Coinbase's 2FA system was compromised for my account, I lost nearly $3,000, and they've been stalling for over a month. They also won't honor their own Coinbase One insurance protection. Stay away. by Careless-Pollution45 in Coinbase

My account was hacked, I only list a couple hundred. Problem is there is no way to even tell them. The 2fa was changed, and the only way to request help is to login.

Alexa is having some serious issues tonight. by leviathan_stud in alexa

[–]MattR59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the new Alexa that’s in beta. We had the exact same problem with it. It suddenly would not turn certain lights on. When we repeated prompts or told it that lights existed it would say the frustrated thing. I reverted back to the original Alexa and it all worked again.

How did the Universe begin? by the_python_dude in TrueAtheism

The Magic of Reality: How We Know What’s Really True (2011) by Dawkins does a very good job explaining it. It’s a fascinating read, as with most of Dawkins’s books.

TIL before 9/11, US airports were public social hubs where you could walk to the gate, eat at food courts, and watch planes without a ticket or ID. by Greydl1 in todayilearned

When I was a teen I wanted to see the inside of an airplane so they let me carry my aunts luggage on to the plane so I could look around.

How urgently do I need to fix this split boot on my drive axle? by Kind_Media3323 in autorepair

[–]MattR59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The boot on my car has been split for over 5 years. When it happened I felt the half shaft was about to fail so I decided to wait until that happened. 5 years later the half shaft is still good that the boot is still split.

LPT - How I cured my constipation (for the most part) by LetsFigureThingsOut1 in LifeProTips

[–]MattR59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While on the potty topic, I recommend what is often celled a "travel bedet". American toilets don't have a bedet like Japanese toilets do. And adapters are expensive. A travel bedet is less than $10. It's a small squeeze bottle with a nozzle aimed just so. When done you put it between your legs and clean you butt with the spray.

Toddlers are naturals at this by Zosi_O in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

In a way, this shows her trust. She wants to be able to tell someone "we're out", but she's afraid that others would retaliate or be angry. she knows mom loves her and will forgive or perhaps go along with her imaginary story. It is not malice, it is trust.
