There was a website at some point that would put up themed meeting phrases each week, with points if anyone used them and caught it. I still remember a few of them.

“I don’t want a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, I expect a pot of uranium.”

“We either play barbie or go home. I didn’t get come here today to be Skipper.”

“I don’t say we build a barbie dream house, I want use to build a barbie on ecstasy house.”

“Is this a queen alien problem? Or more of a face hugger we can ignore for a while?”

If that’s on the list add The Maxx

Closed 2 Weeks for Renovations.

Ever since the ocean was invented, naval combat vessels have focused on staying above the water. While some may claim this excludes submarines, this in fact accounts for the fact a submarine is not a naval combat vessel, it is a torpedo-storage container full of gay men.

However, recent trends in russian naval tactics have seen their black sea fleet deploying under the ocean, using its depths to hide like the fragile and majestic octopus. Deep ocean ship deployments have been increasing over the parts few years, and offer a benefit of excellent cover, stable positioning, and - bonus - resupply needs greatly reduce as well.

Naval aviators tend to hate the ocean, because it is not the air, but as navies redeploy their fleets underwater (there are rumors india and pakistan may soon experiment with this technology), the only answer is deploy air assets to watch them.

I’d argue security through obscurity was gone by 2000, for anything that can be pinged.

Congratulations, you’re one of today’s lucky “feels like I’m 10,000.”

I have a town called “Go’way” because that’s what they told every cartographer from the closed gates.

Not only can you do that, in some circles you will need to wear a lifejacket to keep from drowning in pussy.

Boomers gonna love how this turns out.

If they’re deviled eggs, I try to stop before $20, so probably 4 dozen under Biden, and maybe 5-6 eggs (if I can find them) under Trump.

oh that’s right we don’t have a credit card or travel Lemmy yet. Okay, take down a few notes.

First you haven’t done anything terrible. Probably you’ve knocked your credit score down about 10 or 15 points. Not because of the opening and closing, but because multiple hard inquiries of your credit can cause the score to drop. That will repair itself over the next six months.

Something good to know is that American Express cards will only give you their sign-up bonus once per lifetime per person per card. I know that Chase will let you reapply two years after you drop a card and will give you the bonus, and I believe that’s the standard for other Visa cards or MasterCard.

I strongly recommend that you look at cards based on the rewards plan that they’ll provide you and the amount of spending required for you to be able to get the reward. I own several businesses so a $4000 or a $6000 spend is not a big deal for me over three months, But when I didn’t have that, I would need to figure out if I could make that spend over the required time period and go one card at a time. so back in my early days I was getting one card every three or four months, and then canceling cards about a year or two in, and then reapplying for them two years later.

I know that sounds complicated, but when you wanna fly to Australia, free and business class, and you don’t have a lot of money, that’s how you work the system.

Something good to know is there are essentially three tiers of credit cards. There are basic cards that will give you a lower reward, have a low spending requirement, and are generally with no annual fee. Then there is a second tier of cards, which will usually have a $95 per year fee, which is waived for the first year, and they have more rewards and perks. Then there is a third tier of cards that will have much higher spends (sometimes $6000-$10,000 in 3 to 6 months), but they will have much larger rewards along with about a $500 fee. I recommend staying away from the higher to your cards unless you can play that game and it’s not an issue.

OK, that is our Lemmy primer for everyone interested in credit card points.

Edit: I also strongly recommend you get one of the lower tier cards now, and keep that one with no anual fee from now on. Part of credit history is card longevity; I am a charter cardmember of a card from years ago for that reason.
