How did it fail?

Yeah, but while they might not be convinced, some stranger that needs this information may stumble across it -- and it may do them good to read it. ADHD is no joke and stimulant medications are vitally important, as one component, in the treatment of ADHD.

With their track record of discontinuing products I wouldn’t dream of signing up, even if it were offered and amazing. Who knows when the rug would be pulled out from under my fiscal feet?

How does one even get a list of dropped domains to populate this database? This is something I really have no knowledge about.

As per your link and also Wikipedia, Ryanair doesn’t operate any 737 MAX yet, but have placed orders for them.

Debt collectors calling and having your credit score dinged isn’t the definition of violence.

Particularly for those living in Europe, or those that have a lot of international friends - all with phone numbers from different countries - it's a godsend. My phone bill would be ridiculous if I were texting my friends in Sweden or Brazil from my Dutch SIM. iMessage for similar reasons.

Also the group messages are great. My housemates and I all talk via a WhatsApp group. It makes it far easier to hold a coherent group conversation when some of us aren't at home. SMS would be a ballache.

Oh and GIFs, voice messages, and videos can be sent in messages. Free calling too. I can call my friends in Australia for nothing, and it's not a bullshit experience like Skype.

I almost never send true blue SMS any longer.

I've tried it out and it appears to stream them, however, there's an option to cache the videos locally.

Plug the phone in with a cable, and drag them into te Tunes folder on the device. There doesn't seem to be any way to delete them now though!

Instagram has a long history of copying Snapchat, so Snapchat copied Instagram's interface/features as a joke for April Fool's Day.

If you were to do it again in a different country, where would you choose?

Cultural issues aside, Germany needs to make it easy and inexpensive to start, run, and close a business if it wants to compete. At the moment it seems to be a bureaucratic burden. Unfortunately Germany isn't an anomaly in this regard in Europe.
