@djsmiley2k just passed the sample pictures through an online GIF creator. Something I rarely do. So, it's a start :)
@JourneymanGeek "EOD traditionally is around 5:00 p.m., the end of the standard workday, but can vary depending on the time zone that the person or company is located in. Most often used in the abbreviated form when written, and in the longer form when spoken."

I was thinking about EMV (chip card) here in the US... One of those things that irks me is the fact that most gas pumps in the US with card readers do not support chip cards, and skimmers are frighteningly common. My father, for example, will usually either pay cash or go into the convenience store to use the EMV terminal there to pay.
Also, more card issuers need to issue at least PIN-capable cards, with the ability to make the card prefer PIN over signature if possible. Even if the card doesn't come with a PIN by default, at least give us the option to add one.
Right now, the only reason you'd want a PIN for a credit card in the US is if you need to be able to use the card to take out cash advances at an ATM (which is generally a bad idea and should only be used as a last-resort means of obtaining cash).
> One credit card issuer explained why chip-and-signature was adopted over chip-and-PIN:
“We don’t really think we can teach Americans to do two things at once. So we’re going to start with teaching them how to dip, and if we have another watershed event like the Target breach and consumers start clamoring for PIN, then we’ll adjust.”
@Nick It's called "overdraft line of credit". If you run out of money in your checking account, your bank can briefly lend you money to cover the purchase until you have enough money to repay it.
" -- The lines between debit and credit cards are blurry because you can run a debit card as a credit card. However, even though the transaction is logged as credit, as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation puts it, you are still "authorizing a debit (withdrawal) from your account, not a credit card transaction --"
@bwDraco it's an ancient practice. Anyhow, the only reason I see why those cards are made separate is to ensure the inconvenience you mentioned is noticed.
Similar, but sometimes higher. At some point, they'd ask you to take a credit card as well.
There has to be some numerous benefits for the bank in doing this.
My stance is OpenID for everything xD No more cards. Else, one card to rule them all. How much easier it would be to keep track.

Revisiting this old issue.
One of my biggest issues with chat is that after just two minutes, not only can we not edit messages, but we also cannot delete them. While I am not advocating for an unlimited delete feature, I'm suggesting a compromise that allows us to delete (but not edit) messages...
