To weed out people who scrutinize the scam. The same reason scams often have misspelled words. They want people who will react quickly without thinking too hard.

Is this a new requirement? I spent several months in the EU in 2022 and 2023 and never had to download an app to connect to the Wifi4EU networks.

I’m not in a swing state but I still get a decent amount of political spam. It’s mostly random PACs sending clickbait texts asking me to donate. Every so often I get a text from a candidate running in a completely different state and wonder where they got their lists.

to: Dr. Jækel Hydensen and Family would be better in English.

We sometimes send things to “The Hydensen Family” but that does seem to assume that the heads of the family have the same last name.

If you’re in the US and on a carrier that supports stir/shaken and voLTE, Carrion can block (or silence) calls that fail verification. It can also block calls from a block list.

It’s been like 6 years since I’ve owned a car but I’ll try to estimate what is was when I had one.

  • $150 a year in registration
  • $100 a month in insurance
  • $100 a month in gas
  • Not sure about maintenance but probably $50-$100 a month
  • $130 a year city sticker

So my estimate is $3500-$4000 a year

But I do spend about $150 a year in bicycle maintenance so there’s that. And about $50 a month in bus fares.

Earlier this year I had a connection in Doha, Qatar on my way to the US. I had to go through security twice even though it was a connection from another international flight (first was after getting off the first flight and the second was right before getting on second flight). Both times they took away all liquids, even those bought in the airport.
