You live together for 35 years and a lot of states she would still have legal rights not much different

35 years is a long arse time and kids are usually well gone well before that.

Is the friend devastated? Makes you wonder how happy they actually were if she wanted out like that

Just remember that 0% is great but there’s no such thing as 0%. It’s subsidized by the purchase price.

The point he’s trying to make here is that 0% financing means that $50k truck they would sell you with 2.99% is now going to be bottom dollar sold at $51,500 because they are increasing the price about the same as their cost to internally finance it to you. 3% of $50k is $1,500.

So you maybe able to finance it for 2% and save money.

Those numbers are mostly made up I have looked into actual interest rates.

From what I've found on reddit, most hotels dont even require you to change rooms either even if its 2 separate bookings. I like that chase does it this way than the Jan-Jun/Jul-Dec way AMEX approaches it, ebcause you can just turn a 4 night stay into 2 night stays with the full $500 credit in this instance without having to game it over 2 different parts of the year.

I think they likely did this because The Edit has not been as well received as the Amex version, so its their way of keeping it competitive. The Edit has fewer options, not as good of deals, etc.

I went down a (stocker ish) rabbit hole a couple years ago and she is married to some tech dude worth like $400 mil and lived in Jackson Hole.

Part of the deal his lawyers made is that he sits out the first 2 games.

Ha not quite. From what I remember, it wasn't a "deal". It was the offer his lawyers gave.

The NCAA or whoever basically said you are done.

His side countered with "2 games".

Very state and company specific. Best advice, burn it all then drop your notice.

Sure you can burn it, but you have to be approved and get your job done. You guys act like its super easy to just use it.

I would suggest that any company that routinely has massive amounts of employees with huge PTO balances should consider other forms of compensation and time off. Maybe more holidays or something like that. It really makes no sense to anyone to do this.

As said, most companies that have accrued PTO will have a handbook or have this written down somewhere. That's the place to look. I own a small business of under 15 employees and I have it written down, simply because everyone tends to ask when they are fired, quit, etc.

PTO is simply a paid financial benefit. There's other ways to give time off, paid benefits, compensation, etc.

would also think, despite the label, if someone gets sick and can prove you knew people were really drinking it, an attorney could make your life hell

If it was sold in the milk section, I agree.

If it’s next to the dog and cat food in a cooler, eh, I mean people are stupid

How many people? If just a couple I don’t stress about lodging. Pack a smaller bag and leave your main bag in the car most nights. Just bring the carry on into the room with your toiletries, sleep ware, and next days clothes.

I’ll 3rd the life cave. Amazing.

I’ve done 2 loops. I started in Munich and went through Saltzburg and then down to lake garda to Venice and back to Munich. Then I did Munich to lake garda, back to Innsbruck, and finished in Munich.

There’s tons to do, drives are fantastic.

Find a grocery store before you leave and pack snacks for the drive and hiking. There’s plenty of places to stop but it’s nice to not have to.

What they wanted and were denied was some property tax relief for an extended period of time.


So still some sort of handout from the state?

The Bears wanted 2 things that literally every pro team both needs and wants:
1.) Help with infrastructure in regards to roads and public transit to and from. All locations for the Bears need that. Soldier field is a major PITA to get to for most fans.
2.) Long term tax plan. Sure call it what you want, but again the city of Chicago and Illinois is already bending them over they just needed to know how much lube to have and no one could give them that.

Everything else was just icing. They want like most current NFL owners want, a venue that they can host an array of events and not just 10 NFL games on Sundays a year. Which would benefit ALL their fans and the locals.
