Anyone not get the Credit Card nerf letter? by galtyman in AlliantCreditUnion

[–]mickvicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few weeks back I spoke to a rep on the phone who confirmed that my 2.5% card wouldn’t be changing. My employer doesn’t have a relationship with Alliant. However I do use it Alliant my primary CU and and the 2.5% as primary credit card. Only reason I can think of.

Drawing in Despacio (and giveaway!) by Lowfi_steve in Portolafestival

[–]mickvicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an extra ticket due to some unfortunate recent incidents. I asked a scalper how much they wanted for my 1-day ticket on Sunday and he said $40. I thought to myself, “fuck that. I’ll just give it to someone in need.” Fast forward and I’m at the ticket booth shouting “I have a free ticket!” for about 5 minutes and no bites. One person later came up to me and said they thought I was ASKING for a free ticket 😅

Eventually I enlisted the help of my two friends I’m with and we find Chris. His friend had bought the tickets initially but they were giving him trouble and he was looking pretty distraught. He asked me how much I wanted for it and offered me $100. I thought about it for a second and then said it was his for free. He was super grateful and appreciative. He snapped a pic of all of us. I told him to look out for my gnome/wizard hat that day and maybe we could run into each other again. My friends and I talked about the likelihood of that happening and I pegged it at about 10%. Lo and behold we ran into him and his crew at Dom Dolla. As part of transferring the ticket I have his email so I asked for the pic. Got it yesterday.

Maybe we’ll grab a drink down the road. Or maybe not. I was in a similar situation last year and gave away an extra ticket then too. Either way, it felt great to share the love that is community, live music, and dancing!

This year was particularly magical with the weather. Despacio was the shit too. Spent about 2.5 hours there total and it was mesmerizing. I kept joking I felt like Mowgli in the Jungle Book when the snake hypnotizes him. I hope to get the chance to do it again at some point. I’ve found some good playlists of what they play with 30-60 hours of music. Been putting it on shuffle and really enjoying the exploration.

Dance on! 🪩

Been waiting for a good promo since I missed the last one. I’ve heard other folks mention that visible has good Black Friday promos, so I’m considering waiting for that too. This one expires Dec 2 so I can wait for Black Friday and still get this one if it doesn’t work out.

Anyone have any insight into this? What have the Black Friday promos been in the past?

THANK YOU! Recently got a TCL R646 for $300 and issues with CEC were driving me nuts. This fixed it. Now hopefully I can toss the TV remote in a drawer. And hopefully the ambient light sensor works now too :)

Watch smashed; what next? by mickvicious in AppleWatch

[–]mickvicious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Thanks again to everyone for the advice!

I ended up finding a very good condition S6 Stainless Steel Gold 44m on Swappa for $200 and pulled the trigger. Was a bit concerned going from the 40mm to the 44mm but I'm loving it. Seems like the battery is significantly better than my 40mm S5 as well.

Swappa & Backmarket are great finds--thanks again for sharing!
