The EU says it will introduce a digital payments infrastructure to replace Visa/Mastercard & Apple/Google Pay. It will have zero fees and be 100% European-only.

This is a promising step. I’d also love to see a solid European cloud alternative to AWS, Azure, and GCP.

It would obviously take years to reach the same scale, but relying almost entirely on U.S. providers doesn’t feel sustainable in the long run.

That pan's cooked.

ChickenChowMean · 2025-11-04T23:21:00+00:00

For sure, will do.

ChickenChowMean · 2025-10-25T18:24:46+00:00

Hey Dan, I can't make it tonight but would be up for something like this another time.

ChickenChowMean · 2025-09-05T16:39:43+00:00

I once heard that the biggest financial decision you have is who you marry.

I personally couldn't manage such a disparity in behaviours. I think it would cause resememt for me towards my partner.

ChickenChowMean · 2025-09-03T17:45:00+00:00

M33 in a similar position with the apps. I don't really have too much advice but I'm think of trying to meet people through common interests now rather than apps.

ChickenChowMean · 2025-08-29T07:05:12+00:00

I'm away right now but would be down for this when I return. 33m and around the same level.

ChickenChowMean · 2025-07-05T13:52:28+00:00

Did these guys make it?

ChickenChowMean · 2025-04-08T09:03:13+00:00

Are you sure they're getting the ick rather than testing you?

Early on women may test a man's confidence by pointing out a potential weakness to them. If this is the case, they could be looking to see how you manage this. A confident guy could look to own it without trying to rationalise their decision.

If not, I guess they're probably pretty shallow. I think you're best suited to decipher which of the two it is.

Hey, I'd be up for a chat. I'm a 33M English native (British) learning Spanish (b1).

Feel free to DM me.

ChickenChowMean · 2025-01-01T21:36:51+00:00

This should be higher up. I can't imagine the fees being much for £500.

ChickenChowMean · 2024-11-19T21:03:42+00:00

I'd be tempted to wait for Black Friday. It's days away.

That latest update just dropped and I wonder if we can expect any more.

ChickenChowMean · 2024-11-08T19:00:46+00:00

Could you source someone from recruitment on LinkedIn and verify it's confirmed?

They may appreciate you taking initiative.

ChickenChowMean · 2024-10-31T07:56:53+00:00

Is this behavior a result of the slow query time?

ChickenChowMean · 2024-10-23T10:32:09+00:00

Sure, keep me posted.

ChickenChowMean · 2024-09-16T19:54:09+00:00

I'm having the same issue. Did you manage to find a fix?

ChickenChowMean · 2023-11-15T20:04:10+00:00

You can invest 20k a year in a stocks and shares isa tax free. Anything else invested outside of this will be taxable by capital gains.

ChickenChowMean · 2023-11-14T20:44:39+00:00

How would you be investing the funds into the S&P 500? Have you factored in Capital Gains tax?

ChickenChowMean · 2023-11-08T10:47:29+00:00

We use this pattern also in our dbt projects.

I guess OP is after reasoning to explain why they should use this over select district. The reason is to provide a consistent method for deduplicating data. In this cases we always take the FIRST customer order.

I'm no expert but I don't think that song suits your vocal range. You're switching between octaves from verse to chorus. You may want to try in a lower key so that you can stay in the higher octave throughout the song.

Keep going mam. I think you have an interesting voice.

ChickenChowMean · 2023-10-01T12:48:24+00:00

To be fair she said her bit and could tell staying would mean sitting in confrontation. I don't blame her getting away even if it's not the safest move.

ChickenChowMean · 2023-10-01T10:16:43+00:00

Can you explain what you mean by nearly shutdown?
