| blu 12/18/20 1:20:34 AM #17 | I keep wanting to play every night but its usually too late...or too early now that Im on vacation. I got the switch version, its surprisingly good. Except text chat, I cant figure out how to scroll through the conversation, unsure if you even can. |

I don't trust nor need digital currencies because I'm not involved in illegal shit. it doesnt really deserve this reputation theres a lot of legitimate interest in crypto and its philosophy and at work Im surrounded by people who buy it for investment (gambling) reasons |

| blu 12/17/20 7:37:58 PM #4 | Zareth posted... Isn't bitcoin mining pretty much dead because the amount of electricity it takes to do it is less than the value of what you're mining? My friend lived in an apartment with free electricity for a while. He bought a few computers dedicated to mining. |

| blu 12/17/20 5:16:45 PM #12 | Oh @EclairReturns what was the role about how much was the compensation? We have similar backgrounds and Im still hoping to move to around Hawaii in 5-7 years. Obviously dont have to be specific. Theres likely < 10 jobs I can get in Hawaii staying in my current field. So gotta wait for someone to leave and hope they take me but I imagine completion for Hawaii maybe worldwide or heavily favored Hawaiians. |

| Topic | Got my fourth new credit card this year |
| blu 12/17/20 12:18:24 PM #4 | pedro45 posted... Any card suggestions? Depends on what you're looking for. https://kevlarlover.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Card+Recommendation+Flowchart+v15.html Hmm, general cashback is difficult. People usually get a few different cards for this to make sure they always get 3-5% back, like the Amex BCE, Discover it, and Chase freedom. It depends on how much you spend, but I'd look more for sign up bonus cards. Like you should be able to get a rewards bonus of ~$500 pretty easily on a 1% card once ore more a year and to make up the difference between 1% and 2% for percentage cashback will take like an annual $50,000 of spending on your card. I know fidelity has a 2% credit card...if you're looking for cashback and don't mind using debit over credit (which is another conversation), you might look into a kasasa high yield checking account. The APR is commonly 2-3% and many of them offer something like 2.5% cashback on purchases up to a few hundred monthly (depends on how much you usually spend). Anyways, The Southwest Companion Pass is amazing, I basically got BOGO flights for two years (early 2020 - end of 2021), but it's rather difficult to get right now because Chase isn't approving business cards. Something to maybe plan for so you get it 2022-2023 if chase starts approving again. Baclays AA Business is great for some free american airlines flights, low spend high reward to get the sign up bonus. If you've applied for less than 5 cards in the last 24 months this is the best for cash back bonus, if you're more than 5/24 go for the capital one venture. |
| Topic | Got my fourth new credit card this year |
| blu 12/17/20 11:33:08 AM #1 | World of hyatt i kinda had this one planned for a bit, I shouldve looked better for a new card but the Hyatt Ill probably actually keep for the free room instead of canceling like usual Theres a Marriott card with like a $450 annual fee but the bonus is like $1500 I think the spend is only like $5000 but also getting my current card shouldnt affect getting the next ones because this is chase and I believe thats Amex |

| Topic | I left my cat at home when going on vacation and... |
| blu 12/16/20 10:45:00 AM #1 | After one day he started crying so bad. Just meowing and crying and walking around and he sounds like a whimpering dog not a kitty :/ I think hes lonely. He was only alone one day, then someone came by to play with him on Monday and Tuesday. Im still gone for few days and someone will drop by every day or every other day. I didnt set the cameras up until the morning I left so I dont know if he always does this when alone or is just super lonely and realized something was different when nobody came home the first night. idk, someone cant watch him 24/7 but its such a sad sound |

| Topic | Damn the hub got rid of a bunch of their compilation videos. |
| blu 12/15/20 9:06:09 AM #71 | deoxxys posted... Theres probably some technology that can scan for matching video frames Probably, but say a 20 minute video has 28800 frames to check, lets say you check 10% of them (2880) against a database probably with over 1,000,000,000 frames....I just don't see it being practical but maybe I'm wrong. Or you can take a random 4-5 frames a video but then that lets through a lot of false negatives especially if someone wanted to pad the video. |

| Topic | I hate long plane rides. |
| blu 12/12/20 7:40:49 PM #8 | EclairReturns posted... Was that still the case inside the plane? When I rode on a plane in September, people were only spaced one or two seats apart. Not bad, about 50% capacity for this first plane with three seats a side. Ill see what my next is like. LinkPizza posted... I love place rides. Though, I usually end up falling asleep. Though, I live to look out the window during the day. The clouds look awesome when you are above them... I used to also. Then there was a month three years ago I took about 30 plane rides, and it lost the effect on me. I still look and see how great it is, but it lasts like a minute instead of hours. I actually started Ori and it really helped the time go. Got bored of Pokmon and Breath of the Wild after a few minutes. |

| Topic | I hate long plane rides. |
| blu 12/12/20 5:40:29 PM #5 | JigsawTDC posted... I always try to opt for taking the train instead of flying whenever it's feasible. It takes longer, but I love train rides. You get to see a lot of beautiful sites. Plus, you have more freedom to move and it's way more comfortable than an airplane. I also find it's significantly easier to meet people, if that's your thing. The communal dining cars on Amtrak really help with that, but I've met loads of people in viewing cars or just my seating area. It's a great place to meet Mennonites. I don't think I've ever been on an Amtrak ride without a Mennonite presence. Thats actually a really good idea. Im getting increasingly social as I get older and meeting someone people on a train ride sounds fun. I used to take the train just locally and loved taking it but never considered long distance. Ogurisama posted... Shouldn't be flying right now anyways Moderately-high risk, but also the Texas medical association puts it as the same risk category as getting a haircut or eating at a restaurant...both very popular things judging by the parking lots. A flight has high utility and is uncommon compared to the standard list riskier activities, so Im pretty okay with just being masked up and somewhat distanced. |
| Topic | I hate long plane rides. |
| blu 12/12/20 5:12:10 PM #1 | five hour plane ride west followed by a one and a half hour plane ride east Im tall and too uncomfortable to really focus on the switch or to read. It seems plane rides are the perfect time to get some media consumed but I just end up zoning out |
