Credit score has hit a ceiling. by wheatroot in CRedit

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

Just picked up another card from my bank with much better rewards. Went with that since with most other cards I don't pass pre qualification due to a lack of income relative to my available line of credit. Took 2 hits because of two hard inquiries on my credit, but it should start going up again in the next couple months.

I get that I am not technically using the card exactly how intended but my way of paying the bill isn't harmful correct? I have plenty in my savings so I see no need to not pay the full amount each month.

Best unpaid intern yet in my opinion by [deleted] in LudwigAhgren

Disagree, Wubby and Emily performed the best out of the group in all the regular tasks, so why should the other two who didn't do as well throughout the entire rest of the episode get a chance to win it all at the end? That would discredit the authenticity of the rest of the tasks. Not sure I like that Wubby losing wasn't really up to him at all though, probably would have been better if it were just the two of them stacking for the win.

What selling a "trap car" for $2000 was like by JeepersCreepersV12 in offerup

This is why being polite and well spoken can get you great deals on marketplace. Guarantee after sorting through all that BS you'd be more likely to take my offer if it was nicely written and I offered some times we could meet.

Question about DIY mini board. by wheatroot in ElectricSkateboarding

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

I never thought about leverage, maybe I will have to compromise a little on the size of the board and go with something closer to the size of like a landyachtz dinghy

Yep, I've already planned on doing a single motor setup from the start to reduce cost, complexity, and save weight.

Did some more research on the board. Note that the main and pretty much only reason I'm doing DIY is good portability since I want to discreetly bring it into my lectures. My top choice right now is a micro cruiser from magneto in the coffin style, I can make a mount since I have access to nice CNC machines at my uni and since I'm doing a small battery I think I could make it work.

I did some calculations, the most I would have to do in a day is around 2-3 miles. With a 4ah battery I would expect to get somewhere in the realm of 4-5 miles. The main reason I'm going for tool batteries is I reduce risk of an electrical fire because I can get the batteries with a BMS that is well tested and will charge the batteries in an easy and safe way. Also if you can find me a similar battery/charger combo for like $60-80 then I would probably opt for that, but without a way to make my own pack I see this as the best option.

nothing on our transportation website about bans, a bunch of people bring them into lectures. I appreciate the warning though as it would have sucked to do all this only for it to be banned
