2023.03.21 18:44 ForgottenBananna [TX] Career Guidance
Career Guidance
Hello friends, I recently was accepted into a psychology program, while I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to pursue an upper education that will allow me to go down a variety of career paths, I am now seeking guidance haha. With a bachelors in Psychology, would I be able to flex into all forms of Human Resources and Marketing, possibly Logistics (I really like transportation of goods lol). I/O psych while is often tied into Human Resources, I have been told deals with a lot more theory and stats rather than actual function with an office environment. That and I would prefer to work in a smaller company or public function. My question to the sub is this, is a psychology degree sufficient in pursuing a career in HR, PR, sales, talent acquisition, with proper certs of course. Or will further schooling or even a degree change be required? Im more hesitant to change because I would eventually in my career go for a masters in counseling and work as a counselor of some kind.
TLDR; Psych degree enough to get into HR and start making that paper?

2023.03.21 18:43 whitmansgirl Skin irritation post retinol/ AHA
So first of all I wanted to say thank you to this sub- I have learnt so much by lurking around this group and my skin is doing so much better. I started my skincare routine just 2-3 months back. While I was a very enthusiastic puppy in the beginning, I have become lazy now and tend to skip out sometimes.
My routine on good days is as follows: Toner+ HA + Paula's choice AHA + Moisturizer OR
Toner+ HA + Retinol+ Moisturizer
Off late, I apply the AHA/ Retinol and then wait for it to be absorbed and think I would apply the moisturizer in a while. But since I do this routine at night, I almost always fall asleep before applying the moisturizer. I have noticed that on days I don't apply the moisturizer, my skin is slightly irritated- with bumps/ tiny white bumps/ itchy on the morning after. I have an oily t-zone and rest of the face gets quite dry.
While I am working on incorporating moisturizer before sleeping, I want to know if the lack of moisturizer really is the reason for the irritation or could it be something else? Am I really messing up by not applying the moisturizer? I don't think it is the purge since I have been using the products for a couple of months now, so by this time my skin must have acclimatized to it. Especially that my skin did not react like this when I started using the Retinol/ AHA.

2023.03.21 18:43 Professional_Disk131 Predictmedix (CSE: PMED, OTC: PMEDF, FRA: 3QP) Continues Expansion With High-Margin Revenues
Predictmedix (CSE: PMED, OTC: PMEDF, FRA: 3QP) announced several updates regarding business expansions in the last couple of weeks. The company that provides workplace health and safety improvements thanks to AP-powered products notably stated it has begun to produce its mobile application for detecting impairment from cannabis and alcohol. Combined with high-margin revenues, there is no doubt why the stock price increases after news is released.
What is the issue?
Over the world, law enforcement and high-risk businesses have struggled with the problem of alcohol and cannabis-related impairment, and the present testing procedures are cumbersome, expensive, and time-consuming. Drug testing businesses have struggled to develop a single product that combines dependability, speed, cost-effectiveness, and non-invasiveness. Businesses and organizations have been dealing with issues for a long time are addressed by the portable solution from Predictmedix, designed for law enforcement agencies and other high-risk mobility industries.
The global workplace safety market is expected to grow at a fast pace. The 13.5% CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) should bring the market’s valuation to USD $26.7B by 2027.
Company Overview
Predictmedix is a rising international provider of fast health assessments, medical supplies, and options for remote patient treatment. The company’s Safe Entry Stations use multispectral cameras to evaluate physiological data patterns and detect indicators of exhaustion, impairment from cannabis or alcohol, infectious disease, and crucial physiological factors. These stations use specialized artificial intelligence (AI). Using multispectral cameras, the company’s Safe Entry Stations may detect indicators of weariness, impairment from alcohol or cannabis use, infectious infections, and other critical physiological factors. Another advantage is the company’s capacity to monitor signs of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. Because Covid causes distinctive physiological patterns, its solution will be able to identify, evaluate, and then decide whether or not that person is likely to be infected. A real-time examination will decide whether any more testing is necessary. Predictmedix’s AI will learn how new symptoms present novel patterns from which to continue recognizing infection as the virus evolves.
It gives numerous benefits in financial terms. Screening as a Service provides multi-year contracts and high-margin recurring revenue. Safe Entry’s technology is supported and tested (CE Mark and ISO certified). Through innumerable placements and events that received excellent evaluations and were successfully published in peer-reviewed publications, Secure Entry provides organizations all over the world with the confidence and effectiveness they require.
On March 15, Predictmedix announced it has started manufacturing its AI-powered mobile application that rapidly detects impairment from alcohol and cannabis. In numbers, the screening machine’s processing time takes less than 30 seconds to complete, and has a success rate of over 90%. The Safe Entry was notably tested by 1600 persons at the University of Jakarta, and Indonesia prepares the products for regulatory approval listed as Medical Devices.
“We are happy to announce to our shareholders that we are making very good progress with our portable solution for detecting impairment in individuals. From our research and discussions with high-level contacts, we believe our product will be in high demand in multiple industry verticals worldwide. In 2021, the drug screening market size was valued at over $5.2 Billion with revenue forecasted at over $22 Billion in 20302, making this another lucrative opportunity for Predictmedix.”
