    I’ve really ramped up my use of paying with my watch and phone over the last year or so.

    I’ve whittled my wallet down to a magnetic one with 3 cards that I stick on the back of my phone when I leave the house.

    I want my car key built into my phone too.

    I like empty pockets.

    I wasn’t aware of that. In fact it has been 27+ years since I read Battle Cry so my recollection of it is clouded by time. I actually bought my copy at a bookstore in Helsinki when I was there for a few days to decompress after several months straight in Yeltsin’s wild Western Siberian oil and gas extravaganza. I ought to reread it just reacquaint myself with the author’s historiography.

    I don't know the calculation , but remember in grade school talking about this. In an average class (say 30 people), the odds are pretty good (much over 50%) that two people will have the same birthday.

    For three people having the same birthday, I dont know. I would guess maybe 250.

    No surprise, but you have more than a quart or two of savy about the O&G industry and how it works.

    I agree. As my 15 year old would say, his face begs a swirly.

    Luckily, he has a personality to match

    She does have a nice voice though. I believe that she grew up in a very french part of Quebec Canda and did not learn English until she was an adult.

    I just find it kind of amusing that the story about a potentially huge deal is peppered with these relatively minor inconvenience anecdotes.

    I agree with you. LOL People think it is the end of the world if they cannot add a "like" to someones Snap. LOL

    But, in another thread, people were talking about using various apps for paying everything in everyday life. If it effected things like that, it would be a problem.

    You may get people at the end of their careers who can put up with couple of years of a repressive situation for (maybe) good money.

    I know people who've made a small fortune working in Saudi, but I think this would be different - you'd constantly be looking over your shoulder. And I doubt Hong Kong can pay as well as the Saudi's do.

    Her name is Pinky.

    What did you expect?

    On the other hand, some spandex and tank top pictures might have been nice.

    Even gets the British teeth right.

    BoJo is a natural-born American.

    Two British parents happened to release their genetically defective spawn on the upper east side.

    I know, it's a tragedy. Who would have thought his asshole could have soaked up so much of the surrounding area in such a short period of time.

    You know, they call him Britain Trump!
