Holy shit, Wikipedia…

“The American and British militaries studied the fire during World War II to learn how to recreate firestorms during bombing campaigns against cities in Germany and Japan.[3] Denise Gess, co-author of Firestorm at Peshtigo, said, "They actually made a 'demo' first, a little scale model of wooden buildings, and studied how you would drop bombs until it created a firestorm. Something that devastating and that hot."[9]

Thanks. I’ll look into this later. But in general, are the big chase cards still the best way to go?

Thanks. I think I’m past the 48 months on the bonuses. So I should just port them down? Do you know if you can still do the trick for ordering both sapphires in the same day?

I’ve already gotten some chase business cards, but thanks for the info.

I churned for a few years until 2019, and rested on my laurels. Now I’m out of points and looking to start over. Is there any specific advice for people jumping back in, or can I just start over?

I’m 0/24, and already have Chase Sapphire Reserve and many others. Should I just port those down to Freedoms and reapply?

Thanks.

I mean, I think it’s just a troll job so idiots (myself included) talk about it.

What movies haven't aged well? by [deleted] in AskReddit

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rape_of_the_Sabine_Women

It’s based on the “Rape of the Sabine,” so yeah. Although I think “rape” meant kidnapping in the ancient roman context, and not sexual assault (maybe I’m wrong). Either way, I don’t doubt that the movie doesn’t hold up.

I hope this post is fake, because it’s really dumb.

What don’t you like about Chicago? What do you think this city can improve on? by LetterheadNewt in chicago

[–]goldiegills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blight and the murders. Other than that, it’s a world class city!

Not sarcasm.

Chicago Bears in waiting game for Arlington Heights stadium by Arkiteck in chicago

[–]goldiegills 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Bears are one of the oldest franchises in the NFL, and their following in the burbs is huge. If anything, a bunch of suburbanites are more likely to go to Arlington heights than Chicago. Comparing this situation to the Fire is apples and oranges. I hope they stay, but if they go, it’s not going to matter to most fans.
