What happens when it says "insert card"?
Can you do this to your card ?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Videos like this show a non-working method that breaks the credit card's NFC antenna needed for tap payments. Actual DIY payment rings use careful dissolution and a replacement antenna:

This is asinine.

💧 WATER IN JAMAICA 🇯🇲
⚖️ Water Security Is Food Security!
We've been battling a brutal, climate-driven drought.
🚜 Scorched fields hurt farmers and pushed up food prices.
🚰 Water restrictions left many household taps dry.
⛈️ Recent heavy rainfall has brought some relief.🧵
Cindy Hyde-Smith is going to represent Mississippi in the United States Senate for the next six years. We believe thousands of votes remain to be counted from dozens of Republican counties, and we are confident those votes will reinforce her path to victory.
Election officials are continuing the normal process of counting outstanding ballots, including absentee ballots. They must have the time to complete that work and ensure every lawful ballot is accurately counted and every Mississippian’s voice is heard.
We expect Democratic lawyers to pull out every stop, and we are prepared. Our focus is on completing the count and returning Cindy Hyde-Smith to the Senate to keep fighting for Mississippi values.

As of this November 5 post, Democrat Scott Colom led Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by over 1,000 votes with 96% counted in Mississippi's Senate race, which remained too close to call with outstanding ballots projected to favor Colom.

Thank you, New Mexico! It is the honor of my lifetime to be elected your 33rd Governor.
Tonight, you made history. You chose a future where New Mexico comes first, where working families have a chance to get ahead, and where every New Mexican has a voice.
I know the challenges ahead are real. But I also know that New Mexicans have never backed down from a fight — and we are going to tackle these challenges together.
Whether you voted for me or not, I will always be your Governor, too. Because this campaign was about all of us, and the future we deserve.
Let’s keep New Mexico, New Mexico. Let’s build a brighter future for our families. And let’s get to work.
That's my home state. I love New Mexico.

People died in plane crash due to no fault of their own but people want someone to blame. They want to demonize a co-pilot for being 20 and a woman. They want to shame the pilot for reciting the Lords Prayer. This is where we are as a society.

Effective communication is when the message is understood as intended.
Sometimes I wonder if Govt need fi just seh:
“Yah hear mi my people. Unnu contribute bout $1.7B towards Hurricane Melissa recovery. Since October, Govt spend at least $67B fi clean up di place, restore light, feed people in shelters, fix schools & Govt buildings, and rebuild what mash up - including Black River Hospital.
So we a save di donated money fi help build back houses fi people weh lose dem home.
We waan spend every dollar pon something unnu can SEE, so nobody cyaan seh di money disappear. Cah unno a sey that now and the Auditor General vouch fi di money."
Sometimes plain Jamaican talk > press release. What you all think?

Why reject a state benefit because of party politics? But here’s the bigger question: how many ppl in the public service think the reverse way - blocking, delaying or denying citizens benefits because it’s not “their government” in power?
Seriously, how much ppl a block benefit fi Jamaicans cause a nuh fi dem party in a gov't? 🥲 2/2
