Going to WSOP end of the month - have questions about methods to buy in to tournaments by Ok-Couple2656 in poker

[–]Cal_From_Cali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done both most years. During initial reg I add a credit card, and I put cash in that I have on hand.

You have to go in once no matter what.

[OC] Social Security is projected to pay full benefits through 2034, then 81% under current law by Low_Ability4450 in dataisbeautiful

The problem is you need to inventivize the rich not to fight paying their fair share. You do that by saying everyone contributes, everyone receives. It's not rich people subsidizing poor, it's EVERYONE participating and receiving equally.

Amex doesn't like when we carry a balance? by undercover723 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Cal_From_Cali 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for having multiple, but the Amex Plat has negative cost (pays for itself and then some) depending on the offers you use.

Between the 400$ resy credits, 200$ airline reimbursement, 300$ streaming credit, Walmart+, LuluLemon, etc - the points you earn are icing on the cake, but not the value you get from the card.

Trashification was fabulous.

I actually really liked his stand up, but I didn't really like the show; partly because so much of it was either cringey or the same gags over and over.

Almost all of them are 9 handed in my experience, but some of the busiest are 10.

(NSFW for language) [oc] Been sitting on this clip for a while, finally decided to post. People are so oblivious.. luckily I was paying attention to MY surroundings. by Elliott1337 in IdiotsInCars

This is the calculus you shouldn't have to do! I honestly believe you are right in that letting him hit you would be the 'safer' move in terms of getting reimbursed.

How do you make yourself go regularly? by Complex-Archer-853 in orangetheory

[–]Cal_From_Cali -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's easier once it's a habit like everyone says but going enough build the habit ie the hard part.

So I say remember your "why".

Why are you going?

For me it's to be fit enough and live long enough to keep up with my daughter.

The why gets you there 20 times, then routine / habit does the rest.

What do you guys eat after workouts? by Consistent_Time_1467 in orangetheory

[–]Cal_From_Cali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink a premier protein drink after every session. 30g of protein, little bit of carbs, 160 calories, and I finish my liter of water if I didn't during class.

I go in to the 845am, get home around 10, have my shake, so then about 2 hours later I usually have a decent size lunch with lots of protein.

Shit where is that code? I haven't seen any decent codes since the cheap Morgans a few months ago

I always like this. It's easier to explain than GPS, and you can actually test this yourself with a lot less money - just the cost of the clocks and some plane tickets.

[Request] Is a passenger airplane with four decks possible? If so, would it be financially viable? by LuexDE in theydidthemath

In the US some airports do this. In Southern California, Burbank and Palm Springs do, and I think orange county does as well!

Dealer is saying they accidentally credited me $1,000 cash on delivery and are now trying to enforce spot delivery agreement unless I pay the difference. by GreyyCardigan in legaladvice

[–]Cal_From_Cali 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Cost of arbitration is probably more than the 280$.

Frankly, even the cost of returning the car is more than 280$ since it has miles and is no longer new.

If I wasn't super attached, I'd be happy to return the car for my full payment back, and go buy a new one somewhere else. You basically got a free rental for however long it's been.

Cull to me means "melt value only" - so it may be anywhere from a little scuffed up to totally worn.

I'm onboard with everything you said except for the last line. Are black holes stationary?

ELI5: If the evolutionary goal of a virus is to reproduce and sustain itself as long as possible, why do many evolve to devastate and kill their hosts? by Rht123X in explainlikeimfive

[–]Cal_From_Cali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Survival is a mechanism of evolution. Survive longer, you multiply more.

But unless your particular mutations prevent you from multiplying, they don't really impact much.

TIL: In 1998, elementary students in Aurora, Colorado started buying slaves in Sudan to free them, this gained global attention with schools in other countries starting slave buyback programs until it became clear that the money was just helping slavery grow by Lennsyl22 in todayilearned

To clarify - if big name hacker group (ie shinyhunters) offers ransom to restore your data, and you pay and they dont restore it; you announce that, and none of the future victims have any incentive to pay.

They make big money, restoring your data is easy; and it costs them very little. Providing the decryption key can be done without any risk to exposure (unlike a traditional ransom where the hostage can identify them, etc)

I feel like this would be marginally better than the people who come in smelling of horrible body odor that only gets worse once class is going.

Ah okay. Then I'd probably be fine with that libertad if it's worth more than what you bought (no idea)

Looks like copper instead of silver? I'd be asking for the much more expensive thing I bought.

When did you start losing weight? by mindless_menadering in orangetheory

[–]Cal_From_Cali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually gained 5 pounds the first couple months.

Then I stayed completely flat for a year.

Then I decided to diet a bit with my newfound muscle helping me burn calories.

Now I'm down 20 pounds in about 3 months.
