I read the Cuba post, and IF that is takke a drunken post, then we're talking about a pretty serious level of boozer. See, someone who just ties one on occasionally would tend to write sloppy while drunk (lots of spelling mistakes and typos.) Someone who can post drunk and have his writing be free of grammatical, spelling, syntactic errors etc. is a pretty serious level. Like a guy who you can work next to and have whole conversations with and never realize he's drunk ALL the time until someone tells you and then it clicks. Anyway, just my two cents.
My bad. I don't read his blog at all. I was just responding to the weird comment.
I just found a new supply of forks!

So every time I pass the Red card thread I hope and pray it'll still be alive when I get home for bz and do an AOR
Any over/unders on its life span?
Do they plan on widening program to NY (please say no)?
 And finally been trying to figure this out - Who exactly makes $$ here?

I can't imagine them disappearing without even rolling out nationwide. I do think they will be around for a while. If in the same capacity as now I am unsure about

Being that the main perk target advertises with it is the 5% savings and the free shipping I assume they are expecting more people to shop with them. So target is the one making more money with the card (indirectly).


We do.

And that too!

"I'm only here so I won't get fined". I feel Iike Mr Lynch is in a yeshiva and only going to night Seder so he won't get a k'nas.

Pilot today asked over the PA system for permission to descend from 35K to 33K to avoid turbulence.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Did you give permission?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Anyone know of a Youtube video I can use to demonstrate this Mishnah From Maseches Sukah (Perek 4 Mishnah 9):

עָלָה בַכֶּבֶשׁ וּפָנָה לִשְׂמֹאלוֹ, שְׁנֵי סְפָלִים שֶׁל כֶּסֶף הָיוּ שָׁם...

וּמְנֻקָּבִין כְּמִין שְׁנֵי חֳטָמִין דַּקִּין, אֶחָד מְעֻבֶּה וְאֶחָד דַּק, כְּדֵי שֶׁיְּהוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם כָּלִין בְּבַת אַחַת.

All things being equal (i.e. assuming their values, you could have 1 of x or 1.5 of y), what points would you rather have?

SPG, MR, UR, TY?

In other words, if you had $10,000, and you had to pick *one* of the above to buy, what would it be?

There's a thread where there's a discussion between Dan and ilherman about it, if I'll find it I'll post it.

Can that really apply? I thought this ALWAYS depends on what short/long term plan you are pursuing.

You would have to tell me the ratio each one has to the other.

Great.

Assume further that you already have a million in each currency so that this doesn't affect planning.
