I added some small/niche subs to my RSS reader. If something gets posted I’ll take a look, but I’m not spending time browsing and getting sucked in anymore.

Ear plugs, hat over my face, and fatigue. Sure I’m sore afterwards, but if i can sleep through at least half the flight I’m happy.

usually a percentage of the amount this of the sale.

It’s usually a percentage plus a fixed amount. Rewards cards and AMEX and Discover can be significantly higher than your bog standard bank account card.

Here’s Squares rates, which flatten out all the variables to these standard fees. Traditional merchant credit card processing services pass on the exact charges based on the type of card, issuer, and entry method. I think AMEX was 3.5%+.

The Square standard processing fee is 2.6% + 10¢ for contactless payments, swiped or inserted chip cards, and swiped magstripe cards. Payments that are manually keyed-in, processed using Card on File, or manually entered using Virtual Terminal have a 3.5% + 15¢ fee. Invoices cost from 2.9% + 30¢.

Me too! The older I get the more I find fixing things is not as common as I thought. Just the other day I was at a friend’s place and they were struggling opening a window. Five minutes later it was fixed. The sash spring fell off, super simple fix. They were cursing at it for months without any effort to figure it out, but that’s most people it seems.
