First, have a high FICO score to get the best CC offers.  It could be points, miles, cashback or a combo.
Get the card and satisfy the terms of the deal.  Likely a minimum spend in a certain number of months.
Churn the card by paying it to zero and shelving it, or just cancel if you don't think there will be a reward clawback.
There are a ton of CC blogs and groups out there that go into insane, minute detail.  Every card.  Every offer.  Everything.  Even how to snag more points/miles/rewards through retention agents.  These are the people who likely have a spreadsheet for everything in their lives.  
I don't fault them:  I just don't have the willpower to do the same.
 
 

Watched old Johnny Carson reruns tonight. He did Carnak the Magnificent skit, where he is given the answer and "divines" the question.
Answer.  Oil of Olay
Question. What do you use to deep fry a bull fighter?

I would have used grotty if the situation arose without even considering whether it had successfully crossed the Atlantic (or the Pacific).

When I read the description you gave about 'chiseled jaws, deep set eyes and broad foreheads', my mind immediately went to these guys - who are also always hard as a rock.

Welp....I pulled out my travel bag; it's time to pack. Flying to Columbus Friday, and y'all know what that means.....the westward migration is drawing nigh! 😃
Looks like it's warmer up yonder this week than last. Thanks Oliver and SamFitz for turning on some heat prior to my arrival......😋

Many consumers on this site have similar feelings about the packages they order.

I'm not a particular fan of WWII history, but Torch and Overlord are familiar to me.  Market Garden and Jupiter are a bridge too far.

Work with his often.  Nicest guy there is.

I know of no source that makes this particular distinction between the two words. It seems to be just your own usage and understanding.
Can you cite a reference?

It's only thanks to you, @BenjaminNicholas, that I know the difference between the more formal "Tea" and the less formal "High Tea".
As for traveling non-stop, my friend asked me recently if I flew "straight" from New York to Las Vegas.  I told her no, they let me fly gay. 😆

I hope you are complying with the terms of the trust - not doing so could land you in hot water.

Don't know, but I've heard Benedictines are.
But this thread is about Liam Sanchez, not an off-topic discussion about a whole nationality (or order of monks).

You commented with humor and didn't get personal or mean.  You know the difference.  You always have.
My comments weren't directed toward you (or anyone in-kind).
 

This.  100%
I'd like to see some personal photos from the members here negatively commenting.  
Let's see how they look.  See how svelte and chiseled they appear.  See how they take care of their bodies.
Unless you have experience with this escort, you have zero skin in the game.  Have some fucking couth.
You can easily not like something without coming across as a complete and total asshole.  
The false shroud of internet anonymity does not mean you can treat others badly.

Clearly he's into the BFE 🤣.   With the added bonus of perforating your lower intestine and bruising other internal organs.  Charming.

A preposition is a perfectly good word to end a sentence with.

I recently bought a half-kilo bag of psyllium husk for about $14, at the supermarket. That's about $US9.50.

From the Shingles vax thread.
Public health advice, in Australia at least, differs and recommends Covid updates in many cases, and is generally based on the value of the updated vaccines in mitigating the severity of the disease if you catch it, not preventing you from doing so.
Herd immunity is a population level protection, and is different from a general level protection derived from the immunity that most everyone (you included) would have from exposure to the disease and from earlier vaccinations. That may have been what your PCP was talking about.
Herd immunity results from a high enough proportion of the population having a level of immunity (however acquired) that means that it is unlikely those without, or with a low level of immunity will be exposed to the disease and contract it. It is also localised, not necessarily regional or national level. If you travel to a city or country where the disease is prevalent, your home herd immunity doesn't protect you, you depend on your individual level of immunity.
By way of examples, most of Australia has measles herd immunity, but cases occur in regions with low immunity levels, or when unimmunised people travel to overseas regions where it is prevalent and bring it back. Pertussis, or whooping cough, has herd immunity (mainly from childhood vaccinations) but vaccinations are highly recommended for certain groups of previously vaccinated people who are not at risk of severe disease (eg grandparents) but who even with a mild case would pose a significant risk to unvaccinated people (their new-born children too young to be vaccinated).
None of that is to diminish the importance of the advice of your PCP or your decision on taking their advice. Their advice would be tailored to you personally and not simply be a statement of general immunity in your community.

Actually, no.  There is data.  
Americans' net worth grew 37% after pandemic hit: Fed survey
Real median net worth increased from $141,100 to $192,900 between 2019-2022
Auggie, it's horrible that the price of cereal has gone up.  It's a wonder that people with $50,000 more in net worth aren't starving to death.  How do they even get by?  And worse, a recession is coming!
Again, there is data.  
While its true that the average person with $50,000 more in net worth by 2022 and higher real wages in 2023 can barely afford a bowl of cereal, the fact that we made it past the global inflation and supply chain squeeze might explain why people are feeling better.  Ya think?  The US had lower inflation than most of the rest of the West.  Even though inflation sucks.  And our economy came out the strongest on the planet.  Maybe that helps explain why this recession has gone missing for so long???
It does help explain why my stock nerd nephew's net worth went up hundreds of thousands of dollars........... in the last few days!   He bought SOXL at about $7 a share in Fall 2022 and just kept buying more.  Which speaks to why we might not have a recession.  All that investment in tech and chips is paying off.  The US is the global leader.  I followed my nephew's lead, but own a lot less SOXL.  So my net worth only went up tens of thousands in the last few days.  It's horrible!  A recession must be coming!  
That said, opinions do matter.

Colombard = also totally unrelated to the above (and a great grape for making wine)

Columbo  TV detective who always had one more question.  

Colombo = totally unrelated to the above (and capital of Sri Lanka)

And with appropriate flair, but never consider an unfashionable one!

Come on, that’s a veritable "spring chicken" in Palm Springs!
