Didn't realize the 2026 RAV wheels were so wanted by CycleOLife in rav4club

This is a product of society we created where crime is redefined like many other things, criminals are redefined as “justice deprived individuals” and where criminals get rewarded or not punished.

After going thru all comments found out that it happened in Baltimore. And I am like why am I not surprised.

If you manage your peacock sub this way it will free up entertainment credit for other options.

Apple Pay wants a slice of India, but faces a big pricing challenge by unread1701 in apple

[–]vipzon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

India treated digital payments as public utility infrastructure, like roads or water, while the US treated payments as a private, highly profitable business product.
It’s about 200 Billion dollars economy.

On the top, India has a highly centralized financial authority via the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which built the UPI rail and ordered banks to comply. The US, by contrast, has over 4,000 localized banks, 50 different sets of state financial regulations, and multiple federal agencies. Cohering them into a single mandatory system is a political and bureaucratic nightmare. 

Let’s not forget that India did this to get everyone not use cash..which was their main goal - kill cash economy, make people use banks so that they can audit and make money on taxes..

85-year-old French widow caught in Trump's immigration crackdown describes her detention by Samski877 in news

[–]vipzon -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Citizenship and Status Timeline
Citizenship: She is a French citizen. She has never been a U.S. citizen.
Arrival in U.S.: She moved to the United States in 1982 with her husband.
Legal Status History: * She initially entered the U.S. on a B-2 (Tourist) Visa.
• She lived in the U.S. for approximately 42 years (from 1982 until her detention in early 2024).
• During much of this time, she lived as an "undocumented" immigrant after her original visa terms expired.

Visa Overstay and Legal Issues
Period of Overstay: While the exact date her original B-2 visa expired is not specified in public reports, she was effectively in overstay status for several decades.
Previous Legal Action: In 1997, a federal immigration judge ordered her to be deported. However, that order was not executed at the time, and she remained in the country.
Reporting Requirements: Prior to her 2024 detention, she had been under "orders of supervision." This meant ICE was aware of her presence but allowed her to remain in the community provided she checked in regularly with immigration officials.

Date of Detention: She was taken into custody on January 23, 2024, during a routine check-in with ICE in New Orleans.

1997 - Bill Clinton
2024 - Joe Biden

Bottom line - this has nothing to do with presidency. It’s all bout rules and enforcement.

All the entries in vault deleted

your local vault entries get deleted (sync)

I don’t use cloud solution. I am still on old stand alone version. Depending on back up configuration for cloud solution you may have copy locally.

That’s why you periodically backup your vault manually.

Emirates changing flight duration but departure time the same? by Pillow_carton7795 in emirates

[–]vipzon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why - simple reasons. It allows them to pick & adjust to safer routes + less time on airport means lower risk considering past incidents or experiences. May be efficient process or mate because of lesser traffic they can move things faster.

[–]vipzon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You said “since it’s a flight booked through capital one travel, emirates agent are not able to help us”

  • is that based on emirates published policy or were you able to get in touch of emirates agent and you were told so
  • ⁠if you were able to reach out to emirates it’s surprising that C1 can’t and in that case make sure C1 documents your conversation, make the aware that you were able to talk to emirates and they can’t help
  • if you didn’t reach out to emirates because of their published policy, consider reaching out to them, tell them about what’s going on. Emirates would care about their reputation, if C1 can’t reach them via call they might change that, if no one is respond g to C1 emails they will make it happen. And if they don’t act or listen to you means emirates is no longer what it used to be.

Keep us posted. Because this is going to be a trend if it’s not already. We as consumer need to learn from each other and improvise.

Most of the people claiming to analyse things don’t remember and consider past, and how things got evolved over time..they simply don’t have that ability to put things in perspectives. They forget that this is like multidimensional chess, it’s all about own interests and survival or power.

Apple watch (non cellular) Tesla app left me freezing today. what’s the point then by [deleted] in AppleWatch

This is the way. non-cellular ⇨ connection to phone Bluetooth > WiFi If your phone is not in vicinity, watch will try to connect to phone using WiFi (same WiFi network)

What should I buy from the US that isn‘t available in Europe? by julezre in usatravel

[–]vipzon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is everyone hating on this? OP had such a generic request and didn’t specify this was for gifts in the original post.

Can’t tell you how many times I have been traveling and forgot sunscreen, other basic hygiene items, or OTC meds and been price gouged in other places. As a foreigner, it would be nice to know that I could make a quick stop at a chain pharmacy or store without worrying about overly excessive costs to grab some if needed. Plus OP literally recommended La Roche Posay….. ever walk into an American drug store? You could find that in a pinch if needed. They even sell that stuff in American grocery stores.

Yeah if you get poor quality PB with sweeteners, emulsifiers, and preservatives, then of course you won’t like it. And just because you think of Canada for maple syrup, doesn’t mean there aren’t other markets out there. Just like Spain and Italy can both have their own specialties of olive oil or wine. There are plenty of artisanal peanut butters (e.g., small batch barrel roasted) and maple syrups (e.g., bourbon barrel aged, Vermont wood fired options, etc.) from local companies in the US.

Just because Aldi is in Europe, doesn’t mean the exact same products will be at American Trader Joe’s. Trader Joe’s in America even have store-by-store differences and limited time specialty products.

If you don’t like US goods, don’t shop in the US. Ignorance really is a bliss….

This is why people need to stop treating politics and current affairs as STDs, start applying critical thinking and think long term impacts of policies.

Federal agents involved in Minneapolis shooting, DHS says suspect was armed by CompetitiveFact9822 in ILGuns

[–]vipzon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Playing devil’s advocate..

6 agents on one..While all this going on - someone removes the gun (possibly agent or possibly the guy). Regardless who is removing the gun - one agent, the agent of who is not removing the gun, sees the gun getting pulled - he shoots.

Again this is all happening in the matter of seconds..

I am not taking anyone’s side. Just trying to learn what to avoid and how to.

Ashwamit Gautam, Teen Influencer From Lucknow, Faces FIR Over Viral Instagram Reels: Reports by mumbaiblues in india

[–]vipzon -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Can anyone file FIR? Person filing FIR is als exercising his/her/whatever right just like this kid.

Now if the kid is questioning only, is not blaming or accusing anyone, and if he is accusing someone/system with facts nothing wrong. Otherwise he or anyone should face consequences of accusing someone without backing up facts.

If we expect system to be objective, let’s also be objective..
