That's why the one card I carry is Visa. If apply pay doesn't work, then I don't get the biggest % reward, but it doesn't matter that much to me.

With contactless payment systems like Apple Pay, there's little need to carry around more than one default credit card.

Why? Both competitors have put new engines on old frames. Boeing has the MAX; Airbus has the A320neo. As far I can tell, the two planes are comparable. Also, there's already a 737-700, 737-800, 737-900.

As someone has taken coach class from LA to NY, I'll add that one night aboard the Lakeshore Limited was worse than two nights aboard the Southwest Chief. Smellier, smaller bathrooms, no lounge car, and uninteresting views.

> My standard recipe is 15 grams of coffee to 250 grams of water. Hmm I use 18 g of coffee for 340 g of water. It's what my grinder dispenses, and I use 12 oz of water. 13% more water per gram. Is that wrong?

Another issue is that the battery can swell. And you'll have to go through the process of ordering a third-party battery and trying to replace it yourself. At least with Apple, you can take it to the store for authorized service.

I share the same problem. I use SelfControl on MacOS to block all the distracting sites. I've configured my computer at work to start SelfControl on a schedule (9:00-18:00) so I have no choice over the block. Still though, there are a

I'd like to see how all this tech battles motion sickness. Like many people I think, reading while riding in cars/buses gives me motion sickness. This doesn't happen aboard trains.