Dr. Rahul Kushwah, Chief Operating Officer
Share Structure / Financials
The latest financial statements occurred for the period ending October 31, 2022. On this date, the company issued 119M shares. We also can notice Predictmedix has 7.2M warrants at $0.27 and only 580k options at $0.40. These numbers don’t include the following $610k financing. Indeed on February 13, Predictmedix raised $612k by issuing 12.25M shares at $0.05. Entitled to each share is a $0.10 warrant. The net proceeds issued from the financing will be used for general options including business development and technology upgrades.
The stock price trades at $0.15 (March 18). After witnessing a constant downtrend over 2022, 2023 saw brighter days, notably thanks to commercialization targets. After undergoing a 52-week low of $0.025, PMED pushes towards its 52-week high of $0.21.
The company has made the same amount in gross profit and generated $3.5k in revenue during the quarter. The company experienced a $459 loss in the interim, primarily as a result of consultancy expenditures ($152k), management fees ($80k), and marketing costs ($86k). We can point out that Predictmedix has meager revenue costs, which means that costs will be quickly covered if sales start to come in.
“In 2023, Predictmedix will be hyper-focused on commercialization, securing high-revenue recurring placements for workplaces in industries such as mining, manufacturing, warehousing, construction, and other industries where employee health and safety remain of high priority.”
As proof of this statement, the company announced a purchase order (March 6, 2023) from DefSpace, a global platform for Defense, Space, and Aerospace. This company will lease four stations, each of which will generate $2.5k per month in recurring revenue for a four-year deal, totalling $500k.
Conclusion
More than ever, Predictmedix (CSE: PMED, OTC: PMEDF, FRA: 3QP) is ready to move from the development to the commercialization phase. The secured contract with DefSpace marks a milestone for the company, and other contracts should follow soon. High margins offer the company to be quickly profitable, and this is something you have to consider about Predictmedix. Many companies have issues with returning a positive EBITDA, and it won’t be the PMED’s case.

2023.03.21 18:42 Flimsy-Barnacle9850 ID this old ring
Can anyone help give any information about this ring? It reminds me of a cornucopia spilling out gems lol. I really know nothing about it except for the back story posted below. Its definitely old. It has a 24k gold stamp that is almost completely worn down. It has no other stamps/makers marks. The diamonds are old mine cut, & they are real. Under a loupe at 60x you can see some very small inclusions. They also test positive for Diamond on Diamond tester. I have no idea if the rubies are legit or not. I don’t know much about rubies or red gemstones at all. They test in Diamond range on Diamond tester. They are square & step cut. Very clear, can see right thru them, with some inclusions like needling/silk.. some surface blemishes on some of the stones. Tried to scratch test them but they scratched glass. Could they be glass filled rubies or spinel? Garnet? Tourmaline? I just don’t know. Any idea on the origin of the ring? The old mine cut diamonds and 24k gold setting make me think it really is very old. I would love to know the period of time it came from or anything to point me in the right direction.
Back Story of how I got it - Almost 10 years ago, I met up with an older lady off fb marketplace to purchase a vintage solid 18k gold ring.. her listing didn’t mention it being 18k and neither did she when I got there. She simply referred to it as a gaudy man’s ring lol. I mentioned it being a cool vintage style ring and she explained that it was owned by her father since at least the mid-late 80s. She seemed to appreciate my admiration for the vintage find & said if I really do like old stuff then she had another piece she wanted to show me. She brought this ring out. She said it was even older than the first one.. that her father owned it her whole life since she could remember and believed it to be passed down to him by relatives prior but wasn’t really sure. She didn’t really seem to care about the value or history of either of them, just that they were among several pieces she inherited and that these just sat in a box cuz they were “too ugly to wear” so it was time to part with them.
I asked her if she had gotten this one appraised and she said no, after her dad left it to her, it went into her jewelry box and never saw the light of day again. There was a pawn shop on the corner near her house and I asked if she had taken them there and she kinda ranted a bit about how she brought a gold necklace there and they offered her much less than it was worth melted & that everything in there was grossly overpriced so she would never offer them any more of her business. She ended up selling both rings to me for like 60 bucks total.

2023.03.21 18:41 Billcryptic At the Base of the Hanging Tree
(The Giving Tree is written by Shel Silverstein, The Hanging Tree is by Suzanne Collins)
“Grandma.”
He chuckled, and called again.
“Graaaaaaaandma.”
Hey where was she, he was a smol, wide eyed childgen snuggled up in bed with his red and white patchwork quilt with his Raggedy Ann doll who contrary to popular belief, was NOT HAUNTED and instead infused with good dreams and good vibes.
Good vibes which included Amon’s grandma READING HIM A FUCKING BEDTI-
Her head peeked through the door, glasses wobbling on her pointed nose. She huffed and puffed, and Amon had a twinge of consciousness, a ‘oh wait I’m in better health than her maybe I should be nice,’ sort of feeling.
He then realized that as a child, he was entitled to entitlement, and threw that notion out the window and into the dumpster, where it rested with other bad ideas like, ‘hey let's make a Bible version of dungeons and dragons, or literally anything else that we find morally reprehensible yeah that’ll hinder sales if we tell people to not do this cool thing that is totally bad for you and will result in your eyes being gouged out by Satan’s asshole.’
