I used a pharmaceutical excursion as a pretext for breakfast meat and visiting my parents and my mother was delighted that her comfort package reached my nephews and it made her day and my niece was kind of in a huffy mood because she's in the terrible twos and I also discovered I shall be related to a Coronial in December or so so that's cool today wasn't awful.
I've been trying to keep my breakfast intake to a single Jimmy Deans sandwich (and a pair of waffles) for the last bit.
Last grocery run, I got the croissants instead of the biscuits. I know the only difference is that fake croissant, but man are they no where near as good as the biscuits.

I genuinely don't understand what the consumer appeal of Google pay (or Apple pay, for that matter) is meant to be
Of course, it could be that there isn't one, and the whole space is just a fight between various payment processors as to who gets the transaction fee
i can pay over the contactless limit with great convenience
pulling out my wallet and then my card and then putting it in the machine and then whoops it didn't work so you take the card out and wipe the chip and then maybe it'll work if you hold the machine a certain way is really awful
Hmm
Maybe I just don't buy enough stuff in person over the contactless limit
The only thing I can think of offhand is big supermarket shops
i pay for lunches, the weekly shop and any online orders with apple pay
also i prefer it to the card for smaller purchases since i probably have my phone in my hand if i'm queueing for something anyway

Why the fuck does Google have about a dozen different services that could all plausibly fill the same function?
In addition to my opinions above, Google, specifically, had an early culture of 80/20 where 20% of your time was working on an interesting side project. This worked out really well, honestly, back in the 00s, when that kind of investment allowed them to accelerate into spaces that expanded their core advertising platform, but in a huge monolithic company like it is now - even with the Alphabet restructuring - the policy interacts with the toxic Tech Bro mind to produce many competing identical services as egos with Masters or PhDs clash.
This couldn't be more wrong. Almost nobody does this anymore and it is flat out impossible to launch a product without a substantial full time team on it and exec support
Just blaming "toxic tech bros" is missing the point. They keep changing their mind about what to build, and it doesn't really matter if they succeed or not. Plus you make a new chat app, get promoted and move on in a few years
Let's use open protocols! -> gchat
Let's not so we can move faster! -> hangouts, old
Let's use a new backend so we can add more features eventually! -> hangouts, new
Let's use phone numbers as ids! -> Allo, duo
Hangouts, new sucks and its backend sucks! -> chat
Maybe it’s an artifact of our national banking cultures but I can think of a lot of people in my life who if I wanted to send them ten bucks for lunch and said ok give me your account number and routing number- they would be super uncomfortable

Huh. It's pretty routine here. It's the same details that would be printed on a cheque back when they were used.
To my knowledge the only way you could use it to extract money from an account would be through setting up a direct debit, for which you would also need other personal information. Only organisations can actually set them up, though, and the consumer protection legislation around them is such that of they are set up fraudulently you get the money back, immediately, with the burden of proof on the organisation to demonstrate it wasn't fraud.
So you couldn't like, transfer money out of an account
Oh god I didn’t know this was an established slogan. What is the bill for?
In conservative circles they are trying to find a way to blame China for the virus and then sue them or something.
I mean sovereign immunity is a thing and all though so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The conspiracy theory is the virus escaped from a lab in China. If the virus came from eating exotic animals bought from a wet market, the CCP can laugh off claims of responsibility. "Oh, well, you know how wacky peasants are. Not our fault." If the virus came from a Chinese research installation, they will have to break out their checkbooks for reparations.

I don’t know what infrastructure is in place. But despite that information being present on a check, it’s only ever really requested by businesses.

im watching a man complain that armor in DnD is unrealistic.
He doesn't like the idea of studded leather being good armor.
and im just like......
"What if the leather and the studs are super mildly enchanted?"
Like, okay, you're in a setting where magic is real, wouldn't it be trivial for a wizard to, like, enchant thousands of little metal studs to be used in armormaking? And then sell them (fairly cheap since they're fairly easy to make)? And no one mentions is because most people don't care how armor is made and because enchanted studs are just........ a super basic fact of life like how we have straws in every fastfood restaurant.
I think there's a fundamental problem if you look at fantasy settings and think "This isn't realistic and it would be better if it were"...
LIKE............ YEAH, sure, maybe you and other historians would enjoy the realism more but that doesn't make it objectively better.

that doesn't matter to people, it still reeks of scam especially when there's a bunch of other services (venmo, cashapp etc) that do it without asking for what people consider sensitive info

Oh I keep a few gold ones in my back pocket too, but Eddy got caught.
they will be schooled
But this is why we have bitcoin
I typically just bank transfer for that

Do you need their account info for this?
Yes, but once they're set up you can just reuse the payee
I have a bunch of people I work with set up, for instance, for splitting food bills
Haven't found the British airmen I guess...
🤔
We're gonna get sick and make china pay for it!
a british newspaper suggested this in earnest last month
all of ireland just stared straight into the camera
We use it at EchoCorp and it's great for sharing documents and shit.
It is however Where Documents Go To Die once things are actually written.
