Yes. Those are all excellent reasons to have an ID.

There are many available but people are not required to have one (unless driving, etc.)

I agree with you.

They’re not essays you can skim. But I enjoy a word journey.

Not sure about the others, but I have had no problem getting life insurance as a private pilot. Some companies won’t touch it, but plenty will.

I always get offers for an additional 1% back on my Amazon Prime credit card.

I had a similar experience. After it was released in the US, I took a trip to the Netherlands. I had a lot of “how did you do that?” reactions from merchants when I paid for things with my phone.

> If you always pay down your credit card debt every billing period, you're considered a "deadbeat" because you're using the benefits of the credit card's payment processing but not paying in interest.

So why do they keep offering me incentives to use their product? Is it the hope that one day, after 20 years, I'll finally overspend and they'll get to collect some interest from me?

That’s just another whois privacy service trying to cut down on spam. Every domain I’ve bought has had that offered as a feature.

And it is so much better I routinely pay hundreds more to fly out of Paine Field.

I was going to say…I would absolutely love a cubicle.

How would you describe the difference between thoughtful and caring?

No, you can do it all on your own. I’ve done it over mail and if you only have regular salary or hourly income, it is like one form.

I thought the motivation to ban TikTok came from concerns about influence over political discourse rather than consumer privacy?

Even if they are in their mid-30s that strikes me as a common age to have children which require child care.

Why is that?

Indeed. We also acquired a lot and are getting bids to build a modest 3 bedroom house for us and two kids. People saying “build more” seem to be under the impression that construction labor and materials are cheap and we’re just refusing to do it.

It’s really frustrating reading this thread looking for an actual answer to the question of “how would Brazil enforce any of its demands?”

In Washington state at least I just have to let them scan my drivers license.

Does it not? Pop!_OS uses Flatpak, I believe.

When the single command is gpg, I’m not so sure…

I suspect not that many care about 4K streaming. Many might actually be doing the majority of their consumption on their phones in the first place.

Doctors can be out of network and still accept the insurance.

It is easier when friends, for whatever reason, understand that I can't just "get a babysitter" to come out with them on a Friday night.

You can still have other friends. It just takes more effort to build and maintain those relationships.

Part of me really wants to try this. Part of me is terrified of scanning my passport with an app I have just heard of.

I think it is more like this:

Boss: “Block this account please.”

Employee: “ok”

Wouldn’t it look like a normal ACH transfer request? Just faster?

I think that depends a bit on context. If I am at home, and my neighbors are advertising an open Wi-Fi network, I’ve never taken that as an invitation to connect and use it. However, if I’m at coffee shop Foo and I see “Foo Guest” advertised, then sure…
