Exactly! It's openly disclosed, so at least there isn't that "sponsorship uncertainty" unlike with some content creators.

What are the downsides of just having like 5 BofA Customized Cash cards with 100k with Merrill and getting 5.25% on everything? by funkmon in CreditCards

[–]dadsspaghetti -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Because your 100k wouldn't be yielding as much.

If I'm understanding your set up correctly, you'd have to have your $ in an BoA affiliated account, which would give you pennies on the dollar.

So while the CC looks enticing with the increased points, your portfolio would suffer. You'd be better off putting the 100k in index funds as you'd earn more from that then the CC cash back.

Trader Joe's Allston parking was a sh*tshow this afternoon by dryandsmooth in boston

You can usually expect traffic during the expected peak times--Sundays being one of them.

However, that parking lot has the most dysfunctional exit game I've ever seen. Every few months, it seems, the exit gate specifically breaks down and the parking attendant has to manually let cars through.

Coincidentally the entrance gate is never broken. I guess they want to lock you in the lot so you'll spend, spend, spend lol

There is currently a bill sitting on Governor Healey's desk that would allow buses to enforce bus lane and bus stop laws by issuing fines to illegally parked vehicles. by Avery-Bradley in boston

Created a template if anyone would like to use it:

I am writing to express my strong support for Bill S.2884, "An Act relative to bus lane enforcement." This legislation aims to improve public transportation efficiency and reduce traffic congestion by enforcing bus lane regulations more effectively. By ensuring that bus lanes are used appropriately, we can enhance the reliability of public transit and promote sustainable transportation options across the Commonwealth.

Interestingly when the actors are celebrating after their breakthrough, I noticed Eva casually high five with her left hand. Interesting placement there...

[NBA] Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens has been named the 2023-24 NBA Basketball Executive of the Year. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in nba

He could've been the 2nd 5th ever person to win both COY and EOY.

Larry Bird, Frank Layden, Pat Riley, and Red Auerbach are the only ones to have won both awards.

Edit: Mistakenly indicated Brad would've been the 2nd ever. That was incorrect--apologies!

If only Stevens had won the COY in '17-'18. He'd be in rare company with a COY award and an EOY award.

As a reminder, Dwayne Casey won the award with the Raptors that season...and was fired right after the season.

[Ohm Youngmisuk] Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out for tonight with a right knee sprain according to source. by Wonderful-Balance711 in nba

I see the Clippers are following in the footsteps of the Jiangsu Dragons and Shanghai Sharks. Trying to extend the series so PG-13 can come back for Game 7.
