I've had exactly one fraud alert (I'm probably pretty lucky), and it was someone buying a shit ton of World of Warcraft stuff. Also a plane ticket, but it was all caught in time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also a plane ticket, but it was all caught in time. I have this pretty good extension (from my credit card company) that makes a new and different credit card number for every different web site that is used when making a purchase. And then I have Dashlane, which stores all the different passwords to different websites. So when I make a purchase, I first have to log in to Dashlane (the only password I can actually remember, yet it's long and varied), then log into the credit card company after picking up that password from Dashlane, then the extension generates the site specific credit card number. All this, and Significant Eater is still able to buy stuff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony Bonner Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 they double the points on your purchases if you use their one time cc#? That's a pretty good deal especially on material purchases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joethefoodie Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Does this belong here? Reasons to Be Happy? Depressing Stuff? Hmmm... You can keep your sous vide. And neither David Chang nor Guy Fieri nor Andrew Zimmern has ever cooked like this (at least, I don't think). Quote 3 Visitors Banned From Yellowstone After Cooking Chickens in Hot Spring Mr. Romriell, an ophthalmologist in Idaho Falls, Idaho, said in an interview on Tuesday that he hadn’t been aware that he was doing anything wrong. He took monthly camping trips as a scout master in Idaho for several years, he said, and each time, his troop tried creative ways of cooking their meals — something Mr. Romriell described as “how to not rough it while roughing it.” They made milkshakes out of raspberry or huckleberry fruit they found while hiking, he said, or tied hot dogs to a rope and put them into hot springs to boil while they swam nearby. If you need your eyes examined, find someone else! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately he hasn’t their password. The amazing thing is that his kids had never been allowed access to computers until home schooling began in April. Teach them to read and give them a computer... When my brother was ~6, he went to the store with one of my mom's blank cheques and tried to buy a GI Joe with it. He may have even scribbled in all the right places. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stone Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 My wife is on the phone with a consultant discussing a trip to Disney World next October. She’s now describing the food the Devil eats and what movies he likes. I’m pretty sure when I was a kid, my parents just made a hotel reservation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
prasantrin Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 My coworker went to Disney World with his wife, children, and mother. All the adults ended up with food poisoning from the food at one of the restaurants. So maybe discussing food preferences isn't a bad thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I don't think it would help much if said, "my preference is, not to get food poisoning." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
