Im in the eu and I did it one transaction. I was asked into a room for privacy due to the amount so I could put it away.

For the record I ws dodging taxes and was not inconvenienced.

A weeks battery is insane, 7-10 times as big as the average battery now.

Im trying!

Man reddit has a treasure trove of answers to shit though, pinterest though that is a must.

Maybe, I dont recall but it definitely wasnt a hardship.

I bought a car for 30k cash in Europe very recently and received mone of these heartaches.

It was really easy, I withdrew my money, drove to te dealership. Handed him a bag of money, which he counted. He then gave me a receipt for €25,350 and my car.

Is the resolution capped for desktop mode?

Is resolution capped? Netflix had prevented high bitrate 4k on desktop previously. In fact I think it was capped to 720.

Is there not an issue with the likes of streamers capping resolution on desktops? Maybe you dont use streamers at all.

Absolutely there is, the housing crisis is a result of long term failures by government. While it may be exasperated by refugees and asylum seekers, the system should have allowed for this but it did not even allow for natural population growth.

There has been a 20 year under delivering of residential housing. The government has failed to stop large funds buying up large swathes of new developments to rent out or sit on.

There are very simple solutions that could be immediately implemented like banning Airbnb, banning, corporate residential ownership, increasing taxes on multiple homes and introducing a meaningful derelict/unused home tax.

The problem is the governments pensions funds are tied to the real estate market and the level of taxation on other forms of investment has left property as the main viable option.

Commercial zoning is different, not entirely unrelated but the datacentres are not competing with residential property developers.

I have had this argument with my politically minded friends. These are not all that bad. Ireland has an ever increasing percentage of renewables, they provide a high standard of living for their employees and the demand exists regardless of where we put them.

Some moved to block these, and so they would exist somewhere else. The only difference would be that place might have less renewables and Ireland loses opportunity for high income positions.

I dont think they do in this case.

UK intelligence has been more conservative in their figures but not by a significant amount. They often report a milestone within days or a fortnight of Ukraine.

I understand your grievance and that is fair, I apologise for being rude. I sincerely believe that you have not said anything of substance regarding the ties between oil and food shortages. I am not denying a link but I am questioning the strength of the link, which you implied was very strong.

Food shortage, I do not know your experience in your region but it could be the case. Generally speaking when logistics increase on costs, so do the prices on staples like food. It isnt the case that food would become scarce, at least not at this level of increase.

I also I never said I prefer the convenience over the privacy. Here is a tip, just because you hold a viewpoint does not mean it is infallible. There ae trade offs. While personally I am scurity and privacy conscious, I was pointing out the barrier for people to opt out, that is all. There is no two ways about it, unless there are a ratoo of 1:1 staff to passengers who opt out there will be a queue. The machines were put in in massive volume far exceeding the number of staff that would ever be checking people through in order to speed up the experience and due to them costing less to run.

I agree with you. You can still be objective and recognise the situation for what it is. A barrier to opting out is the likelihood that the manual check through takes more time. It doesnt have to be significantly more time.

I never said it was a big deal at all, it isnt.

But there is an increased likelihood of a queue when opting for the non automated route. It is the reason automation is implemented.

I too have been throuhh airports, it has never bothered me but if you dont go through the automated queue you might face a longer queue because a lot of previously manual customs real estate is given over to automation now.

Because to get to the guy in the kiosk you have to queue up and that is likely to be long. That is what was stated.

That wasnt mean, it is genuine concern. I dont know how to talk to you, you dont make sense to me.

Like drugs have never been bought on card, and money washed through banks…

It may be the case that people do not want every single step they take to be monitored as it currently is.

You might not have a phone or be charged per use of card.
