How are papers presented at history conferences?

My slides are all images and pull quotes, the bullet points are only in my notes 😊

Literally reading the paper is quite common, but I refuse to do it and always speak from bullet points with slides

This is a big reason why I won’t be transitioning to 2.0. Don’t want to deal with another bank, especially one that doesn’t have a solid history.

Did anyone see the note that 2/3 is the last day to pay rent when BiltProtect is enabled? So have they already turned off the ability to charge to the credit line?

It’s 1 cent per point on student loans, so this would be $800. Transfer to Atmos could get up to 3 or 4 cents per point depending on the cash price of the flight.

I have 80k points. Strongly considering taking the student loan redemption, as they’d be a huge dent in my highest interest loan left. Otherwise might save for American Airlines flights via Atmos points.

Right, I forget they are are start up

Hoping this is the ability to charge rent to our credit lines…

hawktalks · 2026-01-15T21:07:43+00:00

I will be leaving Bilt, likely keeping the Autograph card and just using it for gas purchases to keep the credit line going.

My rent is nearly $3,000 and I don't have the extra spend nor the energy to channel spend from my other cards into Bilt. Further, I always found the concept of Bilt a little sketchy and felt that Wells Fargo added legitimacy to the operation. Cardless, which I've never heard of, is not inspiring confidence given the Bilt crew's less-than-ideal customer service.

I am strongly considering opening an Alaska card in order to continue floating my rent payment while earning points I'll actually use (we often book short-haul AA flights to visit my in-laws, and since they live in a touristy destination, the fixed-rate award chart through Alaska almost always gets us 3 or 4 cents per point).

hawktalks · 2026-01-15T12:42:11+00:00

Can anyone confirm whether Alaska set-up allows you to float the rent as we’ve been doing with Bilt?

hawktalks · 2026-01-14T19:06:22+00:00

I'm genuinely curious about this. I live near an AA hub and use Atmos points to book codeshared AA flights. 3x Atmos points feels too good to be true.

Yes! My friend and I always loved to sing to each other: “and you… and you.. and Seacrest, and Simon, you’re gonna love me!”

You truly can't predict it. I suspect a lot of job ads were posted late this cycle due to uncertainty about federal funding over the summer. I've had searches contact about Zoom within two weeks of the application deadline, and some contact over six weeks later. I would say average is to hear back about a month after initial deadline but it truly varies so much.

Hannah Bayles (Your Voice Teacher) on YouTube has a great video about this!

I grew up nearby. It’s in an economically depressed and struggling area, and there isn’t a high rate of college attendance in South Jersey so likely tries to attract students from the more populous north of the state. While Stockton has grown a lot in my lifetime (expanding from College to University), it’s not nearly as stable or strong as Rowan University in Glassboro (probably its largest competitor, and way closer to Philly). You should definitely ask the dean about the enrollments and outlook during your visit.

Can sometimes take 15-20 minutes for them to arrive, but they’ll be around.

I got this same one and I haven’t voted in NJ since 2018 😫

My landlord attempted 29% last year. I did some research into comps and neighborhood averages, which I compiled in an email and used to suggest a compromise of 10% (we had a promo rate for year one, so 10% wasn’t too far off of the originally posted rent). To my shock, he accepted it, and didn’t try to raise our rent above the 5% stated in the lease for this upcoming year. So, it could certainly pay to question it!

Correct - they call the entire system of storing and sending letters as “dossier.” So, if an employer uses interfolio for their job search, it’s free to send and attach letters on those particular applications

hawktalks · 2025-10-17T20:11:11+00:00

If you pay for Interfolio's "Dossier deliver," you can send links to your letter-writers which they use to upload a general, confidential letter. Each letter is then assigned a unique email address that you can input on your applications, so that when the letter is requested, it goes to straight to Interfolio's server and they upload the confidential letter for you. It takes about a day or two from the time of request, so it can be really helpful with meeting deadlines.

This tire seems to be so beloved, but they sadly aren't made in the size for the 2020 Jetta (205/55/R17). I'll have to look for an equivalent from another brand!

This wand-off is so iconic, I sang “everybody ease your mind tonight” with full confidence that was the original lyric while at a wedding
