    Log onto Ticketmaster 2min after Nick Offerman tix go on sale. All gone. But they will show me reseller tickets. ARSES.


    @gilmae Just order one off the Internet like a CITIZEN OF THE FUTURE.


    @gilmae Yes. But it can top up automatically, so you don’t get the sad tap-on triple-ding of a broke-ass student. #tradeoffs


    @gilmae *sigh* Whatever, Grandpa. πŸ˜›


    @gilmae I use my CC all over online, and it’s been compromised exactly once. I called the bank, it was like 2 hours of hassle, & that’s it.


    @gilmae But I watch my CC a lot closer than most people. I am prepared to trade some vigilance for convenience.


    @gilmae Sorry to tell you – Amazon was the one where I got compromised before!


    @ImagiNERDtive @gilmae Meh. You aren’t liable for any fraudulent credit card charges as long as you report quickly.


    @ImagiNERDtive @gilmae So IMHO the only reason not to use it is if you’re a privacy nut. πŸ™‚

  • “The Stand” by The Alarm

    How did I not know there was an awesome 80’s pop song inspired by The Stand? (Incidentally, the IRS Records: 80’s Pop playlist on Apple Music Australia is rocking my world today.)
