Buying a device that isn't running stock firmware from Facebook marketplace sounds like a great way to end up with a pocket full of malware. No way I'd be using that for banking.

The prerequisite of a laptop or desktop is literally stated on your website. It's apparently so easy you don't know how to tell people how to do it.

I have one device, a smartphone.

"You need a USB cable for attaching the device to a laptop or desktop."
Who even has a "laptop" or a "desktop" nowadays? We all just use phones. Why do you need a USB cable? You want me to find two cans and some string too? My phone connects with WiFi or Bluetooth and charges wirelessly, I don't use cables. It's not the 1990s anymore. Why can't they bother to get that install working directly from the phone like an app store?

What? I thought I was the only one to pair pineapple and anchovies on pizza. It was a sure fire way to make sure no one else ever stole it.

I find myself in possession of around 7.5kg of Wood's Metal, an alloy of bismuth, lead, cadmium and tin, with a melting point of 70°C.
Any project ideas?

You'd probably've liked Blakes "Wine Bar" back in the day. The place is up for sale at the moment and if I had a spare £550k I'd buy it and turn it back into the den of inequity it always should have stayed.

She must have been really proud of you for always getting shit done instead of backing down when things got tough. Your posts have caused me to shed a tear more than once over the past week or so.

If anyone can make use of any parts of me to help others, by reusing me for partd proving or disproving a treatment works, or advancing knowledge for the greater good in any field then I give them full permission. Thank you for fighting, at the hardest time, to help people you'll probably never know. Thanks to your mum for helping those in the future.
