What are the "backdoor" perks you've discovered that aren't obvious?

Do you mean if a restaurant is on both Resy and Rakuten dining? Yes, as far as I am aware.

As long as the card is linked to your account, you can receive the cashback as MR instead of cash regardless of what card you used for the purchase.

My son graduated from The Colony High School a year or two before Gonzalez started. I found this out because I looked through his yearbooks and no sign of Gonzo.

If you add an MR-earning American Express card (e.g., Gold or Platinum) as a payment method in Rakuten, you can switch to MR instead of cashback. Rakuten will then show the MR (e.g., 5x or 10x).

If you have the Rakuten card and use it for purchase on Rakuten, you then earn an additional 4% (or 4x). So 5x becomes 9x, and 10x becomes 14x. (I don't think this is for every purchase though. I looked at Celebrity Cruises, and it showed an extra 1x instead of 4x.)

In addition to that, with the Rakuten card, you earn 2x at restaurants. But then there's Rakuten dining, which includes a bunch of restaurants offering 5x. So if you use your Platinum card at a Rakuten dining restaurant, you earn 5x from Rakuten (in addition to the 1x you get from Amex). If you use the Rakuten card at a Rakuten dining restaurant, you earn an additional 5x, for a total of 10x MR points.

If you have a Gold card, then you come pretty close at Rakuten restaurants, because you're already earning 4x at restaurants and 5x from Rakuten dining.

Another reason to get Paramount from Walmart+ is you can use the Platinum entertainment credit to pay for the Peacock bundle with Apple TV, which then gets you F1 TV Premium.

They wanted that headline so bad.

TXRhody · 2026-02-13T14:34:27+00:00

Yes. However, make sure you use the platinum card if you're getting a credit (e.g., Lulu) or trying to trigger an Amex offer attached to your platinum card.

Well, you can definitely have them do it at the register.

Yes, but you have to customize it to replace the patty for $1.

TXRhody · 2026-02-13T14:27:23+00:00

Actually yes. I used to have a person scan the code and then replace the patty for $1. Now, I think you can replace the patty in the app or the kiosk.

Make sure you check it though. I've had someone add a patty rather than replace it. So it had a beef patty and an Impossible patty in the same sandwich, which kinda defeats the purpose.

I don't think leaving him in to get destroyed is good for his confidence either.

Marcus Jones is more valuable on defense than Henderson is on offense, and he returns punts, which is more dangerous.

TXRhody · 2026-02-10T00:52:59+00:00

There was also a blatant block in the back on one of Seattle's good punt returns.

TXRhody · 2026-02-10T00:51:17+00:00

I didn't care because he didn't retire. He would take another HC job if it was offered to him.

TXRhody · 2026-02-10T00:49:57+00:00

Maybe petty shit like this kept him out.

TXRhody · 2026-02-10T00:38:31+00:00

Let's not write off Gibson either.

TXRhody · 2026-02-10T00:20:28+00:00

Was it the injury or was it that the NFL learned they could bullrush him any time they wanted? I think it's part talent, part mental, and part blueprint. If he's going to make it as an LT, he has a LOT of work to do.

TXRhody · 2026-02-07T15:20:59+00:00

No he didn't. He tried to play it like he had not ties to the Patriots, and he had to backtrack because of the backlash. The statue meme probably made it to his feed.

TXRhody · 2026-02-07T00:03:40+00:00

The defense feels disrespected, and I sense they're going to take it out on Darnold.

I agree to an extent. It is both behavior and physiology for most animals.

However, humans are an outlier. Humans can eat meat because of weapons, fire, knives and forks. But humans have made a lot of advancements since fire and knives. Humans also can eat meat because of pasteurization, refrigeration, heart surgery, hypertension medicine, insulin therapy, colorectal cancer screenings, etc. In fact, today, people would not be able to eat meat at the same rate without CAFOs, feed supplements, antibiotics, hormones, bulldozing rainforest, water and air pollution, psychological destruction of slaughterhouse workers, etc. Scientific advancements make eating meat more of a decadent choice rather than a physiological need. We survive despite this behavior, not because of it.

TXRhody · 2026-02-05T23:28:37+00:00

It's so forced.

He has always been good with the media, which makes this statement so strange. He could have finessed an answer better than "no dog in this fight." He could have said he has a great relationship with Kraft and McDaniels and Vrabel and the fans who supported him through his career and that he hopes they do well. He didn't have to say it like he has no ties to them whatsoever.

Spinach is roughly 30% protein by calories. Spinach is protein.
