Oh yeah, no discredit to the services to the consumer. On the merchant side though, they don’t want to pay for the higher fees to accept the cards

I’m guessing this is why lots of merchants don’t accept American Express? Probably have the highest rates hitting the merchants

You said you recently got a gigabit plan, but that’s related to your home download speed. Check to see what your upload speed actually is. Depending on your ISP’s plans, you might have a speedy download but a slow upload.

‘TomSka and Friends’ has good enjoyable ads. They generally only have the one sponsor (Surfshark VPN) but they’ve done a lot for pushing for more enjoyable ads. Their off the rails skits are ones I don’t skip

I’ve used Grocy before that had good functionality for that. Can create chores that are done regularly and it can be assigned to certain people, or rotates through the family. The main feature is tracking groceries, but it does so much more.

Check out the AAWireless dongle. It’s mainly for Android, but its beta version seems to have CarPlay support.

We didn’t even go for diamonds for primary stones. My wife’s main stone is some blue tanzanite. Mine has some funky pattern to it

My wife and I got our rings at a pawn shop. Lots of old and fun rings

I am not ashamed of my beliefs, and I don’t shy away from the fact that the church has people who don’t abide by our teachings. Many choose to put our beliefs first and vote for policies that harm society, and I hope that they can see reason and stop the harm being done. All members should follow Christ’s commandment to love one another, and yet they do not. They are fallible, as are all people regardless of religion, spirituality, or lack thereof.

Your beliefs should not be respected because they are objectively wrong Which of my beliefs are you referring to? There are many parts of our doctrine. Unfortunately, the church has erred in the past, they do in the present, and will in the future, on social issues far and wide. They may put policies in place that do not match the current order of things, or that offend. Church policies are not perfect as they are made by imperfect humans.

But our doctrine doesn’t change, our beliefs stay the same. Our core values depend on loving each other and caring for each other. From our current church president:

Any abuse or prejudice toward another because of nationality, race, sexual orientation, gender, educational degrees, culture, or other significant identifiers is offensive to our Maker! Such mistreatment causes us to live beneath our stature as His covenant sons and daughters!

Absolutely going to get downvoted since Lemmy and Reddit both hate the LDS church, but here’s one of our core beliefs from our Articles of Faith:

We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

Every religion has bad actors. Those who will turn a blind eye to core tenets. Those who hate their fellow people in the name of their god.

My religion fully respects other faiths and beliefs, even when they don’t align with our own. I’d say that for many, if not most, religions are welcoming and at a minimum help people in need, comforting those who need it. Those are to be respected.

We absolutely have a problem with religious zealots and they deserve whatever form of karma and consequences that happen to them. They will reap what they sow. But that doesn’t mean disrespecting or putting down those who really do believe and live the teachings of their religion. Actual teachings from their holy books, not the “Religion of this particular verse” that gets used to belittle others.

From Wikipedia:

Scientific theories are broader in scope, and give overarching explanations of how nature works and why it exhibits certain characteristics. Theories are supported by evidence from many different sources, and may contain one or several laws.

Evolution as a Theory explains why and how species have tranformed over millenia. This Theory is absolutely supported by various sources and works on our current understanding of the laws of physics.

What’s great about a theory is that it has the potential to be disproven if a new source of evidence is provided. We may never obtain evidence saying it doesn’t exist, and we likely never will with how we currently understand the world and its properties. But the fact is that it is a theory.

For all we know we are in a simulation and we’re slowly learning how our universe is coded. Or maybe we do have a sentient God or God-like figure who has meticulously guided our evolution though the ages. Maybe one day several hundred years in the future we’ll be able to propose a new Theory using evidence found by using equations that we simply can’t imagine in our current state.

In short, person you responded to is generally right. If you’re going to argue against it, please provide something to work with.

That’s a bizzare acronym to me. I just say “Edit:”. Sign of the times, I’ve outgrown the younger generation’s new way of talking to each other.

Off topic, but I’ve been seeing a lot of people use ETA as of late in places it doesn’t make sense. I’ve always known it as an acronym for “Estimated Time of Arrival”.

Does it have some new meaning that I’ve missed out on?

Heck, I just got back from a 10 day trip on the east coast. We did so much in so little time, but took plenty of photos. Now when I’m telling family about our vacation, I can bring them along through the pictures and they help me tell the story of what was happening in the moment.

One of our systems at work don’t let you use the past thirteen passwords! Plus monthly password changes. Guess who’s got a generic password that has an ever increasing number at the end of it…

We love our SleepNumber as well! Been worth the money for sure. Nowadays they’re basically all the same models, but you pay for the upgrades (more foam, heating and cooling, being able to raise/lower head and feet)

There’s an option to change the download size. 2GB is the smallest, 50GB I believe is the biggest. Downloaded my Google Photos to import into Immich yesterday, I opted for 10GB files and had 17 zip files to download.

Even though he has over 35 million subscribers, I’d say Markiplier is pretty darn genuine with his content. He has brand deals every once in a while, but most of his stuff is just him goofing around playing games with his friends.
