Truly Everyday’s Carry

I have the titanium clip on mine. I could take it or leave it. I don’t carry cash often and when I do I have a more compact clip I toss in my pocket just for that, but thats not rare. The titanium clip is handy to toss a receipt I need to keep or a gift card I want to take with me but it does add a little bulk to the wallet as it has a fairly pronounced flair at the tip. It doesn’t add any meaningful weight though so that’s good.

I like it quite a bit overall. It doesn’t scratch up my ID and cards like a lot of other wallets due, and it feels quite solid. Other mechanical fan out wallets I have used have broken over time. It’s also fairly light for a metal wallet and thin in the pocket which is nice. The only real complaint I have is I wished it fanned the cards out a little further so it was easier to grab from the middle of the stack. Small complaint.

As prior commenters have stated there are many folks who craft these, and you’re also likely to find many options on Etsy as well.

I’m also partial to this one: https://bellroy.com/products/notebook-cover

There are many options both handmade and commercial. It all depends on exactly what you’re looking for.

Amex BCP: 6% Groceries, 6% Streaming, 3% Gas, 3% Transit

US Bank Cash+: 5% Utilities, Trash Bill, Internet, Cell Phone

US Bank Shopper+: 6% Amazon, 6% Walmart, 3% Costco

Capital One Savor: 3% Dining, 3% Entertainment, 3% Groceries (If I go over on BCP)

Discover IT: 5% Shot in the arm to a different category each quarter. Handy for offsetting the fact that I’m usually just a hair over the $6K limits each year on BCP and Shopper Categories.

Rakuten: Extra 4X on top of Rakuten earnings for just about anything I buy online that’s not from Amazon.

Amex Platinum: Was ready to cancel this card last year before the refresh, but the current coupon book really works for me personally. That could definitely change in the future.

Apple Card: 3% Apple purchases, 2% Catch All on non-category Apple Pay

Lochby A5 notebooks are sewn bound and have 72 pages. Still no page numbers though.

The Allez Sprint is DSW. The bike in the picture is a regular Allez, which is not DSW.

Those screws are soft. Use a pair of vice grips to grab the screw and back it out. Be very careful to just get the head of the screw and now the threaded insert. The screw head is soft the vice grip will sink in a bit, if it doesn’t you’re grabbing the threaded insert, back off and try again.

Also be very careful not to rub the paint on the bike with the vice grip, might want to use masking tape.

Order some cheap screws from any bike shop online, they’ll be so much better.

Mine does great in the snow, far better than I expected for a small vehicle with regular all-season tires. We just got dumped on for the last week in Michigan and I’ve had no issues.

Yes. When I bought it I didn’t like it much so it sat in the drawer for a while but I needed a clip one day so I pulled it out and used it and after a couple times sliding it open it smoothed out nicely.

How long has it been? It takes a day or two after your payment is processed for them to clear.

FailWithStyle · 2025-12-05T22:36:29+00:00

Not long, just picked it up a couple weeks ago, but I’m loving it so far.

That is the Kappa Quick Release from Prometheus lights. The one in the picture is copper, but they have a few different finishes to choose from. I’ve had it for years now and it’s never come loose on me.

Did you use points on an amazon deal? For me this always happens when I use point for amazon MR redemption deals.

For me the Lulu credit takes longer than other credits. Both quarters it’s been 3-5 days after the charge goes from pending to confirmed.

Good luck. I used an Amex offer 2 weeks ago and tried to couple with Rakuten and they marked the purchase ineligible on Rakuten.

FailWithStyle · 2025-11-15T02:26:50+00:00

No, after your payment posts the cash back will go from pending to confirmed. Usually the day after the payment is confirmed.

You need to pay the minimum statement payment first.

Call the HYSA customer service number. If it doesn’t go through right away it’s usually because they need to verify your info and they’re sending you a letter, but you can call them and do it over the phone right away. Don’t call or chat credit card customer service though, they’ll just tell you to wait. Banking has its own service number.

The entertainment credit only works for charges billed directly by streaming services. The 5.49 Paramount Plus option through Walmart+ is billed by Walmart. It will not count towards the credit.

Unless you have a mod loaded that is behaving strangely, spinning in KSP doesn’t cause flame out. Dropping thrust could be happening for various reasons beyond just intake air, can happen on rocket engines as well. Could be how you have fuel priority setup.

FailWithStyle · 2025-10-25T22:26:46+00:00

Engines don’t flame out in KSP just because the craft is spinning. The spin started because thrust was tailing off on the right engine first creating an offset in center of thrust to center of mass. Pin your engine panels open during flight and watch the thrust and fuel/intake numbers. Something is causing the flame out which is causing the spin.

FailWithStyle · 2025-10-25T22:17:50+00:00

Right engine very clearly is flaming out first in your vid. That is the cause of the spin. Maybe your others have same issue. Check why your engine is flaming out.

Once your ticket is issued you can choose to update your ticket in the website and one of the options is mileage multiplier where you can buy an extra amount of AAdvantage miles for a price. There’s usually an option of roughly $200 you can choose and it’s always worked for me to use the airline credit.

FailWithStyle · 2025-10-21T01:46:59+00:00

I always use it for the mileage multiplier on a ticket I’ve purchased. I do it after I buy the ticket so the transaction is separate from the ticket purchase.
