It’s the same reason many iPhone apps implement their own dialogues to ask about allowing notifications. If the user chooses ‘Deny’ in the system-provided one, the app can never ask again and the only way to turn notifications on later is t

Although that seems like it would hopefully fix itself as demand for vegan substitutes increases. The Impossible Burger is a good example of a vegan substitute that tastes uncannily like the thing it imitates. As for cost, it seems intuitiv

I think Puttgarden–Rødby is more likely. It used to be served by diesel ICE trains and it was really fun to ride onto a big old ferry on one of these unusually short ultra-sleek trains, get off the train, walk a lap around it, then go up to

When paying with a German bank card in Germany (especially in supermarkets), you’ll sometimes be asked for a signature instead of a PIN. This usually means that you give the merchant a mandate to debit your bank account directly rather than
