I don’t know big American banks to be very consumer friendly, and

There is currently no fee or charge on the transaction to users.[1] Instead, participating banking institutions are charged a fee per transaction.[4]

This part tells me that your individual bank probably isn’t a huge fan of it, and there’s no guarantee that it won’t change in the future. And finally,

The Zelle service has received negative publicity due to fraud incidents where bank customers’ accounts were compromised through social engineering tactics. In these cases, fraudsters set up Zelle accounts in the victims’ names and used them to transfer funds out of the victims’ accounts, often leaving the victims with limited practical or legal options for recovery.

If there is a problem with the service, I’m not sure how helpful Zelle would be in fixing it.

I’m not sure there are any TV manufacturers that won’t try to fill your screen with ads and track what you’re watching, you just need to make sure your TV can’t access the internet.

Zelle (/zɛl/) is an American digital payments network run by a private financial services company owned by Bank of America, Truist, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC Bank, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.

I don’t know how much of an improvement that would really be in the long-term

Car owners in Southern California are most likely to have the device installed due to its popularity among car dealers in the region, but the UCSD researchers warn that they’ve found the devices installed in vehicles across the US and even in other countries.

The part I was most interested in. I thought California was supposed to have slightly better privacy laws, but I guess it really doesn’t mean much.

I didn’t know Tulsi Gabbard even had a brother, so I wasn’t about to start suspecting him of anything

All I can think to this kind of thing is: if you’re spending so much time staring at the wallpaper, what’s the rest of your computer for?

I personally try to leave as little of the wallpaper visible as possible, but I guess I’m the weird one.

they have it set up so it will use tools like Me:

What an unfortunate formatting error you’ve made. Add an extra line break after your quote blocks to separate them.

For that matter, let each comment have an edit history so we can see what you’ve changed. Usually it’ll just be a spelling/formatting mistake, but the people deserve to know!

We launched attacks on Iran to distract from the Epstein files, leading to the closure of the strait of Hormuz and dwindling oil reserves around the world. It was only like 3 months ago, I’m surprised you didn’t hear about this

To be fair, that’s kind of a dumb name for a city. New York should be the only state getting away with that kind of naming convention.

If the US was covering up or hiding these things, they’d at least be comparable. The most relevant comparison would probably be the epstein files, which everyone is already criticizing them for.

and also to trick him once

Stop gendering the computer.

As always, that depends on the state. Some states actually have mandatory safety/emissions testing every year.

“Is that why she’s an only child? Because having sex with your wife is like having sex with half your daughter?”

It’s a weird line of reasoning that doesn’t actually make any sense.

No wait, where are the tungsten cube vending machines?

I’m only going to scroll so far through your post history and I didn’t see your explanation, so sorry for making you repeat yourself. That said, I think solo is the wrong word for it if they’re explicitly there so you aren’t alone. Just say you’re on a trip, there’s no shame in that.

You can emphasize that you’re on your first trip without your parents, that’s still a pretty big step towards independence, but I’m going to fixate a little too hard on it being a solo trip you’re taking with friends.

I don’t know, is it really a solo trip if you’re with 2 other people? Something isn’t adding up here. What does solo even mean when there are 2 others hanging around?

And if I already have this many questions, then who knows? Why can’t those two guys be your parents? Maybe you aren’t on a solo trip at all, you’re on a trip with two other guys.

DiMarchi and Tschöp’s pioneering work on the study of GLP-1 hormones contributed to the foundation for popular weight-management drugs sold under name brands like Zepbound and Wegovy. They discovered that the weight-loss effects from therapeutics containing the GLP-1 hormone activity could be enhanced by including two other hormone activities: glucagon and GIP.

Not this time, right now we’re talking about other drugs that can be used for weight loss.

Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name.

Did you mean: Speeding. No one thinks big of you.?

I think you wanted that second period.

Those aren’t e-bikes by any legal definition, they just look like e-bikes because they have some technically functional pedals.

E-bikes are categorized into three primary groups based on factors such as motor power, availability of pedal and/or throttle assist and maximum speeds. Familiarizing yourself with the e-bike class allows you to anticipate its performance characteristics. Depending on the class, certain areas may permit riding a Class 1 e-bike while prohibiting the use of a Class 3 e-bike for instance. These regulations vary across states with many states having their own e-bike classifications or lack thereof. California, for example, has legislation specifying three e-bike classes. There are generally accepted definitions for e-bike classes, and we provide an overview of these standard classifications below.

Class 1

A Class 1 e-bike, also known as a pedelec, relies on pedaling to propel forward. It features pedal assist but lacks throttle assist, limiting its speed to a maximum of 20 miles per hour. In most cases, Class 1 e-bikes are permitted in the same areas as traditional bicycles such as bike paths and bike lanes. However, the specific regulations governing their usage depend on local government ordinances.

Class 2

Class 2 e-bikes offer both pedal assist and throttle assist, allowing them to move forward even without pedaling. Generally, Class 2 e-bikes are not designed to exceed 20 mph. Many jurisdictions allow the use of Class 2 e-bikes on conventional bike paths and lanes.

Class 3

Class 3 e-bikes are slightly faster, reaching speeds of up to 28 mph. They often come equipped with a speedometer, which may be required in certain states like California. Class 3 e-bikes are typically permitted on roads and designated bike-only shoulder lanes. However, due to their higher power output, they are generally not allowed on standard bike lanes, paths or trails.
