This approach only makes sense if you can pay your credit card bill in full and on time. Maximizing bonus categories, especially through more creative methods, requires you to be responsible with the purchases you make. Can the household goods or toys you need from a superstore wait until they earn bonus cash back? On the flip side, you may also want to strategically delay purchases. ![]() For example, during a period where groceries are bonused, you might want to stock up on pantry items with long shelf lives in order to maximize your rewards potential. You could buy those gift cards, earn bonus cash back and then redeem those gift cards at businesses you visit anyway.Īnother way to maximize your rewards is to strategically time when you make your purchases. Many gas stations sell similar merchandise to convenience stores as well as gift cards to restaurants and retail stores. Don’t spend money you wouldn’t otherwise, but perhaps buying what you need from a different store can help your purchases fall within a different category.įor example, if the bonus categories include gas stations, you could buy other merchandise you do need within the store. In those cases, try to think outside the box to find creative ways to max out your bonus. Occasionally, the bonus categories might not match your normal routine. Other quarters may not be as straightforward. In some quarters, the rotating categories will line up perfectly with your spending habits and it will be easy for you to maximize the full $1,500 spending limit-or $75 in rewards- allowable per quarter. Once you’ve activated the bonus categories, you can shop knowing you’re earning a pumped-up rewards rate. ![]()

In her mind’s eye, she could already see the neon sign, a neat blue one, without red or green in it: Cain describes his main character as she plans to open an eponymous chicken and waffle restaurant: (What came first: the chicken or the song?) In his 1941 novel, Mildred Pierce, set in 1931 in Glendale, California, James M. To its cred, chicken and waffles gets a mention in both music and literature: Famed jazz trumpeter and band leader, Bunny Berigan - possibly fueled by the dish - recorded a “jaunty” tribute to chicken and waffles with his band, The Blue Boys, in 1935. The Home of Chicken and Waffles in Jack London Square was originally a franchise of Roscoe’s but has been family owned since 2004. Old timers may recall that Oakland once had a Roscoe’s, located at 336 Grand Ave at Perkins. One of the Wells hotspot’s regulars, Herb Hudson, introduced this ‘round midnight repast to the West Coast, opening the now famous Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles in Hollywood in 1976 (currently with eight other locations in the area). Wells provided a satisfying post-gig dinner/early breakfast for jazz musicians and their audience regulars. We can trace the popularity of this dynamic combo to New York in the 1930s and ‘40s: precisely to the late night-or-is-it-early-morning crowd at Wells Supper Club, a restaurant in Harlem. I hope that this report might convince doubters to try the flavorful pairing, though they’ll also have to contend with one of life’s greatest mysteries: Is it dinner for breakfast… or breakfast for dinner? The sweet and salty combination of crispy fried chicken and golden waffles suffused with syrup can be enjoyed in a number of East Bay restaurants and diners any time of day. When it comes to chicken and waffles, there are two kinds of people: doubters and devotees - no middle ground.

Keep in mind that using liquid food coloring will thin out your icing. However, liquid food coloring I find isn’t as vibrant or come in as many colors as gel. I prefer a gel food coloring because it doesn’t take much to get the color you want and doesn’t add extra liquid to the frosting.īut you can also use a liquid food coloring, like McCormick food coloring, that you would get from the grocery store.

Increase speed to medium once the powdered sugar has been mixed in. Continue adding in the powdered sugar gradually. With mixer off, gradually add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar at a time then mix on low speed at first. I prefer using my stand mixer with my paddle attachment, but a hand mixer can also be used. In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, beat on medium speed together the butter and shortening until smooth and combined, about 1-2 minutes. ![]() For a pure white frosting, use clear vanilla extract.Īlmond extract – I love the flavor that almond extract gives to the frosting but you can omit this and swap in more vanilla. Vanilla extract – I recommend using pure vanilla extract for best flavor, but imitation vanilla can also be used. I used whole milk, but a lower-fat milk or plant-based milk also works. You can also use heavy cream or half and half. Milk – This will thin out the frosting and provide some richness. ![]() If your sugar is lumpy, try sifting it first.

