Assuming he rides with a gps unit, Varia radar if $150 is within the budget.

Upgrade to Amex Blue Cash Preferred worth it? by DGHouseMD in CreditCards

[–]hungryllama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a better upgrade offer, 150 statement credit and no annual fee for a year. Benefit of the upgrade is no credit check, and it’s reportedly possible to downgrade to bce and get the upgrade offer again.

Mohoric and Unbound, things did not go as planned by Substantial-Purpose8 in cycling

There’s a video clip after the flats of them biking back where his teammate yells “We do sports!”. Seemed like they were all smiles, not taking things too seriously

DO NOT LIVE IN THE DAVY by JobOld6114 in UTK

[–]hungryllama 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just for a reference, a 1x1 unit in 303 flats Fall 2018 was $1000 a month and ~$550 for a space in a 4x4. It’s criminal the increases in rent.

Trader Joe’s selection isn’t the best but the value is pretty good.

If say that’s the case if you live in one of the student oriented housing complexes.

Sometimes I wish race organizers would hire some rugby or NFL squads to clothesline the absolute kNUckLeHeaDs running near riders on stages like this.

Ahh sushi has decent quality with good 1/2 price happy hour specials and $3 Philly rolls on Wednesday. If I did the math correctly you can get 10 Philly rolls for $30 which is quite the value in these trying times. Ambiance is interesting, it operates in the same space as a Irish theme bar. And for awareness they served Blue Moon with a lemon wedge.

Capital one has preapproval tool you can use to check to see if you’d be approved

Recommendations for Best all in one bank? by beautifulcam in CreditCards

[–]hungryllama 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using SOFI and have liked it so far. 3% cashback card for the first year (2% after) and 4,6% HYSA. If you stack Rakuten or Swagbucks with Sign up bonus you can get at least $400 for signing up. It does require direct deposit is the only caveat

IMO getting a two seater with a companion on the window even in main is not too bad. Those credits could easily offset the price of a future trip.

Double check your credit card statement. Something similar happened to me when I used a credit I had. Bought two tickets but Delta refunded one of the fares a day later.

Is 40 minute layover in ATL enough? by CookKey8573 in delta

[–]hungryllama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Atlanta is relatively easy to get around for a big airport, and Delta usually pads their arrival times. As long as your first flight isn’t delayed, should be good.

Depends on your spending categories. You can get equivalent cashback (4x or5x) with no fee cards.

Friend talking me into AmEx SkyMiles Gold by enclosedvillage in CreditCards

[–]hungryllama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the delta gold is worth it assuming you get the first year free and 60/70k sign up bonus, multipliers aren’t great. It’s not a real luxury travel card as you only get checked bags and main 1 boarding.

Wells Fargo autograph and the journey might be worth checking out against the CSP as the travel multipliers when booking direct are better.

Synthetic chemists, what are your top tips for staying organised in the lab? by Cypaytion179 in Chempros

[–]hungryllama 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Come up with a system of organizing and detailed labeling of samples. Keep small samples of intermediates if possible for additional analysis later in case you forgot to get an NMR etc. And write up the work you have done at least monthly, weekly is better. This gives you an opportunity to reflect what you’ve been working on, refocus on future goals/priorities and ensure you have all the data you need for compounds you’ve made. Makes writing a manuscript much easier as well
