  1. I've found his arch nemesis...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYWGF8Hrkg8   I couldn't help but think of Chris Farley the entire time.
  2. Flying ones was part 3. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Steel is fun and I used to enjoy it. But it is dangerous.   https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=413580   The OP in that thread is me:) The shrapnel is still in my arm by the way.
  4.   So...not evening acknoledging the 3rd or 4th?   I liked the firepower and everything in the 3rd. The 4th was sort of interesting showing the history of the town.   In as simple words as possible, if this 5th one is any good, it'll meet my expecations and I'll be quite happy. Some things you just like because you like them, not because they are great.
  5. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/doomsday-revision-predicts-wont-thursday-222549726.html   More of Camping's guys. He died in 2013. Who knows? Maybe the new guy is better at math!

  10. Probably won't find a place as cheap AND amazing as The Terminal. You can do more expensive but not necessarily better. Lots of parking begins The Terminal but if it don't get there designated parking it is $5 or so. Usually can snag a parking spot somewhere around though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  14. Sometimes all it takes to bring out anger in an Autistic person is simply telling them something that they do not wish to hear. This is in no way against Autistic people, but they can be very unstable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Could be faking it?!?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. And I disagree. I sold my 3's to buy 4's. I like them myself. Also, doesn't Hickok45 shoot stock Glocks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17.   Or an even better answer...that they simply do not know and are just doing as told. I'd at least respect that answer.
  18. It may not be considered kosher by some, but since I use YNAB to budget every dollar that I have and generally only use my checking account to pay credit card bills, I have my bank setup to automatically pay the credit card upon bill receipt each month. I technically (unless there is a technical glitch of course) cannot miss a payment. Then of course I have YNAB setup to automatically create a new transaction for each bill at the same time each month (roughly the same time it is received). Since I YNAB just about every single day, I have a 2nd line of defense that would work against technical glitches. However, remembering to manually pay one credit card bill is easier to pay several other bills that are setup on auto-pay to the credit card.
  19. Well, that may be true. Depends on how responsible he is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Not saying you are going to get rich. Just swing that if someone said "swipe this instead of this" and gave me cash back I would do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Yes, don't worry about what interest they are charging you. Worry about what benefits they are giving you. If your intention is to ever carry a balance then you shouldn't have one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22.   If you are reffering to the first link, that is basically 100% exactly what you asked for. It is a financial website that compaires checking accounts, savings accounts, financial acocunts, and credit cards.   If you are reffering to the second link, pardon me if I thought I would spend a bit of my time typing up a detailed way that anyone on TGO with an iPhone 6 and a Discover Card could get 10% back. Seeing as you are technically proficient, I assumed there is a 50/50 chance you have an iPhone (iPhone vs. Android, etc). If you were eligible for it I really didn't think you'd find better than 10% cashback on some purchases.     It might not get you there but neither will a job. Just like a job, car, gun, etc, a credit card is a tool. If used intelligently credit cards are great. Lets pretend that you are anti-credit card. Lets say you have $3,000 in your checking account. Lets say that someone skims your card number at the atm/gas pump. Lets say that they then withdraw every penny of your money, leaving you with $0 in your checking account. Now, lets pretend that everything goes smoothly and they decide that you weren't liable for this. It could still take weeks before you get your money back. What about bills that are due during that time period?   With a credit card (and trust me, it happened to me because someone stole my Discover Card and purchased an account at Christianmingle.com), if someone steals your card number and makes purchases, you are not liable. Discover contacted me that night telling me something was weird and to call them. I called them, was informed that just an hour ago someone created an account at Christianmingle.com, asking if I did that. I told them no I did not. They canceled the card number and sent me a new one overnight. Sure, I had to swap a few automatic bill pays to the new card number. There is no way jose that it would have been that easy had they stolen a debit card number and actually stolen all of your money in your account.   I'm just a huge proponent of credit cards. I understand that some people cannot use them responsibly. However, if you want to be responible then get a credit card and use it responsibly. There are too many benifits to using a credit card not to have one.
