Oh yeah of course, , no point cutting just 2mm of the the side of the blocks just to get them to fit, its not worth the effort, hassle or the mess, just brought some more and used them to light the BBQ at home......
Like to keep things easy, and tend to keep sharp things for when they are realy needed.......

And? Not quite sure what your point is. Yes the transaction data is sent over the net, encrypted. Not quite the same as someone having not just your card details but also name and address to go with it. Anyway this is way off topic, apologies to the OP.
And a record stays in the swiper fpr the cashier (or any other tech) to read and use. And the encryptions really aren't all that secure.
Sometimes people say that things are getting a bit fraught/nasty on the site - this is the first time I have seen it in action - do people need to calm down a bit? - it is easy to say something that could be misunderstood when it is written - as opposed to being spoken face to face.
Likewise it is easy to read something as rude/insulting when it wouldn't be taken that way if it was said face to face.
People have different views about the same set of circumstances and it isn't always easy to express things so that that they can only be taken in the way intended.
EDIT
PS we are only talking about hexamine blocks after all - hardly the world's most pressing problem at the moment

Wasn't aware there was anything "fraught/nasty" in this thread. As far as I could see it was just a discussion, with differing opinions (wouldn't be much of a discussion if everyone agreed all the time), which was going off topic. Apologies if anyone did take offence though, it certainly wasn't intended.
about 6 months ago someone put a link up for army stuff, white and red box a pound a box. cant find the link now.
