I can select Amex plat but not business plat. These cards have materially different benefits and rewards earning structures.

Plus selection first then making me create an account? Feels like a scammy aggregator of some sort (even if it’s not).

Your audience will largely not appreciate the dark pattern.

Just my 2 mr points.

Sentry rocks and, in my opinion, is value priced.

Ah yes, make the insured pay out of pocket first. Brilliant. Too poor to buy a new car to replace the one that just got legitimately totaled? Gotcha!

AI is imperfect but it works a certain percentage of the time in a certain percentage of cases. Polygraphs are just complete pseudo-science bullshit.

You're off by an order of magnitude. 1,056 BTC is currently worth approximately $29m.

I think the fact that fluoride is beneficial to your teeth is a settled fact. However, the issue being discussed is fluorides impact on brain health.

Agreed. Allowing children to sleep at home is also very dangerous. Not to mention spending unsupervised time during their waking hours with parents and family members without regular government audits. Thank you for standing up for children.

Wealthier jurisdictions already do pay in the form of police expenditures. The vast majority of crime committed in wealthier jurisdictions is by people who do not live or pay taxes within the jurisdiction.

How is this any more illegal than a cop calling in a license plate number of any random vehicle they see on the road (which is not at all illegal)?
