Did you know about the glitch?

For those who don't know the glitch was that people could withdraw money that they didnt even have. But the bank has now said that the money now withdrawn will be debited from their accounts.

[Flatzem]

these banking glitches are always interesting, there's many stories about them, people finding money in their account, cause someone transfered to a wrong account... or just other bank glitches.. lots of videos about these on youtube. sometimes people get in trouble if they start spending the money, sometimes I guess people keep quiet, some tell the bank and the bank usually sorts it out.. I know of one case some woman in Australia found several hundred K in her account , she told the bank but they didn't take the money from her but she went to the news media about it, who knows how it eventually ended up.

here's one glitch that ended up with a couple getting into trouble

if they wanted to keep the 10.5 million they should have quickly transferred the money to another country and disappear don't start buying up property in a country where a judge will rule against you and send you prison for it.

The truth is that spending money that isn't yours will eventually land you into trouble with the law. Anything done via electronics are traceable. There's simply no escaping from the truth coming to surface in due time.

When it comes to such amounts the risks in any case remain no matter how you act

As a saying goes (don't know who said this)...never take what's not yours!

I've just watched, for the second time, Virgin Galactic first ever official flight into space (50 miles out), carrying 3 passengers onboard, and then landing back (gliding) on the runway after the trip. Simply breathtaking! I wish I could take such a flight but a ticket costs $450,000 USD!!! 

[Afi4wins]

Watched it again today for the 3rd time. Here's some screenshots for those who didn't watch it.

Whoever said this was absolutely right 

[Flatzem]

@cocopop3011 any thoughts about the new 20mph in Wales? and after 20mph they will say oh let's go down to 15mph and then 10mph that will save even more... people will have their eyes on the speed more than on the road.

youtube is cracking down on adblockers

first they were doing this for a few days.

then they put a timer on it which on some videos you had to wait for a few seconds. 

 

and then came this one more threatening

as you all know youtube is just unwatchable with their ads which interrupt videos at start, middle and end... and unskippable ads too some of them.

   You're now a rocket bro?

Everything that I use on or from the internet are FREE VERSIONS.

Ask me to buy their paid version, or subscribe to their channel, or whatever else that would incur a cost to me, I'd tell them "go fly a kite" Flying a kite is also free!!!

I have never understood the entitlement behaviour and people crying over free stuff. People want everything for free. 

Well YouTube is a community runs on Advertiser's money. If you use adblock advertising will take a hit and Youtubers will not make money. By using adBlock you and people like you are declining Youtube and Youtubers value for their work. This is why YouTube introduced adblock so they could make some money.

until youtube/google stops their evil censorship ways they don't deserve to make money. hope more people move to other sites. and their ads in the middle of videos are unwatchable. and they also put ads on some peoples channels that are demonetized.

Casinos are way worse than YouTube. You still give them your money.

Oh maaaan, my region is facing water supply disruption since yesterday due to pollution in the relevant rivers. The treatment plants are undergoing maintenance, repairs and cleaning works and may go on until noon tomorrow (12th).

No water supply is very very stressful indeed and there's still 1 more day to endure...hopefully.
