That card lock isn’t to keep someone else from stealing your card, it’s to make you take it. As long as the machine will only do what you’ve asked after you take your card, the bank isn’t responsible for your card at all.

I’ve seen machines that still hold the card so it can’t be removed (even though it remains visible), and will only release the card before completing whatever transaction you’ve asked it to do. Like, you have to take the card before it’ll tell you your balance or give you cash or whatever. This is 100% a “we’re not taking responsibility for you leaving your card in the machine” thing.

OP is clearly conflating “Americans” with some very specific people they have a fair beef with.

I have yet to see any evidence americans will “use their guns” against fascists.

The people who have traditionally yelled about 2A and “the gubmint” taking their guns are today’s fascists. Besides that, using firearms to topple a fascist regime that controls the most powerful military the world has ever seen will require a great deal of organization, planning, coordination, supply, and about ten times as many people doing non-“infantry” stuff to have a snowball’s chance in hell of being successful - let alone the political support of a whole lot of state and local governments.

Not sure what you think should be happening short of a full civil war. I mean, that’s what it’s gonna take, and that’s what’s gonna happen, but you can’t seriously think that the practical foundations are yet in place for it.

Bad OCR of the long s.

I wouldn’t even argue with bailing wire and a tight twist.

If anyone needs to know, those exhaust heat shields can often be secured with a stainless hose clamp, or discarded entirely.

They weren’t saying the tax should be levied per passenger, only that the tax structure as it stands probably already scales well if you calculate per passenger.

I was on a flight to Richmond, VA, many years ago. Delayed delayed, mechanical something. We finally board and depart, and right in the middle of the climb after takeoff, the plane turns real hard and heads back to the airport. People were kind of freaked out, they weren’t telling us anything.

Back in the airport, we learn that there was some issue with the cabin pressure. They thought they had fixed it, they hadn’t. Eventually, they decided, “Fuck it, we’re going to fly across the country in this 737 at 7000 feet.” Maybe a third of the passengers got back on the plane, I was one. It was cold as fuck.

Might, but that article is in reference to digital products and not physical ones.

I can’t imagine that’s enforcible. It is a reasonable expectation that when you purchase the product, you are free to use the product without further limitations being put upon you. They’d have to have you agree to arbitration before purchase, wouldn’t they?

That’ll happen in the midst of autoerotic asphyxiation.

Not mutually exclusive.

Get out. Either say this to him or do it yourself.

I love Skechers.

Perfect excuse to get a hotel room … ?

The people who are making these things happen are wholly unfamiliar with consequences.

Conflating two very different political groups seems par for the course.
