😲 😲 Seriously?! People here are actually insane. 🙄 Last summer, even those 1L bottles of Cappy antioxidant juice were priced at over $5.25, and they ended up slashing them to $3.25 because nobody was willing to be that stupid.
Edit: Richard Lewis16, I don't get it—do our local guys have to pay customs and extra taxes just to sell Tang here? 😕 😬 Seems more like a margin issue to me.
Since he isn't really using it, he might be better off opening an account at JPMorgan Chase. They don't charge monthly maintenance fees, and he'll get a Visa card for online shopping—he'd just have to cover a one-time fee for the card and PIN $6.75.
If you need a Microsoft card to shop online, go with JPMorgan Chase or Wells Fargo; the Federal Reserve doesn't handle that stuff. If you don't need it, then it honestly doesn't matter. I know JPMorgan Chase doesn't charge for account maintenance, but I'm not sure about the other two. 🙂
No worries. 😉 That lady over at Chase was being pretty clueless, too. 😁 By the way, the online banking fees at Wells Fargo will run you $1.75 every month.
It doesn't even matter if you don't bank there. You just walk in, open a foreign currency account, and you’ll have your card ready in about two weeks. You can fund the account using whatever currency you want—dollars, pounds, whatever—or just hand them some cash and they'll convert it on the spot. This thing works online and at any ATM or shop abroad that takes standard Visa... It's basically a debit card like a Maestro, except this one actually lets you shop online. From what I know, Chase charges a monthly fee for foreign currency accounts, but JPMorgan Chase keeps it free. 😉
Open a foreign currency account at Chase or JPMorgan Chase and grab a Visa Electron. It’s accepted everywhere and works perfectly with PayPal. You only spend what's actually in the account, so you don't have to worry about anyone draining your funds. 🙂 There aren't any membership fees for this one, unlike a Mastercard.
Forget about JPMorgan Chase; their Visa Electron is useless online even if you have the CVV. Just head over to Citibank or Goldman Sachs, open a foreign currency or USD account, and you'll get a Visa Electron.🙂
Btw, there’s a massive 70-page thread about PayPal at the top of the page; check out the first post and the FAQ inside.😉
Anthony Smith3 said:If I remember right, there's an elevator in that little chapel where they find the second entrance... and whether anyone survived or not depends on which version you watched—the American cut or the British one.😉
Nah, that's not what I meant by "movie heroes." 😁 I was talking about the crew that actually built that elevator inside the cave. How did they even survive doing that? 😕 I mean, in the first movie, there isn't even a map or any names for that cave system, and now suddenly there’s a full-on elevator installed. 🤷
Based on the trailer, this looks pretty ridiculous (and where did an elevator in a cave that nobody’s ever survived come from? 🤷). Like some of you already mentioned, I’m definitely checking it out (can't wait for May 😁), but I'm not expecting anything groundbreaking.
I JPMorgan Chase is offering student loans right now.
c/p: Collateral requirements:
* Up to $10,000 without any extra security * From $10,000.01 to $20,000.00 requires a co-signer or life insurance policy plus a 10% deposit, or a mortgage at a 1:1.5 ratio * From $20,000.01 to $40,000.00 requires a mortgage at a 1:1.5 ratio
To be honest though, I’m not sure how smart it is to take out a loan like this. I know it's pretty common over there, but given the current state of things in the US—plus who knows what happens once you graduate and try to land a job? Based on your grades and competition results, getting into a university with federal financial aid shouldn't be an issue. Honestly, those regional competitions don't carry much weight. They really only care about the top three spots from national competitions. 😉

It doesn't necessarily mean they'll stack on your sneakers; maybe you have longer legs or you're just taller. Usually, these models have a 34" inseam, but who knows. I’m a bit taller myself, and out of maybe 40 pairs of jeans, not a single one stacks heavily—if they do, it's barely noticeable. I'm not a fan of that "stacking" look anyway. Since I mostly wear boots, it would probably look even stupider than it would with sneakers
I guess you're right about those cuts. I've looked around a ton and there aren't many. Here are some shots from Revolveclothing.com. I actually just bought my first pair of sneakers from them yesterday (http://i43.tinypic.com/2qbu9t5.jpg). They look a bit stacked in the photo, but since I'm taller, it should be fine
That first model is this one. The brand isn't Levi's, it's actually 7 For All Mankind
Regarding the rips, you gotta distinguish between cheap sneakers and the slightly pricier stuff. On cheap ones, it's just basic holes, but on higher-end, quality brands, it's done really well. It's not really "rips" at that point, just carefully executed style details. You don't have to worry about the pants falling apart. Also, maybe it's just me, but I'm not really into that look either🤷
