I don't know about @cartman82's country, but here most ATMs normally dispense $20 bills. Getting any larger denomination would be a surprise; I certainly wouldn't expect a $100 bill, even if withdrawing $100. Many businesses won't accept anything larger than a $20, and $50 bills are very uncommon; I suspect a lot of minimum-wage cashiers have never seen one and would refuse it, even if the store does accept bills larger than $20, so I would expect the $50s would be more difficult to use than the $20s he was expecting, or even a more common $100 bill.

There are some annoying ATMs in my area that only dispense in multiples of $40 for some reason. I can't fathom why.

@FrostCat said in The Official Status Thread:

I have, on rare occasions, seen ATMs that allow one to withdraw multiples of $10, so presumably they dispense $10 bills, but I have literally never seen an ATM that offered a choice of denominations. If any have had that as an option, it's been rather less discoverable than
's keyboard shortcuts.

The very first one I ever saw in the 80s would let you cycle through a bunch of choices with 5s, 10s and 20s.

It's just a little jarring because I've never seen it before.
How would you react to your Start Menu suddenly containing "Tiles" for your programs instead of "Icons"?

Of course not, because he's not a mind reader and thus can only infer from the words that were posted.

Yeah, Enterprise is supposedly for the machines that don't ever change. They're one step away from being Critical LOB Servers.
This is why I was surprised at the UI changes when I provisioned a VM yesterday, since my main machine has been the same for a year due to it's proud status of LTSB installation.

Status: New toy arrived!
For all three of you who might care: Smoant Knight V1, can push up to 60W and has all the TC modes you might wish for. It's positively tiny considering (spare banana-yellow 18650 for scale), but quite hefty (it's heavier than that two-battery Cuboid monstrosity!).
Combined with Joyetech Cubis Pro, which is not the best choice TBQH since only one air vent is exposed, it's really designed for bottom airflow atomizers, but since I kept it at 50% airflow until now I just open it fully and it works for me. The nice thing about Cubis Pro is that I can fill it up without removing it from the mod since it's top-filled. I'll have to take it out for coil changing purposes though, since I just can't get enough grip to unscrew it since it's so deeply embedded into the mod.
Overall, nice and cheap little mod if you want something that you can carry around easily, but consider potential atomizer airflow problems (and don't buy the kit, the atomizer is a bit shit, apparently).

Told you to buy a Melo, top-filled, bottom-vent and doesn't require taking apart for refilling.
As for the mod, that's a weird design. Atomizers in my experience are sturdy enough not to need that bit of metal.

@Maciejasjmj said in The Official Status Thread:

I did manage to break one, so, eh, YMMV. Although, to be quite fair, the (temporary) arrangement I used wasn't really the best (long, thin atomizer on top of Vaporesso Target, ugh)
Melo looked OK but I couldn't buy it locally, so when I broke that previous one I just grabbed something I could find in the store, which was the Cubis.

Maybe if you're using one of those usury third-party ATMs in a mall that's effectively a "fuck you, give me fees" machine.
Any ATM I've ever used (first party via the bank) is full services, including deposits.
