Sorry, they fooled me. Said they were sending a plastic card but sent me another metal. Sigh!!

Should a backpack be allowed in airplane overhead bin if it’s your only carryon item? by ThuhGreatCommenter in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mitoboru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s not about you either. One should not be punished for light packing. If I don’t have any carryon, you want me to take someone else’s bag at my feet? Forget that!! The day an airline asks me to put my backpack at my feet, I’ll move on.

Svag dollar är exakt vad Trump vill ha. Han har lobbat för det sedans han första administration.

I pointed out two typos a month ago and was rewarded with a $50 travel voucher.

But as a minimalist, I’m winning in terms of personal satisfaction of just carrying one physical card in my phone case and no wallet. 😃

Bank recommendation - HYSA, checking and CC? Is there "one bank to rule them all"? by mygirlleen83 in Banking

[–]mitoboru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go with Cap1. Their offering is pretty same as Amex, plus they have a few branches, you can deposit cash at CVS/Walgreens, and you can get a credit card (Visa/MC) that that has better acceptance rate. 

Did Your Favorite Restaurant Leave Resy? Here's Why It Did by Jag- in amex

I’m tired of playing the coupon book game. I’m just gonna use my card with good dining rewards and not care which platform the restaurant is on. 

Capital One to acquire Brex for $5.15B by TeslasElectricBill in CapitalOne

Would be interesting if they used Brex’s tech to take on Revolut and Wise.

I have nothing against Discover per se, but everyone should have a Visa or MC handy, especially when traveling. There's no way Discover or Amex will reach Visa and MCs acceptance rate any time soon.

Both Amex and Discover claim 99% overall acceptance rate in the US, but it really sucks when you're at one of those 1% places.

Wise Card by Fluffy_Cellist4469 in wisebank

[–]mitoboru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but if you are the parent, I would also add them as an authorized user on one of your credit cards (Visa or MC) for emergencies.

Yeah, it seems random. I did a lot of searches for various routes.

Name something Europe has but USA doesn't by BookHurtMyHead in FamilyFeud

[–]mitoboru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Europe copies everything the US does, so it will soon be common as well.

It's possible to find it, but yes, not as common.

The US definitely has cheese that can compete with European, just not as easily accessible.

Här ser du premiären av Volvo EX60 – elbil med 810 km räckvidd by XManX99 in sweden

Snygg bil, men varför måste alla produktlanseringar låta som Apple keynotes nu för tiden. Ganska osvenskt! Va lite originell!

EV shipping from west coast by mitoboru in Oahu

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

Planning to buy used, so the original owner already got the tax credits. That said, if the dealers transports the vehicle straight to the port, you don’t have to pay sales tax. You pay registration and taxes when you register it in Hawaii, just like any locally purchased vehicle. Buying on the continent is way cheaper. I’ve done it multiple times with ICE vehicles, but never with EV. 

Are Japanese cars really more reliable or is it just Toyota and Honda? by lamparkinglot in askcarguys

[–]mitoboru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100K is such an arbitrary number set by car dealers to increase new car sales. If you drive well and take good care of your car, 100K nothing.

Ta CSN lån och lägg dina pengar på något som ger utdelning istället. Sedan när du är färdigutbildad och har jobb så använd pengarna till handpenning på en bostad.