He, of course, didn’t voice any of this. Because, above fear of God, he had a fear of grandma.
“Did someone say they wanted a bedtime story! Well, by golly, do I have a story for you!”
He paused, “Is it Narnia?”
She narrowed her eyes at him, setting the book that she held behind her down, “Of course not dear! I would never put my preferences over yours, my oh so picky critic who whittles down what stories I read to you with the sharpest razor I’ve ever seen. I am only here to cater to your preferences because your time is the most valuable in all the world!”
He squirmed under the blanket, “....Look, I hate to admit that you’re right but can you not be right.”
“It’s a talent of mine.”
Why can’t I have come out of the womb as a fully mature adult so I can debate grandma to death into an early grave?
Then another thought came.
Wait, I don't want her to die. She loves me or some shit and I think that’s good.
He gulped, attempting to sound less…full of himself, “Could you um…if possible…by any chance.”
“Spit it out sonny if my hearing gets any worse I’ll have to get some robotic implants and do you really want grandma being the catalyst for the AI uprising?”
Please for the love of God nobody let this women near any missile turrets.
“COULD YOU MAKE UP A STORY FOR ME YOU HAVE A NICE VOICE AND IT HELPS ME SLEEP PLEASE GRANDMA THROW ME A BONE HERE.”
“.....I could throw you a dislocated hip.”
Amon squinted, “You’re going to need those in ten years when your bones start fossilizing.”
She patted his back, “Ten years! You’re very generous, in fact those bones of yours with the freshest marrow look….quite appetizing for a geezer like me!”
“All the better to eat me with?”
“Exactly!”
The night went on, a star or two who hadn’t twinkled out to dream land like he had standing in the heavens, wisps of gray clouds swirling round the moon. He could hear the caw of a crow or two, probably picking off the dead racoons left on the road because of grandma’s driving.
Damned dumpster drivers had it coming.
Grandma leaned back in her rocking chair, its faded brown surface creaking as she swished back n’ forth in it. She folded her arms, closed her eyes, and let out a yawn as she flipped a lightswitch, the thin, pale beams of the moon shining through the shudders.
And the heater chugged along like a train, blanketing them both into a slow, dreary slumber,
Grandma began her story.
“Once upon a time, there was a brave knight. So brave in fact, that he didn’t squirm when doctors, who may or may not have been vampires, took his blood, and always opened up his mouth wide for the dentist when they wanted to see his pearly whites! And the king sent him off on many a quest, to save all the damsels in distress because the king had a bad habit of keeping a harem. After all, in those days, monogamy was a myth.”
Amon wondered if the king was based on grandma’s love life.
“The knight loved his king, so why wouldn’t he serve him? Even as the wounds piled up like a pile of rusty coins, infection creeping up on his flesh as the doctors prescribed him leeches and his blood turned to ice. Even as each step became an insurmountable mountain, he had a duty to serve his king, and the king loved him too, right? There was something beyond that icy stare? Some glimpse of hope, a spark of love? Yet they say be careful of he who slays beasts, lest he become a beast himself.”
She paused, and Amon shivered, like the mist creeping outside was the last dying wisps of smoke from the maw of a decaying dragon.
If the time came, would he be able to slay his demons?
“The knight’s greatest beast he would never slay was the one sitting upon the gilded throne. One day, he outlived his usefulness.”
The silence hung in the air. Amon wondered how long it took for the man’s flesh to be wrent from his shoulders.
He shivered, tears barely restrained, as grandma pulled him in.
“Never let anyone tell you how to be. Never do anything someone else wouldn’t do for you back. This world will want to beat you down and spit you out but I know you’re stronger than that.”
She got up, patting his head as the moon glinted in her spectacles and she grinned back with a fiery stare of her own.
One day, Amon would share it, for she had long since kinded the flame in his heart.
Burn, my grandson. Burn and show this world what you made of. Show them what I see in you, what you don’t see in yourself.
One day, you will.
One day, you will know how to look in the mirror and say, ‘I love you.”
“.....Could the knight have saved himself?”
“Every story has an end. Just….make sure yours is a good one.”
Nearing the end of her days, wondering the length of the shadow she’d cast, and if it brought others shade.
She hobbled off. The door shut behind her.
………God we are both overdramatic as fuck aren’t we.
Amon reminded himself to tell grandma to lay off the old testament for a while. She didn’t need that kind of toxic masculinity in her life.
_________
“You know, I’m going to tell you a story this time!”
Amon was waving a pencil, not because he was going to write God forbid anybody see his handwriting no siree, but rather when his hands were flailing and the unsharpened point was ready to fly from his fingers at any second and impale someone’s eye the creative juices were flowin and his imaginative boat was rowing and sure it may sink once or twice along the way but that was just apart of the creative process!
That, and procrastinate on writing said story for two goddamn weeks and when you went over your plot notes you wondered who this madman was who’d seized your journal and favorite fountain pen.
