Looking at my spending in the UK, about 90% goes through Amex. Even the small corner shop takes it.

In the UK (which broadly follows the same rules), I get 0.25% with a Visa and 1.25% with Amex. Sometimes there are introductory offers for a few months.

> Right, but there's still an addressable set of display units that convert an RGB signal to actual glowing lights, right? Yes. But those glowing lights aren't little squares in a neat horizontal and vertical rows. The square p

You've described the exact problem. Sub pixel rendering exploits the fact that most display pixels aren't discrete logical squares. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering

They aren't hardware based. As I say in the first link, pixels mostly don't exist in hardware. Screens very rarely contain a matrix of individual squares. For example - https://global.samsungdisplay.com/29043/

May I ask which browser you're using? I do test on all the major ones at a variety of screen sizes. Or, have your perhaps selected one of the different themes at the top of the site?

But that doesn't bring down the PM personally. The last VONC to pass was in 1979, and Callaghan continued to lead Labour (albeit to defeat) in the General Election.

The UK has no constitutional method to remove a PM. The USA does have a constitutional method to remove a President. Nevertheless, in living memory all Presidents have survived their impeachments. Whereas (with the exceptions of Major, Brow

I overheard a conversation between someone on the Pixel Watch team and a woman I know. He was quizzing her at a party about what features she used - which were pretty much step counter and payment. He somewhat dismissively sneered, "We

The boring answer is that infrastructure costs money. You either use taxes from everyone to pay for it or you take money from the people using the thing.

What's banal to you is exotic to me. I've seen tourists in London marvel at the most commonplace thing - and I think that's delightful.

In the UK I've never seen a train open its doors directly to the tracks. We also have lots of warning not to cross the tracks except by bridge or tunnel.

How do you handle seat reservation refunds? That was our most annoying experience with the Interrail app - a booking fee on top of the reservation, but little support when those trains were delayed or cancelled.
58.
by edent 3mo ago
Yes. The app makes it really easy to do that. In our last trip we did it a few times. But, as you get older, there's a certain joy in making plans in advance.

by edent 3mo ago
No, I just imagined the trip… Yes, very much still a thing. We saw Interrail travellers of all ages. Lots of students going on a big adventure - but a decent number of more experienced travellers seeing the sights.

The passes were about €500 each for first class. Each reservation was €3-€15. The overnight ferry was about €100 each.
