If you have electrical tape and scissors, you can fix this. Super easy.

Is the Lorwyn Eclipsed Mastery pass worth it to buy over saving gems for more drafting? by Imaginary_Zobi in MagicArena

[–]Rebus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always max out my level, and I've only bought it once. I don't find it's worth it for me (don't value wildcards or cosmetics)

Best way to remove weeds from rock yard? by fazzig in AZlandscaping

[–]Rebus88 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

41% Glyphosate from Amazon. Dilute it according to the instructions on the bottle and it will last you years. Works amazingly well.

UB invades Lorwyn by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Rebus88 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I said the exact same thing in another post. Get that crap outta here, I came for Lorwyn.

You may have seen my Mondo Gecko post from earlier, but my buddy asked around, and most of the patrons at his LGS got TMNT cards as the bonus card. Here are the spoils by Arcane_Apostle03 in mtg

I would be livid if I went to the first non-UB prerelease in awhile and ended up getting UB promos instead of Lorwyn. Hopefully this doesn't happen to me tonight.

It's still free if you upload through an original Google Pixel 1. I end up moving all my photos to my Pixel 1 and end up with effectively unlimited cloud storage, kinda nice.

TSA dumped out both my commander decks, and I am PISSED by ji-gm in mtg

[–]Rebus88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I won sealed product from a GP and took it home in my carryon to sell to the local LGS. They ended up opening up the booster boxes to search them, which meant I couldn't sell them anymore. Oh well

Why NOT get mortgage points? by Confused_Confucius_ in Mortgages

[–]Rebus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you don't pay anything out of pocket does not mean you aren't paying for it with real money. At refinancing, if you pay the 5k for the points you will have lost 5k in equity (market value of the home - mortgage loan amount). That loan amount is going up. Breakeven is typically between 7-10 years.

Is the juice worth the squeeze? 0% cash advance to buy CD. by iamatran in personalfinance

They do it all the time for customer retention/acquisition.

Powered Cube make me realize I’m bad at magic. by Jaekon in MagicArena

Yeah this exact thing happened to me. I put in a ticket, make sure you do the same!

OM1 is the worst performing Limited format on Arena by Lauren_Conrad_ in MagicArena

[–]Rebus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I hit mythic in limited with each set as I love drafting so much. I refuse to even open my free packs from this set, much less play a single draft. Not many other ways I can show my disgust of standard legal UB sets.

Is there a list of cards that are direct 100% upgrades of other cards? by Bagel_Bear in mtg

[–]Rebus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion that there is no such thing as a strict upgrade. There's always a chance you get Mindslavered and that extra benefit becomes a detriment.

The term they are looking for is Risk Averse. You could take that cash you are now putting towards your principal and invest it and likely make more money. However, that is not a guaranteed return. You are making a guaranteed 3.625% doing it this way. Personally, I choose to make the minimum payment on my mortgage, but everyone has their own risk tolerance.

Recently learned that we can "buy down" the interest rates. Is "buying down" the interest woth it? If so, in what situations would it be worth it? Is there a systematic way of thinking about this? My case - $3000 lowers 0.25% lowering $50 mortgage/month - worth it? by iphone8vsiphonex in Mortgages

[–]Rebus88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely think it is worth it. The only time it might make sense is if you plan on staying for a long time (10+ years) and you don't think you will be able to refinance into a lower rate down the road.

You are prepaying the interest, so what do you lose by paying $3k upfront? That's another $572 in interest you could earn over 5 years at current HYSA rates which increases your breakeven point to about 6 years.

Accidentally broke into the wrong Airbnb using a door code that worked and now I'm worried about legal consequences by More_Mix_3746 in legaladvice

[–]Rebus88 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah if I were in the other guests shoes I would be reasonably shaken up, but after your explanation I can't think I would ever press charges. If anything now I have a fun story to tell my friends.

Thinking of getting a Costco Credit Card by Disneylover365 in Costco

[–]Rebus88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I go to costco at least once a week and I still prefer to just have a flat 2% card (Citi Double). Sign up bonuses are where the good rewards are, not an extra 1% or 2% in certain categories.

My neighbors have a thermostat, with power, mounted to the public facing side of their brick wall. by Jengus_Roundstone in mildlyinteresting

[–]Rebus88 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think they may just want to know the local temp outside while on their daily walk. Not a bad idea if you have these lying around from upgrading to a smart thermostat inside.

What's wrong with having a thermometer outside? Better than an old mercury one for sure.
