I haven't used my physical chip-and-pin card since covid started. It's been so long I've forgotten the PIN! I'm very happy contactless worked for a big transaction. I may continue avoiding calling my bank indefinitely.

I've managed to pay £500 with contactless payment (via iPhone). I'm surprised. Was that a fluke? Have banks raised contactless limit so high? Was the limit only for physical cards?

"A social purpose corporation (SPC) is a type of for-profit entity, a corporation, in some U.S. states that enables, but does not require, considering social or environmental issues in decision making."

That's funny both in itself and because of how that is supposed to set them apart from regular corporations.

And here I am whining about that still in 2021.
