Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella...
Here you go - scroll down below the code, links to add extension to each browser. When you click the captcha, there’s a new button (person with a checkmark) at bottom right of captcha popup. Hit that, and wait a second or two.
The extension will work its magic and make the captcha go away.
No more wondering whether I should pretend to be human, or a bot, or if I need to slow down clicking thru.
I’m within commuting distance of Chicago, on the Illinois side of the line. For clarity, I don’t make that commute - I’m totally done spending hundreds of dollars a month and my valuable personal time on commuting.
Illinois is supposedly around $49k. That’s low for Champaign county, and clearly does not account for Chicago in a reasonable way.
The real numbers are far more depressing, and less reasonable. Factor in the variations from e.g., Springfield (median income $32k) vs Cook and Lake Counties, and it’s even less accurate.
Edit: I wrote the reply before noticing that I was not in a US-centric sub. That’s on me. But the general premise of “No, you can’t autodebit” or “Sure, I’ll let you think you can auto-debit. Doesn’t mean I’ll have it turned on at that moment” still holds.
Fidelity does not have an upper limit on the number of cash management accounts one can have. At least not one that I’ve discovered, as yet.
I’ve been doing this for years, but for me it’s more about sequestering money away from the card that I actively use. Ever sat there for a couple days and realized just how many times Apple will try to hit your card(s) the same day? Same with Amazon.
If that card approves, it’s because I’m explicitly trying to pay you, not because some company decided they want to be more aggressive with the autopay.
I don’t use Zelle etc for that, when I can help it - look at who runs that service. Yeah, no, not giving you even more data so you can make assumptions about my behavior and intentions.
In addition, I’ve found multi-currency cards with the ability to set aside money to be useful in the same way. I absolutely do not have trust or a prior relationship with everyone I’m paying over the course of a month, which means I want more control over that process than I normally get.
Is it a pain in the ass sometimes? Sure. But it’s also annoying to have to unlock cards when I want to use them - doesn’t mean that I forego that extra security. The alternative is bad.
Here, those charges normally hit our debit cards - not the account itself in the sense that a direct debit skips the card and basically functions like a check/cheque.
Nothing on the card, it declines, they can’t charge.
We used to use EFT with our ancient transfer system, still do for direct deposit payroll and such, but otherwise it’s all cards here. Very few people use account transfers. so none of that is a risk here. It takes two or three business days, and the merchant has zero visibility into whether or not the transaction will actually approve at the time they make the sale. Online merchants wouldn’t send items without cleared payment, but very few even use those transfers anymore because there’s just no information on whether the customer actually has the money or not.
In the airline example, they never would have gotten their money unless they were ok with making a very big problem out of it - most companies wouldn’t, and most companies would not pursue someone who owed them some nominal amount.
Credit cards don’t work like that here, they approve whether you want them to or not unless they’re locked, but debit cards lend themselves to sequestering money like that in multiple accts.
So I’m a New Zealander and I have a pretty good idea on how the electoral college system works but it honestly sounds like something that can be easily corrupted and it feels like it renders the popular vote absolutely useless unless I’m totally missing something obvious?...
Seriously, the reason we keep it is that it’s written into the constitution. Now is not the time to use either method to amend, so we’re stuck with it.
There’s no reason for it to exist, though I can see its utility before communications were instant.
A fellow denizen of r/legaladvice, I see… I miss the CO detector jokes (though it also served as a pretty damn effective PSA, which was cool) and tree law / SovCit jokes…
IIRC the OP had what sounded a lot like paranoid delusions, and sought reddit’s help - someobody figured out there was a CO leak and the guy was stable and mentally healthy except for the CO…
Alternative was him walking into a police station in an altered state trying to report people doing arguably crazy sounding things to him, which would have ended very poorly in many places.
My take on this is that it’s a relatively inexpensive endeavour for Diamine to do these, as their fixed costs don’t change. That doesn’t make it a given that they will, but does make it worth the ask.

Where I can, of course. Right now I’ve got Tsutsuji in a Safari and Party Time in an Al Star. The rest are random combinations. I’ve yet to find a pen I like that plays well with Hana Ikada, or Pink Sugar Beach.
As the title says. I’m looking for orange ink. Not too bright, not too muted, ideally tangerine 🍊 colour but a bit dirty - imagine a tangerine tree growing next to a busy road. Available in Europe.
So, I like to write simple notes, journaling, to-do lists, or essays/fiction with a fountain pen whenever possible, and I’m trying to find a good journal or planner to use. My Pilot and Diamine inks feather a lot on the paper I’m currently using, and that’s really the main problem I want to address....
Another vote for Midori and Rhodia. I’m looking for the spiral version of the Midori, in the meantime my daily driver is a sidebound Rhodia spiral. It just works, any ink, any pen.
