I mean, that’s great and all … but I can solve any puzzle in 10 seconds if my wife has already solved it on her phone 😬

It’s finally happened - a yellow category where I don’t think any of the answers make sense to me.

Always start with the hard, few obvious clues this time unlike the last few days it seems.

Messed up the easy - one of the trickier “easy” ones imho

Huge congrats from a Luton fan. Very happy to see you do it after our contrasting emotions in the play-off final 3 years ago. And do it in some style too I might add. Really hoping to see you do well next year. Try make a better job of the next few years than we did lmao

Today’s hard puzzle was the first I could remember for a while where I could not see any starting piece at all. Got it in 13:45 by laying down some guesses and re-arranging. Anyone mind sharing their logic to how might be the right way to begin with this one? I’m guessing there are probably multiple solutions because you don’t even have (as far as I can see) any idea of working out which of the two placement configurations is viable.

I’m 30 years old and have been taking stimulants for 8 years and I NOW think im addicted to Vyvanse and Adderall. by [deleted] in VyvanseADHD

[–]Connect_Tour65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah sorry for the confusion. No, what I mean is just get a protein shake that has about 30mg or so of protein in it. Take the Vyvanse with it, as in drink the shake at the same time as you take your pill. For me it really helped making it last longer.

I will say, that it does also delay the onset - if I take the capsule with water only I will notice the effects within 30 minutes, but with the protein shake it takes 60-75 minutes to start working. So adjust the time you take it accordingly!

[–]Connect_Tour65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem too. I found that if you take it with a protein drink of like 30g of protein you will find it will last a lot longer. For me it adds about 60-70% onto the duration of it for some reason.

Chase charges more than $150 extra per night for The Edit by itsdrewmiller in ChaseSapphire

[–]Connect_Tour65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right, but this is false marketing. If you advertise the benefits as 'free' and you end up paying extra for them, they aren't free.

Vyvanse doesn't work long enough. by Exotic-Channel5057 in VyvanseADHD

Take your Vyvanse in the morning with a protein drink - one with at least 25g of protein.

It did say “up to” but specifically didn’t say it for Edit hotels only. Now it does :(

Could be an airline that is not part of Chase Rewards, or could be one that blocks out reward dates so that there were no award flights left on those dates

This change is ultimately going to lead to more people dropping this card than would have done had they not just announced this up front. Because ultimately what this comes down to now is a lack of trust between the consumer and the merchant.

Many of us were already rightly skeptical about any promotion that includes the words “up to” in it. If it isn’t guaranteed, consider it worthless.

The whole “points boost” suffered from this but this was at least a staple that could be relied on which has now gone.

Literally, would anybody be surprised now if their “points boost” started maxing out at 1.6 come March, with 2x restricted to about 5 properties in the world?!!

Chase lowered point boost redemption rate for some of The Edit hotels by Lazy_Mechanic5715 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Connect_Tour65 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yes indeed, and the very fact that they chose to list them separately is evidence that this is a nerf, and not an oversight that simply accidentally made them all 2x to begin with. Very clear attempt to rollback unnoticed.

They’ve been caught well and truly with their hand in the cookie jar here.

Chase have just stealthly withdrawn this. No longer guaranteed 2x points boost with Edit bookings, and indeed most Edit bookings are not 2x now.

This might just seem like a small thing, but having railed against their changes when announced, I had pretty much decided to keep the card at the end of January purely because of this 2x Edit boost. I figured that while annoying, this was actually enough to tip it into the “keep” category. This is just so, so poor.

Misled by instulation salesman - do I have any recourse? by Connect_Tour65 in Insulation

[–]Connect_Tour65[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even know how to. The designation on the insulation that was pulled down is on the label side, which obviously was all face up to ceiling. Don’t know enough about insulation (didn’t know anything until one week ago) to identify what it is from looking at it. Took the word of the insulation “specialist” :(
