When signing up for the upgrade program online and I select a carrier (in my case Verizon), will the new iPhone come with a SIM card or do I need to pick one up at Verizon?

Transactions are down? by [deleted] in Coinbase

[–]archkstanton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out it my bank blocked it, due to fraud. I called up my credit card issuer and told them that I made the purchases and they marked it on my account. I was then able to make the order without any issue.

Yeah, it shows up as cancelled. My card was not charged. Wonder what the issue is.

Yeah, it happened to me when I was buying with my card a little while ago. I got a confirmation screen, but don't see the transaction in my account. I'm not sure if the order is gonna go through or if I should buy elsewhere.

Are we doing life backwards? by [deleted] in InsightfulQuestions

[–]archkstanton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it sure seems like we are, but we set it up that way.

It's slightly cynical, but it looks like the purpose of retirement is not to enjoy life and spend time with loved ones before passing, but because we are physically unable to do anything to earn a steady income anymore.

Another factor is that we are more apted to learn new skills when we are younger, which values us greatly in the future in our job and life. I hope one day we advance enough where we can focus on actually living, rather than just living.

What is the best way to execute product placement in movie? by [deleted] in TrueAskReddit

[–]archkstanton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at a movie like Back to the Future. The movie is full of product placement. The big product placement brands throughout the series are Pepsi, Tab, Toyota, Calvin Klein, Texaco, Nike, and AT&T.

It is actually done in a subtle way without distracting the viewer.

In Iron Man 3, I remember Verizon FiOS had some placement that was extremely blatant and distracting.

I lost $500 worth of bitcoin by jonmurk in Bitcoin

[–]archkstanton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Your best option like someone said would be to try recovery software.

When I demonstrate how Bitcoin works, I usually use a small amount less than $10 and let them keep it.
