I think what OP may also be asking for are travel benefits. As it stands, EU citizens with an EU passport have extremely powerful benefits when travelling within + outside the EU.

I just wish we had an inter-ocean train…

Sadly appears to be subscription only :(

True to all your points; for me personally, pods work best. I find powder always leaves residue, and my water is hot enough so I know that’s not the issue…

RE: environmental concerns, do remember that grand scheme it’s 50 companies doing most polutting. And indeed using powders is better (tho one can argue wrt phosphates and results from that, but I guess just don’t use Finish then)

I’ll tldr this without even watching the video:

• Spotify is not paying artists enough / not paying artists at all if streams are under a certain amount; the gist is it’s industry fuckery though at play
• Spotify CEO is funding a military company
• Some people are fed up with music they like being removed from the platform, whether by the artist or otherwise.
• Plus above, increased move to ownership/physical media as people realize continued monthly costs are not worth it.

He’s actually wrong, the testing was off: https://foxchapelresearch.substack.com/p/draft-no-green-llama-did-not-just

Who doesn’t spend $500 a month these days?

First off just to say this reply feels very privileged, there’s folks that can barely afford $100 in groceries a month… let alone 4K a month in deposits… is the card realistically for them? Maybe not. But still…

TY for the info on the card, I forgot that the Cash card is more like a debit card and doesn’t add to your Credit Score.

Only a no brainer if you can make the $10/mth fee back in cash-back ($500 in purchases?), or if you’re Premium or higher. Otherwise why not use the Mastercard Cash account card?

Unrelated but during 2022 COVID times I was accosted by someone while in a supermarket, simply for performing the act of touching several bananas and not buying them (checking for brown spots).

They said “Why do you touch all the bananas with your bare hands!!”

I replied back as they walked away “Do you eat the peel as well as the fruit???”

that puritanical shit lmao who said anything about this being religious? I don’t follow anything.

It’s called “being queer & careful with your partner; getting STI tests, getting to know each other, adjusting to each other’s rhythm”

sheesh…

Yall weird as hell. Ever heard of taking it slow?

These idiot boomers fell for the facebook propaganda.

Underconsumption is cooler than a tax break.

Would love real wood if I wasn’t so deathly afraid of bedbugs. The risk is too high, especially with used wood furniture having all sorts of small nooks and holes maybe even in areas that can’t be seen.

It is sadly also more convenient for me to order IKEA stuff delivered than doing a carshare ride out to it (the Montreal one is so far and way out of the way from downtown / west core)

I absolutely loved Rhodes and am so so so eager to return. Would love to visit Lesbos and Milos too.

but yes agree on Santorini, and Mykonos, both lovely but very over toured.

many people live in the suburbs which are not mixed zone areas; hence most stock up at supermarkets etc since getting there can be a 15-30 minute drive, let alone walking/biking.

it’s an excuse for an occasion to get together with friends/family. that’s it.

Yes but it varies store to store. you could also submit a corporate complaint and hope they reply with a coupon of some sort…

What purpose does japan have for this ammonia in the end? what do they use it for?
