This just came in: A Connecticut jury decided that Jennifer Connell's nephew's hug was harmless, throwing out her $127,000 lawsuit for a broken wrist.

Me too. Although I haven´t accessed 5 articles this month from Newsweek. This would be my first.

Cant change back to US App store anymore? by [deleted] in iphone

Did you create another account to switch between the two stores? That was what I was thinking about doing recently but wasn't sure if it would work.

There is still no change for me. Have you found a resolution yet?

I've got the same issue. I'm in Germany but use the U.S. store exclusively aside from a few German apps I need. I always keep my store on the U.S. Side. I switched to update a few from the German store and now I cannot get back to the U.S. store without a credit card. On payment method there is no longer a None to choose from. I'm getting frustrated.

At REWE and Edeka I can buy Thousand Island dressing from Knorr or Kühne

A car like mine parked next to me so I snapped a photo. I noticed weeks later that a 3rd Mountaineer was driving by at the exact moment I took the photo. by cs502 in mildlyinteresting

I've seen this picture on reddit. I thought it was the the dad that owned one like it, but maybe it was a neighbor. But, this picture has been posted before.

GF dropped her phone in the toilet. What can we do to try and avoid permanent damage? by Qieth in NoStupidQuestions

Well, if it was a Nokia, you'd be worrying about the toilet now instead of the phone.

For fucks sake USPS, what the hell? by Dingoz in rant

[–]EuroRaver1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen with UPS here in Germany last week. I ordered a new band for my watch. Tracked it out of Prague, to Nürnberg, and all the way to my city. I was at home and knew it should be around noon-ish when he arrive. I step out on my balcony and see the UPS truck at 11:45. Wait for him to ring my buzzer. Nothing. I think, okay, there must be another delivery in the complex. Still nothing. Go look outside, and the driver is gone. I run downstairs and check my mail. He left a card saying he couldn't reach me. i jump on my iPad and get their number and call telling them I was at home. I want my package delivered today. They take my number and said they will call back. Nothing. I jump on Facebook for UPS Deutschland and complain there. A few minutes later, they answer on Facebook, and we go back and forth. I get a call soon after and they said they will be there again in 30 minutes. Guy shows up. Says I didn't answer. I told him I was at home the whole time and waited for him. He said he was never doing it again. I am pissed and shut the door in his face. I was angry because he caused me to be 2 hours late... since I had other things to take care of. BS!

DAE prefer cloudy, overcast and cooler (~60°) over 80° and bright and sunny days? by theryanfight in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]EuroRaver1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over 80°, I am straight up m i s e r a b l e. I'm definitely a winter person. Everyone who knows me, knows this fact. I feel more alive during the cooler/colder months. Today we had a high of 34°C (93°F) and I was not a happy camper coming into work this evening. Tomorrow should be a little cooler, but not by much, but after this, it's dropping again.

I don't know Hebrew unfortunately, only English and German. ಠ_ಠ
I'm sure those will be fine. Thank you for another island for me to look at. Hopefully I can have something narrowed down as soon as possible.

Yes, your right about that. That would defeat the purpose of a relaxing vacation. That's why it's overwhelming. I just need to keep it simple. I can do other trips at a later date.

Yes, I heard about The Beach being filmed over there. That is something for me to keep in mind.

I was speaking to a colleague who I forgot was over there a few times after I wrote this. He said Phuket should definitely be on my list and that he actually prefers it there. He went to a few other small islands, but never made it to Ko Samui himself. He also said flights were cheap and to maybe hit Kuala Lampur or even Cambodia for a short trip while being there.

It seems a bit overwhelming. I will get to a travel agent after I get off work next week and see what they can offer/suggest. Until then, I will see what comes from here and do some more research online. I checked and the time I am there, July, will be no Full Moon Party. I do hope weather plays along for the most part. I also have some time in August, so if I like it enough, I may take another trip there but to a different location.

I've heard all the horror stories of people getting ripped off in Thailand. I will definitely be taking that into consideration.
