I dunno if OP was complaining necessarily - there are a lot of cool stories to be read in the old threads too!

I had a pretty similar experience with skype. I lost access to my connected email account and was essentially locked out of my account forever - repeated emails to support were met with silence, alas! Then I connected my facebook account to use skype instead... then they discontinued support for that. Now it's got to a point where attempting to create a new account on the OSX desktop version just shows an error screen every time, so I'm stuck unable to use skype forever. I've moved on to other, better solutions, naturally :)

Glad to see this here! Modern Day Babylon are great for those looking for instrumental work in the same sphere as the above. Disperse as well - Jakub Zytecki is a fantastic guitarist and features on a lot of David Maxim Micic's work.

I had a similar experience with an authorised repair place - my keyboard went on the blink (as has been reportedly recently with all the touchbar MBPs. Upon opening it they found a coffee stain from where I had spilt coffee on it months before. Their response "we can't fix it sorry, Apple wouldn't allow it"...

Moreover, Ireland was the fastest-recovering nation financial crisis, driven undoubtedly in part by its preferential corporate tax rates

Compared to the other budget providers (Easyjet, Flybe [who frankly, aren't even budget prices]), they're miles ahead. The Easyjet routes I used to fly regularly were late every single time, and a member of airport staff told me ~50% of Easyjet flights were delayed in that particular airport. While Ryanair is certainly super basic, and they take every opportunity to sell you tat, they've been far more consistent and far cheaper than the alternatives in my experience

Is it not the female equivalent of "this dude"?

edit: seems that's how the author intended it

None of the people in the videos had a remotely British accent, am I missing something?

I feel the Dutch are a lot more casual about it and less grumpy. Germans are direct when unhappy about something ("don't be so loud", "get your feet of the seats"), but are much more likely to stare disapprovingly. Dutch are also more direct when talking about themselves/their feelings - you would never hear a German say "my new haircut looks great"

As a tourist who has attempted to learn the language, I've been told to "please just speak English" nearly all of the times I've tried it (much to my dismay!)

How does a phone ban stop this from happening? Not to mention the challenge of actually enforcing it. I suspect the kids who want to take pictures of others and upload them mockingly will still do it.

>Perhaps not the best choice of words from the OP, but look up premature sexualization and psychological trauma.

Existence of it is hardly grounds for mass hysteria - this smacks of 'will somebody please think of the children'.

>I can't really think of many reasons why you would use crypto to pay for a coffee or a sandwich if you live in the West (or frankly, even most developing nations).

Credit card companies/banks sell your transaction data for a lot of money, and plenty of unscrupulous players can garner a lot about your life from such data. While BTC is only pseudonymous, it can provide some shielding from this.