This means that the chair will recline from a pivot point right under the seat. For example, most cheap chairs will have center-tilt or swivel-tilt recline mechanisms. The adjustments offered on cheap office chairs are typically much more limited than those on more expensive chairs. ![]() Because most of the parts on this chair are custom made, they fit together perfection, giving it one of the cleanest and attractive looks in the office chair industry. The chair feels like it’s the most solid out of the bunch, but the biggest separation between the others is the fit and finish. The parts are all high-end, with most being designed specifically for the Aeron. The Herman Miller Aeron will be another huge step in comparison to the Vera. You can tell that there is more substance in the chair and that it’s built to last much longer than a cheaper chair. You immediately notice that the chair feels much more solid, has top-tier components, and is put together with parts that fit nicely together. The Eurotech Vera is a huge jump in quality from a chair that costs around $100. With all these costs considered, you realize that very little money was actually put into the build quality of a chair that costs less than $100. A lot of the value comes from packaging, shipping, and manufacturing costs topped off by the assumed margins taken by the company selling the chair. This means that there is very little value in the actual material of the chair. When looking at inexpensive office chairs it’s important to understand that they are built with the lowest quality components to keep the price low. Build Qualityīuild quality is where you’ll see the most drastic difference between cheap and expensive office chairs. Doing so will give you the peace of mind of sitting in a chair that’s covered for a minimum of 12 years. This is where a ton of the value comes when deciding to buy a high-end office chair. For example, the Eurotech Vera has five years of coverage on the foam and fabric of the chair, covering users up to 275 lbs., and a usage rating of 40 hours a week.īumping up to the Herman Miller Aeron, you’ll receive 12 years of coverage on everything for users over 300 lbs. More expensive chairs will have longer warranty coverage, higher weight ratings, and in some cases, longer usage ratings. Some cheap chairs don’t even come with a warranty at all. Typically, you’ll find cheap chairs equipped with a warranty of one year or less, cheap components, and lower weight ratings (between 200-250 lbs.). Warranty coverage will vary greatly between the cheapest and most expensive chairs. When you look at the highest priced chairs, like the Herman Miller Aeron, you’ll receive your chair fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box. ![]() You’ll also notice that the parts fit together much more smoothly than those on a cheaper chair. A chair like the Eurotech Vera will have most of the tedious components which bring the assembly time down to around 15 minutes. Because the parts may be low end, they don’t always fit together perfectly for the assembly process.Īs you go up in price, you will typically see less assembly required. However, this means you’ll be spending at least 30-60 minutes assembling your chair when it arrives – this doesn’t always go smoothly. Shipping them completely disassembled allows them to be shipped in the smallest possible box to keep the cost down. AssemblyĬheap office chairs will almost always require a lot of assembly. Having your chair more protected for the shipping process will save you from potentially having your chair show up damaged and in need of repair or replacement parts. ![]() Most chairs use FedEx or UPS Ground, where they are not always gentle with the boxes. The more expensive chair will have stronger cardboard, foam inserts, and protective plastic for shipping. This is done intentionally to keep the price low, but you have a much higher chance for damage as compared to a higher priced chair. Chairs on the cheaper end have the lowest quality packaging. The first difference you’ll notice between cheap and expensive office chairs is the shipping process. Watch “Stop Buying CHEAP Office Chairs” Video Who is and The Learning Center?

![]() ![]() Short sellers are then forced to buy back the stock they had initially sold, in an effort to keep their losses from mounting. Short sellers are exposed to a risk of short squeezing, which occurs when the shorted stock jumps in value due, for instance, to a sudden piece of favorable news. This is in contrast with taking a long position (simply owning the stock), where the investor's loss is limited to the cost of their initial investment. The practice carries an unlimited risk of losses, because there is no inherent limit to how high a stock's price can rise. Short selling is a finance practice in which an investor, known as the short-seller, borrows shares and immediately sells them, hoping to buy them back later ("covering") at a lower price, return the borrowed shares (plus interest) to the lender and profit off the difference. Main articles: Short (finance) and Short squeeze On March 25, the stock recovered dramatically, rising by 53 percent.īackground Short selling and short squeezes On March 24, the GameStop stock price fell 34 percent to $120.34 per share after earnings were released and the company announced plans for issuing a new secondary stock offering. On February 24, the GameStop stock price doubled within a 90-minute period, and then averaged in the neighborhood of $200 per share for another month. The unusually high price and volatility continued after the peak in late January. House Committee on Financial Services held a congressional hearing on the incident. Dozens of class action lawsuits have been filed against Robinhood in U.S. This decision attracted criticism and accusations of market manipulation from prominent politicians and businesspeople from across the political spectrum. On January 28, some brokerages, particularly app-based brokerage services such as Robinhood, halted the buying of GameStop and other securities, citing the next day their inability to post sufficient collateral at clearing houses to execute their clients' orders. The price of many other heavily shorted securities and cryptocurrencies also increased. At its height, on January 28, the short squeeze caused the retailer's stock price to reach a pre-market value of over US$500 per share ($125 split-adjusted), nearly 30 times the $17.25 valuation at the beginning of the month. The short squeeze was initially and primarily triggered by users of the subreddit r/wallstreetbets, an Internet forum on the social news website Reddit, although a number of hedge funds also participated. Approximately 140 percent of GameStop's public float had been sold short, and the rush to buy shares to cover those positions as the price rose caused it to rise even further. ![]() In January 2021, a short squeeze of the stock of the American video game retailer GameStop ( NYSE: GME) and other securities took place, causing major financial consequences for certain hedge funds and large losses for short sellers.

But, the board has had to deal with some growing pains. The post also addresses why cryptos were banned in the first place: They don’t fit with the subreddit’s primary focus of traditional investing. The mod said that r/WallStreetBets would allow with a daily crypto discussion thread, in which Bitcoin (CCC: BTC-USD), Ethereum (CCC: ETH-USD) and Dogecoin (CCC: DOGE-USD) comments would be fair game.
