Ran into a couple of minor bugs while messing around with the app so far:

1. When you generate those PDF payment confirmations, if the bill description is too long, the text just gets cut off in the PDF.

2. Also, when trying to pay cash by scanning a barcode, the scanner struggles if the screen isn't bright enough. I recently started using the Shell Go+ app, and they actually fixed this—the screen brightness just cranks itself up to max automatically whenever a barcode pops up.

Small stuff, I guess, but honestly pretty annoying.

Man, I gotta say—I didn't expect them to nail those scenes so authentically. Bela Lugosi is definitely the standout for me, though... I think I actually dig the guy playing him more, mostly because his eyes look way creepier. Probably just those massive eyebrows, I guess.

Digging this thread up from the grave because I caught a screening of this flick on PBS last night. Honestly? Even after nearly thirty years, the thing hasn't aged a single day—mostly because they used those old-school techniques to capture that classic Hollywood vibe. I guess you could say movies like this are basically timeless. Not sure how many of you guys have actually seen it since the comments here are pretty thin, but... yeah, highly recommend.

So, what was her excuse for deleting it?

Lisa Perez50 said:Has anyone here actually tried dropping a massive amount of cash at a terminal? I’ve been reading that the limit is $1667 max.
Is there any chance PayPal might flag the transaction and freeze my funds—kind of like how Chime can be such a headache—or will the merchant just start complaining about the amount?

I did three $2,000 deposits once and honestly, everything went fine—no drama.

Caught PBS earlier today. Long story short—what a cinematic trip. It’s got that vibe where everything feels slow and almost boring, yet you’re constantly hooked, just wondering what’s gonna happen next... I guess. They touch on all sorts of topics throughout the movie, plenty of stuff that probably wouldn't fly in today's climate.

Larry Walker24 said:Talking to eyewitnesses was pretty brutal—honestly, I think younger people really need to see what we went through in our history.[/url]

Well, at least he actually had living witnesses to talk to... unlike some people.

I honestly don't get what religious folks would even have to talk about on a religion forum if there weren't any skeptics around to—I guess you could say—poke at them and force some actual critical thinking regarding all this religious stuff.

wearybison63 said:Why would I even bother going anywhere? — honestly, what's the point?

I'm doing alright here—I guess.😁

I mean, technically we wouldn't even have to move anywhere—we’d just swap out that ancient vBulletin software for something modern that actually gets regular security patches and updates. There are like ten decent options out there, and from what I've seen, Reddit is free, which is a plus. It looks pretty slick too—pretty responsive on both mobile and desktop, I guess.
So, I guess they just need to migrate the entire history and all the user data over to that new software—if that even works.

EDIT: Here's a few examples—just to show how this forum actually works in practice:
https://forum.curvefever.pro/
I guess people just love hanging out in digital echo chambers—it’s basically like walking into a massive Reddit thread that never ends. Just endless noise, I suppose.
Just some links to various sub-sections—I guess. Pretty much just categories for everything, if that's what you're looking for... maybe.

Honestly, we should probably just migrate this whole forum to a new platform. I guess Reddit would be my top pick—it’s open-source and free, plus you can always pay them to handle the extra stuff if you want.

neonhound32 said:Phew, this film is intense and fascinating all at once. If it were shorter, I probably wouldn't have been sucked in quite so deeply, and they definitely should have trimmed the final act—it ends up feeling a bit pathetic.

I found myself laughing quite often; those kung-fu scenes are excellent. Kudos for using slow-mo, though it feels like the movie was edited specifically for younger generations who can't hold their attention unless something is constantly flashing in their faces. It’s just too much at once. 🙂

I dig the concept of infinite alternative lives, but I'm not sold on the idea that you're surrounded by the exact same people in every single one, essentially living the same life just with a different job. It doesn't feel authentic to me.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Parasite. The comparison is completely off base. Parasite has a very clear, driving narrative that tracks the clash between the wealthy and the poor, showing the fallout when someone is pushed to the brink of despair. It’s full of metaphors that are subtle yet obvious enough to catch.

This film is a chaotic blend of fantasy, superhero elements, comedy, action, and drama. You get exactly what the title promises. At least they didn't miss the mark on that front.

I wouldn't call it woke, but the whole subplot about the gay daughter feels forced. There's no real substance or detail there; to me, her girlfriend serves more as a metaphor for how difficult being a teenager is, and how the mother-daughter bond suffers due to misunderstanding and fear.

The ending is murky. The daughter says she just wants someone to understand her and what she's going through, but then when the mother shows understanding, it's still not enough because of something else. Is she the same good daughter, or is she Tutu Chewbac? 😵

Overall, the ending should have been her letting her go to the Bagel immediately, which would mean accepting her and letting her be who she wants to be. Instead, it was just this back-and-forth, push-and-pull. A mess.

Please, don't make it any longer; if they did, the last part would be totally redundant. 😁 Just a bunch of crying from the mother and daughter without any real message behind it. 🙂

I was getting vibes of Inception, The Matrix, even certain video games—just a bit of everything. I honestly can't wrap my head around how it holds such a high rating; personally, I found it pretty underwhelming.

