B2: B here sometimes you have to put the chip in, gets rejected, then you swipe it and it works - Beaker Jun 3, 11:57 6
- the places I mentioned just have regular swipers, and it's like the card isn't recognized - no rejection. -- nm - b. Jun 3, 12:01 1
  - (same, I just said rejected), older machine is my guess. Used to happen at Sobeys here, then they got new readers and now chip works fine' -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 12:02
- I like how people are all up in arms about security and privacy, yet I can tap my bank card against a POS machine and pay for things. - Shaun Jun 3, 11:59 2
  - what is the cap on that? $100 right? after that you need to chip and pin. -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 12:00 1
    - Still though. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 12:01
- my chip always works, but tap almost never does... -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 11:58
I'd go with a toaster oven over a toaster. More uses than just making toast. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 11:56 22
- TOs are much s l o w e r than a traditional toaster, in NYC they ain't got time for that -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 12:07 4

      - Haha! I want so many things but I'll never really use them. I have a milkshake machine that I've used twice. - Krusty Jun 3, 12:29 1
        
        I actually need a new blender too. thanks for reminding me. (or maybe I should just toss my old one and wait till I miss it.) - amanda Jun 3, 12:30
- Yeah, but then you have to time it. No thanks. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:00 9
  - Nope. It has settings just like a toaster. New toaster ovens are awesome. - Krusty Jun 3, 12:05 5
    - And it pops it out so it is easy to take? -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:06 4
      - Is it that much work to open the door and slide it out? In the end it's better and gives you more than just toast. - Krusty Jun 3, 12:23 3
        
        the number of burns on my hands from my toaster oven is far from zero. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 12:29 2
        
        True. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 12:33 1
        
        I'm heating up sausage right now. To do that in the oven would suck. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 12:33
  - another thing: toaster ovens never toast both sides evenly. man, I can't wait for evenly toasted toast. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 12:01 2
    - exactly. I have long had toaster ovens because of their multi-usefulness in my small kitchen. - b. Jun 3, 12:05 1
      - jonathan has the *best* toaster. it's like it knows me. it's always set on "mary." I eat *so much toast* at his house. - amanda Jun 3, 12:26
- [deleted] 3
  - that's actually what I ad. a toaster oven that convected too. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 12:00
  - Ideal for pizza reheating. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 11:59 1
    - frying pan! -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 12:00
- I actually just tossed my toaster oven. I'm getting a toaster when I move. the toaster oven takes up a ton of space and is super hard to clean. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 11:57 2
  - I use mine daily. No more microwave and I don't have to turn the oven on. - Krusty Jun 3, 12:03 1
    - yeah, I tossed the microwave a year ago. Toaster oven is the way to go - decline Jun 3, 12:08
so I just learned about the Bechdel test. Can you name a movie that passes it? - marcel Jun 3, 11:54 19
- Frozen - oblique Jun 3, 12:05
- Should there be a 1a - not animated film? If not, then Frozen. -- nm - Max Jun 3, 12:04 1
  - looking through my top 20 lists the past five years - Max Jun 3, 12:08

  - tee-hee! -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 12:19
- American Pie! -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 12:00
- Of tv I watch, The Good Wife and Suits are the best at passing this. - Max Jun 3, 11:59 3
  - I miss suits so so much. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 12:28
  - Orphan Black -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 12:00 1
    - Technically... -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:06
- Alison Bechdel - who the test is named after - sez her favorite movie doesn't even pass the test. (It's Groundhog Day.) -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 11:59
- Sure. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 11:58
- No Man's Land 26 -- nm - David Jun 3, 11:58

    - there are more than one movie with such an ending. ...spoil - z on the go Jun 3, 13:16
- Yes. -- nm - Ender Jun 3, 11:55
