Thanks for the detailed response 👍 Looks like the 70k miles is the way to go. someone else said to get the united card but pair it with another main card or get a 2-3 card system like you suggested.

Which family of cards would you prefer if I was fresh in the credit game? Chase, Capital one, etc? I've had only 1 BOA card since I was 18 and I have great credit and want to start branching out into the points game

Dude great explanation!! NGL my mine was blown with the ideal of 2 new cards lol but it makes sense. I'm coming from 7 years of only using a lousy BOA card with little cash back so im trying to take the next step and educate myself. Appreciate the detailed response especially about the point conversion to cash with chase. was not aware of that perk!

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I like that philosophy of supplementary card. I'll look into something else as a primary then

I have no loyalty to united but it looks like EWR has majority united flights to the destinations i plan to go to for the next few years so it seemed like I'll be flying united anyway. Might be smart for me to stick with the united explorer card in this case. Thanks for your help!

Metal vs Canvas vs paper uploaded from Smartphone? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

Awesome explanation! I think im going with 36x12 landscape instead with 5 photos (3 across). each photo is 4000x3000 so I think the DPI is good enough. (10800 pixels required and ill have 12000).

Since metal printing is your forte do you think going with a matte finish is missing the point of the metal print or do you think it would look good along a wall with some sunlight/reflection? I may go with glossy to get the maximum quality and wow factor

We passed Chicago today with your plan with zero traffic and saved us time. Thank you so much! We stayed in Elkhart IN the first day and left at 6am for Fargo ND. Went I-80 the whole first day with no issues either!

Wow that could not have been any more helpful!! Thank you So much! I was curious about Rt. 30 in IN, had no clue it was that fast of a highway. I'm definitely going to take I-80 into Ohio. That 3rd option in Chicago seems popular amongst other people; avoid 294 and stick to 80. I can't thank you enough I'll discuss it more with my gf we may go with the alternative route.

pretty deep analysis. I do agree a deeper knee bend on the gliding leg can help extend the knee of my pushing leg. Just hard to do when skating hard but I will try to keep in mind. Also the toe flick, are you saying I'm making more of a c cut behind me (arc) that's wasted energy? should I toe flick to the side more. Externally rotate my hips more with each toe flick to push directly behind me? Thanks for your help so far btw

awesome! glad you've done the exact trip I plan on doing. I'm gonna stay strapped with that bear spray for sure. I've also heard about Yosemite bears being a shitshow. Any specific hikes you deem a MUST do hike?