“It’s about time! You think I have time to keep running my lips Mr. I’m young and needy and I want to drive grandma into dehydration because I want to turn one bedtime story into fifteen?”
Amon averted his gaze, “Can I just say that you’re the greatest woman I’ve ever known and I hope I can have one ounce of your creativity so I can inspire the masses with the love and forgiveness you demonstrate so all the little children, not including me because five foot one and a half is not little by any means thank you very much…”
Napoleon complex much, sonny?
“And through all these wonderful…”, he coughed, “Parables I can conjure up surely everyone can and will find Jesus?”
He gave her the baby blue puppy dog eyes. She melted.
But she really didn’t want to.
“Has anyone told you that flattery will get you everywhere?”
“Yes, actually, you did.”
“Damn right,” she mentally gave her past self a pat on the back.
And Amon struck a match, lighting the fireplace with its grizzled logs, silvery bark peeled back as flames licked their sides all over. He cuddled up with grandma on the oversized recliner, leaning back. Eyes closed.
Like he could see, like he could taste and touch and smell and hear the story unfolding in his mind’s eye.
“Once, there was a tree, and she loved a little boy.”
It was growing now, its roots feeding into the forest. Birds came here to lay their young and worms burrowed in her rich soil beneath. Squirrels always found the best holes in her trunk to bury their nuts in, snuggled up all cozy as the wind battered her outsides but the tree saw that wind and told it where it could shove it cause no breeze would take away her warmth! She was happy and she liked it that way!
“And every day the boy would come, and he would gather her leaves, making them into crowns to play king of the forest.”
The squirrels were scampering away and here he came charging through the grass and falling into the bushes headfirst! He could take and take and take and twist those twigs and thorns into a wooden circlet befitting the child prince. And if he craned his ears he could even hear the fae sparkling and laughing and merrymaking as they poured wine from goblets neverending and gossiped about that adorable little child over there let’s go visit him no wait we can’t interact with humans can we kidnap him NO KIDNAPPING IS BAD.
Remember what happened with a midsummers night's dream, there’s a precedent for this shit!
“He would climb up her trunk, and swing from her branches.”
Don’t look down, whatever you do don’t look down like a tumbling sack of apples about to go splaaaaat. Climbing up to see the forest was definitely a good idea and you’re not going to throw up whatsoever.
“And eat apples, and they would play hide and seek.”
“Ready or not, here I cooome!”
“.....Oh, you’re right behind me.”
“I don’t think hide and seek is the best game if one party doesn’t have legs.”
“.......”
“And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade.”
“I don’t want to go home, I want to stay with you but it’s getting dark and there’s monsters prowling about!”
“Whenever you are with me, I promise, I will keep you safe.”
And the boy stared up in wide eyed wonder.
“You….you…really mean that?”
She bowed her great head, leaves falling on his face, embracing him in a branch, pulling him close.
“I love you. And I don’t let harm come to those I love.”
“And the boy loved the tree very, very much.”
He pressed himself against grandma’s warm, woolen, side. She smelled like peppermint.
“The tree was happy."
He sighed, and Amon looked down, shivering. The clock went tick, tick, tick, and he wondered if he blinked, if he’d miss the seconds passing by.
“But time went by.”
He grew up and the world wasn’t small anymore. It wasn’t good to just imagine, you could no longer play pretend, you had to have a purpose for your life and fill that aching void that’d grown in your heart, didn’t you feel it beating? Take, take, take, my boy, you’re number one and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Forget about the tree, that withered shrub has nothing for you except to be food for the worms.
“And the boy grew older.”
He peered into grandma’s gaze. How many people had she lost over the years, and what hole did they leave in their absence?
“And he wanted. But that want wasn’t just a I want this colorful toy off the shelf, gimme, gimme, gimme. No, this was a need.”
“I am too busy to climb trees.”
“I want a house to keep me warm.”
But that little boy was left unheard, to just go back to the simpler times when he could just be a boy she could just be his tree. He was worthless and if he just had what everyone else had maybe it’d feel better, if he could raze and tear and break down the tears would stop flowing and the sirens would stop blaring and everything would just fucking shut down, for just one second please, for the love of God, be still.
“I want you. I want you in my life and you’re so far away but I think that’s just me.”
So he ripped the tree down and shed her emerald coat of leaves and wrent her into a stump so for himself he had a home. Her apples laid moldering and discarded, and maybe if he had cast their seeds out into the brush they both wouldn’t have been so lonely anymore.
“And he met the end of his days and they both had nothing left. She asked, ‘What more do you want of me?’ He didn’t know anymore.”
“Would you like to rest?”
He sat down on her stump.
And the tree was happy.
Amon sniffled, then there was snot. He shivered and wrapped his teensie head in his legs and grandma yanked him on over to her side and held him close and he ugly cried and she wailed right with him.
She hoped he knew it was okay to cry, so long as there was a crazy bitch like her to cry with him.
And finally he wiped his nose, eyes puffy, before he looked down, murmuring, “....I don’t deserve you.” Her heart sunk right along with his and she wondered where he learned that self loathing.
Was it by design?
The wind picked up and her’s fell, the wooden, mossy floorboards outside, the red paved bricks littered with cracked nuts and wilted flower petals, creaking right along with her.
