And OCI. Any US based company is subject to the CLOUD act.

Most EU countries are single payer healthcare. Businesses develop the software, but it’s vetted by a government entity before acceptance.

I’ve experienced physical violence at the hands of 2 of my 3 long term partners. I swear some women think that if you’re a fairly big man, it’s fair game to hurt you. In reality my pain tolerance is average or below. I can take a hit, but holy hell does a near full force bite hurt.

Neither was an isolated incident either. Both were repeat offenders. Both claim I was violent when I’ve never done more than just block attacks. I’m not a violent person, I spent time at the gym bulking up to avoid fights in the first place, being a former bullying victim. My last ex knew all about my trauma, but got mad as shit when I accidentally hurt her wrist blocking an attack from her exactly one time. This after I had told her multiple times that if she kept trying, my self defense reflex might kick in at some point. Every time I told her to please be less violent, she brought that one time up and said I’m worse than her.

Even in my tiny country. Small town bus makes stop if you stand up or someone’s waiting, capital city bus makes every stop, other city bus needs to be prompted by the light.

So I definitely missed my stop first time I took the bus in the other city lol

Ah, better than what we have in Estonia then

EID and equivalents are great for a lot of things, but do you want your porn site to know who you are? The new app is supposed to verify your age but not give out your PII. Not sure eID can do that?

Nobody is going to rush to implement a payment system where the fees can change 5x hour to hour because that’s just customer dissatisfaction waiting to happen.

But it’s not variable so the seller prices it in. Switch to Bitcoin and you have to pay it while prices likely stay the same. Also lately most of my games have been under 30 EUR tbh

A dollar in fees is a dollar more than with fiat for the person paying. That and do you expect enough normal people to learn about L2s and chains to make it worthwhile for Valve or whoever to implement support for anything besides the main chains of 2-3 major cryptos and stablecoins on ethereum main?

But you also want to get humidity out of air so it’s still a perk

Might work better where it’s more humid. Might bring humidity to more bearable levels if you have a lot of them?

You can run absolutely anything as a docker container that you have the binary (and other files if needed), or you can go fancy and compile from source in docker.

Just create a dockerfile.

From (some base image you want to use like Ubuntu or Alpine)

Copy necessary files

Run the binary

You can run it straight from command line, put it in a docker compose file, or even tag it and upload it to a repository (and then reference that in your docker compose)

They are, but it’s an aussie doing the lobbying to get them to do this

I live in a country praised for its IT industry, digital government and whatever

I got off ADSL in 2024. Fucking lol. I don’t even live on a farm or anything. Lucky to receive fiber though, now they want to prioritize 5G home connections instead.

Two coupes and a gran coupe.

And they’re way too thin to be Americans lol, also the entire group looks Asian

Not very big cars and they’re not Americans.

Grass does look weird though

Buddy. You’re a whole lot more racist than I am.

Hmm, must not be a nice person then

With 8 or 9 speeds, you still never really leave that ideal torque band while driving, no modern engine is so peaky that you’re off peak torque after 100 rpm. The rubber banding sounds/feels weird to me too, even though it’s not inherently bad.

Turbo cars in particular have very long flat torque curves.

Also, what IS the sweet spot? Just like on an auto, it’s software that determines what ratio to use in a CVT. Software is not infallible. Sure they test it, but at the end of the day there’s several factors to balance. There is no “ideal”.

Seriously. If you’re looking for a new car, don’t discount them. Research them. They swap the ZF 8HP into monstrous builds now because of its ability to take shit and its ability to put power into the wheels. ZF engineers managed to make it shift better, have more gears, be more fuel efficient… and at the same time, be more reliable AND contain fewer parts than their outgoing 6 speed. The 9G-tronic is just as good if not better, but only available in Mercedes and very few other cars (Nissan 400Z, Astons). I had one and it made my 2 liter 143kW diesel feel faster than my current remapped 3 liter diesel around 200ish kW.

For my next automotive mishap, I’m considering either the ZF or Aisin 8 speed mated to a V8. Haven’t tried the newer Aisin box yet, but the 6 speed in my first gen Cayenne S was the most solid part of the car lol. I’ve got two terrible ideas and one great idea lined up but since the great idea is a Lexus, it means twice the fuel consumption and less comfort than the horrible ideas. The Lexy is also available as a hybrid with CVT and more power but everyone said its the worse car despite being way more expensive than the 8 speed auto non-hybrid

Yeah, but then you give PayPal a whole bunch of control over your bank account. IIRC they can just withdraw whenever they want?

With card payments, there’s chargebacks for fraudulent transfers or if a vendor refuses a refund on fraudulent grounds. Those are just not a thing for bank transfers, at least not where I come from.

Personally, most of the time I make a payment, it’s a bank transfer (they’re instant most of the time anyway between SEPA accounts and under 10k per transfer or whatever). But there are many benefits of a card payment. Others include: Collecting points (on credit cards in some countries, or something like a Revolut card on any plan other than the free one), purchase insurance, etc.

People are always going to want to make card payments. We need better alternatives in the card company space, and standards to make sure every vendor can accept payments from every card type.

Ah, but in Java, unless they’ve changed things lately, you have the curly brace syntax of most C-like languages

if ("strawberry" in token_list) {
    return something;
}

Python is one of the very few languages where you use colons and whitespace to denote blocks of code
