Guilty as charged. 😊
Lest anyone suggests to you they're obsolete, note the E6-B is still used by pilots and a small one with trig on it is a great addition to a compass for "analog" wilderness navigation. (Once you set a triangulation angle results can be read *faster* than punching in a multiplication on a calculator; no batteries ever required).

yup, paid for my last tune up with my trusted local mechanic by check to avoid the credit card fees. This reeks of stealing from the little guy through infrastructure. Picking on fraud vulnerability makes no sense. US credit cards are *decades* behind in security features like PIN codes and mandatory rotating secret codes for logins that I’ve had in other countries.