  23. Well, there is Nerd Wallet:   https://www.nerdwallet.com/   There is also this:   www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/90882-discover-apple-pay-10-to-20-cashback-literally-free-money/
  24. Now, I know your Daddy told you that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, but listen up. I'm about to tell you about something I realized today. I'm going to tell you how to get hundreds, up to $1050, free. You theoretically only need a Discover Card (or enough credit to get one), an iPhone 6 or better running iOS 9 or better, and a bit of time to think. Disclaimer: All of this is meaningless if you cannot be responsible with a credit card. Now, I'm going to assume you don't have a Discover Card. If you do not, go ahead and sign up for one here. Simply signing up for a Discover Card will get you $50. That's not a huge pot of gold, but it is just the start. Become a cardmember and get $50 Cashback Bonus* with your first purchase within three months, and earn rewards on every purchase after that. After you get your Discover card in the mail, or if you already have one, all you have to do is link it to Apple Pay. Open the "Wallet" app on iOS 9, and at that point simply add your Discover card. Now, the kicker is that until the end of this year (12/31/2015), Discover is giving 10% cash back for purchases made with the Apple Pay system. That is $10 for every $100 spent! I am 99.99% sure they are allowing 10% cashback up to $10,000 in purchases, giving you $1,000, or basically two Glocks for free. We are excited for Discover cardmembers to have the ability to use Apple Pay. Rewards have always been important to our cardmembers, and we want to make sure they receive a generous offer for shopping with Discover and Apple Pay," said Heather Roche, vice president of rewards at Discover. "We want to encourage new and existing Discover cardmembers to add their Discover card to Apple Pay with a few simple clicks using our mobile app, take advantage of this 10% Cashback Bonus, and experience the ease and convenience of using Apple Pay. The other kicker? If you signed up for a new card they have a promotion where they are doubling your cash back for your first 12 billing cycles. Now, this is my take on all of it. Now, I'm not suggesting anyone go out and spend a butload of money on stuff they cannot afford. What I am advocating is that you use your brain and purchase things with Apple Pay that you were already going to purchase. Here are some of the stores you can use Apple Pay: http://www.apple.com/apple-pay/where-to-use-apple-pay/ Now, you can get creative. If what I suspect is true, I went into Walgreen's this morning, purchased over $100 worth of Amazon Gift cards, and should be getting $10 cashback from this. You could theoretically do this with grocery store gift cards, resteraunts, etc. As an added bonus I'll add this. If you have a Discover Card, also make sure you login to your online account and "activate" the bonuses on the side. It looks like this: I have two last peices of advice. Make sure to always use the cash back as "statement credit". Why? Lets say after this month I get $50 to $100 cash back from using Apple Pay a lot. If I used one of their "redemption options" such as shopping on Amazon with the cash back, that's the end of the cash back. But if I redeeem it as a statement credit (or just as effectively direct deposit it into checking), then I have $50 to $100 more money in my pocket. If I turn around and use that $50 to $100 to purchase more Amazon gift cards at Walgreen's, etc etc, then I get cash back on that purchase as well. So instead of redeeming the cash back directly at Amazon I accept a statement credit for $100, then go buy $100 worth of Amazon gift cards, I just got 10% cash back on $100. I just turned my $100 cash back into another $10, which of course I could then turn into $1, then $0.10, then $0.01. $100 cash back could actually be $111.11 cash back if you keep redeeming it as a statement credit each time. Secondly, this is only benificial if you plan and budget your money. If you end up carrying a balance then interest will eventually acrue and you will probably not come out ahead, even with 10% cash back. Only make purchases that you have the money for. I have literally spent $10,000's over the past few years on a credit card, but I have never paid a single cent of interest. I have however received a lot of cashback, a lot of protection benifits (such as if the card gets stolen), etc. Credit cards can be a very great tool or someone's absolute downfall.
