Charged 12 years of Fees from Wells Fargo on Free checking?
I just went to Wells Fargo ( who I have banked with for 14 years) and I was told that Wells Fargo stopped charging for Stagecoach checking 12 years ago. The teller went on to tell me thats they have been charging me $10 per month for 12 years. I asked the manager what they could do to reverse fees and he replied that "I should have been looking at my statements" finally I asked for his boss she said the same thing and after pulling teeth gave me 3 months of $30 back on my account. I still feel like they owe me approx $1200.00. Of course at this point I am going to close my accounts with them but this seems very illegal to me! ( I am a good customer there and go into the bank almost daily. I also have my business account there aswell) Is this legal??
What would a disaster-resilient electronic money/payment platform look like?
Years ago telegraph lines and telephone lines were very susceptible to disruption via storms, now with underground lines, submarine cables and cell towers, the likelihood of disruption is far less. It is more likely in the next 10 years that a disaster like #sandy would restrict the movement of physical cash to supply ATM machines, than paying at a battery driven point-of-sale unit with mobile wireless access.When Wells Fargo and Western Union used horses to deliver messages and cash from East to West, the telegraph wire would have seemed flimsy and hopelessly fragile compared with the fastest horses and stage coaches, and yet, these old methods were quickly understood to be just inefficient and outdated as the new system showed it's capability. The concept that physical cash might be more robust in a disaster scenario, won't ultimately slow the progress of electronic payments one iota. The old cash-based payment networks will wane because on a day-to-day basis 99% of the time, they are massively more efficient and give the benefit of much greater utility.
How powerful is an 8 gauge shotgun shell?
So powerful they are not allowed for sporting use. Wells - Fargo used to issue them to their stage coach guards. If you imagine a small soup can that is about four inches high, that is about the size of the cartridge.I doubt any modern manufacturer makes them any more, as they are not in use. Most in existence are older Damascus or “twist steel” barrels, subject to cracks in the welded barrels, especially where rust has eaten between the Damascus welds or the wire wrap welds. So, if you found an old 8 ga, it would likely be unsafe to shoot unless you took it and had the “Magnaflux” inspection (Magnetic particle inspection - Wikipedia) done on it to check for cracks and weaknesses, which could be expensive, plus, even then, it would be dangerous to shoot with anything but black powder, as smokeless makes a LOT more pressure. See: 8 bore - WikipediaThe largest you will see in modern use is the 10 ga, which is used mainly for waterfowl, especially larger geese (Canada, White Fronted, Greylag in Europe) or ducks at longer distances. With the conversion to steel and nontoxic shot, the 10 gauge is preferred due to the heavier shot charge and greater power to project lighter shot.Still, the 10 is said to be “lethal at both ends”.
Why do people call the passenger seat shotgun?
When the American Central plains and western seaboard ( or “west” as known in popular culture) was taken over by settlers who went to American mainland from european countries , Stagecoach was the vehicle of choice for the settling families to move westwards .Not only stagecoaches moved families , they carried money in form of silver bullion , so as to pay salary to the govt. employees , mainly in postal services , banks and police . No doubt , they were the prime target of the bandits and robbers who thought they can get away with the crime , as the thousands of miles of roads connecting east to west were almost unguarded and means of communications non existent . In order to secure the stagecoach the person sitting beside the driver normally carried a Shotgun , most often a “coach gun” ( a double barrelled shotgun with barrels cut down to reduce its length to make it more maneuverable ) , as handguns were useless due to their shorter range and Rifles needed to be aimed accurately which was not possible while shooting from stagecoach running over rudimentary / potholed roads . Shotgun became the weapon of choice to ward off bandits and / native Americans due to its longer range ( compared to handguns ) and being comparatively easier to deploy rather than the rifles when confronted with threat . With the passage of time anyone who was sitting as a passenger besides the driver’s seat came to be known as “Riding shotgun” .hope that helps .
What’s the future of tires? Will we eventually not have to replace our car tires?
Tires are an ablative material that flexes to provide shock absorbsion and grip to the road.No, you will always be having to replace your tires because if they were made of a smoother material, then you would loose the ashesive or stickiness properties of the rubber , and could use something like steel on steel like the railroads do.But they have to repair wheels and tires on the locomotives as well.There is no ‘perfect’ matching surface , where there is no losses somewhere. In the case of tires and road, both eventually need replacing, whiles tires wear out quicker.
What was the name of the U.S. mail service that used horses?
The Pony Express operated from 1860 to 1861, and was useful as a way of tying California to the other states. It was superceded by the telegraph. After the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, mail was handled chiefly by rail, but up to then it was carried by stagecoach; Wells Fargo had the contract. Even after the railroad took over long-distance mail movement, however, stage coaches continued to carry the mail to outlying areas.All those centuries that the post coach (because it travelled from post to post) carried the mail are generally not remarked on because of the short-lived romantic glory of the Pony Express. But it all involved horses, right up to the advent of a reliable system of roads that allowed motorized transportation to take over the task.There's an excellent article about the Pony Express on Wikipedia that will give you details about the route, the riders and the horses.
