  1. #MissKittyRaw When this #wisdom comes to the young we call them #wise. When it comes to the older we call us #experienced. LOL. When I realized I was going to #die at about the 3rd or 4th level of understanding that, accepting that, I had to ask what I was worried about? What was I hanging on to?

  2. In the last months, I've been using #wise to do my #business #banking

    I need a #bank that supports many currencies because I sell merch around the world.

    Mostly CAD, USD, GBP and EUR.

    But Wise is a British company, isn't fully insured, doesn't have credit cards, etc

    I'm currently in the process of switching to #loop (the bank, not the video platform)

    It's
    - Canadian
    - Multi-currency
    - CDIC/FDIC coverage
    - Have credit cards
    - etc

    While there have some issues, I think it's better long-term.

  3. Hype for the Future 177R: Wise and Norton, Virginia

    Introduction Within the southwestern portion of the Commonwealth of Virginia is the County of Wise, which entirely surrounds the City of Norton in the southwestern portion of the State. Today, the community is directly attached to the Appalachian region, with the mountains and valleys notable of the general area largely dictating settlement patterns into the modern day. Even though Norton is an independent city, the Town of Wise within Wise County is actually larger, along with nearby Big […]

  4. De wereld staat weer in brand en wij stoppen 14 miljard euro in luchtkastelen

    Het is april 2026 en Europa beleeft zijn tweede energiecrisis in vier jaar. De oorlog tegen Iran heeft de Straat van Hormuz lamgelegd. Twintig procent van de mondiale olieaanvoer is afgesneden. De Europese gasprijzen zijn verdubbeld. Het Internationaal Energieagentschap spreekt van de grootste leveringsonderbreking ooit op de mondiale oliemarkt.
    De les is elke keer dezelfde. Na de Arabische olieboycot van 1973. Na de Russische invasie van Oekraïne in 2022. En nu weer. Wie afhankelijk is van geïmporteerde brandstof, is kwetsbaar. En elke keer belooft de politiek dat het anders wordt. En elke keer kiest ze voor de volgende afhankelijkheid. Dat is precies wat Nederland nu dreigt te gaan doen met kernenergie.

  5. This new #RytBank - I'm thrown off by their #AI shtick, but this news certainly does enough for me to even be somewhat interested into looking them up. Anyway, the 'point of entry' (i.e. to get set up with a savings account) seems super simple, but until they support #ApplePay, they're not as enticing as they could be. That being said, even major players like #CIMB still don't support #Apple Pay in Malaysia - it's not the worst thing in the world since you could just have a secondary card that is avai on Apple Pay e.g. #Maybank or even digital 'banking' like #Wise, but def not an option as a 'sole' bank for me.

  10. Europese milieuorganisaties naar Brussel voor demonstratie

    Op woensdag 11 maart, precies vijftien jaar na de kernramp in Fukushima, demonstreerden Europese milieuorganisaties voor het gebouw van de Europese Unie aan de Wetstraat in Brussel. Zij boden een gezamenlijke petitie aan de Europese Commissie aan met de oproep om Europees geld te investeren in hernieuwbare energie in plaats van in kernenergie. Ook enkele tientallen Nederlandse activisten reisden naar Brussel.

    Frag mal bei #Wise nach, Multi-Curency accounts für Leute die häufig reisen und deshalb auch Lokale Konten benötigen ist so mehr deren Ding.

  19. Love from #Chandra & #WISE in this dazzling image of the Cocoon Nebula that resembles a heart :hearthands:

    This nebula is located in the #constellation Cygnus, which is associated with a tragic love story. For more on that #myth / #StarLore, see here: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

  20. As an #ecommerce seller that sells worldwide, I deal with many different currencies and exchange rates. Mostly CAD, USD, EUR, GBP.

    But normal traditional banks are very limited in that regard. Most of them only deal in CAD and have expensive hidden fees if you use any other currencies. #bank

    There are a few newer Canadian banks looking very promising that try to solve this problem. Like Loop (bankonloop), that targets Canadian businesses. #loop #canada #bankonloop

    https://www.bankonloop.com

    But I think it's still too new for me to use. It still needs to mature. For example:
    - It doesn't support #interact payments.
    - It doesn't support wire transfer for its canadian accounts.
    - I get weird issues related to the locations of those bank accounts.
    - etc

    For now, I use #wise, but I hope I get to switch to a Canadian alternative like Loop soon.

    👉 Cheapest depends on fees + exchange rate, not speed alone.