“Are you, are you, coming to the tree?”
I could see, grandma and I, sitting there together on that worn stump. And maybe if you turned back the years you’d see the tree at the height of its youth with the freshest apples and sap running for miles. I’d be running too.
I knew who’d be watching and egging me on along the way.
“Where they strung up a man, said he murdered three.”
“Strange things have happened here, no stranger would they be
If we met at midnight, in the hanging tree”
Her dad taught her that song so long ago, with whiskey under his breath and a revolver at his belt. He might have been one who knew how to drink and drink till he dropped but he sure damn as well knew when to pour out, lest he become bloated for others’ sake.
“I never want you to become like that man, I never want you to love someone so much it comes at the expense of yourself.”
Amon’s voice was an echo.
“Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run, so we’d both be tree?
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.”
Was the tree’s greatest sin, the inability to say no?
What befalls us when we answer yes?
But if I take and take and take from grandma what shall I have left?
“GRAAAAAANDMA!”
Amon sniffled.
“Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee?
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.”
Her singing became a flurry of notes, tapering out to the breeze.
It was quiet.
“I’m here grandma.”
They stood up and he took her hand.
“Let’s go to that tree together.”
And the grandma was happy.

But that little boy was left unheard, to just go back to the simpler times when he could just be a boy she could just be his tree. He was worthless and if he just had what everyone else had maybe it’d feel better, if he could raze and tear and break down the tears would stop flowing and the sirens would stop blaring and everything would just fucking shut down, for just one second please, for the love of God, be still.
“I want you. I want you in my life and you’re so far away but I think that’s just me.”
So he ripped the tree down and shed her emerald coat of leaves and wrent her into a stump so for himself he had a home. Her apples laid moldering and discarded, and maybe if he had cast their seeds out into the brush they both wouldn’t have been so lonely anymore.
“And he met the end of his days and they both had nothing left. She asked, ‘What more do you want of me?’ He didn’t know anymore.”
“Would you like to rest?”
He sat down on her stump.
And the tree was happy.
Amon sniffled, then there was snot. He shivered and wrapped his teensie head in his legs and grandma yanked him on over to her side and held him close and he ugly cried and she wailed right with him.
She hoped he knew it was okay to cry, so long as there was a crazy bitch like her to cry with him.
And finally he wiped his nose, eyes puffy, before he looked down, murmuring, “....I don’t deserve you.” Her heart sunk right along with his and she wondered where he learned that self loathing.
Was it by design?
The wind picked up and her’s fell, the wooden, mossy floorboards outside, the red paved bricks littered with cracked nuts and wilted flower petals, creaking right along with her.
“Are you, are you, coming to the tree?”
I could see, grandma and I, sitting there together on that worn stump. And maybe if you turned back the years you’d see the tree at the height of its youth with the freshest apples and sap running for miles. I’d be running too.
I knew who’d be watching and egging me on along the way.
“Where they strung up a man, said he murdered three.”
“Strange things have happened here, no stranger would they be
If we met at midnight, in the hanging tree”
Her dad taught her that song so long ago, with whiskey under his breath and a revolver at his belt. He might have been one who knew how to drink and drink till he dropped but he sure damn as well knew when to pour out, lest he become bloated for others’ sake.
“I never want you to become like that man, I never want you to love someone so much it comes at the expense of yourself.”
Amon’s voice was an echo.
“Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run, so we’d both be tree?
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.”
Was the tree’s greatest sin, the inability to say no?
What befalls us when we answer yes?
But if I take and take and take from grandma what shall I have left?
“GRAAAAAANDMA!”
Amon sniffled.
“Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee?
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.”
Her singing became a flurry of notes, tapering out to the breeze.
It was quiet.
“I’m here grandma.”
They stood up and he took her hand.
“Let’s go to that tree together.”
And the grandma was happy.

2023.03.21 18:40 CoolCucumber Citi Premier vs Capital One Venture X vs Amex Gold (unsure about redemption options)
Just looking for some general advice for what to do next for my cards. In general I would like if it would be possible to simplify my card usage so I don't have to check quarterly categories so much and swap around which cards I'm using where as often. Also looking into whether it makes sense to go all in on one ecosystem, but that's even tougher to decipher.
