Checks are processed exactly the same as debit cards since about 2008 with Check21.

The difference is the store or bank don't have to retain copies of checks when you use a debit card.

Checks have been processed identically to debit cards since about 2008, with Check21, so this changes nothing.

I've been using a VMNO for 4 years now, never had an issue.

I used to be Verizon only because of travel for work, and I need it to "just work". I've found NVMO to be no different now.

It's possible in a specific area this could be the case though. Not all areas have the same coverage.

Or buy a leading edge phone from 2-4 years ago, which is what I do. I can afford to keep hot spares around at those prices.

Showing Atlanta the same as Denver means the level of abstraction is so high as to make this meaningless.

East coast cities are more chaotic than this implies, because of time and growth patterns.

Denver was first aligned along the river, then a NS grid later, which this graphic doesn't show at all. So while it's primarily a grid, it's 2 grids, one that's rotated about 45°.

I've driven in a number of these cities, and this graphic really doesn't reflect the on-the-ground experience.

And people wonder why I have hundreds of PDFs for shit I don't own.

She did a live stage sitcom back then too that was pretty bold, and could be pretty funny.

TB isn't even that, which is the problem. It's fast-food-ified ideas of Mexican food.

I make Mexican at home that's 1000x closer and I'm a fucking Yank (plenty of real cooks online, TV, and YouTube).

TB is a bunch of nasty shit on a burger bun that's been run through a pasta roller.

At best, their tacos kind of resemble campechano tacos... When seen through a drunken haze.

Uggh, Chipotle. "Here's your giant rice-filled flour tortilla".

It's to Mexican food as Olive Garden is to Italian.

Really? They had pepper before 2014? No way!

I wanna say "We Can't Turn You Loose" but I guess I'll have to settle for "She Caught the Katie".
