  1. Some ATM's do get to charge you for balances...here's an example from Europe. It manages to nick a fee everytime, if you aren't watching.
  2. I'm really not surprised. A co-worker had his security clearance revoked because of a $50,000 loan that he was behind on paying. Any person with a clearance is viewed as a security risk if they can be compromised due to financial difficulties, and people with a history of missed payments or bankruptcy are routinely denied a clearance.
  3. He can appeal without the bond, however his assets are no longer shielded from the judgement. It was never “necessary” to post the bond, it just prevents the State of New York (in the form of the NY DA) from starting to seize bank accounts and properties. The bond assures the Court that the judgement can be executed during the term of the appeal, and prevents the defendant from moving or hiding assets. In the case of an appeal failing, the bond is paid to the winning party as the judgement.
  4. Currently stating that 30 underwriters were approached and all declined to underwrite his ($464,000,000…includes 10 bills for Eric and DonJ) bond. Signed statement from Trumps insurance broker says securing a bond for the full amount “is a practical impossibility.” They’re down to arguing a bind isn’t necessary due to he value of Trump’s properties… I thought he said he had the cash, eh?
  5. Not entirely…pretty solid, but misses a few nuances. 1) The pro-2A crowd (gun wankers) provides a solid 10% base for the Republicans (with another qp% or so available, depending on news stories, ammo shortages, etc). 2) Stack on top of that the rabid America Now crowd (the new Reich Wing), which is comprised of the open racists, the replacement theory adherents, and the elderly scared of a majority minority U.S.A. Note there is a significant overlap between groups 1 and 2. 3) Add the hardcore anti-abortion/anti-birth control crowd (again, overlap in the anti-birth control and replacement theory crowds) and you reach around 35-40% of the electorate. The Democrats have a similar series of groups that comprise their 35-40%, hence the fight over the “independents” 20-30%.
  6. Ticket bought for the LV Match…picked the worst seat available since I can’t attend. Wonder if they’ve considered offering signed by LV physical tickets for purchasers, for an additional fee/revenue for LV?

  8. Perhaps a complex hobby, like watch repair. Sounds nuts, but its like playing with cars on a small (and cheaper) scale. Very much a form of meditation in it's own way. This lad seems to enjoy it.
  9. Roughly 85 linear cm of french fries in that "serving"...with 12% sales tax, that's $8.95 Canadian...or about £5.17...call it 6.1 pence per cm of fry. At least they look done.
  10. So Partick hold the patate chaude through the draw with Queen's Park, the loss to Raith and finally dump the hot mess onto Morton. Now it's Morton's turn to try to gift it back to the Pars! Current Hot Potato Table Morton 8 Ayr 6 Dunfermline and Partick 4 Airdrie, Arbroath and Queen’s Park 2 Dundee United, ICT and Raith 0
  11. I doubt either side will win the league with more than a game to spare, if that. The average points required over the period since we went to 3 point for a win is 74, which would then require 17 out of 21 to be "higher than most seasons", isn't going to happen. If I had to guess, 4 wins, 2 draws and a loss (14 points) would probably win this league, as the final few games will feature plenty of desperate sides. failing that, it'll be one of us going 5-1-1.
  12. Well, with Arbroath now needing at least a point more per match than ICT to even catch them, without considering GD, I think we can give them 10th...but, this league, eh? Queen's Park and Dunfermline, on the back of this weekends performances, should be safe, so that's ICT as the obvious candidate now for ninth, but...this league... Regardless, the League One threesome of the Accies, Alloa and Montrose (right now) aren't exactly fearsome.
  13. On recent evidence, Queen’s and the Pars are safe from ninth…looks very much a stick on for ICT. Won’t lie, disappointed in the point, happy it wasn’t zero. DU still have to play Queen’s again, and it won’t be easy.
  14. Arbroath 2 - 3 Partick Thistle Ayr 1 - 2 Queen's Park Dundee United 4 - 0 ICT Morton 2 - 2 Dunfermline
  15. Next Saturdays Week 28 is a shortened card, with just four matches as Raith rest and Airdrie have to prepare Welsh Rarebit on Sunday. Arbroath v Partick Thistle Ayr v Queen's Park Dundee United v ICT Morton v Dunfermline
  16. OK, lads...the idea is to predict BETTER than me, not the same as or (when possible) worse! Another middling week...only two getting a single point from the Friday night tilt that should have all got right, @weigh cider wins with a robust 5 points... In first, @mcjameos. staggers to 89 points, doing his best DU impression. In second, @williebraveheart sneaks a little closer still with 86 points, looking very Raith like. And in third, @Chapelhall chap bursts back out of the pack again with 84 points. Weekly high scorers: Week 1 - bagpuss w/9 Week 2 - Buddie Holly, Chapelhall Chap, DreamOakTree1 and weigh cider w/7 Week 3 - Wildrover w/7 Week 4 - jagfox w/11 Week 5 - Mr.Blue w/6 Week 6 - Buddie Holly w/5 Week 7 - cb_diamond, Richey Edwards and williebraveheart w/7 Week 8 - ++Ammo - Airdrie++ w/6 Week 9 - ++Ammo - Airdrie++, CityDave94 and Zanetti w/4 Week 10 - CityDave94 w/8 Week 11 - keyser_soze w/6 Week 12 - Rael Rover w/9 Week 13 - mcjameos w/6 Week 14 - Dysart, keyser_soze, mcjameos and Paisley Ton w/5 Week 15 - Wildrover w/6 Week 16 - AirdrieOnion, AndyDD, Mr November, Paisley Ton, weigh cider, Wildrover and williebraveheart w/4 Week 17 – Paisley Ton, Chapelhall chap and mcjameos w/5 Week 18 - ClydeTon, Mr.Blue, Paisley Ton, Rael Rover and williebraveheart w/6 Week 19 - keyser_soze w/4 Week 20 - AirdrieOnion w/7 Week 21 - Guyincognito w/9 Week 22 - Rael Rover w/5 Week 23 - Sheppy w/9 Week 24 - chris1883 w/7 Week 25 - Sheppy and Wildrover w/4 Week 26 - Artie and Rael Rover w/6 Week 27 - weigh cider w/5
  17. Queen’s are not the confused side from earlier this season. They are solid.
  18. The current results would likely put a bow on Arbroath’s relegation, as they’d be in the position of needing more than a point a match extra to catch up. Airdrie jumping to fourth worries me, as they have our number and the last thing we need is them incentivised playing for the playoff spot…although it cuts both ways with DU yet to play them the last time too.
  19. It’s been an entertaining half, with a lot of defending bodies thrown in front of balls preventing the keepers from being bothered. Just the one play that Ferrie needed to make,
