She’s also free to get an appointment in another country. Here’s the pricing for uninsured patients in a hospital in my country. What she needs is:

• Y60273 Mammograafia, kaks rinnanääret 2 sihis 28.00 €

It can get pretty expensive here too without insurance (which you can get by having a job, or having a <3yo kid, or being retired, or being disabled, or being unemployed but registering so you’re officially looking for a job). Major surgeries will cost thousands of euros. But simple procedures that should be cheap, are cheap.

How much money does a McDonald’s employee in the US make to be in the 90% tax bracket? I’m jealous.

Hey let’s be fair here

They were bullshit clickbait long before they were AI generated

Website requires login every time, apps for most banks here have biometrics for transfers under a certain limit or people you send money to often.

I can’t imagine using either of those solutions every day, sometimes several times per day.

I made 3 transfers yesterday, but there have been days of 10-20 transfers and I don’t always have them planned, often it’s pretty spontaneous when we buy used things from other people, particularly strangers.

How do I send people money without a bank? Okay maybe Wise but as you pointed out in the other thread, that money might not be insured. Also, iPhones are harder to unlock from before first unlock than many stock Androids.

Shit now I wanna know what the original comment was

I agree, but the other commenter specifically was saying that it’s a case of do or do not, there is no try.

Sure, but my point was if you can’t even use ROMs because then you lose access to your bank (and now McD apparently), there’s much less reason to use Android - certainly was so 2.5 years ago when they were mostly all promising 2-3 years of support for flagship devices and Apple had a track record of 6-7 years.

Turns out it’s not an actual bank in the EU either, they just give you an IBAN number and everything.

However, funds in EU are still insured at 20k per account and since they’re not a bank, they can’t be giving out subprime mortgages using your money like banks do, they have to keep it as safe as possible.

It’s not for privacy. But without access to custom ROMs, Android is shit.

Your effect on people opting NOT to eat less meat because you’re trying to moralize them is going to outdo your personal contribution at least 10 to 1, maybe 100 to 1 if you interact with enough people.

Okay, then I might as well just keep eating as much meat as I do now though? If we have to be perfect and most people aren’t going to be perfect, there’s no point in even trying.

Or maybe get off your high horse, accept that humanity isn’t perfect, and try to get people to eat less meat first, then worry about getting them to eat no meat at all. 50% of people doing 70% of what they should is more useful than 10% doing 100%.

So the Play Integrity API is literally why I moved to iOS. My bank apps didn’t work with Lineage and the stock OnePlus ROM just sucked ass after the ColorOS or whatever update. I figured I might as well go iOS if I can’t have a custom ROM anyway, and so far it has indeed been a much nicer experience than stock Android. If you can’t TRULY customize everything, might as well at least get stability and consistency out of it, right? Plus at the time, there wasn’t a single Android OEM out there with truly long OS update support.

Anyway, if this succeeds and custom ROMs are considered to have sound integrity, I might just move back to Android. Graphene seems cool, I haven’t tried it yet because I’ve never owned a Pixel.

Wise has a banking license in Belgium much like Revolut has one in Lithuania.

Wise is missing some cool things Revolut has like metal cards that require you to use an expensive plan, or the ability to buy stocks and crypto.

What Wise has instead, is the ability to have both a REAL American AND European bank account in the same app, which you can instantly transfer money between. Revolut doesn’t give you an American bank account if you’re in Europe, idk if they give you an European bank account if you’re in the US. But Wise has both.

Why is this so important? Well let’s say you’re in Europe, you land a side gig doing a bit of work for a big US corporation you’re connected to through your old job. You’ve got your rate negotiated, everything’s sweet. And then they hit you with the question: “Are you able to take ACH payments?”

Now you have to google what an ACH payment is. Then you have to find out how to be able to receive them. Turns out these are internal to the US. Banks outside of the US just don’t accept them, because they’re not part of the system. But wait! Wise actually gives you an actual US bank account complete with routing numbers and everything. In your name, not in some proxy’s name either.

Here’s a list of currencies/banking systems you can get local payments in, without going international

Yes I sound like an advertisement at this point, but it’s ridiculous how useful this gets if you need to move money internationally. I didn’t get all the hype before I needed it, but when I did, it fit my use case like a glove.

Entirely different country, but they still have a counter in addition to the screens; the counter is for when you want to pay cash

shooter and ceo were closer in class than the shooter and working class

Ah, good ol’ “anyone who makes enough money to pay rent is part of the capitalist class, not the working class”

I posted this elsewhere, but this is one of the few times I buy the conspiracy theory, not the official story.

Dude pulls off a targeted assassination, gets away clean, trolls the cops with a bag of monopoly money, gets out of the state, stays essentially hidden for almost a week… And then gets clocked by some poor maccas employee and gets taken in with a manifesto AND a gun on his person?

It’s the nazi flag and 3 copies of The Sims all over again, except this time the folks doing it are slightly more competent and actually pulled it off.

This case is so important, so high profile, that they just need to arrest someone ASAP. Anyone. And that person is not in for a good time.

If it operates like an agency, it’s already at a disadvantage because the real profit is being made by someone else anyway. Otherwise it’s a neat idea.

You don’t hire an agency to break even, you hire an agency to work on projects you assume will bring you profit. In my industry in particular, you might hire some agency employees, spend a few hundred thousand a year, to help finish a product that will rake in tens of millions a year, or to create some internal tooling that saves you millions in employee productivity.
