They even stopped selling McHash in Sweden like over a year ago. The only thing that I’d have any desire to eat from their breakfast menu, and they kill it. I even asked their support why they killed it, and I got no real explanation.

I thought that it’s maybe to be able to clean out their deep fryer? Nah, as they still sell normal french fries during breakfast!

Pour E621 on your food, put your fries into beef fat, and then put even more salt on it.

What do you mean? It’s not just a name change, it’s a whole new company with seemingly new owners every time.

I’ve also checked how much it costs to rent there, and they would need to cut over 200 heads per month simply to cover rent. If you throw in a poverty-level salary for a single person, the heads required will triple.

Of course nothing definite, but it sure is a weird cycle.

My town has like 20+ different barbershops within a couple blocks from each other. They only do the most basic mens haircuts, rarely have any customers, cheap, and cash-only. The business usually lasts for a little over a year, and then suddenly they get some new signage… and another barbershop is reborn! All using similar stock image logos as well.

I went to one a couple years back and I had to basically buzzcut myself to be presentable again.

Yeah, if someone’s livechatting with support to get help with something, I don’t see why they’d answer anything other than “now please”? It’d be different if “when’s a good time for us to send a technician to your house?” or such… it feels like the question is just asking to get annoyed responses from customers.

“apparently it was a total mess, the driver won’t share the dashcam footage for that very reason” nonsense.

Great build quality though, can’t even open the driver’s door anymore!!!

So your assumption is that “lots of people are rich from making art”, and not “many people trying to do art professionally have that opportunity due to their generational wealth”?

Now it’ll go much better for «Vkusno i tochka»!

Success breeds jealousy, or something like that!

Another side is that you’re also bound to their agreement. If the law firm was too soft on them, tough luck.

In an ideal world, we’d have government agencies prosecuting illegal stuff (and putting huge fines back into the economy) instead of hoping that private law firms will do a class action, but oh well.

Is the odometer not recorded when having yearly inspections? Or do people cheat it before those as well?

Cloudflare doesn’t really have a straightforward way as an end-user to see detailed information about their blocks and such. But I’d recommend checking your IP on Project Honeypot, CF utilizes such lists for some of their WAF stuff.

Aktiebolaget Volvo also owns Renault Trucks, but I don’t think that’s very popular in the US.

This is not to be confused with Volvo Personvagnar Aktiebolaget (“Volvo Cars”), as Volvo Cars was sold off Zhejiang Geely in 2010.

In many other places with functional healthcare systems, the response might be “let’s get you started on haloperidol”…

So basically all your shipping companies suck there – except for the one that’s a federal self-funded agency? Weird.

I think one of the bigger problems is that Americans expect their stuff to be left right at their door, instead of them doing the last-mile themselves. Particularly if you live in a bigger city, taking a short walk to a packet locker or service point is so much more convenient for everyone.

comply with the US banking secrecy laws

You mean US banking disclosure laws, right? Such as FATCA.

Long story short: The test worked. We found out what that system was used for. Rather quickly.

But what was it used for?!?!? What a cliffhanger.

Maybe a few, if Beetlejuice is playing…

There’s normally two different fees when doing a card payment: the interchange fee (Visa, Mastercard, and the couple others), and the processing fee (Square, Stripe, PayPal, whatever).

Nowadays, interchange fees are capped to like 0.3% in the EU, but this wasn’t always the case. And for non-EU, the interchange fees are usually much higher.

So even if both a store and their payment processor is EU-based, Visa/MC is still giving at least 0.3% of your payment sum in most cases.

…so that he’ll need to be driven by you to be able to hang out with any of his friends? Sorry, I don’t really understand.
