One of the many things I find weird when visiting America is their awful tipping culture.
I don’t to be asked every 5 minutes by the waiter if I need my water topped up or if my fries are still warm enough. Leave me alone.
And I certainly don’t want them knowing anything about me. Ewww.
I get plenty good service in non tipping countries without bribing the waiters.

Well the the AUD:USD still sucks. 0.65
Hasn’t really budged much in a couple of years.

No, he means C# .net

Yet the story before is now Americans are scammed out of 44Billion/year in banking fraud. There’s just going to increasing work for CS capable people as the world goes all in on digital everything just trying to keep it all working.

USA worships almost unfettered capitalism, which is why they are such a rich country but at the expense of their less capable citizens.
USA has insanely poor worker rights (termination, sick pay, mandatory paid holidays) and a completely broken health care system with outrageous expenses and second world public infrastructure. But.. in conversations I’ve had with Americans they kind of go meh, to any change.

shorts suck. I click the 3 dots and say don’t show me shorts. Then next day they are back again. Then in mobile they are starting to indistinguishable to regular videos. Shorts need to die in a fire, but YT wants a tick-tock equivalent doom scroller.

It was pretty evident to us EE’s within a few days that it was likely an AC inertia sync issue, primarily caused by green energy and lack of spinning mass. Ideologically driven left governments don’t particularly appreciate engineering and the risk and complexity of large power grids and just want more solar and wind, damn the risks.

You can’t say Germans don’t have a sense of humour after watching that movie

The infuriating thing is these people are usually correct. They are like the ultimate petty bureaucrats, happy to put their mother on a train because that’s the rules.

At this stage, it sounds like money laundering amongst the ultra rich.

I’ve heard cock pits harbour all sorts of bacteria.

That’s why I use magnetic adapters on all my iPad and Android stuff.

Of the many counties I’ve visited, USA has always felt the most third world.
I think they built lots of infrastructure post WWII into the 70s, but being built primarily on capitalism (rather than a mix of socialism and capitalism like most other countries) and don’t tax me bro, have let all that infrastructure decline.

Larry will barely raise one eyebrow while going back to stroke his bald cat.
