Leave me alone!
Yeah, I’m still sleeping a lot. It’s quite annoying.
I did manage to do some research into my quest to never have to go to the bank or buy another dumb prepaid credit card again.
First I went back to Koho because I remembered them sounding promising the first time I attempted this quest.
I gave up that time when I figured out that they were ALL going to require that goddamned two factor authentication (2FA) and at the time, I had no device that could do SMS (aka text messaging) so no 2FA for me.
Anyhow, I went back to Koho only to pour over that page many times without being able to figure out if they could take money directly from my bank account or not.
I mean, they probably could, seeing as they have no physical locations and therefore they have no other way to get your money.
But this is MY money we’re talking about here, so I moved on.
I tried some Google searches to no avail before finding this promising prospect.
It’s backed by one of Canada’s big banks, which means it’s probably legit, And it seems to be exactly what I am looking for.
Not sure if I checked it out the first time.
So that is where the search stands now. If I decide to go that route, there will still be the question of opening a new account at RBC and transferring my VanCity balance there, and setting up my direct deposit to go there.
But at the end it would all be worth it because I would have the seamless financial life I have been dreaming about.
More after the break.
Sit, Fruvous, sit! Good fox! *rarf!*
Title ref. is here.
I have come to the radically unsurprising conclusion that my lying down all the time is bad for me.
I will now pause to let the gasps of astonishment and cries of “My god!” and “Of course!” and “Finally, the new millennium has truly begun!” die down.
No word a lie, that is exactly how my fantasy /TED talk ends.
Hey, if you’re gonna fantasize, why hold back?
Anyhow, lying down all day cannot be good for a person. We are designed by evolution to function in our natural upright posture. That puts all our organs in their proper places, our spines in the right shape, and our circulation flowing freely.
Whereas when I am lying down, blood is flowing perpendicular to gravity and my weight presses down on all the veins and arteries near the surface.
And that’s most of them.
Not to mention the specter of muscle atrophy.
Check this : I actually miss the good old days when I had a much healthier lifestyle of sitting down all day.
Plus I am starting to really miss PC gaming. But that’s irrelevant.
So clearly I need to spend a lot more time sitting up.
But I got a big wound on my butt. So I have to sit somewhere soft.
Softer than this string of typographic characters to indicate swearing computer chair, at the very least.
So I need a new seat. Doesn’t have to be an office chair, just has to be comfy and fit behind the computer.
Now where the heck will I get something like that?
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
