I don't use a lot of cash, but I like to keep some on me cause it comes in handy every so often.
I am switching back more and more to eftpos over my credit card though, as so many places are either not accepting credit cards and/or contactless, or adding the extra charge that irks me (yes, I do blame the banks/payment providers for that, not the businesses).
"Hey guys, so I just did a bit of returning off screen and made 10,000 death star ships"
Leader Brian Tamaki called on Upper Hutt Mayor Wayne Guppy to cancel the event, warning “if the Mayor and his councillors do not shut this event down, I have instructed our Destiny Church members and ManUp men to shut it down.”
Oh yep, so where's the government and their getting tough on crime crowd when these fascist thugs are threatening people like this
Asshole government making life harder and costing the health system more money in the long term.
Yes I think so, that rings a bell. Something like that would be cool, I downloaded beeper earlier to give it a go and it immediately wants an email and privacy policy and I assume collects data on what clients you use and so on.
Something like pigdin that's just a front end that doesn't phone home anywhere or collect your data and you just log in through it would be awesome.
Right I see, could be useful if you're constantly switching between conversations on multiple platforms I guess. Which come to think of it I am. I only have the Instagram app because typing goes nuts when I try to message on their web interface.
Way back when I was running Ubuntu (like over a decade ago) there were a chat application that would combine Facebook chat, MSN (lol) and a bunch of others and it was very handy to have it right there on the desktop.
Oh damn that's a shame, I use Facebook calls quite a lot. Sounds like for me it could be one app to rule them all just resulting in yet another app on top the others lol.
On a related note, this is the first I'm hearing of beeper.
Is the main draw just being able to combine messaging across different apps into one, or are there other benefits too?
Oh no. Great that the government abruptly cancelled the new ferries with no plan to replace these ones that keep having massive failures. This one is the only rail ferry too
Ah right that's fair enough, SOEs definitely are a blindspot from an OIA perspective. I thought you meant in comparison to a private company, which would be the same if not worse.
I think in this case a combination of the huge public interest and the heavily regulated environment transpower operates under the causes will come out. But I guess we'll see
That's not a thing at all. SOEs face investigations like any other company. Kiwibank for example is getting prosecuted at the moment by the commerce commission for fair trading act breaches
Oh that's a pain, yeah there's a bit of a mix of places where you have to confirm the surcharge on the machine and others that just have a sign and you get automatically charged for credit/contactless.
It's all a bit of a mess and I can see that could lead some to just go back to cash, although there'll be other reasons I'm sure
