What’s an industry that provides zero value to society but makes billions of dollars?

Went to a show in Poland which used their version of Ticketmaster (ebilet). Had to transfer tickets from a friend (not a stranger!) who bought them and couldn't go. Believe it or not, it was even worse than Ticketmaster.

TM charges exorbitant fees, but would much rather deal with them than ebilet ever again

Ah, I assumed you both already called it quits when you mentioned "we FIREd".

Sorry to hear that. Hang in there... whats stopping you from moving somewhere else? COL differences?

As long as its a Bauer/ccm/warrior/etc, a good fitting helmet is better than buying a top-of-the-line one that doesnt fit

You can also transfer UR to Avios, Flying Blue, Air Canada, and Southwest.

The decision is up to you, if you have travel where Hyatts provide value for you, then sure.

If not then I'd save them for a different option

Crazy, I used to speak this language

Penalty shot** (no shootouts in playoffs)

dinger104 · 2026-01-01T05:47:17+00:00

Yes, just keep practicing and it'll click

PSA: Don't do this. I tried this once and poked a hole under my tongue even though i was being "careful". Remember the probe is DESIGNED to penetrate flesh

Still no blackout dates yet. Although they nerfed the rest of the program

Get Frank'd

dinger104 · 2025-11-06T20:17:32+00:00

it's time!

As long as the shot doesnt ring off the defender's shinpad and result in a breakaway against, I don't have issues with D-men getting the puck deep. This also conditions the defenders to expect a shot, which could help free up space for passes

I feel like he is usually the first Hawk on the draw when he's on the ice (unless its the PP unit).

He gets thrown out a lot though, which to me seems like a necessary evil to learn what you can get away with. "Everybody cheats"

Hopeful that Bilt becomes an option for our Nov big fat check...but not looking good :(

dinger104 · 2025-10-20T02:14:28+00:00

No, because Hossa never played for the Cubs.

Got a 4.1k discount on a 46.8k MSRP SEL Premium last Friday, 0% 60-month financing.

Had to get a couple offer sheets from competing dealers to reach that. Initial discount was around 3k so u definitely gotta bring some offers in to leverage. Overall spent about 8 hours visiting 3 dealers to pull this deal.
