This has been one of my favorite things about the 9 months I've spent this last year in western Europe and Asia. Everything is mended and fixed, both in shops and by day-to-day individuals.

Love it.


I love this so much.


"...and they probably met online." That's really gonna need some citation. Given the rise of online dating to cultural acceptance is only within the last decade or so (sorry no source, I'm not a journalist :p), I find it incredibly unlikely that those family units have surpassed offline meets in number so as to make "probably" accurate.


This is why I read harpers.


Stamps.com requires a PHONE CALL to cancel. PHONE. in 2019.


And ever forward we do march, the death of personal responsibility.


>Well if you didn't want to be billed you should have waited on hold for 45 minutes and argued with a person whose bonus was unaffected by whether you agreed to continue or hung up in frustration

No u


Yeah, this. We've been out of the US for a year now, works everywhere we've been (except Vietnam, though that worked out okay too because Hangouts has calls/text). Can't imagine having to hassle with a new sim every new country, esp with there being 5 of us.


I've thought about the idea of creating a 'global MVNO'. Like a plan with multiple foreign numbers being bound to one SIM, and being able to roam seamlessly and pay a fixed rate + reasonable usage fees.

For example, someone in finance could have a UK and US number on a single SIM, and easily move back and forth. Or the same for KR and JP or US and MX.

Not sure if there is a large enough market for that.


For a lot of us we started with it, and once you know it, if it meets your needs, switching doesn't make sense.

Does now though [walks into corner growling] :/


Did so many people use SpatialOS?


The new terms are undesirable for any kind of multiplayer game, not just those using SpatialOS.


Illegal is the wrong word, but still, fuck. My game uses dedicated servers built on Unity. Seems this applies even to me. Kinda shitty.


Yes, breach of contract is more accurate. The lesson is make sure your product doesn't depend on clickwrap terms that can be changed at any time.


The general concept becomes much more interesting when applied to spoken languages.
