    khorum’s salt mine

    Salt grinders are dumb. It's not like you're cracking a pepercorn. Salt is the same ground ahead of time and in a grinder. Just buy your salt the size you want to use it at.

    On the officiating side, they had a hard hit that got buzzed for replay. They played the audio between the ref and the replay booth as they went back and forth whether or not to call a penalty. They eventually decided not to call a penalty, which was the right call. It's already better than...

    Plus people care about who services their loan if they ever have any kind of an issue. Whether it's financial difficulty or dealing with insurance claims, some servicers are way easier to deal with than others.

    What he probably meant to say is they didn't sell the servicing. Because that's all you interact with on your loan. Or it's a really large or unusual loan that somehow got portfolioed but that seems really odd for a credit union.

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    If you don't pay off the card, the bank will charge you the interest rate on the average daily balance for the last cycle. Since she ran it up and paid it mostly off, the majority of the month will be at the higher amount that the interest was calculated at.

    2019-2020 NHL Season Thread: Uber Missed the Blues Victory Parade Edition

    The irony of that rant is that the Hawks only had too many players on the ice because one of his players interfered with Kirby Dach trying to get off the ice. It should have been a Blue Jackets penalty anyways.

    Relo: Chicago --> The Heart of Crazy

    We have dedicated streets for busses in Seattle too. It sucks for the car drivers, but it does encourage mass transit. Works well for me as I take the bus because I'll be damned if I'm paying $300/month for parking.

    Relo: Chicago --> The Heart of Crazy

    I moved from Chicago to Las Vegas in January a few years back and I did the more Southern route through OK City and Albuquerque (I-40). It's about 3 hours longer to go this way according to google maps, but you mostly avoid the crazy traffic things. For your trip you can detour through Las...

    I read somewhere it's between 3-4% of their overall revenue. Getting people in the door gives them an opportunity to cross sell them managed products. They also make money on the flow order of the trades themselves. It's how RobinHood makes a chunk of their money. Though that may not last...

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    Reward cards in Europe are not nearly as good as their American counterparts because Europe doesn't allow the banks to charge people that don't pay off the cards nearly as much. So there's less money for rewards. For example, I also have the Amazon card, but it pays 5% back on Amazon stuff.

    Almost all of us are American and we don't use that terminology here nor (I think) those specific products for loans. It may be more helpful to ask a board that's based in the UK.

    Yeah but that would require the refs actually seeing it. They admitted they didn't see it and called the result. They didn't even call a penalty at first, then it was a minor (put Eakin in the box), then it was a major + game misconduct.

    I don't have any experience with Joybird, but I got these (Target : Expect More. Pay Less.) from Target for way less. They're not solid wood like those are, but they're sturdy enough for regular usage and look nice. If you want real wood, then obviously these aren't the way to go.

    So apparently there's a rule that if you get a major and it also injures the player you hit, it's an automatic ejection. That's what the ref told Reaves after the hit.
