howe_sam posted:In broad strokes a hold is funds taken from your available balance while a transaction is in the process of clearing. And if the hold is really big, like a the cost of a hotel room, it could keep you from doing other transactions with your debit card, or even cause you to generate insufficient fund fees if the timing of transactions is real bad. howe_sam posted:I think we've gotten better about handling this stuff in the twenty years since this strip but I remember back in the day the advice to customers was book hotel rooms with your credit card, then pay with your debit card when you get to the hotel. howe_sam posted:And as for online, I just meant if your debit card gets compromised it's a direct line to your actual money instead of the funny money of a credit line.

A number of American banks will - or at least used to - happily not take holds into account when displaying your available balance because it encourages you to accidentally overdraft yourself for which they can charge you a fee for initiating an unarranged overdraft, a fee for the failed transaction that failed because you didn't have enough money, and immediately begin charging daily interest on the negative balance of both.

Tiggum posted:So sometimes when I pay for something, the available balance in my account is reduced immediately but the "actual" balance doesn't change until, I guess, the transaction is fully processed? Whatever the reason, there's sometimes a difference between the two numbers. But I don't see how this is a problem? I don't want to be able to spend more than the available balance, because that would be more money than I have. If I have $100 and I spend $30 then I can't buy something that costs $80 - whether I'm using cash or a debit card. This can be a problem for people who do have enough money to pay for the thing, but don't have extra money in the bank to cover a bunch of $50-100 holds that will go away once the actual charge goes through. Credit cards solve this problem because you don't care how much of a hold is being put on them, since you just pay for the charges that go through at the end of the billing cycle.

Haifisch posted:A lot of places will place holds greater than the amount being charged for various reasons. Gas stations and hotels are the biggest offenders. (Gas stations I guess because they have you pay before you pump the gas, so they want to cover what they assume the max amount of gas dispensed is? Hotels are in case you trash your room or something)

I don't get what Tiffany means by Hoeing. Is she supposed to have forgotten Dez' name or something? Good Listener posted:God. gently caress you gopher man. The thing that bothers me about it is that changing your species is supposed to be Holbrook's analogue for being trans, so the gopher man wanting to be a turtle just to get together with the weasel feels incredibly off to me. What the hell, Zelda? No need to be an rear end in a top hat to Tove just because she wants to speak on speakerphone. Though hey, at least it's nice to know in this new status quo that she and her wife are still together! ![]()

I can't wait for the other shoe to drop with Mr. Mr. Boop. The whole mundane diary strip/finding a real Betty thing feels like a long setup to a big punchline.Evil Mastermind posted:Cul De Sac flirts with danger. First time I saw a Cul De Sac strip with Big Shirley I was convinced she was a pig and that was the joke. I was only disabused of this notion in the last day or two.

I've heard of a similar car game called Ziggity -- it's basically road bingo, where you have a list of things that might be seen from a car and the points each one is worth. The first person to point them out and yell "Ziggity (thing)" scores the point value of that thing. Looks like the Duck has been roped into playing without seeing the list.

Is this a very early one, or something? It's unsigned, so it almost looks like a fan comic done by someone else. Plus the opinions are slightly different from Everett's usual, though to be honest he has never been entirely consistent in his positions.
