If your purpose for using cash or Monero is privacy, that's fine. If your purpose is to avoid paying fees to third parties just for the privilege of paying by a certain method, the swap service just takes the place of Visa/Mastercard.

As a 911 operator, I hate the SOS function and it has just gotten worse. Between this and the "car crash" detection, I spend 40% of my work day tracking down false alarms, often at the expense of using resources for actual emergencies. If I ever meet the person who decided to turn on the SOS function by default, I'm going to punch them squarely in the nose.

Ben and Jerry's used to make oatmeal cookie chunk that was phenomenal. They discontinued it in 2014.

Hey there everyone! Mods, feel free to remove this if it's inappropriate for the sub.

I'm looking for a particular Far Side comic that I was going to send to a friend as relevant to the conversation we were having at the time. I looked for it and couldn't find it, so I moved on in the conversation. But it bugged me that I couldn't find it. So I kept looking. Online turned into looking through some books and I still couldn't find it. It bothered me.

There is a cowboy on a horse in a vast, open expanse of desert, and the cowboy has driven the horse's face directly into what looks to be the only cactus for miles. I think the horse had a thought bubble that said something to the effect of "That's it, I'm driving from now on."

Tell me I'm not imagining this.

EDIT: Wow. Nevermind. It was literally posted in this community just days ago. That'll teach me to sort by "Top 12 hours".

As a full-time linux user since 2005 and a guy who swears every time he has to use a windows machine now, the Windows phone was actually really good. It had very few apps available and it certainly never took off commercially, but my girlfriend had one back in the day and it was a surprisingly nice piece of work.

I have no doubts that if it had gained traction and still been around today that it would be absolutely unusable.

I strangely went the opposite way on that, I liked them as a kid but find them too sour now.

Best of luck! One of these times it'll stick, and until it does every attempt is worth it anyway.

That's something that's bugging me. I should at the very least be able to see my own posts on my profile page even with the checkbox off

The Supreme Court struck down a similar law in 2002. Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535 U.S. 234. The Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996 prohibited "any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture" that "is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct".

I haven't seen or read the language of this Louisiana law, and presumably intelligent law-makers would be aware that a law with a similar intent has been ruled unconstitutional, so maybe they changed enough so that this one will hold up.
