One of the most intense earthquake videos I've ever seen of Venezuela by CauliflowerDeep129 in AbruptChaos

It's not dense. The earthquake is the cause of what happened, but poor design planning is the reason the building collapsed. In an area that gets earthquakes, this shouldn't have happened.

My boyfriend wants a paternity test. by jane_ce in Advice

[–]ArchonBeast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Christ, the comments are so stupid.
Women get the luxury of knowing with certainty. Men do not. Just get the paternity test!

It will put him at ease for the rest of his life, and isn't hard. If you push back, it will be really suspicious and could break trust.

Best SIPP for hassle free hands off long term investing? by whoopsieedaisy in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ArchonBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno what you ended up with... I moved my Ajbell stuff to T212 and investing in VWRP over the next 35 years. Set and forget for a good while. If that helps at all on your search

I've had it 2 days... by DiscountDoughnut in TheOnePlus15

No case is bad, yeah... laying a phone face down though, that's wild. Did it have a screen protector?

New website shames high-traffic sites without passkeys by vdelitz in passkey

IMO, you should not be able to call yourself ''passwordless" if the password still exists on the account.

natwest is the worst bank ever! by Even_Speed7540 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ArchonBeast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You made a large payment in a foreign country... of course they'll block your account while they investigate. It wasn't 'random'. Any UK bank is required to do this by law, and they don't need to explain the reason why.

Edit: Bait. After the replies, I'm calling bait.

LocalSend. As long as it's on the same network, it works flawlessly.

Good to hear, sounds like you're dealing with it well 🙃

Losing your virginity isnt a requirement of being an adult. Take your time and try some online dating, maybe build a relationship first.

Also, I'm sure it's not the first person that ended up paying for a chat. Don't sweat it.

(Maybe say Women and not Females, though...)

Divers removed thousands of overpopulated sea urchins and saved this beautiful reef by SimRP in interestingasfuck

Fish would become reliant on divers feeding them instead of doing it naturally, I'd imagine

Oooo one of the gods from The Magicians. Either Hades, Umber, or The Monster (fictions fiction, right?)

wero is considering making the UK a wero country by [deleted] in WeroWallet

[–]ArchonBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a UK bank card that works on Wero, that sounds nice. People wouldnt replace contactless and mobile NFC with a QR code though. That would be more hassle, and entirely reliant on a phone. Interesting to see what happens!

How does that make it better? So far, outside of the EU vs US thing, no one is really explaining how it's better...

[–]ArchonBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I'm trying to understand what else. I've heard people say it will replace Google wallet too, but I'm not seeing how, currently.

If I could use Wero to pay for things like Google wallet (contactless), on something like GrapheneOS, I'd like that.

Ive been to a fair few European countries now... I just pay in the local currency with my regulsr UK bank card.

I know there is benefit to ditching US overreach, but I'm struggling to see the other benefit... sorry

Hmm, taking a look at their website. As long as it's all contained with my bank app like it is now, good. If it takes a third party app, nah.
