OK, but you can attach a piece of tape to a coin and use just 1 coin to power the entire load. Unless it has one of those load all the coins into a tray at the same time and push them in mechanisms. Which, in that case, fuck coins.
Pretty sure my local bank has been doing this for a few years now. I thought I was losing it, but apparently it's a thing.
Only thing that pisses me off (besides the obvious fact that its my bank doing this, and i dont want ads) is that I get ads for the same stuff I just bought. If your supposed to be some all knowing awesome algorithm that understands me better than I understand myself, send me ads for stuff I might actually want, but haven't bought yet. Not, literally, the same thing I bought two days ago, and have no need for, for at least another month. Idiots.
Idk, maybe they get all the analytics, like someone else mentioned.
I just know there are "ads" on government websites I've seen that don't necessarily follow the traditional concept of what we've come to know as advertisements, but are adverstments none the less. How they're set up, and what function they serve beyond directing people to a different place, is beyond me.
Maybe I should have phrased it differently... Adverstments aren't always from sketchy companies stealing your info, sometimes they're from sketchy governments too...
Maybe they're ads for their own government services? Technically, an adverstment doesn't have to just be for skeezy companies trying to steal your info or money.
Like your on the drivers license pages and you see a space on the side that "advertises" getting your license renewed. It's more flashy and draws attention more than just a link to help people find what they're looking for easier.
Not in the UK, but my official city page has 3 advertments prior to getting to the body of the page (which is the offical link tree). One for reporting a concern, one for the recreation department, and a rotating one for more receration stuff and the transparency department.
I'm gonna have to pass on the sheep, well at least the males. We had one, as a companion to a horse, and the damn thing would head butt us half the time and try to hump us the other. We had to carry a stick in just to feed it, or risk ending up with a line of spooge down our backs. It wasn't right.
Rats, on the other hand, are great pets. More people should give rats a chance.
That's what happened to me. Needed a printer in the middle of covid, ASAP. Nothing I researched was there, so I had a limited time to just pick a printer. Hmmm, this HP seems ok...
3 months later, there was no way I used all the ink. WTF. Go to buy more, and thats when I realized my mistake. !@#☆$%^&*
Thank God there are others who have found these stupid captchas. I thought i was being flagged as a boarderline bot when nobody knew what I was talking about and assumed something completely different.
It's such a double standard for the large majority of these people. It's God's will that a baby should be born to suffer and die, but it's not God's will that they die of a heart attack, diabetes, or a simple infection.
If they really believed in God's will, they wouldn't be seeking medical care at all, for they were destined to suffer and die as well.
If you believe in miracles, put yourself in the hands of your God and wait for one yourself, asshats.
Except they'll make you sign up for id.me, biometrics and all.
