That card lock isn’t to keep someone else from stealing your card, it’s to make you take it. As long as the machine will only do what you’ve asked after you take your card, the bank isn’t responsible for your card at all.

I’ve seen machines that still hold the card so it can’t be removed (even though it remains visible), and will only release the card before completing whatever transaction you’ve asked it to do. Like, you have to take the card before it’ll tell you your balance or give you cash or whatever. This is 100% a “we’re not taking responsibility for you leaving your card in the machine” thing.

I’d imagine that machine sewing is quite useful in “making the thing,” but hand sewing is more fun for “doing the stitch”. And there can be some stitches on a “thing” that require hand sewing even if most of it is machine made, so it’s not a bad idea to know some different hand stitch techniques.

Which is an admin ban, not (just) a mod ban.

Definitely not a technocult.

Could be incentive to murder content creators.

Those actually work incredibly well for their intended purpose.

Don’t write down your crimes.

It’s not even a real issue. The number of trans athletes is extremely small, and none of them are out there setting crazy records.

Bad OCR of the long s.

Goddamn it, I talk to the self checkout, and I don’t have any grandchildren that I know of.
