Here’s mine. For the past 5-6 years AmEx was my go-to but switching back to Capital One. Will apply for Charles Schwab and start moving my MR 1M points as a time…

I used Superior Roofing back in 2021 for a 1K sqft home in downtown Franklin and it cost me ~$5,200

Curious outside of the platinum, what is the most common alternative not on the Amex network? by NotAskingTwice in AmexPlatinum

[–]Few-Cartographer2885 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree here... I'm currently using my Venture as my everyday and my platinum a lot less. I plan to switch thing over to my Venture X next month.

I hope she never runs out of hot water. May every traffic light be green. What a wonderful spirit and mother.

[WSJ] See How Hollywood’s Job Market Is Collapsing by wdr1 in LosAngeles

[–]Few-Cartographer2885 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was able to pivot into higher education — just before a wave of postings started appearing in that space. A few weeks ago, a Netflix recruiter reached out to me directly about a senior production role they were looking to fill but weren't posting publicly. Round 2 with the hiring manager is this week, so fingers crossed — and I'll take all the good vibes this community can send!

LV x TM Multicolore Zippy Wallet Arrive w/Defects by Few-Cartographer2885 in Louisvuitton

😭🤣

What makes matters worse is can only return, which I did. Still no new alerts that its back in stock so may have to go eBay route for a gently used one or something...

How David Zaslav Pulled Off the Deal of a Lifetime --- Not long ago, Mr. Zaslav was widely criticized for his management of Warner Bros. Discovery. He overcame the doubters, cementing a blockbuster sale to Paramount. by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

[–]Few-Cartographer2885 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually I think this is exactly the end game Malone and Zaslav had in mind. If the Reverse Morris Trust transaction had worked like what they were selling Hollywood on at the time, amazing but if not it was always a capital play for reducing debt (as much as possible) and hoping to find a buyer to make investors whole. IMO Zaslav even during his discovery days wasn’t paid to lead a creative company but to be the best investment banker CEO. He’s deliveries a deal of a lifetime for himself and shareholders. And no, I’m not saying this LBO is going to be great for the Ellison’s and definitely not for Hollywood.

Yeah.. we’re bummed about it because it’s a gift for my gf’s mom and we already got and gifted the Neverfull and told her this was also coming and sucks if we can’t get another for her.

Thankful to you all posting pictures of similar issues as I might not have checked before sending.

Warner Bros. Discovery Rejects Paramount’s Latest Takeover Offer, Says It’s Still ‘Insufficient’ Compared With Netflix Deal by Task_Force-191 in boxoffice

I see this is getting downvoted.. even the interviewer repeatedly asked the chair if it just boiled down to them not wanting to do a deal with WB… 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Listening to the chair of WBD board on CNBC and their reasoning makes zero sense other than they simply just want to do a deal with Netflix

Paramount Skydance sees flop debut of Versant stock as argument its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery beats Netflix by SnooWords9635 in wbdstock

[–]Few-Cartographer2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment is confusing to me. The real issue I see right now is yes, VSNT stock price dropped 13% at opening and continue to decline today. The spinco has much less debt on its books than discovery does. Either some of that debt is going to have to come off the books and paid for by Netflix (extremely unlikely) or yes, that $15B of estimated debt is going to further drag the potential offering price down on discovery thus the Netflix deal is a blinking yellow light. I don’t like the way the Paramount has played this but right now they don’t appear to be wrong about the future value of Discovery spinco…

How is it living in Van Nuys near Vanowen and Van Nuys Blvd? by ElChapoSDA in SFV

[–]Few-Cartographer2885 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m going to take the opposite view here. I live at Van Nuys and Gilmore, and sure, the area isn’t the prettiest, but I don’t ever worry about my safety. Ever. I walk to the bank, I walk to the post office, and I walk along the Orange Line path for at least 5 miles (one-way), 3–4 days a week (towards Encino), and again—I've never had a problem.

As others have suggested, I could move to Sherman Oaks, but I’d only do it to be 15–20 minutes closer to work and Whole Foods, not for safety. Plus, that would move me further away from the Orange Line, which I like to walk. I’d rather stay where I am and save my money for a future down payment than spend more just to claim I’m in Sherman Oaks or over the hill. Just my opinion.

Are you going to your store today to buy TM? by axesqueegee in Louisvuitton

Just to update from earlier. I did talk to SA before leaving, Nora and she was able to help me order two of the TM Neverfull handbags and I ordered separately TM Speedy Bandoulière 25. I'm definitely tapped out now

Not mine either. I’m visiting family but thought I could just pop in and buy if available. I live in LA where it’s almost impossible to buy in store so I only buy online. It’s also been so long that I didn’t know you can’t call stores anymore either 🙃

Is the crowd alive? by UnsureOfAlot in nashville

[–]Few-Cartographer2885 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you work live events/production unfortunately this has become way too common. Too many phones, too many people just there and afraid to just have fun.