CREDIT PROFILE

CREDIT PROFILE
- Current credit cards you are the primary account holder of:
- Citi Double Cash, $19,000 limit, opened 05/2016
- Chase Freedom, $20,000 limit, opened 05/2016
- Capital One Quicksilver, $10,000 limit, opened 05/2016
- Bank of America Merrill+, $7,500 limit, opened 02/2017
- Discover it, $8,000 limit, opened 08/2017
- Chase Sapphire Preferred, $17,500 limit, opened 01/2023 (opened this just for bonus and for big travel expenses this year, I intend to product change it Chase Freedom Flex after the first year)
- FICO Scores with source: (note that scores took a small dip in Feb, scores for the past 6 months have all been closer to the Jan ones I'm listing)
- Discover Credit Scorecard: 815 (Feb), 830 (Jan)
- Citi FICO Score: 826 (Feb), 848 (Jan)
- Oldest credit card account age with you as primary name on the account: 6 years, 9 months
- Number of personal credit cards approved for in the past 6 months: 1
- Number of personal credit cards approved for in the past 12 months: 1
- Number of personal credit cards approved for in the past 24 months: 1
- Annual income $: ~$180k
- OK with category-specific cards?: Yes
- OK with rotating category cards?: Yes, already do this with Chase Freedom/Discover it when rotating categories are convenient
- Dining $: ~$1,000
- Groceries $: ~$200-300
- Gas $: 0 (don't drive)
- Travel $:
- Flights: $100 (currently just do one vacation a year, so this tends to be all spent at once)
- Airbnb: $200 (probably the most variable one here, so this can possibly go up)
- Hotels: $0 (personally I like Airbnbs more when traveling when possible)
- Trains/Buses: ~$60
- Lyft/Uber: $0-50
- Do you plan on using this card abroad for a significant length of time?: No
- Any other categories or stores with significant, regular credit card spend:
- Amazon: $300
- Phone: $30
- Internet: $90
- Gym: $90
- Any other significant, regular credit card spend you didn't include above?:
- Pet Care: ~$100-200
- Hobbies/entertainment: $~300-400
- Fashion/clothes: ~$10,000 / YEAR (very high spending area for me as one of my main hobbies, but separated it to by year since I can often go months spending 0 then when a new season comes around or sales start my spending will go way up. Additionally some purchases here can involve foreign transactions so it can be nice to have a card with no fee there)
- Can you pay rent by credit card?: No
- Current member of Amazon Prime?: Yes
- Current member of Costco or Sam's Club? Yes, Costco
- Current member of Chase, US Bank or any other big bank?:
- Schwab (checking)
- Ally (savings)
- What's the purpose of your next card?: Travel Rewards, previously had been only really concerned with cash back but I would be interested in optimizing for better travel rewards if possible
- If you answered "travel rewards", do you have a preferred airline and/or hotel chain? United for flights (from ORD), but I'm not too particular on this currently. And as mentioned previously, I tend not to look to hotels when traveling.
- Do you have any cards you've been looking at? Some of the options I've personally been looking at:
- Citi Premier + Citi Custom Cash + Citi Rewards+: going all in on Citi ecosystem, as the Citi DC is already my go-to card for most things and I could get restaurant rewards on the Custom Cash. I see the premier until very recently had an 80k SUB, would it make sense to hold out for that if I went that direction? I already made my flight purchases for the year on my CSP, so not necessarily in a rush.
- Capital One Venture X + SavorOne: this option would be for moving focus to Capital One ecosystem
- Chase: haven't considering this one as much but maybe could also make sense to just go with the Chase ecosystem, I just feel like I haven't gotten too much value currently out of my Freedom as I'm only ever able to really make use out of 1/2 quarters per year
- Amex Gold: also been looking at this as it has good points for restaurants, one of my high spend areas, and I think getting the dining credits shouldn't be too tough to offset the annual fee. I know this isn't really a travel card, so this would likely just be used for restaurants/groceries. My only concern is whether this is still worth getting if I intend on going all in on one ecosystem and it overlaps on that. I do also have the 90k SUB available right now, so this is tempting.

2023.03.21 18:40 miss_cox86 SoCal Rain caused Green Algae on Dirt
Help! Our backyard has taking on too much water and the top soil is covered in green algae.
What is something we can use to kill the algae but be safe for pets. We have 2 large dogs and 1 is a puppy who eats everything.
Its bloomed and is all over the entire yard - any suggestions - homemade or store bought are appreciated.

2023.03.21 18:39 truupR CCJ against me that isn't mine
edit: I live in Wales.
I'll try to keep this as concise as possible but the whole thing is a bit of a mess. I apologise as some of the details may be a little vague.
In a nutshell I've had a CCJ put against my name, even though the debt owed wasn't technically in my name. Or at least legally shouldn't be. Is there a way I can challenge/remove it from my otherwise perfect credit score.
So this whole thing is over a car accident that I wasn't involved in. Dates are going to be a little vague as this spans 4 years. Back in late 2019 I had gifted my old car to my nephew. I had owned the car for 4 years, I'd used it as a little run around to get me back and forth of work. After starting a new job that gave me a company vehicle, I no longer needed it. My nephew's car had recently blown the head gasket and the cost of repairs weren't worth it and was left without a car to get around - I decided my old battered little Peugeot would be a great help to him.
I signed over the V5 whilst talking to my sister the one day. She was undecided if the car should be in his name, or her name due to insurance costs etc. So I left it with her. All she had to do was sign the slip, pop it in the envelope and post it.
2 days later, around 7pm I get a knock at the door. It's the police. They had explained my sister had been involved in a car accident. They had responded to the call but wanted to check as the car involved was still showing as registered to my address. They confirmed everyone was ok, my sister was a little shaken etc. I explained how only a few days prior I'd signed over the car to my nephew/sister. I'd cancelled all road tax/insurance for the vehicle. They had no issues and moved on. I later find out that my sister hadn't yet sent off the V5 slip!!
