Last Thursday.

I wouldn't say easy... But yeah, you don't just fall over.

Until cops prove themselves trustworthy, I will assume they're lying. They have a long way to go.

Since used vegetable oil can be used in place of diesel, I'd guess vegetable oil is more energy dense than gasoline...

To be super pedantic, no, ownership of your money never transfers to visa. When your card is swiped (tapped, whatever) visa (or mc or Amex or whoever else) facilitates communication between your bank and the merchant's bank, but no money moves yet. At the end of the day the merchant settles out those transactions, but that's still just data. The money moves typically a day or two later, and that is done directly between the customer and merchant's bank. Source: worked in credit card processing for ~9 years.

More likely - backed over it, pushed it over, pulling it out of the ground a bit, until they got far enough over it that the top was behind the bumper, then finally noticed something was wrong and tried to pull forward again, which started pulling the post upright again... All the more impressive because they would have been doing it slowly, and giving the car gas to overcome the extra resistance...

That has to be a fake name...

Same. IT has inside info no real phishers will have. So far only got dinged once, but that's enough. I was already terrible about answering emails, now I'll be worse.

Sometimes it's religious. My daughter was due to start kindergarten at the tail end of COVID lockdowns, so my wife and I were looking at options that didn't involve her sitting in a room with 20+ kids... There are people that will homeschool small groups of kids, like 5 or so, and the public school system will pay them per kid so there's no out of pocket cost to the parents. We interviewed with one family, and it was looking like it might be worth doing, they were obviously religious, but not obviously nutjobs, and I'm ok with my kids seeing that religion is out there as long as it's not being forced on them... But then the mom said those magic words, evolution is "just one theory" and I couldn't get past that. We ended up enrolling her in an online kindergarten.

Nobody else can see the files on your c:\ drive. Designing a "website" means little if you don't have a place to host it

Nobody specified whose benefit...

Where I work, we'd just call it an established product...
