I usually draw cash if I'm buying something that has a minimum spend for card or pay a fee (eg. Lotto ticket), or if I'm buying something for less than a dollar - hardly worth using the card. )(A bottle of sparkling mineral water is 85c at Aldi, 90c at WW.) I'm a skinflint.

Did you know that the first nations persons performing Welcome To Country ceremonies were paid to do so?
Broken Hill City Council has caused a stir by deciding to stop making the payments.

If you use Woolies self checkout, avoid the Card Only checkouts, and there is a Withdraw Cash button so you don't need to make a purchase. Used it a few times when I need cash.

Foxtel is rerunning The Big Bang Theory for about the sixth time. They have had a lot of cameos by people playing themselves, eg. Steve Wozniak from Apple Computers, Steven Hawking, Stan Lee (comicbook writer), and I think they had Bill Gates and Elon Musk on as well.

Banks are now making some branches "cashless". On Chnnel 9's Today, a woman claimed she could not withdraw money from her ANZ Bank account because it was a "cashless" branch. She transferred her entire balance to another bank where she was able to withdraw it. Karl Stefanovic said it was like a pub with no beer. As the topic title says, thin edge of the wedge.

Remember the old rhyme -
Here I sit, broken hearted,
Paid my penny and only farted.
I remember an underground toilet on Elizabeth St Melbourne years ago, outside the G.P.O. Nothing for a leak, but coin in the slot to take a seat.

The top Russian military leader who is believed to have known in advance about the weekend’s mutiny has been arrested — and security services have him “by the balls,” according to a local report.
The Kremlin on Thursday again refused to discuss the whereabouts of Gen. Sergei Surovikin, 56, who has not been seen since the weekend revolt by his close ally, Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.
However, two sources close to Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed to the Moscow Times that the one-time military leader of the Ukraine war has been arrested, with one saying his situation is “not OK.”
“Apparently, he [Surovikin] chose Prigozhin’s side during the uprising, and they’ve gotten him by the balls,” one of the sources said.
The interrogation of the general — who remained a deputy commander of Russian forces in Ukraine — is so sensitive that defense department officials “are not even commenting on this information through our internal channels,” one of the sources told the Moscow paper.

Thin end of the wedge

I have two credit cards which I had when I worked for the bank over 25 years ago. For many years I had to rely on them to avoid debt collectors on such things as gas, electricity and rates. I don't use them now except for very limited online purchases (two less than $40 in the last 2 years), and for parking stations which don't accept debit cards. My debit card is with a different bank, and my savings account is with this bank but can only be used through the debit card account (ie, no direct debits or withdrawals.)
My credit cards, which used to be maxed, have been paid down by $2,500. These are my only debts. My credit rating has dropped a few points because I haven't applied for credit for years.
