Re:Bank Transfers as a Payment Method on Sunday July 16, 2023 @05:17AM (#36745028)

:) . it’s quite a jump you took from cash to debit card . You give me $50 in cold card cash . I run away . And you are telling me your bank is on the hook for that $50?

Re:Bank Transfers as a Payment Method on Friday July 14, 2023 @04:39PM (#36729603)

Prey tell, if you use cash, what recourse do you have in the event of fraudulent transfers? Does that also mean you refuse to use banks that provide cash ?

Hmm .. May be they could have bought sbc/att/Comcast/twc? Given their valuation at that time, they could have bought pretty much anybody.

I'm confused. His opening says >>> About seven months ago, I abruptly quit Twitter. And this is his twitter >>> http://imgur.com/xAyW4h1

Last I checked oct 21st's not "seven months ago"

What gives?

Re:Asiana Airlines Flight 214: A Pilot’s Perspective on Tuesday July 09, 2013 @10:56AM (#6012959)

For everybody talking about pilot error, please note that none of us have full info. Just as another datapoint read this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2357585/Crash-landin...

Same type of plane( yes different type of engines) , same type of issues while landing. I am not suggesting that sfo crash was due to engine failure. I am just suggesting that we all should wait for the investigation to conclude.
