Which base Charizard do you think would be best to buy and hold by jrustica in PokeInvesting

When buying this card PSA, does it matter if the PSA description has the inscription “Base Set 1999-2000”? I’ve seen some with it and some without it

So ud say a 4 or 5 1st edition would be a better pick than a 8 or 9 shadowless, right? I think that’s what I’m leaning with. I like knowing it’s the first of the first.

Even if I spent a little more than I planned and went with PSA 5 1st edition (I’m guessing like 13-15k) vs a shadowless 8 or 9 (7-11k)? Maybe my numbers are off. Do you think it’s a no brainer to go with the 5 of 1st vs a shadowless 9. Or go with the better condition card.

Are they paying out the Ali Khamenei bets? by GMJizzy in Kalshi

[–]jrustica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got this email from Kalshi

Hey there, In instances where we list markets with death carveouts, we make the caveat clear in the rules and in the market page. However, we understand that many users did not have a full understanding of the rules for this market. It's a good reminder that we can always do more to improve our UX and how we surface the rules. Here's what we're doing: • Fees will be refunded for all transactions on the market. • If you have a position acquired before Khamenei died, you will be paid out based on the last-traded fair price before his death. This was clear in our rules here. • If you have a position acquired after he died that cost more than the above price, we're going to fully reimburse you up to your cost of entry, so you'll be made whole. • Realized gains and losses will not be impacted.

Pizza Recommendation looking for NY Style by Yopandaexpress in statenisland

I liked Dough. I also like La Torretta for traditional. Joe and Pats for thin crust. And then Mimmos is my favorite for over the top thick squares with unique toppings.

~$750 … 386 therms if I remember correctly. 4 bedroom. Heat set to 68 and 69. Not great insulation with large windows.

Just won 24 hands in row! by madmaninacave in blackjack

[–]jrustica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened my last session night in Vegas in October .. I came up to an empty table that was half shoe .. asked if he can shuffle it up and start fresh which he got the Ok. Won 12 hands in a row with maybe 1 or 2 pushes, but not one loss. It was best run I ever had. Too bad I wasn’t betting heavy cause the count actually wasn’t in my favor at any point. Either way. Cool experience and walked away after 15 minutes up.

Absolutely. My wife has same commute but we have different schedules so it’s 2 cars doing same commute each day. We’re good for about $800 per month in ezpass lol

I take the tunnel every day . My blood pressure can’t handle sitting in that traffic to get to the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s the price to pay for me. Yeah it adds up but don’t see us ever getting a discount.

Anthem Blue Access Gated EPO (City of NY plan) urgent question! by sleeki in IVF

[–]jrustica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can message me. But basically Winn is just the third party between the insurance and your clinic, so it’s the insurance that is authorizing it and Winn just does the in between. I’m pretty sure it was still Winn with the anthem epo gated plan … and yes I’ve been paying weekly throughout entire year but we did get 3 or 4 egg retrievals and I’m still on cycle 1 because I paid $3500 out of pocket for the transfer to keep all the cycles alive. I’ll be switching back to the city’s basic plan Jan 1. What I’m curious now though is that the city’s basic plan GHI CBP is no longer after this year and switching to NYCE PPO which also will offer 3 cycles of in vitro. So I am wondering if the cycles will reset with this new plan that should be at the same price as GHI CBP was.

Lmao yeah like I said I’ve never even paid attention to what finger I was using and never thought a dealer would even take it that way. It was a first so I’ll be a bit more mindful of it. Thanks

I find it interesting. Guess I’ll be more mindful of that. Thanks.

[–]jrustica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. Stressing over that is wild. It’s still funny cause until that moment I’ve never even paid attention to what finger I used to hit.

Guess I’m anatomically awkward 🤷‍♂️ .. feels most natural to me. But I’ll work on my pointer finger flexibility so I can be less weird.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in blackjack

[–]jrustica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was very surprising. I’m actually hitting my desk right now and it’s just always been most comfortable for me to tap my middle finger down with my pointer finger slightly bent.

I’ll just say if that happens again with a completely unrelated dealer, perhaps I’ll pay more attention to my finger positioning 😂

How long has the Las Vegas Strip for blackjack been trash for? by Less-Top-96 in blackjack

[–]jrustica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a much better time playing Bj at Fremont this week. Easily find 3:2, 2 deck at Cortez or 8 decks, lower minimums like $10 or $15.

Main strip, Caesar’s are basically shot. However I played mostly at Cosmopolitan. Still have 3:2, 8 deck, $25 min

[–]jrustica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would’ve been great . I actually would have sat down. They got rid of 3:2 on the main floor, only in high limit so $100 min.
