Sorry how much??? I think we pay like 7/800€ property tax yearly on a house worth about 400k€… I thought US had low taxes.

My field is littered with these gurus that sell you their courses… I think anything remotely “sexy” has them…

Fingers needed to remain mission-critical levels of clean for one reason or another, but the donut was also too tempting, and boom, fork-donut.

Yeah I used one on rental while camping and I have to say it was great. I hear some European alternatives are coming, looking forward to them, hopefully they also work out ways to do it that doesn’t involve as much space pollution.

Yes that’s correct, I’ve worked in the field, when you place an order online there’s a workflow triggered in the background between your bank, the vendor and visa/Mastercard in the case of credit cards. When you place the order, an authorization is placed on the card, at that stage it goes through a few checks (balance, fraud checks, creation of the transaction ID, etc). If it’s successful, it’ll move to a pending status, at this point it’s just an authorization, during this time the company will prepare your order for shipping. Once it ships, the authorisation gets converted to a settlement, which is when money actually starts getting transferred. Even then it’ll take a few more days for the banks to actually process the transaction before the vendor can refund it.

Of course, this is all just the way it’s done, I’m not saying it’s the right one. Companies use this process because it’s nice and safe, guarantees you won’t be losing money through the cracks, but nothing would stop them from just refunding before this whole transaction shenanigans is fine, they just take more risk.

Hmm that’s interesting… Let me know if you find it again, would you be interested in converting it in a short film script?

I also still have my really old one but I got a couple others, one of which is the current “official” one, the old one is way too compromised lmao. But it looks normal, not a crazy gamer tag or whatever.

But I don’t have my very first one anymore, that was a “caramail” one I can’t even remember what it was but it must’ve surely been extremely cringe.

In my country private insurance is way higher on Teslas than other models already, apparently a mix of them being valuable, high risk of accident/theft, and impossible to repair from small fender benders driving cost of replacements up.

Mdr

Yeah I remember it, and it also shocked me more than any gory vids I’d watched before. It’s been a long long time since I’ve been seeking that kind of content… I think this one was particularly heartbreaking just due to how seemingly random it was, one second you’re happily driving around not a care in the world and the next your loved one has been obliterated right next to you… And the screams, for sure…

Viticulteurs are the people making the wine, œnologues are the expert taste-masters, and finally you have the sommeliers which work at restaurants or in the caves. (I totally understand you were just making a light hearted joke but felt like sharing).

They just wanted to point out they noticed the username somehow.

Diabolo!

Quark yogurts are your friend, I get some that have 25g of protein per serving for only around 130cal, I top them with a bit of muesli so they’re less boring and the whole snack is then like 180/190cal and way more filling and more protein than a bar with similar calories (they’re already flavoured as well)…

In a way, that’s true of most of us.

It looks like how I drew cars when I was 5 years old (who am I kidding, it would probably still look like that if I attempted to draw one today).

Definitely nostalgia, it was great as a kid with lots of content to get lost in imagination, and the kick-assery of it all, but I watch it again a bit with my kid and it’s objectively a hard watch.

Aren’t fluids and gases kinda the same thing in some aspects, just different mass? (Clearly, not a scientist).

It’s definitely made that accurate/creepy for marketing reasons, they’re probably hoping this will help them get investors. I would also assume you can simplify the human body design a good bit before losing the functionality we actually want from something like this.

Man I used to go out all night on maybe 1/10th that budget haha, say 10/30€ on class As, 10€ on pregame drinks, 10€ on club entrance (then on water all night). But I have a friend that spent similarly on night outs and also uses it the same way you do as justification.
