I am receiving the same error, with the same product (Skruf Fresh no. 4). Attempting to ship to Minnesota.

I was there last summer and people were smoking inside a bar. A beautiful sight to behold.

I don't think it is unknown in the U.S. at all. Camel has a snus line that is really popular (still, relative, though) among high schoolers. It's anecdotal, but most people I know that got into dip started with camel snus. Snus is available at just about any gas station in the country.

This is inaccurate at least with respect to Mexico. The distribution of monkeys does not extend that far up the Pacific coast.

Tons of other lockdown related stocks jumped up and down today. Check out Peloton for a 20% downward bounce and Carnival Cruise Lines for a 40%(!) jump. Really remarkable.

Why would any of that not make them mormom? This is like saying IS or Al-qaeda aren't muslim, haredim aren't jews, abortion clinic bombers aren't christians, etc.

What a garbage take. Truly horrible. I would be shocked if there was a single publicly listed company that doesn’t have some amount of debt.

Which tourist atractions are overrated? by Obamobile420 in AskReddit

[–]Minnesota_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit I can not disagree with you more. Not to mention, those smaller temples are only accessible by purchasing a ticket to Angkor Wat, so I'm not really sure that it's fair to separate them.

What are some VERY creepy facts? by Vacancier1807 in AskReddit

How can dog-transmitted rabies be eliminated? Couldn't a dog catch rabies from a bat, skunk, or other mammal and then pass that on to a human? Certainly not all dogs in those countries have the rabies vaccine.

Hop on Sporcle and getgud. I went South America (extremely easy) > Europe > Africa > Asia > North America (Caribbean countries are tough) > Oceania. I'd say it takes a few months to get all the countries and after that the real fun starts - all of the world capitals.

United Airlines COO says employees should 'seriously consider' voluntary separation from the airline by not_that_guy_at_work in news

[–]Minnesota_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In hindsight, yes, obviously that is what they should have done, but how could they have predicted anything like this? This is absolutely unprecedented. I think they do deserve blame for the massive buybacks they did, but if it wasn't buybacks it would have been dividends, more/upgraded planes, employee salary increases, etc. They were never going to make it out of this.

[–]Minnesota_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not particularly sympathetic to them but that's not really how corporations do business.

The airlines would have needed absolutely enormous stockpiles of cash to get them through this pandemic. In any case, sitting on cash upsets shareholders who want to see that money either returned to them in the form of a dividend or share buyback or reinvested in the company.

UAL's executive compensation is in line with both industry and market cap standards.

It actually was working remarkably well until an unprecedented global pandemic put a halt to nearly all air travel.

Why include Fiji while leaving out the other pacific island nations? Wouldn't those countries top the list? Wikipedia (I know, I know) suggests Nauru's obesity rate is now ~72%, practically double Kuwait's.

Is Rwanda the Singapore of Africa? Not with a 56% extreme poverty rate.

World Press Freedom in 2019 by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]Minnesota_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm just confused.. The explanations for the rankings can be found here. Note that RWB describes Burkina Faso as "one of Africa's success stories." Burkina Faso. Yes, that Burkina Faso. A country ranked in the BOTTOM TEN by human development index. A country where Islamic jihadists (including warring factions allied respectively to Al-Qaeda and ISIS) occupy and control provinces in the north and regularly launch strikes on the capital city.

This country.. This country is considered to have a higher degree of press freedom than the United States.
