TIL…

This is a good move but we have gone full circle.

1. Vendors cover cost to offset the cost of cash handling.
2. Vendors then pass on costs but at extra on top, stop trying to push using eftpos or cheaper methods. Coincides with tap to pay even on debit cards.
3. Government mandates that vendors can charge whatever but it has to reflect their actual cost and be shown
4. Vendors don’t bother to negotiate and charge 1.21% quite often.
5. My eftpos (0.3% or less) is now getting a 1.2% mark up at one provider i go to, so I just use the credit card because they didn’t bother.
6. vendors to cover costs (see #1)

The whole country now sending way more to visa and master card for 0 gain to the country.

To my international friends, eftpos is an Australian bank card processing system but only works for bank cards not credit cards.

I had to look this up.

In short, point to you for your correctness on the origin.

In matters of taste.

Not in every single way… I hate how the twisting of this phrase has resulted in abuse of an entire sectors workforce.

Sorry you were one of them too :(

Thank you for the detailed context. These posts are great.

I didn’t know about this one.

I only ever played number 2. The best mechanic was that I could play with my casual gamer wife and it still be fun for both of us.

Guild wars really has separated itself from other mmos in critical ways that are likely not apparent to most.

Having the areas be brighter and happier when you complete them is a nice touch too.

Will it play on Linux?

That’s the big question I’m asking for all remakes.

Just to be a pedant, I know you meant MW not mW.

I’m happy for them to waste 10mW but paper straws vs 10MW of bs… well I think we know what we prefer.

I thought that. I thought I would read just a couple… those were funny, I’ll read a couple more. Then I ended up reading the whole thing.

If you look at kill count… our spicy Bois have knocked out a lot of aircraft. So what if they were already on the ground.

I feel as though I should have known about this. Thanks for sharing with background.

Thanks PugJesus as always!

Neat! Today I learnt…

Why is this a shit post? This is a quality post!

The white and yellow corn is the sweetest and in my opinion the best of the conmon corn types.

The fog of war is extra thick on this one.

In my opinion, What do we know with 90% certainty? A F15 was downed and one of two rescue missions attempted.

50%? A second rescue op was conducted

0.1%? How many people on each side were killed in this series of events.

In the ukraine conflict people wait for video or sat proof. We’re getting very little actual proof from either side. It’s a mess!

Highly recommend this French film to those curious. Thanks for reminding me if it.

Yes. But remember if you hump your wagon in to a road, it will likely get humped from behind by the next wagon when you least expect it.

Be careful humping.

Nerd time. Hump yards or hump shunting is when they push a rail wagon down a hill and use gravity to push it.

Then there are a bunch of switches to go through to make it go into a particular road.

It then runs into whatever wagon was already there (and automatically couples together).

This impact is very bad for wagon mounted equipment and sensitive cargo.

I hate hump shunting. So I agree with this post. DO NOT HUMP.

The context of this rebate is the tax is designed to pay for roads. These companies have to split their diesel use between vehicles that use roads and those that do not (e.g. mine trucks).

So they managed to get someone in government many years ago to say “why yes, you don’t use roads so you don’t need to pay the roads tax on fuel”.

Considering how profitable these companies are … well.

Happy to be corrected in this background if someone knows better.
