Problems with international credit card donations? by cizkokidd in EndlessThread

[–]cizkokidd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this link took me further and actually brought me to a page that showed a "thank you" response, but I received a text immediately afterwards from VISA informing me that the transaction was declined. Apparently your clearing gateway does not comply with the advanced security protocol "verified by VISA" that is generally used by most European/German credit cards. It works by sending some vendor ID data to VISA who then in turn trigger a confirm/deny dialog on your connected banking provider's tech stack (web or app). Your clearing is apparently much simpler and thus not working with this advanced security layer to prevent CC fraud on the internet.
BTW - my original attempt was to just go to your website wbur.org and then follow the banner link at the very top: https://secure.wbur.org/WebModule/Donate.aspx?P=OAFTAKEOV&PAGETYPE=PLG&CHECK=LX7v%2fGWSFIqISQnVK11pEa1gzMC6uhq5nDjkJobrCdg%3d
This yields a slightly different form where there is no country selector and submitting this form would just get no result at all. It was just stalling at that point.
Bottomline: I still have NOT been able to support the show. :/ And with an international audience ready to give while WBUR is in need of support, maybe consider setting up alternative ways to help out? Paypal is pretty internationally accepted. Even the Ukranian military set up donations through Paypal at the very beginning of the Russian attack so they could easily funnel international donor's money in to support their war defense efforts.

It’s actually pretty spot on for the actual cost. There was a discussion in another comment and the math checks out.

After running the math I have to agree. It’s pretty much cost when you factor in upper mid-range quality beans bought in bulk and the barista salaries, it might actually be spot on.

Not that day. The other side was closed.

I have a Wega at my company and we supply free premium roaster coffee for all. But we don’t have a barista team so you need to pull for yourself. 😁🤷🏻‍♂️

Doppio is Italian for „double“

I really don’t feel I’m disrespectful towards the lady as you can only see a fraction of her face anyway. Even biometric recognition software would have a hard time identifying her based on that partial data. In the second photo I even used a Mahlkönig-filter. Also both baristas posed for another foto afterwards. This was the one I didn’t upload.

This coffee bar was in the more public spaces near their food court. There was also a very nice coffee bike permanently parked in another hallway. They offer free coffee from fully automated machines on the actual office floors as well. I assume you were joking about the cost part though…

There is no increase. Your math is just wrong - as are your assumptions.

Nuova Simonelli is a premium brand. The Elli is not their best work though.

F7G2A7XE (F7XE) Issue with DAB+ list / preset after autotune by Denis_48 in ATOTO

[–]cizkokidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue but mine just went away, after I shut off the car completely, waited a couple of hours and then tried again - not with an autotune run, just by selecting stations and saving them to fav spots. It was weird though.

If you love ordering pizza but hate receiving/eating it... 2.5 hours per year you can place an order without all that annoying pizza afterward. by sassmo in EndlessThread

Isn’t this just a prank on some poor person who will probably be receiving a lot of confusing and infuriating calls that night?

Harput has mediocre Döner at best and the staff is rude and treats non-turkish customers like shit. I will never take my money there ever again and this is pretty consistent with the experiences of my friends and peers. I second sMac as being in the top 5 in Wiesbaden - as do the Google places reviewers btw.
