I don't use numeric keypads. I have a standalone thinkpad keyboard for my desktop too, come to think of it :D
Because a chip+PIN transaction requires the card to be physically connected. (I meant the PIN for the card, not for your phone)

No, if the clearing house won't accept the transaction contactless at that level, you have to use a real bank card and put it in and use your PIN.

The limit varies by clearing house. In the UK it's possible that the limit is super-high if you unlock your phone with two-factor first. I've spent over a hundred pounds in one contactless transaction with my phone.

I use g-pay all the time, linked to both my main bank account and to my day-to-day card. Sometimes it doesn't work, but that's rare these days. Certainly I encounter more "cash only" places in Germany than I encountered places which took contactless but not g-pay.

I'd say "x cubed" :D (But I'd also say "x to the four" "x to the tenth" etc. I'm inconsistent :D)

"when prepared according to instructions" should dammed well include the food items in the instructions. I'm 300kcal off on my estimates of tonight's dinner. Argh

Sadly the one I love the most is one I wrote for some non-public software. What I love the most about it is that I wrote a Rust proc-macro to generate them so they're typesafe :D
