How do they measure "true happiness"? By the amount of dopamine excreted over the lifetime? Maybe it would be easier to just inject it directly (something that drug addicts do)?
As a passenger, to me cash is far more convenient, as it preserves my privacy and nobody can overcharge me.
The bill is usually 20-30% lower than Uber.
I'm sure 99% percent of drivers will choose 30% more money vs "avoiding risky cash". And they have an option of direct money transfer through mobile phone too.
Why do we need Uber in the first place? Where I live, there is an app that directly connects drivers to riders who pay cash, and nobody takes 30% fee fro mdriver's wages.
Uber's cost per ride is exactly zero. So they WILL make more per ride. Of course, there will be fewer rides, as more people will choose car or public transportation. They will probably lose overall.
That site looks like a collection of copy-pasted standard "investment wisdom" articles. The word "petrodollar" used in this particular article strongly suggests a propaganda operation, similar to RT or ZeroHedge.
Still works for me ... they just switched payment model from pay one time and enjoy forever to pay every year. Should have allowed old users to enjoy forever IMO ...
I remember long ago there was a service called Napster, that could distribute pirated songs "peer-to-peer". I wonder if it could be used again instead of the "platforms", because Napster network wasn't owned by anyone and nobody profited from it, so there is nobody to sue here.
Military spending is $934 billion in the 2021 budget. It's spread out among different agencies and budget categories, so you must add it all together. It includes:
Defense Department base budget: $636 billion.
DoD Overseas Contingency Operations: $69 billion.
Departments that support defense: $228 billion. They include the Department of Veterans Affairs ($93 billion), State Department ($48 billion), Homeland Security ($48 billion), FBI and Cybersecurity ($10 billion), and the National Nuclear Security Administration ($17 billion).
This is 63% of all the discretionary spending in the budget, i.e. the budget outside of mandatory payments such as Social Security.
There are 6 numbers, so it's not a 5 out of 50 lottery. 5 out of 50 means every 42000th tickets wins, which is a very high number, and can only be used in a lottery with small prizes. Of course, there are many lotteries for small prizes, for example there are millions of rounds of roulette plays occurring daily, and of course it's pretty often to have 2,3,4,5 and 6 occurring in sequence on some roulette table somewhere during a day. The phrase "1000 a year" relates to large national lotteries, where probabilities are much much smaller, it's about 1/250mln for US megamillions lottery, for example. So for 1000 of 1/10mln lotteries this will happen once every 273 years. I would say the probability of a foul play is high enough to warrant an investigation.
True. I'm old and I just have no desires anymore to spend money on. Low appetite, low libido and low energy, tired of traveling ... wish I had 1/100 of that money when I was young.
Such a pity young capable people spend their most productive years doing something entirely unproductive.
And one more thing. Are they winning with scratch cards only? Then it could be that they are utilizing some equipment to look through the paint, with accomplices in a ticket factory or distribution chain.
One such solution would be a small payment, something like 1 cent for access. That's not too much, because I am already paying 3 cents to a service solving captchas for me.
Well, holders of any particular coin are calling all the other coins a scam ... an example of how truth is hard to come by in a world governed by interests.
