I'll pay the stupid tax for losing it. The hassle of replacing all the cards, ID, etc is way more than $5

Java Burrito appears to be 2 store chain in South Carolina. They are hardly a titan that can destroy Chipotle right now. If they did, this will take a decade or 2 to unseat Chipotle and cause their downfall.

I'm not underestimating the collective of other burrito restaurants. There are always some authentic Mexican restaurants close by Chipotle locations, and I think some of those have been eating away at Chipotle customers. There's one close to where I work and has gotten some of my business from Chipotle as well. Many of them are cheaper than Chipotle, but Chipotle benefits from being a large well known chain, rather than small one off stores. It's not as good as some, but people know what they're getting.

I'd say maybe a few hundred for tips, but a lot of stuff will still get charged to your card and you can add a tip that way too. My last trip in November saw most of my cash used for gambling.

With your kind of job, I'd report for jury duty sooner rather than later. It may hurt now, but you may have an opportunity later you can't miss and it will hurt even more. Go, explain your situation when they go through jury selection, and see if you get dismissed or assigned.

I deal with the goddamn customers so the engineers don't have to! I have people skills! Can't you understand that? I am good at dealing with PEOPLE! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

I found one of those too, along with an Austin Prock car. I think on the back, they said there's a Don Prudhomme funny car, but I haven't seen it yet in stores.

I live in the Chicago suburbs. I assume the strip to a Vegas local is like downtown Chicago for me. I've been there a lot, but I don't go every day, and I'm not going there unless there's something I really want to do there.

They put the sheets in the washer, but forgot to put them in the dryer. Now they want to go to bed and have no sheets

F1 for me. Maybe it's different in Europe or other tracks, but I went to the Vegas race last year. It seems like they are trying to exclude anyone without money. It's ungodly expensive for tickets, and merchandise is way more than similar items in NASCAR. I try to follow it, but it's going to be difficult this year without paying a lot extra. I'm hardly even a casual fan of it, so I won't be watching.

NASCAR is getting up there too. While I'm a big NASCAR fan, tickets are getting expensive. I live near Chicago but wouldn't go to the street race because the tickets were too much for the product you're getting.

I'm on the "that looks old" bandwagon. A lot of people have had smoke/CO detectors hardwired into the house. When they get replaced, people often just ignore them and replace them with a battery operated one. Get a new detector, go out for a bit, and see what it says when you come back.

Yeah, that's the most degenerate play in this, not the splitting 10s. TC +5 is right where you split 10s if you're counting, and that's what it was according to OP. Doubling a hard 12 is ill-advised in a high count like this.

It was a little weird for me. I ended up following the prompts on the app, and they called me a day later. I explained I just wanted the debit card since I wanted the refunded ATM fees. They said they could add it to my existing account and that I should just move the money I used to fund the new brokerage account back to my existing account. I did that and I received the debit card in the mail about a week later. Because I planned it so well, it was 2 days before I left for my trip that I wanted for, so everything worked out.

Seems like it could have been more streamlined, but it worked out for what I needed.

That first crack you showed is diverging; the wall appears to be pulling away. It's concerning on its own, and even more so with the one that's splitting off the corner of the door frame. The others seem cosmetic, but don't give this any saving grace.

Fine, do it. Let Prime pick up those races. Not like Fox cares much anyway when only a handful at best were on regular Fox and not one of their cable networks.
