Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them

Reply in thread

Those overly negative comments often come from USA. I've never had any major problems with self checkout in Europe and I generally go there as it's faster and you don't have to race against the cashier. Of course some chains have worse self checkouts, some have better but overall many people like it a lot. Even some older people who are not tech savvy use them.

Seriously guys! It’s drinkable in all EU countries!

The reason behind bottled water is a mixture of bad taste, hardness and lack of trust for watter supply (age related thing). Hence why additional filters have become somewhat popular (from small bottles with built-in filters that you fill on the go up to large separate installations that filter water for entire house). Everything depends on type of water available in certain areas. Cities by the mountains are the best in that aspect as they are often supplied with water directly from the mountains.

Cultural question to Brits as this happened in UK. Do people care if their dog attacks someone or is highly agressive to humans in UK?

By what I've heard from my friends, dog owners often put the blame on attacked/harassed passers-by, they don't feel accountable for their wrongdoings (i.e. not using leash and not paying attention to where their dog is and what is it doing).

Fun fact: Windows XP had cool day 0 loophole that saved my my ass. Once I decided to explore new options and I stumbled upon new and cool feature: setting a password. The only issue with it was that I've forgotten it half an hour later. I already knew 'admin' word so I used it in hackerman style and I logged in and I was able to reverse old password. This loophole was patched with first service pack but I still giggle when I remind myself of that.

[TOT vs CHE] - MATCH THREAD

Crazy match, I'm still about Romero card. While possession was contested there, he was very close to the ball unlike running scum that happened to run into him. Everything else would've looked different.

Now the discussion is how to fill a big hole in defence line for next 3 matches.

I believe it's just US thing, I literally never happened to hear that they cancel something that they pledged to secure, not wanting to accept certain claim - that happens regularly but not saying outright to cancel important part of the deal

Thanks for the feedback. This is exactly what I've been hearing from friends that had problems with dogs in UK. They usually described this issue as dog having more rights to do whatever it wants than people.

Vicario vs Raya.

Reply in thread

Those are still early days. It was first real test of this defensive line-up, they were very shaky under pressure during first half but later on grew into it despite loosing Romeo. First 15 min the midfield wasn't really sure how to cover spaces for defenders very often. It's still a rough, unpolished product.

BTW this stat misses the fact that Vicario makes way better facial expressions that Raya, it's pure gold.

Stand for a moment. A bell tolls in the distance. Harry Kane to FC Bayern. Here. We. Go. 🏴

The 'no trophies' narration probably really got him unfortunately. Maybe if Haland wasn't at City he'd feel that new goalscoring that he'd get wouldn't last as long as Shearer. Also I was hoping that the contract with FCB will be shorter so there's a glimmer of hope that he comes back to claim the record later on but it seems unlikely now.

It seems that transfer approach has changed to data driven so there's higher probability that there will be less disappointments than after Bale.
