Barcelona
Rent an ebike- can take the bike path north along the beach as well as get to all the sights all over town. (There is a lot of elevation in and around town...) Great way to spend day one.... I second the outdoor food market - one of the best in the world...

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Reminded me of when I interviewed for a senior position with Lukoil in Moscow years ago - when I asked about pension and retirement benefits, they said they didn't have any as no one lives past 60 there anyways... Needless to say, I didn't go work for them...

Vacationing in times of Covid
I see United offers travel insurance via AIG but didn't know if Covid related issues are covered on it (or if Chase's policy does if I bought the flight on that card)...

Vacationing in times of Covid
Just curious what people are doing as a backup plan if you are overseas and test positive on the way home? I know several people from overseas that were in town for a conference and tested positive as they tried to depart so they are sitting in a hotel room waiting for a negative test before returning. Not a big deal as their companies are covering their expenses... But what happens if you are overseas with family on your own dime? Is there insurance you can purchase before to cover costs for the time you need to spend in quarantine? Do the travel coverage offered by card like Chase Sapphire provide coverage? I've heard of some resorts offering "discounts" if you need to extend your stay but I don't see that happening if you are booking a place on VRBO... And for flights, i guess you get stuck on standby status until seats become available?

Vacationing in times of Covid
When we were living in the EU a few years ago, my sister-in-law "came to visit" us and the visit lasted over a year (FML). I'm not sure anyone checks visas unless you are applying for a job and she had no issues returning home to the States. I guess the biggest risk was that she would somehow "get caught" and then deported...

2022 Property Tax Values are out
Mine actually went down 3% this year... I had the house reappraised for a cash out refi 2 years ago and told the appraiser to give me the smallest number available when he did the appraisal and I fought the AD last year and got 7% off last year. In Montgomery county... Of course, my rental house in Harris county went up 30%...

- Craps for beginners:
another stupid question that isn't clear - are you only playing the inside numbers with this method? If the come out roll is an 8 (or a 6), do you only put down 2 bets - 5 and 6 (or 8 and 9) and not a 3rd bet on the 4 (or 11?) I assume this is the case since neither the 4 or 11 is on the "schedule"...- Texas A&M @ Texas Game Thread
Link for us LHN challenged?- Craps for beginners:
So I'm a novice on craps and playing online before a tip to Vegas in a few weeks... If following the HG method, the come out roll is a 10 and i put down bets on the 6,8 and 9. Several rolls later, the 9 hits and there is another come our roll that is a 4. Do I leave the bets on 6,8 and 9 and keep following "the schedule" or do I also also then place a bet on the 5? - Craps for beginners:
