It's similar where I live, but with a lower limit... Most transactions over US$100 are required to be linked to your ID number.

Totally agree. Over the past year I've clocked more than 50,000 minutes in Zoom alone, and it is much better than any other I've used.

Zoom just did it better. Using zoom was frictionless, specially pre-Corona Times. - Keyboard shortcuts for most common tasks (new meeting, copy meeting id) - Just send a link to invite someone to a meeting (no need to wait for the "e-m

I can speak from my experience as a Salvadoran/Latin American where visa restrictions affect Northbound travel. * Take El Salvador and Mexico: They are two countries that are close to each other, they also share language and have his

The description of your instagram profile has made me genuinely curious. It describes the kind of pictures I take when I travel. Is your ig profile public?

It's a bit pricy. Are there other countries that offer something similar?

Definitely! I'd love to earn $3200 a month here... I don't mind much about the wage gap between countries when I do local work, but it gets ackward when working with remote teams. Like I may earn $20k/yr here for what my team

My country uses the US Dollar as currency but since tax is added to prices we dont use pennies as much as in the US. * Most prices are given in 5 cent multiples. * The pennies I get are usually from change in supermarkets or from produfts w

Third world country here... I live in a block with a bad circuit, and we have brief <5min outages at least once a week. I dont like it because it makes my microwave's clock unusable. Neighbours one block away don't have that ma

You could try reading articles from the Economist. They have a very interesting way of writing that avoids common phrases, cliches and words that come from latin when an English equivalent exists. They also use lots of comparisons and inter

My country is on that list. The president/government is using Twitter to: * Order military lockdowns in cities * Defect blame to all political oponents * Threaten to shutdown the largest bank and mobile phone operator * Bot networks th
