And you know what, I used to think oven thermostats were pretty reliable honestly. I figured if you set it to 350 it was 350 inside, no question. Then I got a cheap oven thermometer from Amazon and found out my old oven was running 25 degrees cold. That explained why my banana bread was always a little doughy in the middle even when the edges looked perfect. Now I keep that thermometer right on the middle rack and check it every time I bake.

Man I did the exact same thing last summer except I woke up at 4am to a 160 degree firebox and cold meat.

Busses and buses are different things, just saying.

Come on, you have to look at this from the bank's side. A $12 recurring payment to some random new place is exactly how fraudsters test stolen accounts. They do small, weird amounts first to see if the card works before they drain it. Your bank's algorithm flagged you for protection, not to be annoying. Sitting on hold for 45 minutes is way better than waking up to your entire paycheck gone. Plus, you set up this weird little donation without telling anyone. The bank doesn't know you from Adam, they just see a pattern that looks like a scammer warming up a stolen card. Blaming them for being careful is like blaming a car alarm for going off when someone jiggles the door handle. You should be happy they're paying attention at all.

At least your router gave you a head start on that Russian vacation fund.
