He did say beforehand that he'd need a second to finish the email so the flight attendant could have told him then in a polite way that there was no time. And anyway, if they are so concerned about this, they can tell people to shut down th

When I went to study for a semester in Rochester, I didn't have a car and tried at first to hitchhike. What really surprised me was how scared most people were (especially when it was around 8pm at night) when I would approach them. It was

Completely off topic but you mention that you will start something with people from Hong Kong. I'm looking for a merchant account with a payment gateway in Hong Kong but haven't had any luck... Do you or your partner know anything that coul
