I've gotten to watch a fair number of soundchecks as the only civilian in the room - it really is a magical experience. I've become friends with the guys in my favorite band and it's lead to some really magical experiences, like the time I got to play guitar for the last minute or so of a sold out show at the Ryman in Nashville (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tCrreXh0Pg&list=RD8tCrreXh0... starting at about the 6 minute mark)

I legitimately thought to myself “that sounds like something Jason Isbell would pull”, lol.

Hehe. I have gotten to see Jason sit in with them a few times.

That only matters if said repair shops are A: actually trained on the vehicles and B: can get parts.

It’s not trolling. When twitter turned on locations a few weeks ago many of the top maga accounts were revealed to be operating out of Russia or India.

Look into Atkinson Hyper Ledgible. I basically force its use everywhere these days. It’s hard to put my finger on why, but it’s just, well, super legible.

It does all that while still looking like a normal, attractive font too.

The reverse slash of the 0 looks strange, which might have done to elminate a possible confusion with Norwegian ø.

Also differentiates from %.

Those suits will be seen by the worst judges the Heritage Foundation could ram through. I would not be nearly so confident of a sane outcome.

It’s proportionally more expensive to run a credit card charge for twice the amount, yes.

Calling this banking is incredibly misleading as it is not FDIC insured. Not a bank.

"Access $5M FDIC insurance or more"

Only with multiple caveats.

The first line on the page is "Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank.".

Ultimately the money is stored in actual banks. We're stuck with "fintechs" because banks seemingly can't/won't modernize and the government won't allow new banks to be created.

At least I know that bunq, an European „NeoBank“, applied for an FDIC license in the US and received one. It’s offers a lot of cool features and an API.

Except that Americans pay far more for these services than places where they aren't profit oriented. Try again. Reality does not support your assertion.

And furthermore, if a product designed to protect my income was only $200, I wouldn’t expect “serious security”, I’d expect exactly The kind of janky crap that was received.

They didn't even get into the actual protection itself. It may well be terrible, but it being xcopy-able is not the protection vendor's fault.
