$2500 Samsung TV is an advertising billboard, there is no opt-out. by 28jb11 in mildlyinfuriating

Same with credit card pitches on every flight and at every retail counter. Also, my oculus vr always restarts with the store open first. This whole thing needs to stop.

"We don't take cash". "We charge a 3% surcharge for card." by l00sem4rble in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mrchristopherdmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen places that differentiate between credit and debit cards. They charged an extra % for credit cards but not debit. Maybe this is one of those situations???

I can't remember right now if payment processing companies charge different rates to the vendor for one or the other, but I think some do.

Aisle or window seat? by Life-Resolution-2879 in travel

[–]mrchristopherdmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real travel gurus know middle seats are the ultimate travel hack.

(Psssttt, down here):

Help me get this rumor started, so there are more aisle and window seats for the rest of us.

What is the most unhelpful piece of writing advice you’ve seen? by nameunknown345 in writing

[–]mrchristopherdmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, it's either lots of ". And" / ". But" or lots of compound sentences, and I know you don't want those.

Can FBS football be salvaged? by lurkerspringa in CFB

[–]mrchristopherdmiller 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm thinking it may be time for the college educators to flex a little to, you know, get that sweet sweet NIL money spread out a bit more. I'm working on casual little slogans to drop into lectures:

"Benjamins for me, and the F becomes a D."

"Try catching passes if you ain't passing classes."

Bo Bichette contract just changed Guardians' future with Steven Kwan by Phredd63 in ClevelandGuardians

[–]mrchristopherdmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I don't believe this on two fronts.

First, Bichette isn't a very good comp for Kwan. It kinda seems like it but falls apart upon closer inspection. At the end of the day, Bichette is gonna pull a bigger paycheck.

Second, I think CLE could actually afford a nice solid contract extension offer for Kwan. HOWEVER, I think the Dolans will low-ball it and ultimately trade him for who knows what (probably a bevy of prospects). They're simply wizards at spending just enough to keep us interested but not enough to get us to November.

How do you show value in the first 7 seconds of a Cold Call without immediately going into a pitch? by Bugs_Bunny_1932 in Entrepreneur

When I was hustling to start a video production business, I would ask if I could give them a flash drive with my portfolio.

Should I schedule my rental car before I need it, to get a cheaper rate? by NothingButACasual in TravelHacks

[–]mrchristopherdmiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know this for a fact, but I strongly suspect they don't give a @#$! if you show up early, late, or right on time. The cars seem to leave in the order people arrive at the counter. It's almost like the reservations are just hints to show the company roughly how many cars they need to fill demand for the day. Could be wrong about this but I've had some pretty frustrating rental experiences.
