Spoiling the fun. You’re meant to say another story that it’s not.

Have you tried a grain free food? It might help.

Sounds like you need to just make sure you’re specifying the current government of Israel and their actions, rather than the state of Israel in general terms or as a overall concept.

Comments will not be removed for the following: Denouncing genocide. • Denouncing Israeli war crimes. • Criticizing Zionism as an ideology or political movement. • Referring to the current Israeli government as “criminal,” “expansionist,” or “far-right”.

I was thinking it would be about midday on 31st of December 1899.

Could they just try to make it so it actually works rather than telling me my wife doesn’t exist in my contacts list when I ask it to call her?

Then smile to yourself as the rest of the world grinds to a halt to protect you during the pandemic.

Retire in 2001 with a inflation linked final salary pension scheme.

Y2k was a non event because a lot of time, effort, and money was spent fixing it before the deadline.

The estimated cost of fixing the bug was between 300-850 billion dollars in 2000 - adjusted for inflation that’s about 0.5-1.5 trillion dollars

The estimated worldwide cost of fixing the Y2K bug, according to analysts: Cap Gemini America Inc. — $858 billion; Gartner Group Inc. — $600 billion; International Data Corp. — $300 billion.

🤷‍♂️ not a clue. Maybe English isn’t their first language and some kind of joke worked in their language?

English is mine and I still had to look it up.

It seems they’re asking if it’s medical grade silver.

Even if he does he’ll still have more money than most people earn in their whole life.

My brain kept trying to add it in :(

On a side note, I’m pretty sure the way that this site does the accept cookies thing is how whoever in the EU came up with the idea imagined it would be implemented.

I just don’t understand how they can work.

If you don’t use them for every transaction how do they stay synchronised with the bank’s records of how much you have in your account?

When the power is out and the bank can’t check their computer, what’s to stop someone turning up with a bank book that says they have £1 in it and saying that there’s more because they transferred it online before the power went out? Or, of course, the book saying they have more than they do because they took some out before power went out?

So you have to use them every time you use the bank, I’m assuming this also means that these accounts don’t allow you to do any kind of internet or telephone banking.

Presumably even there though they check the details from your book against the computer system, to not only check that the book is accurate and that the branch has enough cash on hand to fulfil your request? The computer system that has had no power for a week.

If productivity is going up wages should go up. However what has been happening is that the extra money has been being funneled into the pockets of the rich. I’ll bet you the board and senior management ain’t giving themselves inflation based pay rises.

That’s not how inflation works. Inflation going down means they just stay around 80 and in theory your wages gradually come up so 80 now feels like 40.