If those first two parts had been shorter, maybe there’d have been enough time to develop a third part that goes in some weird, unconventional direction—kind of like how they did things in Twin Peaks, I guess.

But whatever, it's not like the movie was aiming for that level of depth anyway. It's basically just a basic action comedy stuffed with sci-fi elements, a little madness, and all that colorful chaos you see on TikTok or internet clips (remember all those ridiculous scenes with dildos used as swords?). On top of all that, they tried to squeeze in some family drama. I mean, sure, they managed to pull it off, but the whole blend just bored me—I didn't feel a single thing during those family fallout scenes.

And yeah, about her daughter's relationship... this Asian mom is super supportive of her sexuality and accepts her girlfriend right from the jump. In the real world, we know Asian families tend to be way more conservative than Americans, and most parents would probably lose their minds if they found out their kids were gay. Maybe they'd chill out once the kids are grown and moved out, but while they're still teenagers? Realistically, there'd be massive pressure to stop. What am I getting at? Just that this mom was liberal from the start and gave her kid everything she could materialistically. I don't see what the hell is her fault that the daughter drifted away. Yeah, okay, she works all day, but someone's gotta put food on the table.

boldnomad8 said:Without that change, their card is basically trash right now. They probably realize that too. 😂

I assume you mean the app, since you don't even need a card for Scan & Pay. And look, obviously they gotta make a profit—that’s just how it works—but I guess $0.50 is a bit much when you consider all the other options out there.

electriccanyon26 said:It isn't boring. The direction is solid—take that scene with J. Lee Curtis playing the tax auditor, for instance; what's the issue there? The action sequences hit the mark too. I don't quite get the massive hate. Sure, the "emotional core" of the story is a total cliché, much like in Inception, but that's what I expected. It needed that hook... (the kind of thing Netflix generations would hail as a masterpiece.) I actually enjoyed the Bagel part; it gave me some Twin Peaks vibes. For what it is, the film is very good. And fun.

Yeah, but it's such a bummer they didn't dive into that Bagel part—you know, that whole "All at Once" thing. Like, in Twin Peaks, they go into that Red Room, which is basically the Bagel equivalent in this movie. It would’ve added so much depth, but I guess they skipped it because it wouldn't be commercial... most people wouldn't have a clue what was even happening.

And what was the deal with that "All at Once" bit? It felt way too rushed—like, there was definitely room to squeeze more in there. As it stands, you just get this sudden happy ending... kinda boring if you ask me.
Honestly, the whole thing gives me Inception vibes. You know, where DiCaprio is jumping through dream layers trying to plant an idea in some CEO's son's head? Here, it’s just a mother navigating different layers to reach her daughter. The main difference is that in Inception, DiCaprio was kind of a side player in that father-son dynamic, whereas here, the mom is front and center having to find a way through. But even in Inception, he had to deal with his wife's projection, which feels like a parallel to this movie. Only instead of dreams being the medium, they used parallel universes.

ironheron5 said:Hey everyone,

Does anyone happen to know how many transactions I can run through before they actually require me to verify my profile?

I don't really remember exactly when I started using Cash App—honestly, my memory's pretty shot—but I think I had to verify everything right away by snapping a photo of my ID and filling out all that info.

mellowhawk33 said:We’re creeping up on the end of the month, which means those sweet, sweet days of paying off bills without getting slapped by extra fees are winding down. It makes you wonder, though—once those windows close, what’s actually going to be our best bet for keeping things cheap?

Maybe using e-mail ($0.67 style) plus a Venmo card for $10... I guess that’s probably the best long-term play if you don't have online banking set up at any major US bank.

Though, honestly, I might just toss a few bills through Venmo even with that 3.5 dollar fee—just to let them make a little something so they don't get any bright ideas about adding new fees, like a surcharge for paying cash at The New York Times.

ironcyclist58 said:Says they're going by the Visa exchange rate.

And where am I supposed to find that Visa rate? Is it this: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/pers...-currency.html

Has anyone ever used their Venmo card for international stuff—like, say, booking a hotel in the US in dollars? I'm wondering what the fees look like and how they actually calculate them. Also, does it automatically swap things over to dollars like Chime does? Because looking at my exchange settings, I don't see any option to actually buy dollars... maybe I'm just missing it.

Can you basically "unlink" a Venmo card from one phone—you know, the account—and move it to a different device, then maybe just switch it back to the original one later on?

Lisa Perez50 said:This 2D code payment system is honestly great. Even if they hike the fee up to $0.50, I’d still stick with them. The currently announced $1.25 feels like a bit much, though. Honestly, paying through Chase is driving me crazy because I have to manually select everything from scratch for every single bill. With this, everything is lightning fast and done in no time 👍

Since I don't bother with online banking, I'm thinking about just loading cash onto Aircash and then using their card to move money over to Keksica—mostly because their fee is only $0.75. If I do that for ten different bills, I'll save enough for a coffee every month, I guess.