This is where things get very messy. My sisters insurance company had voided her insurance policy. She hasn't been overly clear about why this happened. But she served a 13 month driving ban because she was found at fault for the incident. All I know is the bottom line her insurance had voided her policy and refused to pay out to any parties involved.
Fast forward to maybe April 2020. I receive an email from a suspicious looking company. I forget the name but it was some debt collecting company claiming I owed a Mr. * £1,600 due to an incident involving my vehicle and posted the reg of my old car. I tried contacting them but all numbers on their rather shady looking site didn't connect to anything. I emailed the person back explaining the situation and how I wasn't involved. The email effectively bounced and came back with a failed message stating the destination email doesn't exist (?!). That was the last I heard of it. Nobody else tried to contact me. I notified my sister, she also tried to contact the company but no email address or contact number went anywhere.
Fast forward to September 2021, over a year later. One Saturday morning around 8am there's a knock at the door. It's a debt collection officer from 'The high court company group' (not the actual high court) complete with body cam, asking how I'm going to pay the now £3,600! Up until this point the last piece of communication I'd received on anything to do with this was from that unreachable company back over 12 months ago. I politely explained my situation, explained how the vehicle wasn't in my ownership at the time of the incident and you're after the wrong person. The police records will show I wasn't involved in any way, shape or form. I offered to give them my sisters details and forwarding address but he wasn't interested. He kept demanding I pay at least half of the owed money there and then. After a back and forth for probably 15 minutes it was clear he wasn't there to dispute who was accountable, he was only there because he had my name and address and was told to go get money back. He eventually gave up, passed me the details to this 'HCEGroup', said to contact them and he'd be back within a fortnight if it wasn't paid.
I contacted said company, explained the issue, forwarded all the necessary details including my sisters contact details. My sister also contacted them and agreed to pay off X amount per month and the total would be settled once sale of her house went through. Several weeks later, the same debt collector knocks on my door demanding I pay and that I still owe in excess of £3,500. I explained that the debt wasn't anything to do with me and that the company he was from had already agreed to settle the debt. My sister had been in touch and everything was agreed. At first he wasn't having any of it but eventually he seemed to believe me and left. This is the last I hear of them.
Jump to September 2022. I'm renewing my car insurance. I typically pay by direct debit. I've been with the same company for over 10 years and never had an issue. I give them my details. 'Sorry sir that's declined. It's saying here you have an active CCJ against your name'. I checked my credit report to see the 'high court enforcement group limited' had filed for a CCJ against me in January 2022.
Since then my sister has paid off the remaining balance in full. But now I'm stuck with a CCJ on my record. It's all a mess but do I stand any chance of getting this removed from my credit record as it says it'll stay active for up to 6 years even after it's been paid.

2023.03.21 18:39 Pwydde I choked on my final evaluation and got fired
I messed up a sure thing.
For decades, I’ve been trying to find a career that works for me. I got a law degree in the 90s and tried lawyering for 15 years. I slowly went broke and destroyed my marriage. I tried real estate management, insurance sales, silversmithing . . . In the meantime, my Dad descended into Alzheimer’s and I had serious issues with my hips that required a bunch of major surgeries over the course of five years. I had to go on disability.
By 2017, my Dad had passed away and I was feeling better. I enrolled in welding school. Before and during Covid, I got a job at the welding school as the lab assistant. It was only part time and besides, I was in pain from all the standing on concrete floors. (I still have issues with my hips, knees, ankles and feet). So I quit last August, thinking about truck driving to get off my feet.
In October, I stumbled on a local trucking company’s paid apprenticeship program. I signed up, and started in January. The company is great! Very understanding and accommodating about my lingering disabilities. They sent me on a five day ride-along with one of their over-the-road drivers, then three weeks of school to pass the state exam. I got my Class A Commercial Drivers License on the first attempt. Then, I hauled loads across the Midwest and East Coast with a trainer sitting in the cab with me, teaching me the ropes. Three weeks of that, without any incidents or problems. I was certain I’d be off disability soon!
It was all going so well. I thought I was ready. My instructor and trainers thought I was ready. Time for my Final Evaluation, which is when the Director of Safety and Operations runs me through my paces to see if he trusts me with the company’s equipment and reputation.
I met the safety director in his office. We had a good interview about how my training rides had gone and how I would handle certain situations. Out at the truck, he was happy with how I conducted my pre trip inspection. I hitched and inspected the trailer just fine. I pulled around and set up to back into a spot. As I backed in and got the left tires right on the yellow line, I felt I was a little too far right, so I got out and looked. Woah! Too close! Pulled up, came back with a little more angle, looking good.
But then I misjudged my overhang swing and bumped the trailer to my right. I actually pushed it three inches. He shouted for me to get out of the cab and go wait in his office.
I sat there for forty-five minutes, thinking I would be sent back for another week for training runs. I was stunned when the Director walked in and he told me I was fired. He explained that, had been someone else’s trailer, it would have been an “incident.” If its owner wanted to be a dick, it could turn into a $1500 repair. Since I made that dumb mistake on a final bill evaluation, with him standing right there, he couldn’t trust me to do it safely out in the field.
