Does being snarky make you feel better about yourself? I find it hilarious that someone who knows that staring at a bright blue-white screen is going to impact their sleep, continues to do so. It is even more amusing to think that they&#x27

No...Bucketing would be you buying 100gal of fuel through a broker for $5/gal and your broker in turn not buying your fuel until the price drops to, say, $4/gal. Thus they get to keep the $100 difference + their normal fees.

This isn't a credit card transcation, it was an ACH which almost every bank already confirms at send time (usually OTP SMS). In anycase, they're user not vendor initiated. Does AmEx call you if you buy a Ps4 or TV at Best Buy afte

So if I buy $1 in BTC and then come back to buy $10 in BTC I must be some sort of billionaire gambler. There's nothing out of the ordinary with making large transactions with a company once you trust them. That being said, now that I&#

I'll have to double check, but I believe we keep our mouse room at ~25ºC (+/- 5%). 31C for housing seems very high and probably well outside mean temperatures for native habitat

Fairly sure they've filtered out what might constitute "low importance" searched like terms such as 'weather'. Searches for the weather probably remain relatively stable and don't really tell us anything.

MegaBus around here has some pretty horrid customer service. Buses are frequently quite late (by several hours even), drivers then speed at 10-15MPH over the posted limit to try and make up time. The built in WiFi is generally either broke

Your 'How it Works' video doesn't really make clear that its two browsing panes. Also, just a personal quibble, I dislike people who use the "Or better" When they mean 'or newer' when referring to an OS.
