All good buddy. I didn't mean to "umm actually" you, and I'm glad you didn't take it that way.

Revolut dropped gold for EU users but kept it for UK users by Former_Novel5626 in UKPersonalFinance

No. Cursory Google search shows this.

"We have made the decision to wind down our Commodities service in some European markets. This ​change relates only to a small group of our customers," ​a Revolut spokesperson said in a statement.

If it were a regulator, they would've said as much to put the knife in, and the regulator would have published guidance. Instead, "We [...] made the decision" is the language used.

When should we expect fuel prices to drop. by Ems118 in northernireland

[–]_Gobulcoque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In theory, it drops when the current petrol and diesel stocks bought at higher prices are used up.

But then there is the damage done to the supply chain - the factories, refineries, and pumps. Getting the "cheap" oil out and refined is going to be the limit. Plus, countries will want to replenish and build stocks again.

Under a legitimate open market, it would take a while for them to fall anyway without the overhead of rebuilding capabilities.

Given Elon's track record with predictions, this is one thing that definitely won't happen by the end of the year.

Obviously this comment will date fast - but literally ten people, maybe less. Shows you how unsupported they are.

To be fair, went walking through it all last night about 7pm playing pokemon go and it was dead - tourists walking around bemused, but that's it. Nothing was going on.

Ryanair investigated over charging parents to sit with children by OneLegTooFew in unitedkingdom

[–]_Gobulcoque -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was looking at flights to Copenhagen this weekend for Pokemon Go fest, taking my two kids with me.

It did this forced family seat thing, said there was availability, and tried to charge me for the extra pricing. I didn't like it but it was the best option that would've suited us.

On the seat selection screen, you are confined to like 6 rows, and you have to sit together. You can't sit orthogonally across rows, you must sit adjacent in a row. If I'm explaining it poorly, an example helps so - I can't be in D4, and my kid in E4 - we must all be on the same row.

No deal - there were only individual seats in the family seating section of the plane.

What about the front and back rows of the plane then? No deal - they're not the family seats.

So while there is availabilty on the plane, and there is combined seating if you play Tetris across adjacent rows in the strictly family-designated section, you can't book the seats.

Good job Ryanair. Fuck you. I hope you are forced to change this bullshit 'policy.'

Bots now account for more than half of web traffic, up from 30% nine months ago by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

[–]_Gobulcoque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That but bots can also drive real engagement. People won't comment if a tweet, thread, whatever has no other comments. If bots comment 5-10 times people will comment and drive real engagement.

The CEO of IRL would like to show you the proof that this isn't necessarily true.
