He's using a HP Folio laptop with Windows 10. Maybe he's using a touchscreen on the laptop instead of a mouse? He still should have mouse buttons on the keyboard.

My wife has a touchscreen laptop, I'll borrow it and see if that is the problem.

If we were still using silver coins, the virus would not survive long on them.

I don’t know about silvers effectiveness against Covid but at least the coins would actually have some value....

I do know, silver destroys covid and every other virus on the planet.

 

[DrHenley]

Silver has been used as an antimicrobial agent for centuries.

There was a a big and beautiful world out there. Most people are decent and just want to live their lives and raise their families just like we do. That being said you should use common sense when traveling wether abroad on at home.

maybe so but there are to many a-holes out there to take chances with,,,,hell we have them right here at home

Watched YT video where they used pennies instead of shot or slug for a 12 gauge. It actually did work and as noted, was cheaper than buying shot. Bottom line, cheaper to shoot coins. LOL

common sense tells me to not go abroad

I received a notice in the mail last month saying I needed to use my credit card or they were going to close my account. The only reason I still have it is in case of an emergency even though the last "emergency" was during a time I evacuated during a hurricane so I could fill up with gas. I ended up buying a couple pairs of shoes since I was needing some new ones. It was a very easy process, in fact too easy for me. , , I keep my credit card at home, never on me, I am too paranoid about it getting stolen. I did have to activate it befor I went shopping but all I had to do was insert it into whatever the device is, sign and done. So basically anyone could use my card? No asking for ID to verify I am the cardholder. You got to remember I am very old schooled and rely on either cash or checks.

I use cards both for personal and for business. As long as they are paid off each month in full it’s actually safer than carrying cash. There are some perks too like cash back rewards and extra warranty and the bank can handle disputes.

 

[Dani]

Oh I will pay off as soon as the bill comes then will wait till I get the next letter threatening to close my account. First on took about 8 years but they are more like a year and a half now.

 

[tmttactical]

The card is paid off every month, on time. We do get some perks from using it but it's main purpose is for emergencies, over and above our carried cash.

@Danil54grl, it is getting easier and easier to use (abuse) a credit card. Many stores have even done away with the signature. Just swipe and run. Fraud is getting easier and easier. At least with a Debit card, you have to enter a PIN.

 

[DrHenley]

Some places here don't require a PIN anymore.

A pin is only used for cash withdrawel?

I believe it is up to the issuing banks and varies but mine seems to be based on the amount.

$54.69 purchase on the bank card. No signature, no PIN

We have been moving to a cashless society the moment ATM's came online. To complain about a nonstarter issue is pointless folks. Accept the fact the government and banks have all of our butts lined up and will charge us extra to use lube. Some of us remember our parents only used checks to pay bills. Cashing our checks and leaving just enough to pay the monthly bills and add to savings the rest was cash in the pocket or wallet. Now it all goes in the bank and they give a debit card to track everything. When was the last time you used cash for groceries, movies, dinner and lunch out or pay the lawn people. Yup cashless has been here I only use cash at car wash. Well the strip club but i don't use their ATM...

 

[BillMasen]

One aspect of a cashless society that the left are touting over here is adding a TRANSACTION Tax on everything. IE every sale or purchase you make the state takes a percentage.

This sort of thing always bothers me. I have literally purchased nearly $400 worth of stuff and not been ID’d or had to sign or put in PIN. When I’ve asked the clerks how can that be, they have responded with nonchalant answers.

 

[Oddcaliber]

Every week I go to the ATM and get cash from my paycheck. Only one stop to make then I decided who gets my money.

 

[blargg]

I turned in almost $500 in coins last month.

 

[Jayson]

I’ll fit in just nicely in a cashless society because I’m pretty much cashless now.

 

[Maverick]

Right now we have stores in Clark county Washington not excepting cash due to the chinese virus including the mom and pop stores. Like my wife told the hardware store that's been here since 1901, "if I got to use my debit or credit card here, I'll just order from Amazon" and she did, order from Amazon. We wont be back nor my kids, the owner knows that, he's called me twice, I've been going there for 40 years and my dad before that as will as my kids.

This is the best advice I can give or have seen regarding a cashless society.

 

[BillMasen]

Imagine the federal government being able to see and record every gun, ammo, food, fuel and other prepper purchase and be able to see how much gear you have bought and cached. Cashless societys are a totalitarians dream.

Indeed. That is why I am actively trying to collect all resources and prepping items I need now before the government turns off the money tap.
