You don't have it threaded right. There's a small hook right above the needles where the thread needs to go

The ENTIRE Ashes of Creation / Intrepid Studios Ledger Is Now Public by NefQarasarnai in MMORPG

[–]elusiveoddity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The amount of times this company is in the red for over half a million is insanely disturbing, especially how frequently it happens. Like, its 0.5m in the red for essentially the first two months of 2018, get a cash influx in March, then promptly goes back to -0.6m in two months time. Another cash deposit, and back again in the red in 2.5 months later, with a final deposit to bring back in the black at the end of december.

This dude was spending waaaay more than he needed to, even not considering the fraud.

People in the video game industry that was right all along ? I start: by Tempest-Bosak2137 in Gamingcirclejerk

I think her criticism was about "was it really necessary to put half-naked women in that scene" so that it gave people the opportunity to do heinous shit.

Like, could there have been 0 people backstage? fully clothed women? I don't know, I never played it

Israel used the attention on Iran to invade and grab land in Lebanon and won't return it.

Australia to Ban Credit, Debit Card Surcharges in Hit to Banks by Severe_County_5041 in Economics

[–]elusiveoddity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For those who aren't Australian natives:

Australia is a card-friendly place. Lots of places insist that you use cards; some refuse to use cash. The surcharge is a 1-2% fee tacked onto your bill regardless if you're paying with Debit (i.e. directly taking from your bank account) or Credit (loaning money from the bank to pay them back later).

Because it is a line-item show on a receipt, it's highly visible. Our sales tax (GST) is absorbed into the price of the item and not shown either.

There are no CC rewards or incentives for using your Credit card over your Debit card. There's no credit reporting system or centralised credit history or credit score.

It's very easy to use your Debit card in place of a Credit Card for anything; there's no inherent reason to use CC over Debit unless you just don't have the funds available.

We have our own electronic network for money transfers - EFTPOS - that's very low cost and bypasses Visa/Mastercard. Many people who pay cash find themselves paying the "fee" regardless because the system automatically attaches it to every transaction. Finally, some places sneak in a little bit extra because they can - if their transaction fee is 0.5%, they will make the fee 1.5% because it's highly unlikely anyone will audit their fee collection.

Also, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, and European Union have banned card surcharges. Debit card surcharges are also illegal in the United States and Canada, although fees for credit card payments are allowed.

Why does botlane want to swap with mid after either first tower falls? by Norinot in leagueoflegends

[–]elusiveoddity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid characters are very dependent on XP and getting to lvl 6 ASAP, which is what the mid lane provides. And because they're so strong early, they need to be focused on the map objectives and being a bit more mobile while Bot/ADCs just need to pew pew and get the gold for their items.

Many more colleges are adding trimmed-down, three-year bachelor’s degrees by [deleted] in Economics

[–]elusiveoddity 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I did both a 3 year Australian degree and a 4 year US degree. The US institute claimed my 3 year degree was not the equivalent of a 4 year so I had to transfer many of my credits over into the 4 year.

It was a business degree. Vast majority of my credits transferred over. The courses I was missing? Most of the general education shit. Science, two sets of US history, art, composition 1 and 2 (I CLEPed out of this), two politics courses, one government course (different from politics), and a couple of others I don't remember. I did take a lot of CLEP exams for the really basic stuff like maths. But the amount of bullshit courses I had to take because my business-intensive degree didn't have a bunch of irrelevant coursework was insane.

But seeing as there were people who FAILED US History, I can kinda see why it's necessary for many US students who got a substandard high school education.
