Minnestota Timberwolves ended up losing this match (in OT).
It got to a point where they were up by 12 with about a minute left and our win probability thing at work had less than 0.1% chance of Kings winning
They seem to love scoring highly in 4th Q vs T-Wolves

Dunno if you have anything at all to do with Tom T, but if so, tell him I said hello!!! As you say, mad ... and lovely to meet you Lazare, even at a "distance"! 👍
I'll message him later on and tell him I was chatting to you.

Cool. That's how I got to know your Dad, playing poker, mainly in The Loft in Naas. Got to know him bout 2006 or 2007. Now, we never hung out together or anything but had many's the good chat about life, love, the universe and all, as he would slowly relieve me of all my Chips !!! Thought he might end up in Spain, he loved the lifestyle over there ok...

They are not even vaguely interested in engaging the leadership and while it appears they are going over straight over their heads and addressing the besieged people of Palestine perhaps their real intended audience is a very small group that one that maybe doesn't even exist right now.
If we look past the obvious theatrics, everyone knows it's presentation at this time is mostly about cover for two crooks facing their own investigations but the probability is that in two years time those two crooks will still be in power. What then? The Palestinians on their own are too broken and broke for another upscaling of the never ending David v Goliath intifada. Will Iran be willing or able to enter a full scale war with the Americans? Because that is what it will take if Trump gets a second term.
Without the backing of Iran there is nothing but surrender and complete subjugation for them and with it there is just continued war.
I can see how an alternative future of bribery and corruption fed from a magic porridge pot would have the potential to seed a new kind of leadership.Turning millions into thousands

It's nonsense, in the unlikely event that they charge for cash withdrawal it will only be in a few outliers like festivals maybe the odd tourist trap etc.
If you don't want to pay it don't use it .

If that goes too far people will vote with their feet, I don't think anyone is ever going to be in a position where they need to for instance pay a fee to get cash to do the weekly shopping.
Cash was always very expensive to handle, even when it accounted for 90% of transactions and with ATM's and the most efficient cash handling operations possible were in use the overall cost was a minimum of 3% and could be as much as double that for medium sized business that took in large amounts.
Now that cash usage is falling off a cliff the cost for banks grows enormously, I wouldn't know these days but I'd say the same is true for bigger retailers too.
I wouldn't be surprised if you soon see supermarkets shifting a lot of their loyalty discounts to non cash payments onlyTurning millions into thousands

On the other hand, why do people expect to get a very very convenient service for free?
ya ya you can say there would be no banks without our deposits, but you also definitely wouldn't put your paycheck under the mattress so give it a rest.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

The very existence is too drain every cent from the customers . The very same who pay USC every week to help repair the damage they did to the country . Who gets their profits now ?
Anyone paying USC should get free banking .

If it's the case of one of theme doing the outsourcing, its a terrible idea.
If its the case of select ATMs in very very convenient places charging then I'm ok with that.
It's no different to Airport Currency exchanges hammering you on rates.
I had an idea for an app that lets people in airports search for other people to exchange money with. Seems to make sense. Would geo fence to an airport to mitigate the obvious crime element.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Bills are split easy.
Tap limit is higher.
Tipping option(its their culture ok) is on the POS machine.
I almost never use cash.
Added bonus of credit card rewards schemes being decent here is another incentive to discard cash.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

It has been mentioned in the past but Japan is pretty interesting.
One of the most technologically advanced countries in the world yet insist on using cash for a much larger proportion of their transactions than most countries.
Conversely, I was pretty surprised how little cash was used in NZ but it's understood as NZ was the first country where EFTPOS was trialled so it's been a part of transactions for longer than most.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostYeah, almost never use cash ever since contactless payments arrived as the minimum limit dropped to nothing in the shops after that. Even the grannies manning the market stalls have machines or apps now to take payments. Still use loads of cheques though - maybe about five a month. France seems to have an obsession with cheques.
Surely most people get cashback in shops if they really need cash anyway?
Although, and this is maybe a circular issue - but if everyone is using cards then how to shop tills have cash given they are the main cash machines now?

I damaged my card last week and only ordered another one yesterday as I have been using the phone since with no idea it has such a low limit. I did a bit of shopping that I was sure was over that limit a few days back. Just checked online and it was 29.60. Phew, that could have been embarrassing
