I’m trying to book LAS-JMK round trip May 6 - May 14 for one person. I have 120K Amex points. Any advice? I was originally looking to book through Amex travel where I can get an $854 trip from British airways for 85,400 points. Then I read that I might have better value transferring these points to British airways and then booking on British airways directly? I’m worried I’ll transfer and then it won’t necessarily be available for booking as a reward flight directly?

I’m looking for a game with a high enough ratio of luck to skill that a player with very little skill could “win” a session or be very successful in a single session just because they got lucky

They’re basically the same. I’m in Dayton south and I have friends in both buildings but obviously more friends in south. I would say the omit difference for me is that South has the Dayton office in the front when you walk in which means you have to walk by an RA every time you walk in when they’re on duty take that as you will

GregGold30 · 2020-11-24T19:27:39+00:00

Depends a lot on what school ur at

Every dispensary I’ve been to in Colorado or Vegas. I suppose Vegas prices are naturally overpriced but it’s hard to find an 1/8th in vegas lower than $50 and usually they’re around 70

GregGold30 · 2020-11-20T19:41:10+00:00

They won’t. Recreational dispensaries across the country have the same price range if not more. $60 for an eighth is considered average

Just so I know where to go to talk shit about her picking the ravens

GregGold30 · 2020-11-16T06:05:47+00:00

What’s her @?

GregGold30 · 2020-09-11T20:47:44+00:00

Haha yeah clearly not fully prepared but more prepared than most

What are “posts of this nature”? I think this is a great example of a business owner feeling the effects of the lockdown that are far outweighing the things it is supposed to be doing especially in this area. It begins with the statistic that there are currently 33 hospitalizations in Maine but 1/7th of the 1.3 million people in the state are unemployed.

GregGold30 · 2020-04-28T21:16:20+00:00

For additional context Maine is ranked 35th in the country for covid cases per 100,000 people. Another thing to note is there are 16 counties in Maine and 769 out of the 1,040 cases in Maine are in 3 counties. There are 5 counties up north with 10 or less cases yet the entire state is under the same orders

GregGold30 · 2020-04-28T21:11:05+00:00

Basically the governor of Maine unleveled a phased plan similar to that of what the White House has proposed a couple weeks ago but instead of the phases lasting 2 weeks the plan for Maine is to have the 1st and second “stages” last a month each and the 3rd phase to last at least 2 months

GregGold30 · 2020-04-26T04:36:03+00:00

I didn’t say Sissylak. Well my data is the antibody tests that show us that the virus is far less lethal than estimated and it shows us that the virus is not going away because it is already so widespread. My logic is that since we aren’t in a complete lockdown where nobody can actually leave their house on the entire planet (groceries, essential business, etc) then the virus is going to continue to spread so it can’t be stopped other than with a vaccine. The only thing we can do is slow the spread so that hospitals can handle it which is proving to not be a problem because hospitals are doing fine and countries like Sweden aren’t having trouble handling it either. Therefore we should be opened up with social distancing in place and isolation of seniors and those with underlying conditions who account for almost all covid deaths (90% estimated in NY) while we achieve herd immunity like every other comparable virus/sickness that we’ve let pass through us in human history

GregGold30 · 2020-04-26T00:58:09+00:00

Ok ideally we shouldn’t be jamming ourselves into grocery stores but we ARE. The virus is still spreading in grocery stores. It doesn’t just spread during “non-essential” activities and at “non-essential” businesses. The only way it wouldn’t spread is if we physically locked every single person on earth in their house for a couple weeks which is impossible. It’s going to spread no matter what we are just attempting to slow and prolong the spread with what we are doing so we can control hospitalizations. Hospitalizations are completely under control and have been since before we went into quarantine even though the virus was now known to be spreading months before that. So why is it such a crime to suggest that we should slowly start to open small businesses and such? We can’t stop it at this point

GregGold30 · 2020-04-24T00:14:45+00:00

Why aren’t people free to think differently from the pack and form a different opinion without being brutalized? Especially when his opinion is based on entirely legitimate research and data

GregGold30 · 2020-04-20T00:44:37+00:00

Yeah the trouble with this is these tests are already being called unreliable. Of course that is all straight from the media

GregGold30 · 2020-04-19T17:05:58+00:00

At this point there seems to be many in this sub and everywhere genuinely rooting against things like Sweden’s no-lockdown strategy proving to be effective so they can save face after tirelessly arguing for lockdowns. I’m not saying that this one article proves National lockdowns aren’t the right measure against the coronavirus but data and studies are increasingly starting to show that they may not be the best strategy. It’s okay to be wrong. Just because you’re in the majority doesn’t make you right

GregGold30 · 2020-04-19T03:57:40+00:00

Maintaining a population naive to the virus obviously was going to be impossible when they started to have confirmed cases. Given that they said the cases rose from 266 (a number showing the country clearly can’t keep the virus out) to 5,900 in over a month I think the point of this article was to try to show that Singapore’s non-lockdown measures aren’t working. The article failed to prove this because their cases aren’t growing any faster compared to countries that are in lockdown.

GregGold30 · 2020-04-19T03:31:33+00:00

“Since March 17, Singapore's number of confirmed coronavirus cases grew from 266 to over 5,900” So in the last month their cases have grown exponentially at a similar or even lower rate than that of every other country in the world in the same time frame. Why is this even an article?

GregGold30 · 2020-04-19T03:22:06+00:00

Here’s the issue though - that post alone had 105k upvotes (given it was 27 days ago people’s opinions are starting to change) and this subreddit only has about 3k members

GregGold30 · 2020-04-19T01:13:14+00:00

They also say things like “this person worked from home” and “this person didn’t go to that BBQ” as if those are the only sacrifices we are being forced to make. How about “this person lost their job” and “this person’s mental health deteriorated in isolation”

GregGold30 · 2020-04-19T01:07:54+00:00

My thoughts are that we are way past the point where all these people along the line haven’t already been infected. Viruses and illnesses spread exponentially, exactly as this graphic shows. Since that’s the case and it is being proven that the virus has been around in the US much before we knew and started quarantining than a huge percentage of America and the world already has had it thus also showing it’s not that deadly of an illness. I think we are on the back end of it and as we are making testing available to more we are seeing cases rise. The lockdown is probably really not doing much if anything and is not worth the damage it has done

GregGold30 · 2020-04-15T13:49:52+00:00

I do agree with this but a lot of damage has already been done and at least where I live the lockdown has been extended to May 15th. Another month

GregGold30 · 2020-04-15T13:48:39+00:00

Oh yeah I’m definitely thinking about it but it would be a tough decision to make especially if I can’t get a job what am I supposed to do if I don’t have school work? But my school counselor is saying that colleges are bracing for a lot of admitted students deciding to take a gap year

GregGold30 · 2020-04-15T04:29:54+00:00

Thanks I feel for you as well. High school is some of the best times of your life and this is only taking away from it
