It’s not when the context of “all along” is in question. Someone is accusing this person of changing their tone only because it’s convenient and TFA is that supposed change in tone.
Well, that was a rabbithole. I learned that (BME - Bolsa y Mercados Espanoles - Spanish stock market) is owned by a Swiss company. It blows my mind that countries sell off such important infrastructure, even if in this case to a friendly country.
This idea has an obvious problem. It's a lot of hard work. How many people are going to be diligent in planting canaries etc? And if you are, can you be diligent for the next 1, 2, 3 decades? That's a lot of time spent on this.
You know what would be better? If every bank provided as a service/feature the ability to create single-use (and single-merchant!) debit cards. Revolut can do it, why can't huge banks do it as well? (BTW if you know one that does, let me know.)
Capital One does still have these: https://www.capitalone.com/digital/eno/ though caveat the feature is only available via a browser plugin, I assume because they want to be able to scrape your shopping habits/history in the process.
Now its available through their own app, and if/once you save actual card in Google Chrome, its directly available from Chrome in any credit card box. No need of Eno now.
Capital One can generate single/repeat use virtual cards, although it's for number-only transactions (online only?). I don't know if there's way to use them for tap/swipe transactions.

FWIW, I use Revolut and am a fan of their service. However, the one time I tried to use the single-use feature it just didn’t work for some reason. So I had to enter my “permanent” card details instead in order to proceed with payment.
I'm not in Twitter, but I clicked that link just to see what you're talking about. I must've scrolled 50 messages and saw a total of 2 pepes. That's it.
Maybe Twitter is showing you that based on your historical account behavior? :-)
The supervisor is responding to the BS he's being told. OP isn't telling the supervisor "I have emotional problems that lead me to procrastinate as an avoidance mechanism". He's telling him something like "oh yeah I'm totally making progress with task X you gave me, I just didn't finish it because I went into task Y and made progress there instead".

You mean, like you're doing right now? Comments on HN can't be deleted after an hour because they add value to HN forever. And by being here you're adding value to them. Basically free labor.
Just ignore.
