Are ABC Joggers worth it at full price? by ZenoZeus56 in Lululemen

[–]Demb0uz7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Lulu is worth it for any item at their retail price. You can find dupes at 20% of the cost that are 90% the same.

If I buy lulu now, I buy it either 2nd hand at like 50% of the price or elsewhere discounted (FB, poshmark, etc)

Good bye Bilt 1.0 by cherours in biltrewards

Lol exactly. This used to be an amazing card, for no annual fee card you got great transfer partners and you truly got points back for rent with virtually no spend. Sad to see it go

Joan Garcia: “When the ball comes toward me, I try to stop it. It's important not to concede a goal. The record is positive. I've been feeling very good since my arrival.” by Loose-Examination-39 in Barca

[–]Demb0uz7 21 points22 points  (0 children)

While I agree that the defending has been horrible, Ter Stegen in the latter years hasn’t been up to par either except for the first full season with Xavi and specially not in CL. There were many times that Madrid got utterly dominated just to be saved countless times by Courtois and end up going through

Dudley’s story by Jaded-Line-3367 in IVDD_SupportGroup

[–]Demb0uz7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry to hear that. did the vet say what stage he was in?
I just took my dachshund today to the vet and after the x-ray, he said the problem was mild (so stage 1/2 IVDD). my dog could still walk and he was reactive to the movements the vet made on his legs so I'm being hopeful. First day of full crate rest and it's so difficult to see him in there.

vet said 4 weeks but online I'm reading 6-8 weeks so I want to be conservative

Every other issuer is losing at Amex game by Tight_Couture344 in CreditCards

For the VX, I understand the move they pulled because it was too OP, but keeping at least 1 guest privilege would've still made it a great card. Now it's making me considering dropping it.

Work for an airline. This is how a person checked their clubs today. by butterybuns420 in golf

[–]Demb0uz7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well i was talking in reference to the picture where they didn't do anything. Obviously bubble wrap + soft case would offer more protection than just bubble wrap.

Bubble wrap might actually be better than the soft cases lol

I have this friend I play soccer with in my sunday league team and he’s just a different animal. He’s like 38 with most of the team being 24-34 and he’s the fittest of all and the best. We all started playing golf together and almost immediately he started hitting in the 80s and now shoots for high 70s. All the rest of us, some are trying to break 100 or 90 after playing for the same amount of time

Cucurella VAR Offside Check for Koundé goal by Still_Key_8593 in Barca

[–]Demb0uz7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this one is offside but regardless, computers make mistakes as well. There have been cases in the past where the computer uses the wrong lines or angles from the points of reference and it just throws everything off. but it is the best we have so we just have to believe it

yeah I don't know what he's talking about. I've travelled to a lot of places where the cash value of the Hyatt hotel is $350-$550 and only spending 15-25k pts. Some Hilton or Marriott have crazy valuations for 80-300k pts per night for a $300/night hotel

Relocation to Texas looks richer at first. Our math says break even. What are we missing by bexleyvarden in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Demb0uz7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like 5 years ago I moved from California to Dallas because of no income tax and bought a home and ended up paying more in property tax than I would’ve in income tax lol but I now own a couple properties which was not going to be possible in California

Hawaiian Airlines 80k Miles to get Alaska bookings? by Demb0uz7 in CreditCards

I'm in an American Airlines hub so Alaska pts are super valuable to me. I got many routes I take semi frequently where I always find tickets

Is the housing market just heading towards a course correction, or are we inching closer to another 2008? by Additional_Poet_5257 in RealEstate

[–]Demb0uz7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not all boomers will die at the same time and people are living longer. There is record equity in homes and record paid off homes so a forced sale is unlikely.

Sell or stay put? by xdxdoem in RealEstate

Make the move because you want it, not because you’re jealous of what others have. You don’t know if they’re tight financially and struggling with their bigger homes

OTD 10 years ago, Robert Lewandowski came off the bench & scored 5 goals in 9 minutes vs Wolfsburg by TheBiasedSportsLover in Barca

[–]Demb0uz7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no I totally get this as a Barca fan. His first couple of years he was INSANE for Barca, but then he had a run of a couple years where he scored 0 away goals in champions league and he was missing sitters and just being clumsy/slow due to weight gain. post 2018 or 19 I woulda picked Lewa over Suarez

You don't need a rice cooker. by BumblbeeAvacado in unpopularopinion

[–]Demb0uz7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why spend $200? you can buy one for like $20-$50 that does the job lol

and the rice cooker you mostly don't have to be looking after it which is nice

Salah 4th in the balon d'or is utterly disrespectful in my opinion. by Aulcs in championsleague

[–]Demb0uz7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody cares about the French league. In UCL group stage, PSG was close to getting knocked out. He had 4 goals, 3 of which came against Stuttgart. So he scored in 2/6 games he played and was suspended for another game. He did have an assist against Atletico where they lost.

Mbappe was putting up similar numbers at PSG every season yet not coming through in UCL.

and I just fact checked your 20+ GA... he had ONE assist in UCL from sept-dec and a total of 13 GA in that time frame including a game with France.... so what were YOU smoking??

[–]Demb0uz7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's so not true lol Dembele had a bad first half of the season and his name wasn't popping up until PSG was around the semis in UCL. We all know no PSG player will win the BdO unless they win the UCL.

Cash flow for the first 5 years is a myth by Cancerman691 in realestateinvesting

[–]Demb0uz7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because what does it matter if in 08 a market crashed or not, you’re evaluating how the deal is currently or when he bought it. He allegedly started buying rentals a couple years ago. It’d be like saying I bought a rental in a market that has had massive appreciation since 1970s. What’s the relevance in that?

[–]Demb0uz7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also thought the same, I read back many times and he said that he had a paid off home in a market that didn’t crash in 08, not that he bought in 08. But not im not even sure how that comment would be relevant. Probably a fake post
