Oooooh. Yeah. I still remember when the US wasn't friendly with Russia. I still haven't adjusted.

It can be, if they're fairly close in time and total just past 10k.

Every bank has their own algorithm and they try to ride the line between catching criminals and not having too many false positives.

Yes. Phones are extremely expensive and hard to make. Much better to retrieve the phone and clean it.

Plus, if you do that you can ALSO get a new phone in parallel. Nothing says you can't do both. Otherwise you're without a phone for a long time, which is undesirable.

Not even that close. They'll flag any recurring fairly large transactions under 10k.

Aven 3% up to 100k home equity credit card (www.aven.com)
 

I feel like I'm missing something with this card. I currently use a 2% cash back card, so 3% seems like a simple upgrade. I pay my card off every month without fail, and have for years. This card would use my house as collateral, which poses additional risk if I default.

Has anyone else looked into this or gotten one? Is there some catch I'm missing? I can't figure out how they're making money on this.

Franken-PC with a compact dell (lemmy.world)
 

I have a Precision 3260 Compact (https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/workstations-isv-certified/precision-3260-compact-workstation/spd/precision-3260-workstation/s106dpt3260us_vp) with no standalone GPU. I also have an aging gaming desktop with a GTX 1070 and an i5 inside. I am trying to figure out a way to get the 1070 to work inside the Precision and it's driving me nuts.

The Precision doesn't have a standard micro-ATX motherboard, so I can't simply mount it in my larger case. Even if I could, the pcie slot is much shorter than the standard. On top of that, the GPU is longer than the entire case.

I'm willing to get creative, but I'm out of ideas.

Reverse Osmosis water system for sink and fridge (lemmy.world)
 

Our town's water keeps failing to meet DEP standards, so I'm investing in a filtration system for our drinking water. What I think I'm looking for is:

  • Has a tank, since there are 5 of us
  • Filters out lead, PFAS, PFOA, etc. (Which is why I'm leaning towards RO)
  • Good warranty and customer service, for when something inevitably goes wrong
  • Remineralization (picky about water taste)
  • UV (maybe?)

Does anyone have recommendations for a quality brand, or one that they've had for years that they like? I'm not sure where to even start.

What are these wires? (lemmynsfw.com)

I bought a house a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen.

I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There's a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!)

I'm not sure about the other ones. They don't look electric, as I'd expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house.

There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven't figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I'm not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it's speakers, why would there be so many wires?

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.

exercise for us? (lemmy.world)
 

Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.

Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?

Meme or reality? (lemmy.world)
 

I know it was a thing on reddit, but how does everyone feel about peeing on your compost? Apparently it really helps, but I've never brought myself to do it.

Has anyone created their own instance and modified it? How about the same for the Android client? There are some features I'm desperately missing and I'm not against DIY.
