This is how it works in several countries in Europe, Nordics and Germany I think. Each grocery store has to have bottle recycler that scans and accepts only the correct bottles and cans. Cans get crushed and bottles, including plastic ones,

I've been using Airbnb for maybe 7 years. The cost has been never a reason, and often might rent places on Airbnb that are more expensive. My main reason is that with Airbnb, you can rent a fully functional apartment or a house, not a

Afaik, 5 years ago it was only available in the 1mg amount (which in the light of this article, would be good). I once ordered some online that was 3mg, and the customs almost fined me for illegal drug importing.

I generally agree that websites should be simple. Website for me means that it’s a page that shows mostly static information and there is minimal or no interaction other than reading. For that I think having simple or event brutalist design

Same here. Also got the premium rental car insurance from them, and ended up breaking the tail light on the rental while in France. I had to just to call them a file a short form, and then they took care of everything else.

I think its been somewhat common in US before as well in cafes, pizza places, bars, food courts etc. I think the difference the article is trying to make is the places like Souvla (fast-casual), that have nice decor, good/high-end food
