    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    It was on Credit Karma and Discover, which yeah I know is only worth so much. My score has gone up like 120 points to 750 or so since so not too concerned. I'm only using a couple hundred dollars of credit per month for the most part. Wife still owes a couple grand on one card, paying off the...

    So one more Charon about twice as good as we've seen and a Pluto much nicer than we've gotten so far by tomorrow morning, and then it's close encounter images/data. It's now been confirmed larger than Eris and has a polar cap. Pluto Is Larger Than Thought, Has Ice Cap, NASA Probe Reveals

    Even aside from Sports, EA Access is nice. Free Need for Speed, Battlefield, Titanfall, PvZ, Peggle and soon Dragon Age is worth the $30/year. Get ~6 hour trials of most/all EA titles which has led me to playing a lot more of them (usually enjoy the 'my player' modes. EA Access is why I...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I'd expect it would be Hope, but between the events in Ant-Man + Infinity Stones I'm sure they can whip something up. Michael Douglas said he's all for doing a prequel of some sort (w/ CGI de-aging of course) and said he'd love it if Zeta Jones could be Janet

    How are people liking Secret Wars still? Thought Age of Apocalypse was just OK (which = disappointment, had high hopes). Civil War was interesting, hell of an escalation from the incident that started it, for anyone interested: Kinda losing interest in Inferno, and have a stack of books...

    I'm still amazed that Swype missed the boat on making a fortune with their keyboard. When they were the only gesture keyboard in town they'd have gotten $1-5 out of a ton of people. Instead it was beta forever and that awkward installer.

    Ant Man. July 2015

    If you google it, most of the sites give you a bunch of context for these that spoil more of the movie than you need IMO. If you're interested in what the scenes are without as much: Mid-credits: Post-credits: So between the two of them... Better explanations and more...

    Ant Man. July 2015

    Really enjoyed the movie. Thought it was a little slow as it set everything up but once it started going I liked it a lot. Thought it tied into the universe well too. Guessing people will love/hate the comic relief, I loved it. Don't feel like I need to go back and see it again, but enjoyed...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yup. Not only that, but all the effects are their maximum values when using the cube to apply it. So if you rolled a 41% furnace or something, when extracted by the cube you'll be able to use +50%.

    I haven't ever been much of a fan so I'm interested in those suggestions too, but FYI Flash #41 that came out last week I've been told is decent for new and returning readers. Most of the post-Convergence books have been set up that way really.

    Eh, it's useful in context.
