Chipped cards are a lot more secure (approximately 7x) if you also require a PIN, which is how it's done everywhere else in the world. US banks and retailers didn't want to sink the money into becoming compliant when they could spend a fraction of the amount buying regulators and congressmen to keep delaying implementation of the standard. One argument frequently deployed by the financial services industry -- and I'm not joking -- is that Americans are too stupid to remember another 4-digit code. https://qz.com/717876/the-chip-card-transition-in-the-us-has-been-a-disaster/

Yes. That would be a "veggie with cheese."

Two double-doubles animal style protein style. Rather too much plant matter, but some allowances must be made for convenience.

Fingers crossed for Florida!

It's shit and getting shitter. If you enter "Test" and 123456 into their hack checker page, it tells you your data was compromised. Confidence inspiring!

She's not blonde by any chance?

Whaaaaat? Fuck!

You're a good man, Steve.

Back ribs.

My wife just hopped on to do her first live session and it was from somewhere that looked like a nightclub, complete with a DJ. The instructor of course had tits out to here and was a pretty decent stand-up (sit down?) comic to boot. It's all completely ridiculous, but this is America I guess and are you not entertained?

Sort of related ...

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark -- The Punishment of Luxury Lot of Kraftwerk in evidence, not that that's a bad thing.

Interesting design!
