@abhimanyuaryan Just buy an oldtimer.

@freemo Heh, the only reason for people here to own a creditcard is to buy stuff internationally until PayPal entered the scene.
Locally, everybody uses debit cards.

@freemo Not only that. I've read horror tales from an American buddy of mine back then... if you buy stuff not 'on credit', so always in full every time, your credit score won't go up as swimmingly as when you buy 'on credit' and go 'pay back the debts' nicely.

I mean, wouldn't it be a lot better that you didn't create debts in the first place? But if you want to be able to buy a house or whatnot... you should have had debts in the first place? In other words, having a history of paying things nicely on time needs debts of some kind to pay.

Please tell me that ain't so or that it's at least improved now since it's been a while ago he told me about that.

@abhimanyuaryan I don't live in the USA either and there's plenty of alternatives around here if I want to bother to search. The next TV I'll get (if my old ones ever break down) will probably be non-smart, as the 'smart' features are always broken after a while. We all need settop boxes anyway, so might as well make that settop box smart and the TV being good at just being a TV. Unless it's too expensive, then it'll just be smart again if that's cheaper to replace. Yeah, I don't get it either. *shrug*

@SEEK Unless you have eye-tracking installed and can input commands with your eye movements!

@abhimanyuaryan Well... what about not buying off Amazon then? That's the last company I'd want to hand my money off to unless there's absolutely no alternative.

@sgryphon Aha! Thanks! Fun stuff. :)

@freemo Nifty. I've got smoked salmon slices in the fridge, I intend to eat it with nice freshly baked breadrolls tomorrow.

@freemo Mm, I might prefer turn-based personally.

@freemo Maybe they sell a shitton of flippers? (in multiples of 8)

@Shamar A month? You're generous!

@rlamacraft I would totally have expected passengers to be kinda weighted. I mean.. weight is an important factor in a plane after all.

@skells I think it's humanity's.

@ceejbot On the upside, you could argue that he's extorting the bandits out of their monies.

(Of course, that means the bandits would just go around robbing people again..)

@extinct@redroo.ml Heh, that's pretty silly. Is this Guild Wars 2's adventure area or so? I never really got far enough in there.

@kura Oh, taking it slowly is fine. That's perfectly acceptable. ;)

@nilaky So this is actually a stubtoot?

@kura Will you?

@2ck It probably depends on the country. Here I almost never hear of Zoom, it's MS Teams all the way.

@sgryphon Heh, cool. What did the (worn) LOTR mat look like?

And what's the number in the center of that die? Or is it an ampersand?
