Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Huh. To be honest, I wouldn't know what to use it for. Most shops here don't accept them, and if someone paid me with one, I'd probably have to contact my bank, since they don't have any automated facilities for cashing them.
They just seem like an artifact from a bygone era.
i know right? who the fuck even takes a cheque now?
my friend in Canada was trying to send me money and we ended up using a check. also my landlord from two apartments ago refused to take rent any other way. she was very old
cheques are definitely still a thing in canada (companies still use them for one-off payments and landlords still use them to collect rent) and you can now deposit them by taking a picture with your phone.
you can do that in the uk too (because nobody can be bothered otherwise and the volume is so low)
