Uh, the Russia is doing that on every possible platform. Why would ours be an exception? What makes Lemmy so special?
Mathematics and languages have different rules.
In languages it is possible for one century to be a yewa shorter than all the others. Other centuries begin on a year divisible by hundred, but centuries 1–99 and -1–-99 don't. They are both missing a year, and outside mathematics that's just fine.
If almost all native speakers of a language say that a century begins in a year divisible by hundred then that's how it goes in that language.
On working days before 16 o'clock bank transfers inside EU are instantaneous. After that, next working day. If the shop has the same bank as the customer, it's always instantaneous.
But, the shop receives immediate confirmation that the money has been successfully taken from the customer's account and will arrive soon.
...which is actually how it works with card payments as well. With card payments, the shop receives the money about a week later, but gets an immediate confirmation that the money is on the way.
Handling cash costs money as well.
I'd like to know who got the idea to name the system with a word meaning "tax" in Finnish, one of the official languages of EU... Both are related to money, so there is a possibility for confusion.
(We used to always use w, and had a reform some ~century ago to allow using v instead. Therefore, w is considered another form of v in Finnish, and thereby wero equals vero)
Online you pay by bank transfer. Instead of "credit card", I choose "online bank", click my bank's name, enter my online banking login and password, give one of the single-use codes and press "transfer". A bank transfer from my account to the bank account number defined by the shop is made, no money goes to USA.
Diplomatic immunity is in effect only for people invited to the country as diplomats. The ambassador of USA to Finland does not have immunity when he travels to Sweden.
What I wonder: what are the laws regarding a person coming to Greenland in order to work there as a worker of a foreign company/organization? Did Vance enter Greenland as a tourist? Since he was working from Greenland's soil without a work visa, was he an illegal immigrant?
Three weeks with lights constantly on, amirite?
No visas are needed between Europe and USA. EU will very soon begin an ESTA-like scheme, but that's not in effect yet. And, since Greenland is not in EU, probably it won't come into effect either.
Vance could therefore simply appear at the border and the one individual border guard is then alone responsible for deciding whether to allow or refuse entry for USA's vice president.
I spent two months in 2015 in Ukraine, then hitchhiked some weeks in the Russia. Almost all drivers kept telling me how Ukraine is a failing state, how their roads are full of bandits, how Ukrainians hate speakers of Russian language and torture them or how Ukraine "has been bombing Donetsk". And when I told them I had spent that long in Ukraine because I found love there and that my Ukrainian girlfriend's mother tongue was Russian and our sole language of communication both between each other and with the society around was Russian they kept saying the same:
" The Ukrainians only showed you what they wanted you to see". To me telling that I had been spending plenty of time alone doing shopping or whatever, and hitchhiked all around the western third of Ukraine, they tended to say "clearly they still didn't show you their true self".
It's not something they were saying against their real knowledge. It was very clearly what they "knew" to be true.
They do a seriously big effort to actively maintain an illusion in their head that their country is in the right, and they are truly supportive of its actions. It's not all of Russians, but it is 90 % of them. Or at least 70 % even according to the research most good-looking for them. It is a nation gone mad. If you read their study books for mathematics or Russian language and see how full they are of propaganda about Russian history, it's clear where that comes from.
If they went to Russian school, their brain is rotten for good. Unless they are an exceptional personality. In which case they have already emigrated.
VoIP means any online call, including Zoom-to-Zoom or Skype-to-Skype or Discord-to-Discord.
Most VoIP programs don't support calling regular telephone numbers.
Well, the word "automatically" is an exaggeration. For example, if it was a close call and it seems you were in the court fairly, then the losing side might not have to pay up, at least not in full. But often they do. Better settle if you think you'll lose. It's a lot cheaper that way.
