Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

how do yall usually handle down payments, like on cars and houses and such? those are the only times I’d really expect to use a check in my part of the US

this side of the world? typical cases: direct funds transfers, or sometimes direct debit (depending on the purchase financing structure and provider). and it's pretty much a smooth transaction, optionally having to contact your bank of choice to request a temporary/once-off limit adjustment (fairly typical to have transaction value caps in place here for personal accounts)
