My understanding, from the article, is that it was the text on the bio. I suppose the text in an introduction could be similarly weighted in the receiver's mind. So does an incredibly shitty introduction with a great picture warrant a

As a guy, this... this is pretty much it. I tried OKC for around half a year, starting out doing just that. After the first half I just said "Fuck it" and switched to bullshit two sentence intros that were fill in the blank types.

My understanding of the article, in the Japanese case, is not that the club requires or expects this sort of thing. This is a cruise for the "lucky" golfers friends and family and is more a societal expectation for whatever reason

Perhaps for the American case of buying a few dozen martinis, but what about the anecdote of a Japanese man taking 200 guests on a dinner cruise? With a premium of $3, per the article, that might not be a bad idea.

Source[0] I'm not a lawyer, but the police can ask you to perform a crime and bust you for it if "you were inclined to commit the crime anyway" or something like that. The rule of thumb is like if a tourist walked up and aske

It's currently 2 a.m. for all bars. The proposed change is all new bars must close at midnight, unless that bar is located in a hotel with at least 20 rooms. The actual area that would be restricted by this is mostly shops, restaurants

Don't forget the "War on Touror" wherein undercover police officers hand out $1000 fines to college kids after they've asked them to give an impromptu history tour of the peninsula.

To be entirely fair, this is a city that setup a sting operation to give bike-taxi drivers $1000 fines for giving impromptu tours of the peninsula. It's the kind of place that requires you to keep the horrible single-pane windows on yo

No, it's just fucking wrong. My point is that Bitcoin leaves the consumer defenseless. Eating at a restaurant Has nothing to do with that. I could in fact refuse to pay.

Or better yet, I just issue a chargeback and get my damned money back. The restaurant is just a terrible retort. I'm physically in a location to receive a service. This has nothing to do with paying for a product and not receiving it.

And that is a double-edged sword for the consumer. What if I purchase something and the vendor screws up and refuses to fix it? What if the vendor scams me? Having a credit card gives me the chargeback process to resolve a dispute. Using Du

I'm assuming that an announcement like this could effect stock prices. I have no knowledge of stock trading at all, but I would assume they would announce something like this if they expected it to have a positive effect.
