I was thinking about this during my drive to work this morning.
My worry about the shift here will be power companies gouging us on electricity prices and those people who already have a hard time to afford their bill will be left pretty much fucked. Some people choose to just NOT have a car, and it works just fine for their life-style. This move to electric cars will royally screw with a lot of people in the form of much higher power bills.
I don't know the numbers, obviously, but I can't imagine this is going to go down as well as we'd like it to. Cold winter months already ramp up bills in the 4-5, sometimes 6+hundreds of dollars. I clearly remember paying that a couple years ago and I was the only one living in the home at the time, and this was a pretty small house compared to current standards.
Dunno. As much as I want this move to happen, and myself wanting to purchase an electric vehicle; this whole thing worries me in that sense.
As an Atlantic Canadian this makes me unbelievably sad. They just traumatized a family because the government was incompetent. Is this truly where we're going? They fucking interrogated his 13 year old sister?! I mean the documentation was fucking public; THIS IS HOW THEY CHOOSE TO HANDLE THEIR INCOMPENTENCY?
PM is outright saying he stole sensitive information; 15 officers raided the house.
Atlantic Canada is a pretty quiet place, and there's already enough sketchiness about how the general population feels about our police force; they're really not helping their case. I swear if they (Gov. & police force, RCMP I presume) don't get any repercussions for this I'll be legitimately scared of continuing to live in this country. This is beyond fucking ridiculous. I mean 10 fucking years in prison??
Isn't this why so many people trust Bitcoin "security" to begin with? So you can trace any and all transactions back to the inception of the bitcoins used themselves? Seems rather pointless if you can just delete any records. Sounds more like a scam every time I read something new about them.
That's a fair point. Personally I'd rather deal with people face to face when it comes to big loans, like a mortgage for example. There's probably no difference from what you get in the end in both scenarios, but it is simple preference.
I go to my bank once every two weeks to get my cash spending money (cafeteria at work doesn't take anything else and the ATM gouges you), and I've recently got a CC with tap functionality (holy it's convenient...) as it was recommended by the mortgage broker I spoke with so I could build up some credit, as I didn't have much in terms of loans at the time. Plus it gives me a little back, so hey, why not.
Physical branches are dwindling every year though, so surely I'll be forced to adapt sooner than later.
That makes sense. I posted before reading through the comment section and a bunch of valid points were brought up. Regardless, getting RID of cash completely seems like a sketchy prospect.
Most banks accomodate at least one day a week (and sometimes Saturdays, oh my gosh!) where they are open during extended hours so their customers with regular jobs don't need to worry.
I can't speak for your country's situation, but in Canada, if your bank doesn't have a similar setup, you're with the wrong institution and should consider switching if this actually poses a problem for you.
while shops and cafes increasingly refuse to accept notes and coins because of the costs and risk involved.
Isn't notes and coins the LEAST costly, and by some extension, less risk involved than most other payments? Aren't there transaction fees to most payment methods to begin with? What am I missing here?
They need to understand from a very young age that there is a lot of false information on the internet. If they end up watching these videos it's in large parts because they're interested in it. When they find out a few things they've been shown are false, they'll be more likely to start digging deeper for answers.
Stop trying to cover stuff; it only adds credibility to the lie.
Telomere increase? Maybe I'm just lacking a couple morning coffees here but doesn't that mean the effects of aging would be much less present in space?
Hence why I visit this place less and less.. It's not getting any better. The news itself is quite interesting, but does it always need to be presented in click-bait form? Fuck off, seriously.

...and then maybe I'll consider whatever the hell it is you have to say.
... but you just did; great job. Why do you care so much if he's anon if what you're fighting for is privacy?
Get a grip dude.
I don't care if you're a gay, blackanese, transexual. Did you answer my PROGRAMMING-related question?
Yes? Thank you.
Impossible! Who would do such a thing!

I'm sorry but if you can't even laugh at Uranus jokes, the problem isn't the site populous, it's you.
Shouldn't have to be said but here goes:
"Nobody is forcing you to read them."
Depends what I ate.
As a maritimer, I should know that it doesn't matter. Both will fuck us in the ass the moment they get a chance.
Depends where the janitors come from.

Yeah; I'm fucking angry, sorry.
If you pull on it hard enough, you too can achieve this measurement!
Pretty much this.
It's always the same people regurgitating bullshit daily.

Neither of you.
I dug out my monitor from a trash can. Free.
Go fuck yourselves.

the idea is to make things either impossible or so absurdly difficult that it won't happen.
You underestimate how much time and determination some people have. It only takes one.

Just don't cover those pinholes so you can actually breathe.
Lately; diarrhea.
The poop one.
You give them a bunch of pron. Hand strength will come, don't worry.
