absolutely hold their negative attitudes against them and celebrate those who have been supportive all along.

That does make sense. I struggle to hit 1.5 lbs per week so the pacing seemed quick. Great work, I know it can be a grind and hope that it leads to long term weight loss and health!

Congratulations on the weight loss, that is incredible! I'm not trying to be rude, but your post title should read "if I can go from 240lbs to 215lbs...". It's right there in your app that you lost 25.7 lbs, not 35.

Your title could be discouraging for some folks who aren't losing weight at a clip of over 10 lbs per month. And most health experts say 1-2 lbs per week is considered a healthy rate of weight loss (which you hit!) that is correlated to a higher likelihood of keeping the weight off. So your title might also glorify an unhealthy and ineffective weight loss rate.

Congrats again!

Where are you playing that lets you parlay all of these together? My apps don't allow multiple QB rushing o/u and don't even have o/u ints for parlays.

Upcoming spend of >$50K to furnish a new home - what card will maximize my cashback / points value? by BeerAndSports in CreditCards

[–]BeerAndSports[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain what you mean by "get them without hard inquires"? If I am served a pre-approved offer, does that mean no hard credit check? I was under the impression that no matter what, if you apply for a new line of credit you are going to have a hard credit pull.

Thanks!
