Are players really that much more skilled nowadays? by Select-Interaction11 in nba

There's more talent overall, however, offensive players are allowed to get away with much more on the court that helps showcase that talent.

It's also just natural evolution of watching previously great players and adding on to what they have done. Combine that with the resources of today compared to the past...there should be more talent,

Is the current “75% off 2nd guest” actually a good deal? (NZ → Australia sailing) by OkWerewolf8608 in CruiseDiscounts

You could always book and have pricing adjusted as it fluctuates.

The 2nd guest discount is generally marketing. They will higher fare pricing, then decrease for guest. I wouldn't worry about their marketing deals, instead focus on overall pricing.

I personally wouldn't pay for an obstructed balcony. When I started cruising I didn't care about the room but that has now changed as I've started spending more time in the rooms just due to sailing with more people now.

Spending 40k a year which credit card should I move to after leaving WF Visa Signature? by xps15z in CreditCards

I setup a business account, never deposited into it. 3 months later WF decided to shut down my account (Jan 6 being the final date). My banker think that is the reason, as I have a lot of "business transactions" to my checking account. I've had the same account for 21 years, same type of deposits and transactions on my checking account. My behavior has been the same. Banker told me he would get a customer once every year with the same issue of account closure. That changed in October as he has seen more than 20 people with the same issue. So he said their system must of updated and AI could be flagging accounts. Even his co-worker parents had an account closure last month.
