I’m not sure what your point is?

Sex was used as a means of social control. By making premarital sex taboo and shameful, it forces people who want to have sex to get married.

Marriage historically was a convention controlled by the church. You could largely only get married with the approval of the church or temple, which meant they could control who you were having babies with, creating castes.

Also because sex is fun, it’s a reason to abide all the other bullshit we’d be like “naw, not doing that” over.

Well, they want a second one for the helicopter, because that’s loud and it annoys them with their coming and goings

you’ve not had the dubious distinction of talking to a Young Earth Creationist, have you?

They think dinosaur bones are planted by satan specifically to tempt and cause doubt. They also think the earth is merely a few thousand years old.

You’re not providing your bank credentials directly to the third-party, either. They use OAuth-like systems to log you in, typically. I’m not familiar with Ozow, specifically, but from what I can tell about their company, they appear to be doing mostly the same things as Plaid.

Plaid or Ozow is the third party. You’re using their system, which they control, to provide your credentials.

You’re trusting that a) they’re not malicious and b) they have their shit together and c) even though they do have their shit together someone doesn’t find a random exploit anyhow.

As for the first. yeah. that’s a problem. At that point it really doesn’t matter, does it? why would you trust Ozow or anyone else in that sort of environment with your banking credentials? or even the bank with your money?

You do realize that if the bank authorizes a transfer, that you did not… it’s wire fraud and they’re obligated to refund that cash, regardless if they recoup the cash or not.

Their fuck up, their loss.

On the other hand, if you give your credentials to a 3rd party, that’s against the ToS none of us actually read, and if something happens to your account; they’re going to deem it as your fuck up.

As for whatever technobabble Plaid wants to use, even if they’re insured… you’re not, unless you can prove in court that they were the source of the breach. Their lawyers are probably better than yours.

You shouldn’t trust Plaid either.

Especially if all they’re doing is looking for the routing and account number. Because that’s just as easy to give.

If you’d like, I can show you. Just uh, need you to sign a waiver saying you authorize this little demonstration and accept all risks.

Also, gonna need your login credentials…

That’s what wire transfers are for.

There should be no need for you to give them your credentials. Also, be aware that if you do give a third party credentials, and you get hacked, your banks going to blame you for being stupid.

Because it is stupid.

How stupid is it? Not even the bank support staff will ask for your credentials.

Those are huge drumsticks, though. Compare them to the size of the salsa/queso jars.

I wouldn’t be able to eat 2, never mind three.

Yeah. So for a watch party, people are going to be hitting the finger food, right? Grazing is how people eat at these kinds of things.

Keep in mind recommended serving size would be 4-6 ounces- about one drumstick; but again, it’s kinda hard to graze a drumstick. That’s full on entree material. Two, if they’re small (these look large.)

I’d suggest something like buffalo wings, set out in a crock pot or slow cooker, so they’re ready to be grazed on their terms. (If you do go for drumsticks, well, they’re gonna have to be kept warm. If you don’t have something like a giant slow cooker, or a catering warming pan, that means the oven, which means they’re liable to be over looked.)

For DnD night I’ll usually make stuff that’s good for leftovers.

Speaking of… I need to go get stuff for chili.

That’s…. A lot of chicken. Even for four peeps.

I’m sorry you went to all that trouble, though.

I’d drop a few recipes for what to do with it… but uhm, I hope that chicken is long gone by now, heh.

Side note, you need better friends! Pro wrestling isn’t my jam, at least I’d hang out. Maybe shout insults at the heel or something.

Probably easier to just not invite shit-sharing assholes.

Ups used to not do pickups at residential places ever. If you wanted to ship something you’d have to take it to their service center.

The only people that get regular pickups were places that had enough volume going out to justify swinging by on a schedule.

Just for the record UPS is not mail- that’s USPS- they’re a parcel and freight delivery service. UPS doesn’t go to every address every day (‘Cept Sundays,) the same way the mailman does.

For residential… yeah, UPS definitely going to be charging since that’s a random and probably out-of-the-way stop. USPS will take postage-paid parcels/letters at the mailbox since they’re there.

I dunno? Why torture yourself running a marathon, even?

At that point it’s probably to painful to be weird.

It’s from chaffing on the shirt. (Marathon bros. Use nipple gel. It’s okay. No one is gonna judge.)

And then there’s this guy, who just logs in as root:
