While recently visiting my daughter in Canada, she sometimes texts from downstairs my teenage granddaughter who is up in her room.

Seems truly bizarre to me.

Maybe when Elon gets his AI robot working with conversational voice recognition and the ability to fill in our forms we can get them trained to do all this legwork for us and just show up like we used to when all the preliminaries are dealt with? Life is soooo much easier in the digital age.
One could only hope.
Wait! Are we training the robots, or are the robots training us?

It's the setup for automatic payments of bills, Lencho. For some unknown reason, now these automatic payments or municipal tax payments get refused when you register a credit card with either a Canadian 5 digit code or the local residence 5 digit postal code. On immediate payments at both Telcel and Hughesnet, it accepts the same card with the 6 digit local residence postal code. For the municipal taxes we can now do the SPEI transfer as we now have a Mexican bank account.
It's a programming thing that used to exist as well when we paid for items on a lot of US sites, but they had a workaround by entering zeroes in place of the letters and adding another zero. Most US payment sites now accept the Canadian 5 digit alphanumerical, but not these Mexican sites...yet.

Six-digit postal codes in Mexico? :?:

That's a new one for me... care to provide some examples?



Sorry Lencho...5 digit Mexican codes, 6 digit alphanumeric Canadian