That was last Monday. This Saturday, my best friend and girlfriend took me out to a fancy dinner to “celebrate.” They had made the reservations a month ago, when I was confident that I’d be assigned a truck to myself and be earning real money by then. They both knew the whole story, but I still felt like a fraud.
The Director gave me a little hope, though. He told me that he would tell prospective employers simply that I had failed my final eval. He encouraged me to find work at a bigger carrier, and come back when I had a few months of incident-free experience. Then he would retest me and consider bringing me back on.
Now I’m out here in the cold, trying to find work along with thousands of other, more able-bodied novice drivers. I’m afraid I found the one company that would work with me, and I fucked it up at the last minute.

Was going to pick this Blu-Ray up in the flash sale and it’s out of stock. Also out of stock on Amazon and local Barnes and Nobles. How long does it usually take for titles to come back in stock?

2023.03.21 18:37 FaeKade Wondering Car's Worth
I've owned my car for 6 years now and will be paid off next month, love the absolute hell out of this thing, but I feel I've outgrown it a bit and am looking at an RS3 this weekend to potentially replace it. I'll probably end up selling it, but I honestly have no idea what this car is worth, I see prices all over the place and mine is pretty heavily modified (I know that mods don't mean the car is worth more), was just wondering on your opinions/anyone who's recently sold theirs were seeing in their seller market. Also just writing this out as therapy to see if I really need to sell it to get a car that can easily beat supercars with a few bits done to it.
Here are the specs on the vehicle:
2016 Magnetic with factory Stripes, Nav, Recaro Seats. Tinted 20%, Clear Bra front, 60,000 miles regularly changed with AMSOIL 10w30.
Mods are as follows:
Engine: 2860R Turbo with Pumaspeed Tubular Exhaust Manifold w/ External Wastegate, TurboSmart Wastegate, Turbosmart BOV, Yellow Velossatech Snorkel, CPE Intake, ATP Hot Side Charge Pipe, CPE Intercooler, Cobb Cold Side Charge Pipe, Depo Catless Downpipe, Cobb 2.5" SS Exhaust, Mishimoto Oil Catch Can V2. Tuned by Stratified for 93 Pump Gas on a Cobb Accessport. Also have a Mountune RadiatoMotorcraft Thermostat/Silicone Radiator Piping that might be installed soon as well.
Suspension/Brakes: ST XTA Coilovers (with mountune rear springs), StopTech Front Rotors/Pads (have EBC's as replacements with Hawk Pads as they're running a little lower), EBC Rear Brakes just replaced at 59,000 w/ EBC Yellow Stuff Pads.
Driveline: Whoosh Short Shifter Kit, CPE Rear Transmission mount
InterioExterior bits: Purple Muteki Lug Nuts, Spec D Taillights, Diode Dymanics Yellow Fog Lights, Amazon LED Headlights, Diode Dynamics full interior LED Conversion, Stubby Antenna, Grey/Black Ford Emblem Badges, ISincer Side Mirror Sequential Turn Signals, ProClips USA Accessport Holder and Phone Holder. Also have a Mountune Front Splitter that I've never installed. Might install it soon if I keep it.
Wheels: Factory wheels with almost no miles on tires, Fifteen52 Turbomac's with Firestone Firehawk 215/45R-17, 15" Steelies with General Altimax Snow Tires that have seen their last season
Issues with Car:
ABS Light on because passenger front cable was damaged upon coilvover installation, ABS still works, Traction Control Light on as it's Programmed to be off with tune, Front Driver side Fender is bent inwards, doesn't affect performance, but it sure does look ugly, no rust spots on car, but underneath has the typical rust you'd see daily driving in salted winter Ohio roads.
I love this car a lot, but it'll be hard to justify keeping it in it's current state with an RS3 and the car payment that it comes with. My price in my head is 18.5K Is that reasonable? Is asking more than that crack smoking worth? No idea!! Thanks for reading!
Also LMK if you're in the market for a Big Turbo 1 Owner Fiesta ST Lol, located in Ohio.
A few pics, too lazy to take extensive interioexterior shots before private sale, but they will be done once I know for sure it's time to move on.

2023.03.21 18:36 ohwaitnoitsnot Partially underpinned house revealed late
Hi,
We're in the process of buying a house in England. We've had an offer accepted at £430k. We had a level 2 survey with no red flags. A crack due to differential movement was highlighted between the original structure and extension, but we didn't think it warranted further investigation.
Now, it has come to light that the property was partially underpinned in 1989. Due to subsidence due to a tree in the front garden, which has since been removed. We have seen an engineers certificate but no structural sign off has been made available. This is all complicated by the fact that it is a probate sale, and the long time owners have died, and the relatives, don't know much.
Structural engineers strongly suggest it's lateral movement, and likely fine. Many have hinted that monitoring for subsidence is likely a waste of time and money if partially underpinned. Even local ones with experience on the road
As a result of the underpinning the house insurance compared to a non underpinned house has more than doubled. We'd like this to be factored into to a revised offer. As well as the risk of further subsidence.
The bank/lender is fine with the house cost
We're reducing our offer from £430k to £415k
Questions for the community... 1. How would partial underpinning affect valuation? 2. Is this reduction fair or not enough? 3. Has anyone had a similar experience?
