And storm troopers famously can’t hit the broad side of a barn, for that matter

This is an 80s kids movie. And 80s kids bands. Or more specifically, 80s teens stuff.

I was born in the 80s, and I think I watched this movie once but it was definitely less a part of my cultural upbringing than OG power rangers and Ace of Base, lol.

I know I’m outnumbered here, but I always hated the old Reddit interface. Is it better on desktop or something? I’m only really ever on mobile.

And it’s even better than you described. The one time token isn’t a new card number, it’s not a card number at all. It’s basically Apple saying “yep this is legit” to the other computer, and then the two banking systems do their money transfer on the back end.

Even if someone could intercept it and decrypt it, it would be completely useless because that’s just not a thing.

Pretty sure Google does basically the same thing. Never used it though.

As someone pretty high in both, I’d lose some empathy. Gets me me in trouble sometimes

Set up a philanthropic trust, invest it in a relatively safe mix of stocks and bonds, and set up distributions as a % of growth to a bunch of institutions I think are super important.

After buying a nicer house and paying off family debts and stuff of course.

Also Michigan and much of Indiana (not sure of Indianapolis and south of there). You get a little bit of it in western NY state too.

I grew up saying ‘pop,’ but have acquiesced to saying ‘soda’ once I moved outside of Michigan.

Very nice - is that a thunderbird pickup in the neck?
