Oh my god FUCK OFF, KAREN. That first paragraph is entirely a product of a situation you - and you alone - imagined, based your own self-indulgent righteousness and prejudice. If the bank has bullshit processes, even the most egregious simpleton would see that by throwing a tantrum at the working class labourer who is as bound by them as you are, all you’re doing is succeeding at making their life worse while utterly failing to address the systemic issue causing the problem. You want to write a letter to their boss, complaining that the worker was hesitant to address an unusual query, you UTTER FUCKING NARK? Get a sense of perspective. You soulless husk.

I can’t find the photo I took, which is annoying, but I was working in schools a couple of years back and in the IT room there was a huge display on the wall with the title “Amazing Things We Can Do With Computers” and the list was, literally, this:
- YouTube
- TikTok
- Amazon
- Spotify
- FaceTime
FWIW, Chromebooks can be used as more than just web browser devices. The real problem is who is setting - and teaching - the curriculum. Some other schools had amazing curriculums but they usually had one, single, solitary, clued-up teacher.
They are, but I feel like there are people who like to cause unnecessary confusion by making things out to be more complex than they are (not just limites to roundabouts, either).
A bit of info for anyone who doesn’t know how to use a roundabout: it’s just a one-way street that loops around on itself tightly. Seriously. That’s it.
Yes, it’s a shame they didn’t make a fifth one 😐.
9·1 month agoHonestly in rare situations that a device like that needs to be accessible from the wild Internet I think it’d be mad to expose it directly, especially if it’s not manageable as you suggest. At the very least, I’d be leaning on a reverse proxy.
Be sure to regularly defrag your C: drive or things might slow down.
Proud supporter here. I chuck them a few quid every month.
A lot of services have got wise to that block +alias addresses, or at least treat them all as a single address. its_me+ubereats45@gmail.eggs is obviously an alias, but ubereats45@its_me.eggs is harder to detect.
I feel like you’re asking that because you have an absolute zinger ready to go but you’re not sure how it’ll be received.
Unfortunately billionaires rarely try to educate themselves about the world at all, let alone gather together in a single cramped room to be educated. Still, it’s a nice idea.
Why the fuck is that mouse cursor pointing right? How did that happen? What kind of loving God would allow that?
2·4 months agoJFC. I knew that show was bad, but I honestly feel like I’m thicker from having watched that. You can’t just post shit like that without warning.
Known as the Praxis Effect amongst movie nerds or, in the Homestar Runner universe, “those blast-wavey Saturn rings that have become so popular lately.”
“You’re about two kilometers outside the anomaly.”
“Chuck.”
“I’m sorry, what?”
“The anomaly. I named the anomaly ‘Chuck’.”
“NEVER name the anomalies. That’s how you get hurt.”
That was actaully a brick joke in the first episode of Archer. Here’s the first part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahObgDYU58E
12·6 months agoDepends on your local laws and such, but in most European countries you can get a prepaid SIM card for a couple of euros/pounds/whatever at any supermarket, making them practically free. If you need a temporary number for a scammy special offer or any situation where your number is publicly visible (Gumtree, etc) it’s a no-brainer IMHO.
If your phone suppprts running two SIMs at once, it has two IMEIs so as far as the network(s) are concerned it’s two distinct handsets unless they deduce otherwise.
A fun aside: years ago I did some work for a small phone company (the company was small, not the phone) and they gave me a SIM with 100 numbers in a block and access to a portal I could manage them with. Sadly, I forgot to pay the annual £10 renewal fee.
IIRC that rule applies to debit cards only, which most businesses pay a flat monthly fee to handle, as opposed to credit cards which charge a percentage. Also, fuck AMEX.
A lot of the convenience of the modern UK high street baking sector is because of Girobank, the 1960s Government’s successful attempt to force modernisation on the banking industry. When I hear about the ass-backwardsness of other country’s banking arrangements (especially the US) I give a little thankyou to Girobank.
Edit: Also, yes, tourist ATMs are predatory bullshit.
It’s amazing how stuff that was simple even twenty years ago is so unusual now. I’m in the UK and we simply do not have cheques any more, for example. About ten years ago I had to pay a supplier in the US by cheque and I actually had to go to my bank and get them to print one for me - the staff member who helped me said they’d worked there two years and it was the first cheque he’d had to produce. When I was a kid people paid with cheque constantly, everyone had a chequebook, though I’ve got to say I’m glad to see the back of them. If guess that withdrawing specific denominations of cash is the same. If I just wanted to withdraw an amount of money, I’d use my nearest cash machine, but to specifically ask for this quantity of that denomination is, presumably, a bit left field.
