You are likely interested to get there with miles, if you haven’t already done so. How to fly to Tahiti and Bora Bora with miles.
Amex has reverted back to awarding 1:1 Membership Rewards points to transfers to British Airways and Iberia Avios. Is this what a “win” has now come down to in our hobby, sad!
In addition, the US Bank Flexperks has now confirmed its latest devaluation, Flex Points now worth 1.5 cents, down from 2 cents, ouch! I am pulling out my Amex Business Plus card more and more lately…2 points per dollar, no annual fee!
United, after recent unfortunate PR disasters, is trying to change things. Including how it prevents overbooking debacles. One way it is trying to go about it is getting to you days in advance to change your flight (for compensation). Interesting…
Marriott, the Delta of hotels, started this 48 to 72 hour cancellation policy trend. Now Hilton has decided to follow it, sad!
If you rent cars abroad, this is good advice: How I Saved $500 On The Same Rental Car From The Same Company. I use and highly recommend ExpressVPN (AFFILIATE LINK).
Are you over age 62? Do you want to save $70? Did you know you can still pay $10 to access over 2,000 US National Parks and sites for the rest of your life? Come August 28, the fee will be raised to $80. You are welcome.
Which country is the Number One in selfie deaths? India. By far!
For some reason, my blog has become the go to blog for all things about sex robots 🙂 I present to you the latest research on it, so many questions this rapidly developing industry is raising. I wonder if one day you can buy a sex robot with a Chase card and earn 5x points with it. I am sure The Points Guy will let us know lol.
Most personal finance advice out there is geared towards people who, for example, can really max their 401k Plan contributions. This article is for those who can’t and it is excellent! Ways to tame your finances.
These are awesome. The 12 most frightening roads in the world.
In the crazy times we are experiencing, way up there, it’s this bitcoin and other crypto currencies shit. In China they have massive and remote bitcoin mines. WTF!
Mapped: Which side of the road does the world drive on? Yeah, there is blue in that Cyprus island!

TGIF y’all
Yeah really!
Sorry for the late posting today. Late last night after I came back from the movie I scheduled the post for…tomorrow! And then I slept in (first time in ages) and got the shock seeing my post did not make it. I raced downstairs and posted it. I let you all down. The only way to make it up to you all is let you go crazy on my links hehe
What a great deal on beer!
There’s hope.
Strange thing happen during clinical trials. I’m not talking about the accidental discovery of Viagra by Pfizer (first assessed as a cardiovascular drug). Apparently, subjects on anti–PD-1/anti–PD-L1 treatment for lung cancer experience hair repigmentation.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DEkQ-LMWAAEqI8M.jpg:large
Rather than stating that they have discovered another billion dollar market they conclude that “Hair repigmentation may be a good response marker in patients receiving the drug.”
Cost of goods may be expensive (>$100000/year at that dose) compared to L’Oreal’s hair color bottle for just $7.99 at Amazon (link). At least there’s a possibility we may find a mechanism for hair repigmentation.
Thanks for allowing hope we can believe in 🙂
How much for that dose? I hope they start an affiliate program so I can pump them without integrity lol.
Sometimes it’s about paying attention to the small things. Like that nurse who noticed that male subjects on viagra had a stiffy.
TPG hiring its first ‘Head of Data and Analytics’ according to my LinkedIn feed …..
Meaning AI, machine learning or deeeeep learning? Most male college graduates rather work on the next generation of sex robots.
When it comes to sex robots…TBB is the place to be!

So, my wife’s friend found herself with 2 tickets to a concert so she asked my wife to go. Told her it is for the Kenny G concert. My wife said yes…
