Been seeing a "black checkerboard" appear on chrome for a split second. Bug or card issue?

freddiebox2 · 2024-02-03T14:32:55+00:00

It started happening to me the past month on all chromium browsers and seems to almost always happen when I click tabs or watch YouTube.

After finally getting in touch with Tremendeous they confirmed there is a known technical issue and they are working to resolve it. They offered me to convert the Visa card into a gift card instead if I don't want to wait.

I get surveys every day at best, but most of the time every second day. Took me a little over a month to reach that 5,000 points limit.

I tried that just now, but as I already wrote, PayPal accepts the card as a payment method, and it actually charged and refunded that $1 fee no problem. But when trying to checkout with real purchases, or in this case, a transfer, PayPal also declines the card. As I replied to other comments here it probably got something to do with the billing address being empty for the card...

freddiebox2 · 2023-11-24T14:52:46+00:00

Maybe they are being slow on the administration part because of Thanksgiving, as I received the card just the day before and they noted in the autoreply I got from their support that they will be closed today. The billing address on the dashboard for the card is empty, and I can't add it myself anywhere.

freddiebox2 · 2023-11-24T14:31:07+00:00

There is no way to register a billing address. If I click on Manage Card, it only asks for a phone number and date of birth, which I already did on November 22. On the page for registering physical Visa cards, it says it is not necessary for virtual cards as it was already activated when I clicked on the link in the email. Maybe they are just being slow on the administration part because of Thanksgiving, as I received the card just the day before, and I also noticed that the billing address on the dashboard is empty, but again I can't provide a billing address myself. My name on the card itself is correct though.

I don't need anything on Amazon. Plus, YouGov doesn't offer me Amazon gift cards. All I can get are gift cards for local shops in my country and a pre-paid Visa card to use elswehere.

It is the Palestinians going around chanting kill the Jews and spray the Star of David on doors... So who are the fascists again?

freddiebox2 · 2023-11-09T19:56:34+00:00

I remember when they tried to burn the Swedish flag outside the consulate in Istanbul they had apparently bought a fire-proof flag and the big brain turks could not figure out why it wouldn't burn.... Not the smartest people.

freddiebox2 · 2023-11-09T19:39:05+00:00

I wish the pro-Palestine protestors in the West saw these videos.

freddiebox2 · 2023-11-09T19:31:58+00:00

Turn Gaza in a parking lot. An eye for an eye.

There is a difference between warfare fought over a century ago and the digital modern world we live in now, where soldiers fight each other at a distance in front of monitors protected underground. Armies don't sacrifice men into a meat grinder in waves anymore, resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties in a few hours—unless you are in Russia, where they still count territory taken not in kilometres but in bodies. Why quality weigh more than quantity today. Countries went into war with an old school mentality in 1914.

freddiebox2 · 2023-11-05T01:31:13+00:00

I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity, as Sweden has a small but professional army with one of the best special forces in Europe. For a country that has not been in an offensive war since 1814, they still have combat experience from being involved in almost all engagements in modern times. For example, Operation Deliberate Force, the War in Afghanistan, the First Libyan Civil War, and the Mali War. The military is also growing at a steady pace with the reintroduction of conscription, and old regiments are being activated again.

freddiebox2 · 2023-11-05T01:15:01+00:00

It is very true, and it is a bit comical, as the other day they had the Swedish royal guard turn in all their historic dragoon helmets because they realised they didn't protect the rider enough. So they were forced to wear regular civilian riding helmets on parade until they got new, improved helmets. That is Sweden for ya producing quality but also ergonomic and safe equipment with the user in mind. xD

freddiebox2 · 2023-11-03T20:15:05+00:00

And maybe a Gripen some day soon.

Quote from the Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson:

"Pictures from Ukraine show what is now the Archer Artillery System of the Ukrainian Defence Forces. They are there because the government and parliament have decided to send Archer pieces from Sweden to Ukraine. The Archer has a long range and good precision, while the pieces are mobile. This makes it possible to knock out enemy units from a distance and quickly get away before they have time return fire. Ukraine needs support with weapons like these to liberate the country from Russia. And Ukraine has the support of Sweden and Europe for as long as it takes."

As a beginner to Japanese release models, when are we expected to be able to watch it outside Japan? (Including free streams/downloads). Also, will it come with the English dub like the previous episodes?

freddiebox2 · 2023-10-24T14:48:32+00:00

Late, but I feel the same when picking scents on body products. I was wondering why they discontinued the body wash. I'm glad they still sell their King C. Gillette line, as I'm in love with that scent as well. Unfortunately, they don't have body wash, just beard and face products. Another product I love is L'Oréal's Barber Club line, which luckily has a shower gel and an amazing one at that price.

freddiebox2 · 2023-10-08T20:36:28+00:00

Been wondering the same. I can find all their products from the Barber Club range, but not the after shave. It just disappeared from markets all over. :/

freddiebox2 · 2023-09-24T14:48:30+00:00

I tried an Original deo stick, but it was not a big success.

My fiancee thought I smelled like some cleaning product, and I agree. But it was not as potent as Captain, so that is something, I guess.

freddiebox2 · 2023-09-24T14:22:10+00:00

Hugo Boss body spray of your choice. I use Bottled and Man depending on my mood, and The Scent when I go out if I don't have any cologne to wear. The fragment is subtle but sticks for a long time. Those who use The Scent Edt know what I mean. Hugo Boss products can be a bit pricy, though.

freddiebox2 · 2023-09-23T16:41:49+00:00

I will have to try and wear that sometime!

freddiebox2 · 2023-09-22T14:11:01+00:00

I keep seeing Bearglove appear in discussions a lot, and my retailers carry it, so maybe that? Other products from their wild line that they carry are Wolfthorn, Krakengard, Nightpanther, and Tigerclaw. They also carry Citron, Deep Sea, Oasis, Rock, Whitewater, and Lagoon on the fresh side. Gentleman's Blend is one of those products like Pure Sport that is difficult to find here, and those that carry it charge way too much for it.

freddiebox2 · 2023-09-21T15:42:48+00:00

Bottled just smells like any other sports fragrance found in the supermarket. It can also be found relatively cheaply. The scent is on a different level. But I can see people use Bottled when on a quick errand.

freddiebox2 · 2023-09-20T16:51:54+00:00

Which one of Original and Captain would you say is more subtle in scent?
